Hello Armorama!

I have just started on my first diorama in years and came up with a problem today. I'm going to add some rubble (stones etc.) from and I wonder how to make it look good. Should i just glue the rubble to the ground with some white glue or is there some other method?

Hope to get some answers!

You can thin white glue with water and drip it over the rubble. You can do it a few times if needed, so the glue is in very thin layers and not a thick glob.

I usually do it this way:
Pour a bit of plaster in the place you want the rubble,
Then add big chunks etc,
Then add some dust, and smaller chunks,
Add more, when needed, and final painting and weathering will really set it off.

Hope that helps, I've been using this method and have achieved great results!

One trick is to build up the underlying rubble with some scrap material, foam, plaster chunks etc. Then use white glue to adhere the 'good rubble' to that.

Follow up - color the material before you put it in place. Paint all the nooks and cranies of the filler before you glue that down. Then paint the rubble before gluing it down too.

Hi Henrik,
A great reference for rubble and the basics of how to achieve such a scene can be seen here :

Good luck,
Shay

Thanks for all the help! I will post some pics of the dio when I have made some more progress!
