So far two vehicles are close to being done, might be two more the Sherman and maybe a cargo truck. I'm not in a race to finish so this will take a little time and enjoyment as well.
Update: in bold is the link to each area.
Hobby Boss M3A1 White Scout Car Early
RFM M4A3 76W HVSS Sherman with full interior
Weathering testing on a Hobby Boss White Scout Car (Late)

Up in the air about using, they will still be weathered at the same time as the rest to complete them (just may not be used in the diorama)
Tamiya M3A1 Scout Car
Tamiya US M8 Greyhound Combat Patrol

I'm rethinking and removing the idea of a "supply depot" and leaning toward a "repair depot" 
this will add

HBB00082451 3 l
05 19 2018 07

and the Sherman can then have the engine deck open and the above White scout car can have it's hood (bonet) open.

Thoughts?

How many vehicles will you have in the dio?

This sounds very interesting.

What company made the other Scout car? And which was the easier build? Just curious.

@harold-adams
It's Hobby Boss early version (picture above) and this one below is Hobby Boss later version and it was nowhere near as simple and error free like the Tamiya White scout car.

 But I'm hoping it won't be so fucking bad this time around now knowing what to look for. The reason I'm getting this is because I can build it as being repaired as it has a engine and the bonet can be opened.

Now I'm debating on the line up, so the two that for sure will be in this is the Sherman and White scout car. 
Thinking about removing the Tamiya White scout car and maybe the greyhound and going with either or both

 or 

M31 03

 or both on the diorama

 feel free to post your thoughts

Hows the construction on the RFM Sherman?

For the figures, what do you have in mind?

Also I was on the M& Models website and they had something that would be a nice addition to your diorama; Here's a pic.

I have stopped on the tank while I build the White scout car, and working on it's stowage as well. But will have to get the rails around the inside before I can fully see what will be used. Also I have that and built one of them already and also got two more kits for this diorama.
