well, overall its an excellent work so far!!!
i like it a lot, small and simple!
just 2 ideas, one is adding one more crewman in front hatch (if you can open it) to add a bit more "life" to scene since its a big tank.
second, i would point the gun on the other side, you pointed its barrel to "right" and officer is looking on the "left" i think pointing the gun a little on the same side will make a more dramatic "feeling" this way its pointed now i feel like i dunno if i should ciontinue looking in barrel direction or in officers way of looking.
but its just my suggestions

Well those pics are mostly of the tank. There is not much of the dio. I see what appears to be a great looking tree. It looks like the limited views of the mud does appear to be wet and muddy. I think a few overall shots would help in making an evaluation of the dio.

Karl, I like it a lot so far...

The mud on the tracks and the groundwork look very good so far, eventhough u are not done yet...U did achieve the look of 'weight' on the Tiger....Probably u can add some foot soldiers along the Tiger..

I like it , that Mud looks like er Mud, no it looks great i would be a bit sparing with the wet look and try for a contrast of old dryed and new wet mud IMHO that is, other than that its a great looking cat like tosee the Dio when its finished.

Hi Karl, I think it looks very good the way it is now. As for your mud i would stay away from future for making it look wetter. My point with this is when have you ever seen shiny mud? Mud only gets darker than the surrounding dirt so I would try making the wet mud a darker color. Excellent work so far!!! Cheers Kevin

It's looking good so far karl!! Very nice dio.. go with the "wet" mud idea.! It'll turn out great.! The grass looks great too.. but I just found it a little "straight at the edges". But very nice overall..
Looking forward to somemore progress of that Tiger.

The Tiger looks awesome Karl. The groundwork looks great as well. I would keep the mud as it is. No future.

Hey nicely done. I noticed you avoided painting the figurine.....any plans to add more figurines to it to give the dio more character?
