discussion Ralph's first real diorama (Untitled)

[Guest]

Hi Friends.


Well here I go,my first attempt at a proper diorama.


There will be about 23 figures on this (more may be added).


This is going to take me a while and is going to be weird for me as I will be working on more than one kit at a time.


I've already started work on the 2 buildings and will be starting on the figures also.


I won't be taking too many pics,probably as I finish each piece.


I have the basis of an idea and it will probably change as I go along so any Idea's thrown at me will be considered.


All the best.


Ralph.


These are the kits I will be using.

Hi friends


I've got the field kitchen and a few figures ready for painting.


I've also been working on the buildings.This is my first time with Miniart buildings and I have too say I think they are utter crap.Some of the parts were so brittle that they shattered,however I have persevered with them and after quite a bit of work on them this how they look at the moment.

I did find them really time consuming kits myself but the end results are worth the pain.


Looking good so far Ralph and Iooking forward to how you make all these sets gel together

Thanks for the nice comments Guys.


I don't have a problem with the detail or the work that is needed to get them looking ok.


The problem I have is with the brittleness of parts of the plastic.


I do feel sorry for anyone with limited modelling skills if they were to approach one of these kits.


But then again we all have to learn somewhere.


Would I buy another? I'll have to see

all looking very good Ralph,nice start to all,


a job well done on the building and like how you have made the roofs,as they do look better,


what I do real like is the brick work on them,
