Hi got another dio here to share. This was also done earlier showing a King Tiger being re-supplied. Everything is Tamiya. Is it too overcrowded? I wanted to give a sense of busy-ness but did it work?

Is this to crowded - hmmm, the KT side is fine, everything works for me.
The motorcycle under the gate doesn't work so well for me. I would think the gate would be down and lifted to let the cycle out.

Technique wise the gate and hut could use a light gray wash. Not a lot, but a bit to show rain or dust from the KT's in the dump.
A personal nit pick would be to take a piece of paper the thickness of the cardboard roof and glue it to the edge to hide the corregation. Or redo the roof and gently peal back one outter layer of the card board to expose the corregation and run it up and down.

I like the fence and barbed wire and the phone lines - nice job.

I like the overall scene. It does capture busy

I love busy. Anyone who has been involved with military operations knows it can go from bored to absolute chaos in seconds. I also like how the commander is off to the side talking while the crew resupplies. The major change I would make is to dirty things up and move the KT a bit further from the gate. Nice work!

Good job. A bit crowded yes, but there must have been situations which were crowded?

Thanks for sharing

I think the telephone (or telegraph) wires ending in mid-air looks a bit awkward. I would have moved the poles to either extreme end of the diarama so there wouldn't have to be any over-hang of the cables.

Busy is good.

I agree that the wires look odd.

I wish your photos were better lit, I'd like to see more of it.
