A while ago i started with my first Diorama, the idea is to give an image of german force launching a counter attack a couple of day's after D-day. I got the idea when i almost finished my Stug IV model, i tought i need a base to display it on.
The idea is to make the Stug driving on a dirt road with some infantry walking behind it and sitting top of the Stug. At one side of the dirt road i want to make a little stream and behind that a Weath field. at the otherside of the Dirt road i want to make a typical bocage hege and behind that a gras field. I haven't desided it if i want to put water in the stream or make a stream wich run dry.
As pic's tell more then a story here are some pics.
The Stug:

The wooden base plate with pencil outlined where the dirt road is comming.

I used polystyrene to make some relief in the base, most of the techniek's i use are comming out of the book "Lets build diorama's":

Over the Polystyrene i applied some layers of toiletpaper with white glue and wallpaper paste.

I am now working on aplying soil and painting this. My building time is limited so it might take some time before i post an update. If anybody has tips or tricks for me please let me know. Any other opinions or idea's are also welkom
