Hi, here is my latest work of diorama house ruins. Problem to me about this diorama is making tile and roof structure. If any reference of images about tile roof please share me. I used plywood for roof structure also floor and ceiling. Thank you very much for every comment.

looking good to me can't wait to see where you go with it.

Larger pics if you could.

Thumbnails that you click on that get larger are good also.

Thanks

I think the structure of the roof is very plausible. I'm not an expert, but it looks passable to me. One thing I would do is have a bit of overlap on the roof tiles. The one above the lower one would be overlapped so when it rains the rain cascades over the lower tiles. I would like to see more tiles too, right now it looks a bit to random and a bit toy like.
What are your plans for windows, those are huge panes of glass, it had to go somewhere. If not big panes then you need frames for smaller panes of glass.

This looks great! I feel like my build looks like a kids school project now

What material did you use for the bricks?

hi prasert,

once again you build a wonderful diorama setting. you are by far the fastest at making these great buildings. i just can't wait until you get a new camera or your cellphone camera is upgraded then we will be blown away!

as for the roof construction question, you appear to have made a great version. one thing to add perhaps are "roof truss" elements. the roof is at an angle and would need support of some sort, even semi-destroyed pieces.

here is a basic link i found for you that may explain what i mean:

i know english is your second language so the word you may want to search for is "truss" construction. as for tiles, always start at the bottom of the roof line, working horizontally (sideways) and overlap each new row over the lower row of tiles by a small fraction and you are doing it like the real thing. here's a link:

hope this helps my friend. cheers. mh

Hello and big thanks to every suggestion from all of you.
Hi Jeff: I shall adjust to large pics next post.
Hi Scott: As your comment and advice I can increase to my next dio.
Hi Simon: I use gypsum plaster for making bricks.
Hi Mh: Your reply comment very useful and great reference to me and hope to learn from you more in the future. Thanks.

and my next project (Vietnam war battle in the city) please follow up and share your knowledge again.






I waiting all of this gypsum plate dry and can construct it on today.

hey, looks great so far!

what are you using to build the walls of that building?

thanks, Mike

Hi Mike, glad to receive your comment. I used gypsum to build that building. Thanks again.

Okay what camera are you using?
Seems that pics are washed out when viewed in large size.

Not enough pixels.

But still good in my book.

Thanks Jeff, my camera is very old type about 7-8 years before, I still keeping money to buy the new one.
