Cromwell Mk IV scene, just about done.

Andrew,

Is this one of your first diorama's? The first thing I can say is that, composition-wise, you might have been better off to have positioned your elements at more oblique angles; i.e., not "square" on the board that serves as your base. Also, try to cut down on  the amount of excessive open space--even though you may have more soldiers to put in yet, they should only support the main focal point, which is the tank.

The cobblestone road looks funny--it's "outlined" by the stones, but does not appear to be at all "traveled". Fill up the roadway with dirt, to better simulate a true "road".

Take a look at the positioning of other dioramas, and the efficient use of space on most of them. I think that that will pay big dividends for your next one. It's not bad for a starter, but could be much improved upon with a little research and redesign. I do have to say that the building turned out nicely.

Doog,

thanks for the advice, I do appreciate it.  I've 'wooded in' a little more of that open space, and will play a bit at the open space between the stones.  With the road, I was aiming for overgrown areas where tracks would not have run, hence only the track stones exposed.  Next time, I'll look at the oblique angles.
