Hey Brother Phil,

Luv the building bro, cant wait to see that bad boy go together.

Thanks mate.the diorama is starting to take form.
Update soon

small update on the diorama...my first dio with buildings we'll see how it goes!

first I had to make a sidewalk based on polish city of tarnopol

Made it about 1 1/2 feet larger than the balcony. I've used a old styrene sign that I took from where I work



Glued 2 pieces together waited till it cured and scored the sidewalk as it would have been of stone or concrete.... just kept the feel of the era.



then carved the back edge to fit the contour of the miniart building.





I seriously need some feedback since I feel i'm improvising on this dio thing

Phil.

Phil the slaps seem very large as they would be about 6'6'' square judging by the size of the door which would be a pain to lay, otherwise I like where you are going.

Yes indeed they are big...concrete sidewalk it'll be hehe...Maybe I'l carve a tile pattern but, I haven't found any that please me. If someone has pics, please do share!

I've primed the base of the diorama to see where I need to patch the infamous miniart joints...starting to look like something.



So?

Phil.

Phil I am not sure that concrete paving was common or even used during WW2.

I'm trying to find some good pics...seems that I goot a lot of carving ahead of me! I really need to find a sidewalk pattern!

One of the stock plastic manufacturers sells A3 sheets of paving, brickwork, and road surfaces, however I cannot remember which one it is. I think it was evergreen but as I said I can't remember for sure.

After staring at numerous fuzzy pics of polish sidewalk of the 40's they seem to be uniform on the inside. no separation.

Yep! I'm gonna get those groove filled And replicate the box art .
