these are the first pics from my first ever scratch building in my first dio, i have now plastered and painted this building and will post the pics asap. Please help me out on what i need to do to make it better.

The building is made from foam card, i designed the building my self and cut it with a craft knife, i intend to add a fallen floor inside the structure and also rubble to simulate the distruction. The building is set in mogadishu and i am planning to have militia and us rangers around, as well as 2 hummers and a black hawk. This is one of 5 buildings i am to build so any feedback would be great. Thanks for your help in advance. Chris

Keep us posted. I think this is going to be really neat. I have never worked with the foam board but since everyone else is I guess I'm gonna have to try it...

Looking good CJ. What did you plaster the foam board with? Did u have any problems getting it to stick on the board? The 2 story building looks especially nice. This is going to be a huge project for you, good luck on the rest of it!

i used plaster of paris and it stuck great, cheers for al lthe support people

Looks like you are off to a good start for your first scratchbuilt building. I scratched my first building for the winter diorama campaign. It's not as hard as you'd think and it opens so many opportunities to you to make exactly what you need. Keep us posted on the progress.
