Rangers in Somalia

a diorama feature by Pete Becerra, Jr.




COMPLETION:
After pre-positioning the vehicle and figures, I found that the corner opposite the building was bare. I added the fence and small clumps of Woodland Scenic's Tall Grass to that corner. Know the base was ready for the figures and vehicles. I used a clear acrylic rod to support the Little Bird. I drilled a hole threw the top of the roof of the building and on the floor of the building to support the rod. I did not glue the rod down to the building or the base because this made it easier for transportation. Then the Hummer and figures where secured down the base. Final step was a quick inspection for glue marks, glossy spots and other imperfections.
It doesn't take much to put a good diorama together. It all starts with the idea in your head. Draw it on paper, gather your material and get to work.
