You are right Ed, adding the color will bring it alive. I'm struggling with the shooter now trying to get his clothing and accessories just right. I like his stance and his placement in the scene but now getting his kit together and making sure his clothing is appropriate and getting all that worked out is critical for the end result. The shooter's identity isn't critical but everything else is.
The end result and what makes it successful is the amount of donations it brings to Twin Oaks and the Tenn. Classic on the raffle table. I've been amazed just how much my other dioramas or whatever they are called have contributed to the Classic.
