Luke i like the setup of your dio,the vehicle is positioned at a angle to the base and the figures all merge together to make a nice setting,there is a lot going on to keep the dio interesting.
If your callsign Luke 1999 is an indication of your age then you are doing a great job

Nice overall composition and effective story telling. Just a small suggestion, perhaps you can give your road a wash to bring out the contrast as it appears a bit flat from the photo. The other is to have a bit of dust similar in color to your road on some of your vehicles. From the pic the halftrack seemed to have a different colored mud splatter.

Good effort.

good composition and it seems you placed the figures in the suitable places.vegetation also looks good. you may add some foot prints or vehicle tracks on the ground.
congrats for the good work

Nice - the feeling is very relaxed. You have pulled that off very well.
I would like to see a bit more 'traffic' on the road surface, more ruts and tire prints.

Very Nice, Luke!
Overall a good looking little scene, nice action, good story...I agree with Scott though on a little more ruts and stuff in the road, but other than that looks good, mate! Keep modeling!

Hello everyone !!! Thanx for the comments, yes I need to place wheels and trackmarks + some washing on the road. I'll repost when done!!!

The soldiers are from Preiser and I must say they are wonderfully sculpted, very natural poses.
