Wonderful diorama once again. lots of action, lots of detail.

The green glazed tiles on the stove look fabulous and I love all the reminders of peoples former lives dotted around. The kids toys lying in the rubble are a poignant touch.

But, I think the French tanker stopping for a chat with the garden gnome needs to sort out his priorities.

Good done. But you should not paint eyes in 1/72. It disturbs the whole image. A dark shadow is enough. 1/72 means to see a person from roundabout 10m. There are no details of face, only structures.

Or if you are going to paint the eyes, make them far smaller blobs of paint and 90% are the dark part of the eye (pupil) and you only see the whites a tiny bit around the edges.

But the main thing is, great job on this dio and I love how you have used it to tell a story. What happened to the French tanks being used to barricade the street? Run out of fuel and ammunition because the Germans cut off their lines of supply?

Right. :-D
The roadblock of tanks who run out of fuel was the idea for the machine (maginot) wall, line.

Excellent diorama! I also agree that the MAC gun kit is horrible!
