Zach,
the diorama looks very good. Don't forget to finish the edges (sides) of the diorama / base.
The dio itself looks very good as far as I can see it. Maybe add some details to it like shells, small caliber rounds, cola bottles / cans etc.... just my two cents.

Oh and about the bricks.... in the formation they are in now they wouldn't last for half an hour. If you can, redo them and pile them like this :

It's even better to use sandbags in stead of bricks.

THANKS FOR ALL THE COMPLIMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS I'M GOING TO ADD "MUD" IN BETWEEN THE "CINDERBLOCKS" AND ADD MORE PERSONAL STUFF (IRAQI'S MOST WANTED PLAYING CARDS(TAKES PLACE IN 2003), CIGARETTE PACKS, SF HELMETS WITH FLAGS ON BOTH SIDES, AND AN EXTRA M4 RIS, PLUS A COUPLE OF S.P.E.A.R. PACKS, MRE'S, AT-4, AND WATER CANS.
I DID THE BEARD AFFECT WITH BURNT UMBER LIGHTLY THINNED WITH WATER (SO THAT MEANS ITS ACRYL
) AND I JUST FOLLOWED THE NATURAL PATTERN OF HAIR GROWTH (BY LOOKING IN THE MIRROR *REMINDER TO SHAVE*
) AND I DID THE EYEBROWS THE SAME WAY BUT WITH THE LITTLE METAL PLUG THAT COMES WITH TESTORS "BOTTLE" GLUE
ZACH
BTW DID ANYONE NOTICE (ITS HARD TO TELL CAUSE THE CRAPPY PICS) THE SF INSIGNIA AND THE NAME TAPES ON THE GUYS?

Sorry buddy but even knowing the nametags and insignia are there, the pics are too blurry to see them.
