Wow! Looks good to me so far. May be you can tint the road a little. May I ask the materials you used for the grass and the fallen leaves? They are impressive!
Regards.

I think it´s very nice!
The mud looks very good, as do the little trees and the fallen leaves.
The grass looks very convincing, even though it could be toned down a little bit, since you´re obviously doing an autumn dio...
Which vehicles are you going to add? I hope they´ll come out as well as the groundwork
Best wishes, ekke

Erik, you are off to a great start the grasses and fallen leaves lok great. What will you be adding to this in the way of vehicles? I look forward to watching its progress. Cheers Kevin
EDIT: you posted same time as I did. Now I see these tanks and see what appears to be straw or hay in the hatch of one? What is your story line going to be. I'm very intrigued. Cheers Kevin

This is going to be a very nice build. No question.
I like the figures, and the groundwork really looks good.
I'm not sure about the size of the dio, but it looks like the Panther is a bit to big. I mean, with that groundwork it would be a shame to "hide" it with such a big vehicle. Well just my ideas. You're the judge. Still - its a great start.

Well until I got down to your second post, I thought you had a dio of a Panzer crewman looking for the keys to his tank!! Just kidding, it looks great so far, great ground work.

Solid start, I would consider adding in a few "weeds" into the mix of grass. Looking forward to more...

The figures right foot looks like its floating a bit.
There is a seam on the top of the crewmans machine gun. I'd scrape that off.
The smoke is pretty good. Smoke is very hard to model. It tends to scare people away from it, nice job.

Thanks
The smok is made out off stell wool.
I would do something more too the grass, mayby pour some dark dry soil in it.
The dio would be 50*30cm

Erik:
Looks good. I like the panther. Great job on it with the camo. Ground work looks very realistic.
Cant wait to see it done

I guess the straw in the hatch of the abandonded (burnt out?) tank is for some birds? If not, try it, I think it would look awesome :-)

Correct the straw is a bird nest
