Hi guys!
I strongly need an advise on my diorama. To be precise I`d like to know how to locate a technician better. (He`s calling personnel to have a look on the non-exploded bomb)

The pose looks a bit awkward for someone who's beckoning for help with a bomb. The angle of his head makes him appear to be looking under or around something. Maybe if he was located behind the tail with the raised hand on the A/C peering around the tail at the bomb?

He just isn't posed right to be free standing. Perhaps a figure that is holding both hands up to his mouth as if to be yelling to someone in the distance?

My first inclination would be to run in the opposite direction!

Whatever you decide, please show more photos. This is a cool dio.

Cheers
Charles

in reality they would give it a wide berth !! move the aircraft first as it would be a valuable asset

then if no buildings were around they would probably blow it up in situ rather than risk life

then fill the hole afterwards

i would personaly go for the less is more aproach and have no figure !!

The best thing to do would be to turn inwards to be facing in towards the model- as if calling past the wing. Right now he's leading our eyes out and away from the diorama- have him lead us back to focus on the plane. I like it- but "Gans"? An American would write "Hans" or "Jerry" or something like that- unless I'm missing the point here!

Cheers!
