Basic building and painting are good and the scenerey is very well done.
I agree with the comments on the too casual figures, especailly the guy with his rifle at port arms. With that much fire, he'd be doing a runing crouch to the sea wall as would the kneeling guy.
The tank has left no tracks in the beach and , I believe, these vehicles had wading snorkles or the exhaust.
Your wave effects look under scale, The white water of the breakers look way to narrow and it looks like we're seeing them from an airplane, I know water isn't easy. but even walking, a man will leave a wake in water.

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

Nicely done. I'd have to agree with Zouave146, the figures in the water look a little to casual for hitting a beach. The trees look awesome, as does the beach. All in all, this is a well done project. What kits did you use? Any tips you can share on the palm trees and the seawall? Thanks for giving us a look.
A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

Looking good. My only quibble is that the figures look a bit relaxed, like they were out on a stroll rather than hitting a beach. Everything else is top notch. Chuck
