Great job, Pedro, everything looks great, love the 250, and a great job on the figs. The dead tree in the street is a great touch, well executed. The layout of the figures in relation to the scene is perfect, you've done a great job here!

The cobblestones is a diorama base from Toromodels - I was looking at using it too :)

Thanks,Umustb and Gringe88 for your encouraging and nice words.The base with the the cobblestones has coming in white ceramic finish,like Dsotn has shown,I have use enamel paint and pastel to give a realistic look,and after some clay debris.
I am glad that you both like it
Thanks a lot for your comments

Looks good. I was wondering though what you used for the "tarp" over the front of the 250?? Interesting piece!

Thanks Smokinprice, what I use as a camouflage net,is medical gaze,I don`t know how to say in english, but it`s that stuff we put on a wound, but in green color.

such a nice scene. Only the camouflage net does not look natural. Too bright color I think and the ends would be close to the shape of the car instead of "flying" in the air ;-)

Apart from that its great.

I heard about making realistic camouflage nets by soaking the net in thinned white glue, then put it on the car, model the cuttling, then white glue again and cover it with some kitchen herbs or other green material. Dry brush after. Should make it look more like a real camo net.

general assembly and paint l ook okay. The figures are well posed and create a good focal point to the dio. Their poses, however, are kind of relaxed for the implicatio of the title, an enemy fighter plane bearing downon them. .
Two things haven't been mentioned.
You have silvering in the cross (more noteable) and in the "402".
Second, the panzerfausts. I don't think I'd want to place real ones like that. All the weight is at the top, the slightest bump will cause them to fall over. I don't know how stabel those things were, but I certainly wouldn't want to fiind out the hard way!
You've done a good job of painting the base, but I'm not getting the lay of the cobble stones. In the foreground, there's a quick little incline, almost like a wheelchair ramp but then there's this fall off that looks like an earthquake just shifted the whole road.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Stukabomb88 and Ajlafleche,thanks a lot for giving me your opinion,I appreciate a lot.
About the silvering ,I put a lot of micro sol and micro set,but the result it`s what you see,could be better,about the panzerfausts that is a good point, I never saw pictures how do they put it,up side down,upwards.I think it was standing ,but perhaps not.
If someone has a picture how they handle the panzer I appreciate.
Thanks a lot again for your input

Pedro, you have natural talent. Very well executed diorama. You have a future in armor building.
