That looks pretty darn cool!! I like the portrayal of desperate action!!! Nice layout.

PS: Welcome aboard Kalfrox! Glad to have you join us here. Looking forward to more of your pics.

Hello Kralfox,

Allow me to be the first to welcome you aboard this excellent site. Nice to see some additional Asian input. I think it is an excellent first effort. If there are areas to look out foir I would say it would be the decor, there doesn't seem to be enough depth and definition. Secondly the guy who passed through the wondow would probably be showing traces of the injuries sustained. The battle damage is realistic and well executed. I think you are on the road to successful diorama building! Believe me, I am never content with any of my work, and can always find something that I could have done better or differently. Keep up the good work,

and welcome to this big family.

Now Gosh darn Ken Fortier,

You just stop typing so fast, that I can't get my secret super modeller votes fixed up!!

Jack Bond

That Jack is one wild dude,think we need to get him back in the states for awhile . Welcome aboard their Kalfrox,nice dio Jack said it all.

hello, welcome aboard !
I like your jeep ! Most of all the broken windshield. That's great !
I'm like Jack, I would've used a different layout... It looks like there's a bit too much
empty space behind the action. If you want to give the feeling that the soldiers
are desperately hiding behind the jeep, unable to move back, ypu'd better
leave that empty space in front rather than behind... but well, this is a very personal view !
Also, the skin tones look a bit strange... But for this the perfect solution is on this site :
join us in the figure group building ! It's just starting !

I hope I don't sound too negative, because I realy like your dio !

Hi!
I really like your dio, but I think that the MUTT used on Nan had the two part windeshield????????????????????????
But in overall it looks great, I'd like to be able to make such a great dio, someday!
And last but not least, welcome to our community, I'm sure you gonna fell in home here!.
Cheers

Kalfrox - nice scene & setting. I could "feel" where you were going with it. I like that in a diorama.

Although late in the discussion....

Welcome!! You couldn't have come to a better place!! The help is always well poised and heartfelt.

Nice job, hope to see more of that coming!!

Welcome to ArmoramA.

The best way to simulate sand is with sand itself. Get a thin one and it will look nice.

thanks jose
I'll try that one :-)

To fix your sand you could use wood putty.
I use a foam-like putty that dries to become very hard. When it's still wet, you can place stuff
in and on it !
