Distraction: Greta's Revenge

The Interior

The floor in my ruin was made with Balsa wood just cut the strips in two long strips and cut these in the length that you want your floor planks to be. Glue them onto your floor. The table was made with cardboard and matchsticks. Take a matchstick and cut it in the length then cut it to size and stick it under the cardboard tabletop. The Lenin picture was found on the internet and I made a picture frame of matchsticks that I also cut in the length and then to size to match the picture. Painted that black. And burned the picture with a lighter. There is also a small floor section visible that came from the floor above. This was also made with balsawood.

The window post was made with an Ice-cream stick and I put against the window frame. Under the window post I made some sort of ornament out of three long toothpicks that were a bit narrower then the window post. On the inside of the building I made the debris in the same way as I did with the debris outside the building (see 10. debris). And I painted it in the same way too (see 11. painting the debris) I first gave all the non-foam parts and the wallpaper a very thick black wash and then a very thick black dry brush to get the scorched interior effect.

Greta

Greta is another main character in my dio she is a mannequin. I made her of the extremely versatile Styrofoam I cutout a square of it and then filed a mannequin out of it. Painted it in khaki drill the tarp was made out of a piece of toilet paper made wet folded a couple of times and glued it onto the doll.

A German helmet with a couple of puncture holes to simulate bullet holes for the finish of Greta. The puncture holes were made with a heated needle just push it into the helmet and while the needle is still hot just turn it a couple of times then pull it out Painted it in silver color. ASAT (fig. 26, 27, 28).

Weather forecast… Snow

Finally my third problem and my third challenge…Snow never have done anything with that in a dio. Oh well a couple of tests on an old Tiger tank but that’s all. So I show you the way that I have made my snow.

Things you need:
- A bottle of baby powder.
- A spray can hairspray.

First sprinkle the baby powder on your dio just like normal snow would fall. After you have done this spray your hairspray over it not to close or you will blow all of your “snow” off. You might repeat these two steps a couple of times till you get the effect or layer snow that you want. (Fig. 29, 30, 31).
