well, i'd like to build a diorama of a small russian village a großdeutschland division would come across around 1943.
:-?
the only problem is that i dont know what to make the diorama building out of, and i dont know how to keep it to scale (i work with 1/35 scale)

so ALL help would be greatly appreciated
(thanks in advance) :-)

Hey MM, I been researching russian and eastern european areas for dio's for sometimes now, if you IM me your email I would be happy to send you a few photos of villages, there is one with a bridge leading into a village thats incredible that I am going to try next. Most of the rural village homes I have come across so far are log homes maybe covered in plaster. Cheers Kevin

my "keeping in scale" rule says divide actual life sizes with 35 and have a flow of 5-10 % + or - and u ll be right in scale . Always works
