My first dio in progress. A T34 driving through part of a ruined town. I have the main shell of the "tavern" done. You can find the album here:

Looks like it's coming together good. Did you make the building and street casts or buy them?

Very nice..What are the plans for the rest of it, some infantry maybe?? DId you scribe all those cobblestones and brick?? What did u make the base out of? Looks good so far.

The base is an acrylic picture frame from Michaels. I glued down some foamcore and then slathered on the drywall compound. After many hours of scribing, the roadway was done. The building is foamcore with cork bricks. Each brick is cut from a sheet of cork and glued to the foam core. I'm going to paint the bricks with acrylic gesso to seal them, then start paining and weathering. I may put on some "stucco" but I haven't decided which will look better. It would be a shame to cover up all those hand cut bricks. :-)

I intend to have a ruined tavern when viewed from the back. At this time, I haven't decided about infantry, but maybe at a later date. As I said, my first effort. I still have some scratchbuiding of furniture to do. Some tables, a bed, a dresser etc. More later.

CONGRATULATIONS
EXCELLENT WORK
