1/24 Scratch build building & Diorama base

[tiking]

The material used here are form board through out the entire diorama. The asphalt is represented by fine grade sand paper. The sidewalk is foamboard painted with a concrete color mix, I had mixed at my local paint store. I used the same paint mix on the concrete portion of the building then used a damp sponge with a mixture of brown and concrete color to blend the colors together to get the brownish look on the building. The corrugated reddish and grey colors are paper bought from a store in England. The sign was printed on paper from logos I found on the net.

That is what I love about this hobby, you have just built a building that could be on any street anywhere in the world and it looks great, your eye for detail is superb, that manhole cover on the tilt...how many of them have I come across in life. Many.
