dj prest Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) after a long gap of 20 years slowly getting back into modelling, i used to do ww2 stuff but im liking the look of more modern dioramas with lots of companys releasing newer stuff anyway here is what im basing the diorama on well the very left hand corner im trying to this on the cheap!! so a scratch build so far the base has been cut to size and shaped and given a coating of plastic padding which will need a quick sand before i apply jointing plaster,also one doorway cut out now i just need to shape the wall and add another doorway.also the render has been removed to suit the base and wall is 300mm plastic soffit board which is strong but quite soft underneath the wall is not fixed yet just testing! the double door is made and finished matchsticks,cardboard and wire for the handles which need a bit of tidying around no vehicles to be added just a simple street scene, so i have asked for these for my birthday its different and im enjoying it will update as i progress thanks for looking Edited May 15, 2011 by dj prest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj prest Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 well finally an update!!! got the figures yesterday my gf got me the Black Dog US Special Forces,but unfortunately i never received the afghanistan women set as my brother never got the email! oh well the black dog figures are very detailed but a bit of flash and some air holes are evident but nothing major,also the weapons are very fragile. these are the first figures i have painted in 20 years and as they are special forces anything goes 'uniform' wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
