I'm working on a diorama of a King Tiger tank in France during a counterattack on the British, there is a main corner building structure(ruined) with rubble mostly completed at this stage, how ever I was wondering for the interior how could I scratch-build a sink or bathtub/washroom ,...maybe this topic should be in techniques............haven't thought of any method though.........~thnx for any help~

You would have to carve/mold them out of A/B epoxy or the likes.
Or buy Verlinden's complete European bathroom set for about $25.

For scratch building it I see one of two ways right out of the gate.
Take a big block of bass wood and carve it. Add details using some Milliput or bakable clay.
Second method is to use milliput or bakable clay and sculpt it. Bakable clay is something like Skulpy (sculpy?), you mold it and then bake it for a bit till its hard.

Thanks you guys, It helps to ...have help......anyways, Gino: Thnx for the epoxy suggestion, I've used that a couple times but am running low, don't think I'll spend the money on Verlinden,.....Scott: while I vent used miliput yet, I think this might be the direction I'm going for, Frenchy: Thnx for the plus models idea I might consider it, though I'm running on a low budget...... lolz................
