Groundwork looks good, can't see anything that wrong.

Maybe a little more wood scattered about. Other than that it looks pretty good to me. "Q"

The building looks good as does the groundwork especially the road.
I have two things to recommend,
1 Add more rubble and general building debris, at the moment with the amount of rubble that is there it looks like someone has blown up his brick barbeque.
2 Get the colour of the bricks in the rubble to match the damaged portion in the wall for continuity (I think I would repaint the walls to match the rubble as its probaly easier).
Good luck and show us more.
Cheers

I like the whole idea,very nice.well done .I think if you apply airbrush stroke downwards especialy at the wall surface,its can give more effect.

Abit of black wash here and there than use dry brush technique to bring the detail out.

Honestly, its look awesome to me bro:)

Hi ziggy

its a very good start to your diorama and i look forward to seeing it progress.

as said above there are a couple of points you may need to have a look at

first of all the building is a good starter building, but the manufacturer designed it to fit into a corner, as you have situated it away from the corner, ideally you need to fill in the gaps i.e. the walls need to be extended so that reach the edges of your base.

There need to be more rubble, destroyed houses create lots of debris, and you will need to show this.

do a quick google and take a look at real destroyed houses, to get an idea





also have a look through the diorama features section as there is a whole load of good articles on diorama building

look forward to seeing this progress

cheers
