Hey eerie!

Ah, I see the Panzer Grenadiers are on a muddy Dutch path. The vignette looks nice, but is it possible to make a little sharper picture? I can't see the details in the work. What did you use for groundwork?

Looks good eerie. The way you place your figs. Yup, have to agree with Paul.. you might want to try re-taking a few more pictures of your vignette when you have the time. Oh.. maybe you might decide to glue your figs down onto the base instead of using "bluetac"? Just my 2cents

Ground made from putty, 2 layer. Mud color is made up of brown and orange paint, and green is just dark green

Hey eerie!

Just two things:

1)
Ad Brons, the leader of the Walcheren 44 / Battle of the Scheldt River Campaign, has opened a campaign gallery. Please feel free to post your pictures of your German soldiers there.

This is the link: http://photos.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/14951

2)
The muddy path looks very good to me, but looking at the grass I think you must add more texture in it. It's too obvious 'painted' grass.
You can add some convincing texture in a simple way. Here's a link to Robert Beebe's article about home made ground cover: http://dioramas.armorama.com//features/642
Just give it a try!

And I agree with Ike about the bluetac, perhaps you can cut a bit of it away arround the feets, so it isn't noticeble?
Don't get me wrong: I like the little vignette very much, specially how the soldiers are placed and the mud.
But the grass and the bluetac are 2 little things I know you can do bether...
