well it is a big dio for sure !!!!!
If thats your second attempt in a dio i think u have carried out very well ( without meaning that i am fully ok with the blood issue the way is modelled). But it involves multiple items figures, vehicles, buildings, urban setting, animal , and there is a nice complex of all this in an unusual choice of a long rather than square dio base.
My nit picks go to improve your painting in specific detail points , like thebelly of the horse , the water fountain , figures, and also pay some attention to details like the camo net that seems just unfolded and attached 3 minutes ago. Need more softening and weathering to get a more natural look.

I believe u have the skills to do big thinks and since u already attempted a big dio like that , u have the nerve to move on.

My advice would be to go back in smaller scenes, perfectize your skills in these, without having the agony of doing all this work that involved in a huge dio , and then proceed in size enlarging .

Rima,

Excellent attempt with controversial topic ... a bleeding soldier and a dead horse ... blood in a diorama is a touchy and delicate subject with many ... I believe it has a place asalong as it isn't gratuitous ... I think you did a fine job.

Rima,

When I saw the first pictures, I thought the diorama was only about a dead and bloody horse... Although I find death and blood normal in a diorama about war, I think there has to be limits to that. And so I did not like the thing your picture had shown me.

Then I saw your overall picture, which is a marvellous work. The horse is just a small part of a huge diorama, but a spot that attracts attention.

So, as an overall look, it is quite good to me, and the scale of blood and death does not hurt me in the overall design. Just a little more care about painting th figures would add, but hey! this is your second diorama, and a good work!

Keep it up.
Cagin.
