I like it alot!  Nice work! Yes  If there is a room for improvement, I would add lighter tone of brown to some of mud so it won't look too uniformed.  I agree... the tree is my favorite.

If the ground is that 'soft', and if you are not going to display any figures, then I'd at least press in some boot prints here and there too.

Thanks,

You didn't add too much stuff - that part looks good. The only thing that sticks out to me is that the ground is supposed to be so wet that the gun left those deep ruts, yet the men and the ammo is clean as a whistle.

The figures and the mud look GREAT! Yes Overall it is a great diomara... little more mud would be great like the guys have mentioned.

Just an observation, but it just seems that the gun is too exposed. It should be more concealed with foliage or something. Remember, this was an ambush weapon and if a tank came along, the gun could easily be seen...and toasted. Wink

I like the figures.

TIgerman is right, this was, ideally, an ambush weapon. However, I've seen some pics of them operating in pretty exposed positions, so I don't think that is a complete 'show-stopper'.

As far as the mud goes - just take the paint color you used for the mud and hit the troops boots, the edges of their greatcoats, 'mush' a little onto their knees and the lower trouser legs. Do the same on the boxes and other stuff lying on the ground.

Overall, a really good job, by the way. I probably didn't say that as clearly as I should have with my first post, but I do think you did well!

We know it was a tank killer, but did it fire any HE as well?

Yes, much better!  Don't be shy... few more just like beer when nobody stops at first beer. Beer  According to the diomara, more than four shots have been fired so it means more than four trips back forth for the ammo.  This is really looking good! Yes

A variety of HEAT rounds, but no dedicated HE, as far as I know.
