I updated the photos. The resolution is a lot better this time. I am tossing some faux turf and put some touches of pain as well as more debris. I'm still working on my bricks.
I hope the images are detailed enough

Got in this time. For your 1st go at it, it's quite good.
Couple of things I'd offer, the debris looks to cleanly placed (I noticed your post about more debris -that will help). I don't know if thats a scratch wall or not, the door and windows look a bit skinny to me.
The wall paper is a nice touch, especially for a first diorama. The layout is nice.

Yup. The door and the walls were scratch built as well as the wagon/cart. Major booboo on the walls. It was my first time to use polyform . I hate anything that involves baking but i thought it was a novel idea . I used styrofoam for the debris. I just did the finishing touches for the debris and will be posting the finished pics on my gallery.
Thanks for the encouraging review

looks real good for your first shot. i like the foliage on the para's helmets. the interior of the building looks nice. one thing that will make this a really nice dio is the addition of fine debris like cat litter around the larger, if you werent already planning on that. good job!

Looks like some potential there but the pics are still not sharp enough. From what I can tell you modified some of the Dragon Red Devil Paras but details are hard to see.

Right on Shermie! They were Dragon Red Devils, and yes they were slightly modified. The photo was taken using a Digital Camcorder hence the fuzziness. Gonna get me a digital camera soon.
