Rivet Wars diorama

That's my first diorama ever. Getting the hang of composition might take a while, but I really liked doing it. Pictures aren't perfect, but they probably are the best I can take with a piece that size. All comments are welcome. :)

santacruzsteve: Actually, this composition work pretty good. Trenches are supposed to be small and enclosed. By making the trench the smaller element (going diagonal would make it longer/larger), he's created a sense of claustrophobia, while the wider no-man's-land invokes that hopeless fear of traversing a plain of death. In fact, the smaller it is, the more the viewer feels the sense of being cornered that the lone soldier feels, as he cowers there waiting for the inevitable, death closing in - or steeling his nerve and waiting for a chance to pop up and take his shot. If anything, the trench should be more narrow and cluttered with bits of detritus: crates, cans, barrels, etc., to really emphasize the tight quarters. An outstanding piece. Absolutely love it.
