Nice! My only comment is a little clean on the tracks. Try adding some kind of red dust (to stimulate dust formed by the treads crushing the red brick)

Ciao Tigeriv,
You are really getting good at this!! Great job!! You might think about "beating up" the dio a little bit. It looks great, and I love the composition, but it looks a little too clean. Great job!!
Ciao for now

Hi Tigeriv....
Great little dio you've got there, I'm specially interested in the rubble; if I look at the edge of the dio, it looks like if you have casted the groundwork....is this so, or is this a modellers secret??
You might consider to dirty-up the Tiger a little more, like Shonen said, to blend in her a bit better.
Just my two cents, John.

Nice job. A couple of things I would offer are, reposition the TC to have his full arm supported, it looks a bit 'off' to have a small handle support the whole arm with no sag.
The edge of the base could use a bit of 'differentiation'. I would take some black/dark blue paint and pain the edge to give it a finished 'different' look so viewers don't try to visually blend it with the action.
The tow cables are very bright, I would add a black wash to tone them down.

ha ha ha ha :-) how can you not know? hahahahahahaha :-)
I'm kidding, really, the air cleaners were there on the early tigers, you may be building one of those then, so leave them on or I will have to laugh more :-)

Tiger:
You mentioned in your thread that this is "...only a small base but its the only one I have".
In this instance I like your smaller base, as it shows off the Tiger and its crew very effectively -- plus you have canted the Tiger at an angle different from the shape of the base shape -- a nice visual touch. You have achieved a well balanced little scene here.

overall it looks good. the rubble looks very good, but i think more of it would look even better. especially around the building where the wall meets the ground. it will help make the scene look a little dirtier. the figs look well done, especially the piping on the shirts. im impressed. nice job!
