Overall, kudos to you just for using such a small scale but fdor getting a good feel for the size of you subject.

I'd consider havingthe turret of the AAV on the overpass facing up  the road, as though in overwatch for the track passing underneath.

The bridge looks pretty good, though a bit untouched, generally there are bullt marks on most concrete surfaces here.

The earth along the roadside is strewn with trash here, as well as with weedy plants, and the rtemains oif guardrails.

Overall, I really like what you are trying to portray, and I can't imagine working in such a small scale.

Wow!  The weathering is subtle, but makes for a much more realistic effect. 

Are you considering some wreckage along the roads?  Even an abandoned but undamaged Iraqi armored vehicle would go a long way to expressing the idea of advancing victoriously.

I really can't imagine working in such a small scale; how long will the diorama be when it's complete?

Smile [:)] Rob, Thanks bro..yeah i considered it, but the scene i depicted was clean of any fighting marks.but its really a great idea..prior in making this diorama, i planned to finished it in 2 weeks..and i made it..but as my friends suggests to add some weathering...it takes 2 hours.
