Hello
Produces one new diorama, but I think it is missing something. Perhaps a passenger car beneath the balcony.
The history is autumn 1944, Somewhere in Belgium or southern Holland in connection with operation market garden the allied advance forward and staffs, administrations etc. draws back.
You are welcome to come with proposals and views.

It is little funny effects on the photos, as that the house sees out to last up in the air but it is only on the photos.

Your structures are wery nicely made, the general layout is good, but I have to agree with you, that the corne below the balcony is a little too bare - maybe a staffcar is to big, try a motorcycle or an oildrum used to burn paper and documents before the withdrawal.

Other things to look out for is that your house sits on top of the paving, maybe try to make the connection more fluent, and and some debris like leaves, weeds, dirt etc. its looks too clean.

A little more dirt on the house etc. would make it look a little more used - its a bit too clean and orderly for a hasty withdrawal.

Cheers

Very nice! I hope my first dio comes out as well!

I agree that something is missing, but I'm not sure what it is... maybe a staff car or motorbike / sidecar on the road?

Also, how did you do the cobbles, both construction and painting?

Cheers,
Ian

I like the overall piece very much. I also think maybe a staff car or motorcycle would fit right in.

Hi Ian S

I used this link, and followed it basically

http://hfmodeling.kitmaker.net//features/1268

The cobblestone I done is 3 x 6mm for they rectangular and 4 x 4mm for they others. The painting did I as described, but weathering did I with pigment powder (in different brown shades) that I applied with a dry brush and late painted I with clean waters, a lot of waters.

Thanks Jan

I think the idea with a oildrum used to burn paper and documents before the withdrawal is great.
It is dirtier in the reality than on the pictures, but little leaf and other loose objects are a good idea.

Overall nicely done. I agree the corner need something, another Opel or staff car would support the officers.
The court yard could hide another entire diroama story in itself, a civilian sneaking a peek or a child playing with a dog.
The building is very well done, you've captured an urban high rise very well
Thanks for sharing.

Add a set of motorcylces and a staff car to make it more complete. Very nice job.

Love the vines and the cobblestone.

This space needs filling, could use a motorcyle like others suggested.

Gday Per
You have achieved an interesting scene here mate. I echo a few thoughts above, such as filling the gap under the building, and a few odds and ends floating about and that space under the balcony...
Nice use of the Tamiya loader in the back of the truck!
Good detail on the downpipe on the building. I would open up the door to the courtyard almost fully, and as Scott said it could be an area that could use something else...
At the very least some fuel drums stacked against the walls at the internal corner?
Some weeds could be added at the base of the wall on the outside of the courtyard maybe?
I would tighten the thread attached to the bucket in the well. Some weight and some wood glue should do the trick...
Great stuff though, and I think it has plenty of potential.
Cheers

Overall looks good, lots of work done to support this. Hope my first diorama comes out half as good as the one you've depicted here.

Concur with a few of the other comments, may need some more "stuff" added to fill the scarce areas...

Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
