Thanks guys.
These comments are all very welcome.
I don't have any master plan when it comes to composition - but I'm trying to avoid too many figures standing round doing nothing (OK, the dead guy has an excuse) and it may be that the priest and infantryman (he's actually a sniper) are both doing their best to 'out-mood' each other!
But I've got the guy driving the carrier giving a jaunty wave to either the priest or the
bella donna - and her smile in return - plus the two guys (captive and guard) marching off to the left. Then I have the partisan enjoying the taste of victory whilst a young officer next to him looks back at the carnage with a slightly less jubilant look.
I'm hoping that, once they are all in place, there will be enough of a story for anyone who cares to project it on to the diorama...
Meanwhile, here are a few shots of the Stug in its latest stage before it joined the scene...
There's still a little bit of touching up to be done - and the road wheels are 'floating' because that is how it will sit on the base.
