The interior looks very good! Place the camera on "eye-height" and that would be a "real" photo.
Great work so far!

greetings...

Nice job on the building but the Figures in this scale.

Well some are better then others.

Have you tried a Resin Head from the Guy in England.

Painted as the same for a smaller figure gives it life I think.

Hate to say it as I also just started this scale the figures lack life unless weathered.

Good job on the building though.

As you can tell the diorama is still in the making...as for the figure...it is an older Dragon model and is used for reference only...I already have newer figures waiting to be installed which will be more life like...and more suitable for the viewers...thanks for the comment

Just wanted to thank all the viewers for their comments and praise. This project has taken a lot longer than expected. Money is always an issue but the countless hours spent not only building a model of this size but to research and find items suitable to this scale. Not everything is available in the stores so scratchbuilding is a necessity. Once this model is finished, I already made plans for a 1/6 scale church with complete exterior/interior and graveyard which will involve german paratroopers. Now what do I do for space?

Hi Kimmo,

Thanks for your comment. How's Finland? My mother was from Haugesund, Norway. I hope I spelt that right. Anyhow, the model is going well. I'm working on the bathroom, communications area and stairwell right now. If you didn't know, the model has lighting. I hope to finish this model this year so I can start another one.

That Dragon figure can't keep up with your diorama's realism. It looks like a giant doll placed inside of a real house.

I agree with you ref the dragon figure. I use it only for scale reference. I have a variety of figures I have been collecting over the years that will be used in the diorama that have better detail.
