Hello Praesert,

This looks really cool, nice composition. Will you some figures between the buiding and the wall so that your dio will allow multi nagle views ?
I would be very interesting in some explanation from you on the way you achieve such building. Didi you use molds ? Or are you starting with a square of plaster that you simply grave ? Anyway the result is great.
I will watch for updates !
Best,
Julien

Brilliant work on the buildings and road- it looks really good. Can't wait to see it all painted up and weathered.

Prasert, Great job so far, looking forward to seeing the progress. I am assuming the building is scratch built? Would you consider making and selling the same type of building, or doing a step by step tutorial on how you did it? Keep up the good work

้ำHello friends, I'm very glad to receive all of yours reply comments and thanks so much to all of you.
Julien: I begin with mold making first and use gypsum plaster mix with a little glue (latex) drop to the mold. Thanks Julien.
Stanley: Thank you Stanley. I start my next step on today and maybe can post on tomorrow.
Karl: Thanks so much Karl.
Walley: Thank for yours advice. It's very difficult to sell about this products in my country and for export more harder because problem about investment.

Hi Prasert. Very nice start to your diorama. Great job with the scribing.
Would the wall in front of the building be so tall in reality ... would it not block too much daylight? Just a thought ... I don´t know what is normal for Vietnam, but this would be something that would be havily considered in our neck of the world.

Hi Prasert,

You are making great headway on this dio. You are doing exactly as I did for my Hue City dio. Plaster is a pain to work with and many guys have gone to blue construction foam, but you are dialed in just right. I added a link below for you to review if you wish to do so.

I spent many hours etching the plaster as you are, however in the future I will probably try the blue foam. Things are coming along very well, so keep us informed of your progress. Nam is my favorite subject and I'll repost all my stuff in the photo files. Feel free to hit me up for anything you think I may be able to help on. Always willing to help a fellow paint and glue sniffer, HA! LOL

Cheers, Ski.

Hi Frank, thanks so much for your reply and about suggestion of the wall front of building, I think too it's a little bit high. Glad to hear from you. Prasert.

Prasert: This is looking great! I agree with Frank's comment on the wall, but it sounds like you already have a plan to address this.

I also agree with those who have suggested that you create a tutorial highlighting your techniques for creating scale buildings from scratch.

Looking forward to your next progress update

Hi Prasert,

I know you heard it already and you will correct it, the wall is a bit high. Please keep this rollin, love the progress. I never took pics as I went along, but I can already see I have corrections to make for the next dio. Gotta love this Sport, always learning from the best!

Keep it going Bro, Ski.

Hi bros and friends, here come with my update of this diorama scene. I add few of building composition such as doors, windows, floor, and roofs, to this step work.
About wall front of the building I prepare to improve as Frank suggest during next step of rubble apply. The rest of works after this is about ground improve, rubbles, paint, inside building composition, prepare M113 Apc for it, and check for the mistake details. I am unskillfully about making composition to the building and if any mistakes or much edit to my works please give me comments and suggestions that very helpful to me. Thank you.

That rebar looks great, really adds to the 'destroyed' and battle scarred sense of the scene.
Corrugated iron roof is great too, what did you use for that?

Hi Karl, glad to yours reply. I used corrugated paper and prepare for silver painting weathering with rust color. Thanks you.

hi!
looking good so far :-) one little tip from me is at the rebar, put small pieces of "concrete" attached to them as they are never completely clean, even big chunks of concrete can still hang on.
