Pretty interesting putting that bridge in there.  Sort of puts everything in a place and it's another way to show off the scale of the project.  Cool.

One more thing....

I can't tell from your pictures in the tank, but it's sometimes really bad form to put dead people in dioramas.  If you don't have any, that's cool.  Just a note for the masses.

I don't think it's bad form at all. If you eliminate this aspect of war there is not point in depicting it at all. In war, people die.

The dio looks pretty cool. Very tiny.

Tankmaster7 --  I would typically agree with you.  If you're modelling war, show everything.  I'm just going on some of the dioramas I've seen at competitions and some of the reactions other people gave.  If done in good taste, it's fine.  But sometimes, people like to add too much blood or death or whatever.  It's hard to do model it just right, and some people go a little overboard.
