Excellent diorama, amigo. I love the bird in the nest, the facades, the bottom of the one officer's boots as he talks with the soldier and the weathering to the buildings is terrific. I was thinking that a member of the Resistance could be crouched in the corner behind the metal fence and the shop owner facing the door might be holding a captured Luger - just for drama's sake.
Nice painting and attention to detail. Too many nice features to mention here. Bravo!

Hi.

Very good work with nice details as the shop interior

Pablo,

Wow! This is one fine scene! The pigeon; the bulb in the light fixtures; the flowers; curtains; these really set it off. That decorative floor -- how did you do that? Do you have in-progress photos? If not, would you consider making a short (or long) feature demonstrating it?

Impressive work!

Pablo,
Very,very nice.I love it all.Great scene,painting and nice detail on the figures.

Terrific diorama. If it wasn't for the Germans walking around, I'd almost say it was sweet!

What did you use for the cobblestone? Store bought or technique? It's difficult to do good cityscapes but you've pulled it off nicely. Love the bird's nest.

I think that this dio is very well done.
How often do we see a complete scratchbuild scene at all?

As far as I see you did not forget anything, really , a great effort!

Some more weathering on different spots (the chimney's top, side wall, sidewalk under the rainpipe!, for example) would be nice.
The hinges on the door and the paravent are a bit minimalistic (repaint them darker so they will not stick out so well) and I would like the cobblesstones more defined, but overall, as you say, it was a first for some time and you had fun, so, thumbs up!

Claude

Hi Pablo,

what a awesome work ! Congrats ! i really like all the little details and the scratch builts ere fantastics ;

The dio really looks like a 40's french street; and the weathering is top .

Just the top of the chimney would has deserved a little more of weathering .

Thanks Nicolas. As I replied to Claude, it is hard to notice in the pictures (I am really a rookie in what taking pictures of my works concerns), but they were weathered with some light layers of burnt sienna and earth brown.
Maybe I should have done them darker, yet I restrained myself since I didn't want to exagerate the effect. The white plastic spackle I use tends to absorve paints and olis too much and is very hard to disimulate the mistakes on it.
Thanks for your input!!
Cheers

Nice concept here and really a lot of work!!! Most has already been said so I can only add my admiration. I really love the scratchbuilt building!! I like making these as well!

Hi there Jerry.
Thanks for your comments. Looking forward to see one of your buildings! I find scratchbuilding them as fascinating as building the model or the figures.
Cheers!

Wow Pablo, how I missed this beatiful diorama!!!
I don´t have too much to say that has already been said, only I enjoy every picture you posted.
The details are fabulous.
A master piece of work, my friend!!!
My sincere congratulations for this outstanding diorama!!!

Very nice work Pablo, very very thorough build. Glad you provided so many detailed photos from the start, normally someone has to ask for those.
