some time ago I have been presented here a building for a diorama. Now I can present it the complete diorama. I was made with my friend Werner Kampfhofer that make the vehicles and paint all.
The buildings was made mainly with cork and some balsa strips.
all figures was from Dragon and the vehicle is a Tamiya model.

no doubt that every one of your buildings allow for a great diorama! So is this one.
I would prefer a lighter color instead of the ocker parts, but that is personal choice.

A touch of color could do well also, like a road sign near the tunnel showing a "One way traffic" or "maximum wide" or something like that.
