Hey guys! IŽm working on a new dio, thatŽll be called "Nazi Propaganda"
The Barn is completely scratchbuilt and the figures are from Tamiya and Dragon.The Tank is my King Tiger,featured on Display.The completed dio will have 10+figs and the barn will act as a Workshop .I think IŽll make it for the A.G.E campaign, but IŽm not sure
Whell, your comments and tips are always welcomed!!!

Nice figures, and the tractor looks nice too. The composition also looks good, although you will have a lot of space on the ground to cover. Look forward to seeing your finished work.

Thanks guys! Lestweforget: The photo gives this impression,but they have a sad look...
Majorosse-the barn is made from resin...as im not lucky ,it fell down when I was painting it...so I made half of it, using celluclay .The barn is made from balsa wood.

is it resin or balsa wood? I think you mean roof is resin ,barn is balsa :-)
this is great work. nice painting on the figures.the figure with camera is a very good choice for a propaganda named diorama.I liked both of the vehicles.Figures and vehicles will be very good after weathering. I agree the comment about the green stuff on the barrel. I think you used thick electric cables for the rain pipe.will you paint it metal? attaching the rain pipe to the wall with lead foil straps can make a better look .

Ops!sorry!the barn is from balsa and the roof from resin! Graywolf-You are right-Eletric cables!! IŽll paint them on a rusty color, and iŽll follow your tip and use the lead foil ! About the barrel-IŽll work it out too!
Thanks

Looks good Bus. There is only one nit picky thing that I see that could be fixed easily. I would make the angle of the truck in the barn more extreme. Right now it looks a little shallow and seems like it would take down the nicely built barn on the way out. Just a thought. Otherwise a great looking dio and I can't wait to see more.

Hey i have a question....Im new with dioramas and dont know many of the tricks and what not. For the ground your doing I see you have styrafoam. Are you just gonna paint ontop of the styrafoam or put something over it? If you do just paint the styrafoam wouldnt it absorb alot of the paint? O and by the way...awsome King Tiger and Barn.

tHANKS GUYS!
Phoenix 1- The angle of the truck will be corrected .I put the truck just to give an idea
Fuel 21- No... if paint(enamels) goes over the styrofoam, the styr. will corrode. IŽll put celluclay on top of it, then sprinkle some groundwork(grass,earth,bushes..). Finally, iŽll paint it!!
