Thanks for the comments everyone!

Kurt: I know what you mean about the rubble being neatly placed around the building. I did wanted it to be a contrast between the ruined building and the "beautiful" nature but maybe i could mix them up a little!

Romain: I do want some color in the diorama. However, I still have not finished all the weathering so hopefully they will go from lemon to a more warm peach tone

Todays update has no bricks but a door and some window "covers":





PS. look closely and you can see a few of my bricks in production on the work bench!

Hi Johan,

I must say I like what I see! That figure looks super, so does the door and the shutter!!

I also like details like the Schmeisser lying near the driver's hatch..!

A lot of talent there!! Well done Sir!!

Still more bricks though..!!

Cheers

Romain

Wow, great work, Johan. Lemon color and bricks or not, this is fantastic work.

Thanks for sharing

Been a while since visited your blog, you have really progressed, and the results are stunning, great work Johan.

Wow, beautiful work Johan! Gives me inspiration to try a diorama again.

Hi Johan,

This looks great! Nicely done. Ahh, yes, the debris police! I'm in the middle of a build that yes, also keeps getting more and more debris. It can be tedious, but the results can be great. Romain's point about building a "fake" pile using styrofoam or something as a base for a pile of rubble is a good one. If you paint the "fake debris base" a dark color you can then add as much rubble you want on top of it and get a convincing look. The trick seems to be to get an overall form that looks right - that is, not a cone, but not too flat either -

Or, leave it as is!

Cheers
Nick
