Thanks Pat. The roof tiles I made from cardboard. I cut it into squares and I gave shape.

I happy to see you took the 'side' walls off from the 1st to the second photos. They got in the way and made it hard to see the diorama.
Keep us posted.

After bending, tiles do not change. They are all time hold shape.
I'm put all rooftiles and made two walls.

An awesome beginning to what looks like a very unique work. Can you show us more of the doors & window frames? I really like your main doors. They look very good from these views. Well done Andrzej!

Well done Andrzej!
your diorama is very insipiring. This 3-dimensional shape of terrain allows you to put more figures into action in a very convincing way. Keep going like that!

I changed my conception and I put more figures and add Flak. I will add wooden boxes and amunition boxes for Flak.

Hello Andrzej,
I thought that your initail layout and composition was the best. I feel that the high wall on the right hand side of the diorama restricts our overall view of the scene. This is only my personal view and other than that this is a superb piece of work. Well done!
Regards,
Garth

Garth, Thank you for your opinion but I want to show the narrow streets of the medieval town. If I did not give this wall is a diorama would be incomplete.
So, now diorama looks that:
And roof tiles in makro
I have a question. I do not know what color to paint german uniforms. Can someone tell me?
