Nice looking cart/ambulance. Would these have been painted, as I grey or something, or would they have been left bare wood?.

Most likely painted when new, but not maintained, good opportunity for flaky paint surface!

I'll probably go for a wooden effect.

Hi Friends.


Here are a couple of mock up pics of the diorama.


There will be a fence by the church, and the cart will also have figures in it.Also there will be a couple more figures around the field kitchen.One of the figures I was going to use by the kitchen has been stolen by my cat and I can't find it anywhere.


Any suggestions to change things will be gladly welcome.

I like this idea a lot Ralph. What on earth does a cat want with a figure? Pets, who would have them.....

Like money out your wallet? A lost remote when eastenders is on? I would keep an eye on the other half blaming the cat too much

do like the idea and placement you have done,


just got to love these moggy,always up to no good when your not watching them,

 

[Guest]

Looking very good so far Ralph!


Anyway....why you don't build a closer street with different levels?


Using stairs and some trees...just looking for a more attractive general view. Create different "worlds" on the diorama that come together nicely and gives a separately sensation of live.


Errr...is only a suggestion

The buildings look great so do the figures and the cart and horses liking what you are doing so far.
