Judge 1Very nice little scene what we can see here. The composition is good, there is a lower foreground and the greenery leads our eyes up to the Firefly. The StuG is a nice model, contruction is very nice, only the bended armor plate is a bit thick. The colors are very spectacular, and the burned effects seem's to be pretty good as well. As far as I see this vehicle was left there from a former battle. The Firefly look's also good, only a bit deeper contrast would be useful. The greenery is the highlight of the dio, the reed and the sedge is perfect. The water is always a good way to make something interesting, but in this case the only thing what is not interesting is the water. I thing this is the part of the composition what you still could improve. Overall it's a very nice sceen with great models and nice composition!

Quite effective composition of your work tells us a story from every angle of view. Another strong point of your diorama is different elevation of terrain that gives your work extra visual depth. Combination of a tank moving strictly parallel the stand and an assault gun placed diagonally is a good idea as well. Terrain looks natural. I like vegetation and water, though water is too still in my opinion. Both vehicles are nicely painted. Firefly shows us how interesting and rich coloration of single-color camo can be. I also like moderate chipping and wash. Burned out Stug is painted on the same high level as the tank, but in terms of detailing it raises some questions. It would be logical for a vehicle that suffered internal explosion to have all hatches open and to have some stuff (parts of stowage, fenders, etc.) lying around. Anyway, you did a very good effort on this scene.

A very simple yet effective diorama; the vehicles that are the focus of the scene are quite beautifully painted and weathered, the damage to and burnt appearance of the StuG being particularly well done. Your groundwork is equally well handled and in combination with the excellent foliage provide an extremely realistic setting for your models. As has been noted elsewhwere, your water is extremely tranquil and is possibly the least convincing area of the scene, however that being said, it is still very neatly done. All in all, an excellent diorama.
