Nice work. Although my genre is WW2, I thoroughly enjoyed viewing this diorama. The guy suspended on that wall really sets it off.

Well done.

I am sorry I already promised to donate it to my Marine Corps League

If you tell me what they would like, I would gladly make it for them. Most of my dioramas go to different Marine Corps Leagues.

Thank You

Mac

My only comment would be that the opening/damage in the wall is too square. The sides look as if you cut them with a razor saw, in reality they wouldn't be smooth on the edges.

Nicely done, looks very desperate and violent like any good urban diorama should be.

Nice work! Yes It is always a nice break to look at something other than WWII subject. Vietnam War is my second fav subject...

Look like you have been very busy coming with this huge diorama! My only feedback is the wall is too thin for that kind as I have seen most outdoor walls are pretty thick if you want it to be that tall.

Please do not hesitate to post your work here again!
