Hi,
I decided to build a small diorama of Bergepanzer IV, which build the campaign. I found in my storeroom ruins of VACUFORM smithy that I bought a long time ago. So far I was able to cut and glue the parts together. I have to do some beams on the roof but rather on what is left of him, do some rigging for ie. tools racks, table and other things that are typically found in such places. On my diorama blacksmith will be used as a field workshop of German armored forces. We'll see how I go.

Looking good so far, Pawel. I like the layout of the shop and can see lots of potential for a really nice diorama at the end. Will look forward to your progress.

I notice you're building a vacu-form building, similar to MiniArt. Have you used MiniArt, and can you compare this brand to their's? To me, it generally looks sharper, and I don't see the molding pimples MiniArt is famous for.

Thanks Jack.
@Biggles2 - MiniArt seems to have sharper edges, here are more blurred. As for the molding pimples but they were probably all removed. When assembled looks cool, because before mounting him I was not convinced.

I think this building will give you good"bones" over which to make your dio,

It seems to me that this is one of those sets that you can do something cool, at least I hope so.

Good work with a difficult kit. The vacuformed buildings can look great but can be difficult to get together. This one looks fine so far.

Thanks Johneverett,
VACUFORM is not as terrible as I thought, far from this particular building. ;-). Here are some pictures of what I've done so far. Now I have to paint it and get down to rigging forge. It will not be that much because I tried on the stand as it turned out that there was a lot of space in the middle, oh well.

Wow! Lots of nice scratchbuilding on that interior.
