Hello mates.
I am Rasto from Slovakia and joined this forum only today. I am working on my first diorama - PanzerMeyer, LSSAH (Mariupol, 1941) which was my birthday gift.



It took me quite longer cos I was able to work on it only during some weekends. Here are the pics of all figures which I finished today.






The diorama will be inspired by boxart, the street fragmet with ruin of house (all homemade with cardboard and cork).
Any commets or advices are appreciated cos I know there is much to improve.

Nice start Rasto,those cam jackets look great mate nice work, can not wait to see how you do the card board and cork,that is some thing i am wondering about doing next, rather than buy a dio kit and saving some cash.

Thank you very much guys for comments. I have to admitt that I am satisfied a bit with the work I've done. Those figures look better in real than on photos.
Long time ago I tried to built and paint some figures but they don't look good to me. They need to be re-paint.
This dio is my first serious and I just wonder how it will end up. Building that street fragment will be maybe more difficult to me, I've never done anything like this. But I will try to follow the ways and tips I found here.

I'm a beginner as well the amount of stuff i have repainted is amazing every time i learn something new some thing gets redone lol. trackpads.co.uk

I was working on dio a bit today so here is two photos. It is the ruin of house, only made of cardboard. It looks rough and it needs to improve a lot. After painting and using some glue and wood I guess it will look much better.

After long time and doing other kits I finally found some while to move ahead in this dio.
Here are the pics, the ruin of house and base. They still need so much work to do.
But maybe I will pull out this idea completely and rework it with smaller size of base (with no ruin of house). I have not decided yet.

nice job keep it up....

Good use of cork to build up the street section ! The figures are looking quite good, but here's one tip : to give a better impression position the figures on a white back ground.

Succes !
