Outstanding Diorama


A typicle bomb-out farm-building taken over by a German 80mm tank crew!
I copied this dio from Twenot, with a different variation!

Own Newspapers


These example are available on the Internet and when you import them into certain Graphic programs, like Coreldraw, it is possible to re-size them to 1/35th scale, print it out to be added to a diorama. I found supply boxes layouts, maps, flags, insignia, medical boxes and even adverts from France, Holland, Germany from the 1930's to 1940's etc. thatmay be added to burn/bomb out buildings! From these 'templates' I made my own boxes and other stuff! Even documents from the Nazis, passes, etc were found and converted for use in my dioramas! Once you start with scale modelling and surf the internet to look at other modellers' dios a whole new world opens up!

Armor


This is an example of a WW 2 Troop panzered transporter.
I assempled this kit and enjoyed weathering it with tealeaves mixed with red/brown/vanilla paint to similate rust and mud! The figures are relaxed and busy cleaning rifles or reading old newspapers!
