I'm thinking of putting the Dragon 251 and kubelwagen with figures down by the water refilling jerry cans. Need something else though and I can't come up with ideas?

How about all of your Germans facing one direction watching the guys filling the water cans and a few US or Brit paratroopers slipping up from the other side...?

Just a thought...

That's looking good teacher, i reckon some long grass, like chest high, might go well on the steep sides. And maybe the Germans are panicking because they've seen a Allied fighter-bomber up ahead? Or the bridge has been wired with explosive by partisans? that would be interesting, and not so mainstream. What are you doing the water with? Are you breaking up the pavement on the bridge?
Anyway, i will be looking fwd to seeing this diorama

why not let the veiwer see whats comming next?.. an ambush?.. some soldiers under the bridge with the wagen on top with perhaps one or troops lazely walking along and an ambush waiting for them?.. why do they want to ambush them?.. documents? armour?.. its up to you my friend. Dinamite being armed under the bridge for a german ambush?.. or a german ambush in preporation? a command post with a wagon being stationed on the bridge?

just a vision maby?
