Hi Wayne,
You're the master of "bridges in Ardennes" scenes. The background works perfectly. Well done!

That setup looks great! The Panzer 38T is one of my favorite WWII German tanks, even though its technically not a German design. I’ve read some analysis that without the Czech-built Panzer 38Ts supplementing the available German armored vehicles in May-June 1940 (most of which were the Panzer I and II light tanks) the Germans might not have succeeded in winning the Battle of France...

Dear Wayne,
This is a great diorama with a fantastic background. So far all is correct.
But all bridges ( certainly for cars and pedestrians) in the Ardennes and especially in the 1940's were made of local stone . This looks more like a railway bridge.
In Holland and Flanders however bridges were mostly made of steel ( flat country ,lack of hills and rock country and therefore lack of quarries).
Maybe a better title would be " Through the low countries" ( please google "Bridges over the Meuse river in Holland" and compare with the Bridges over the rivers running through the Ardennes in Belgium)
I hope I do not upset you with these comments

Wayne,
Lots of parts to put together: the bridge, background, water and figures. All of them are placed very realistically.

Yes I am 100 % depicting a railway bridge. Agree pedestrian bridges are not built this way !
Lets just call this scene...western Europe {sm4}
