For me a diorama must tell a story. An action vignette can be just a mechanic working on an aircraft...but when the serial number or markings scheme is linked to a unique action in history the story unfolds. A diorama can exist without figures but the damage or markings or equipment of the machine must tell a story.

It is better to use figures and show the human condition in war. You link with your audiance. But ask yourself what are you trying to say? Often the two immediate elements that tell your story are the specific action and the title.
