Dan, this is one excellent first diorama....

Great paint job on the Panther and it makes a change to see some autumn tints!

I especially like the finish you have on the road. Often roads are left squeaky clean, with no rubble or muck. You have it spot on and the inclusion of the track marks is a nice touch, something that can be easily forgotten.

Nice pictures, number 15 has it for me.

Well done.

If this is your first diorama I wonder what you will be doing in a few years time? Great work and a really good eye on what things would look like in reality. The finish on the tank is well done with some nice fading and the tracks look particularly realistic.

The base and foliage look very realistic as well and enhance the model rather than detract from it so very well thought out. One suggestion would be to vary the colours and tone in the foliage as it is one solid colour at the moment so maybe just some shades and highlights would bring it to life a little bit more.
