| It's looking good so far - What you might want to do though - Gamesworkshop sell something which you can use to represent grass - it's like a fine hair - can be used to build up a bit more vegetation and make for a bit more interest. Also there's a basing material which looks like tiny scale leaves - I think it's actually a type of dried herb but is sold for modellers - it can be used around the vegetation to represent a bit of leaf mould. Get some different colour scatter materials and break up the green a bit too.
I'd use some small chunks of cork or even stone to add a few little rocks protruding from the ground...just to break it up a bit, also I'd think of using a different colour scatter material on the path to add variety, maybe have some smoother areas too that would give the impression that some parts have been wet and then dried out into a hard packed surface. Also think about making some hollows and filling with the water clear resin for some puddles.
It's a good idea to get some old tank tracks and then push them into wet plaster or modelling putty to make it look like tank tracks, if you slide them around as the plaster is wet so it makes a ridge at the edge it'll look like the tank was skid steering in the mod and churned it up!
Lastly I'd consider exactly where the tanks are going to go and then sink them in the ground and build up the diorama around them - when driving on soft ground you can barely see the tracks of a tank. Nothing destroys the impression of realism like a tank which doesn't seem to be fixed to the ground!
How about some little fences or sign posts in one of the corners, or an old dry stone wall, perhaps it's broken and falling down. If you add little details like that in a corner it helps the composition and makes you think there is a surrounding area next to the part you've modelled.
Anyhow just a few suggestions - keep up the good work and of course welcome to the forums! Hope you get a lot of hints and tips here to help develop your modelling , so far it's looking good!
