rob1957 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hello everyone . Here is a diorama that we just completed after a few months work . The truck was previously posted in Trucks thread . Diorama base is a cheap picture frame which we modified , felt is applied on bottom to prevent scratching . Plaster on bldg. is tile grout with some pigment . Potting soil mixed with water/PVA glue is ground . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob1957 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Our camera isn't the best . Sorry for blurry pictures . Tiles on roof and eavestrough are A&W paper drinking straws cut and painted . Our grenade thrower in back of truck was placed there due to lack of space .

rob1957 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Woodland Scenics turf material and undergrowth for foliage . Soldiers are ICM kits . Nice products to work with. Planning the layout was tricky , it evolved over time until a final scene was decided on . With Covid lockdown here in our province this provided hours of enjoyment to build.

Anglia105E Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Nicely done diorama, Rob...... and I agree that those ICM figures are good to work with. Once assembled and painted, the ICM figures are always realistic, so I have used them a lot in my diorama settings. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob1957 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Thanks for feedback David . Dimensions for diorama are 140mm x 190mm and roughly 100mm height . Rather difficult to find British/CDN soldiers to build , either WW1 or WW2. Dragon , which has a nice product line , offers mostly German WW2 . The ICM Ford truck is a very kit to build , excellent fit up and details . We have never built any MENG kits , but I hear they are quite nice . Some day might we might build some armour .

bisc63 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 This does what a diorama should, it packs a lot of information in a small footprint. I really like what you've done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
