Hi everyone,

I found this archive photo on the Internet, when I was looking for information and pics about Dodge truck. The photo inspired me to build such diorama.



In brief...:
Dodge: Italeri base + Academy wheels + Eduard P-E set + scratch
ZIS-3: UM
Figures: Preieser sets

Some pics from the workbench:

and gallery...








Thanks for watching,

Well done!!

I like a lot those very convincing ruins.

And it seems to me very cleever this way to reproduce the bricks with a rubber

In your opinion could it work in 35 scale?

Congrats again, a standing work indeed

Cheers

I'll do it for sure (I will need at least thounsed rubbers to do a single dio)

I wanted to know if perhaps you have already tried...but anyway you're right. Nothing is like a trial

Congrats again

cheers

Excellent job - especially in 1/72! I very much like the story line as well, you can really be proud of this job.

Cordially,

Dennis

I like the muzzle cover on the howitzer. How did you make that?

Nice looking dio. About the bricks; I know you used rubber, but what specifically?

It's made with handkerchief soaked glue for wood.

Ah, the problem here is that in America that would be called an eraser, we just use a different word, hence the misunderstanding. That is a neat way to do bricks, I might just have to try it. Are all your bricks made that way, or did you cast your own after you cut them up?

Very impressive build--I initially thought I was looking at a 1/35th scale diorama, not 1/72nd. I really like the composition of the diorama, but it is still awfully tidy. I just think it needs more medium and fine rubble. All the loose bricks and other fragments are rather large, and there needs to be a lot more medium sized and finely crumbled debris mixed in. The rubble also seems to stop very close to the house, when it really should be all over the road. You can smash a real brick with a hammer and sprinkle the bits onto some thinned down white glue (PVA glue, which dries clear). The rubble should also include a lot of bits of metal pipe, paper, fabric, wiring, and stuff that simply cannot be identified. A nice detail would be to add some broken glass (or clear plastic, or even salt crystals, whatever you're using for glass) on the sill below the broken window, for instance.
Visit a demolition site, and you'll see what I mean. And smashed buildings also release a huge amount of dust, mostly pulverized mortar (cement), so consider brushing on some ground pastel chalks or light colored pigments to tone down the colors.
