Great diorama. Wonderful style. I'd love to see more. The thing that strikes me most is the composition of the piece. The color of the church brings attention to it, the size and scale of the church brings attention to the middle and then down to the 88. Very nice.

NIce work, and lots of long hours! My one nitpick is the use of Army splinter camo zeltbahn alongside SS camo.Unlikely one would see army camo used by SS troops, possible but unlikely.... I'm sure someone has some photos out there to prove me wrong. My sources are Uniforms of the Waffen SS by Michael Beaver, Vol 3. - Camouflage.
Otherwise a real labour of love, looking for ward to see the next one.

Very well done. Impressive diorama.

If you could share a overall shot of the whole diorama I would love to see it.

Agree on the above - I also think the sniper is kind of out of place.

Considering the range of an 88 mm gun, the sniper wouldn't even be able to see his target, most likely.

Wow, this one is amazing. I wish there was a picture showing the whole thing so I could put things in focus. My only one ultra minor insignificant nitpick is the figures appear to clean. The camo is great, but they look as if they just did laundry LOL Again, wonderful dio.
