I'll wait on color to comment on the base, looks pretty good to now.
I'd add more burlap to the barrel. Right now it looks like camo gone neglected.
Whats going in the empty space at the front of the bolders?

How about both German figures AND a knocked out AT gun? Little scavanger hunt going on as they move forward. Just make sure you do your homework on the plant life and existance of suck rock outcrops

Bus,

I really like your diorama. The rock outcrop looks great and the weathering on the tank is particularly nice...very sublte. Did you use a mold for the rock or carve it yourself?

looking good so far bus. the elefant is nice. the rock looks good as well. in my opinion, you may want to add some medium size rocks around the big one, so it blends better with the scene, so it doesnt look like a huge rock just landed in a field or something. at this stage its tough to tell if it will look awkward, but thats only a suggestion. keep up the good work!

Antonio, Slodders suggestion is a good one. I think you have plenty of room. have some russian gear strewn around the knocked out weapon. will give the germans something to be rummaging through. Keep us posted. Cheers Kevin
