Hi guys!
Well, this is my first real attempt at creating a dio from scratch! I'm excited and, honestly, quite nervous about it! I know I'll make plenty of mistakes and be starting over and modifing things quite often to get it how I want it to look, but I think I'm finally ready to just jump in and give it a go!
Thanks in advance for following and all the help I know you guys will provide.
I came up with the idea to do a winter German trench scene with a Tiger in camo on the outskirts of the trench scene and two German pillboxes on hills.
I went back and forth about carving in the trenches (which, maybe I should have done) but I decided to try to build up around the trench instead of carve into foam.
Initially, I put up walls, which seemed like a good idea at first. I recently learned that I didn't like it and it wasn't practical. So, I totally re-did it, modifing the spacing and area and to some extent, the layout.
I have tried posting the photo here in the post, but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone know how to do that?
I will post more tomorrow about the new layout with the Claycrete laid down!
Thanks for reading.
