BTW-A while back there some posts on using sheetrock for walls/roads..I tried it on the block retaining wall in this dio and I think it turned out pretty good.

That is a very nice looking diorama Brian. Could you expand on your method of using drywall for the reatining wall? Also, what figures are those?

Hi again,
to answer some questions-
All of the figures are from Dragon-Panzergrenadiers #6194, German Infantry #6158, Tiger Aces #6028 and the sitting tanker came with the Hetzer kit # 6060.
The wall was done by first cutting it to size, and removing the area where the stream goes thrrough. The next thing was to remove the backing paper-darker color- mostly peels off with your fingers. Just rub the areas with your finger that doesn't peel. The paper on the front side was a little harder. First I took a damp rag, and just dampened it a little, let it sit for a few minutes and start to remove the paper. I used the damp rag on the stubborn areas, and then let it sit to dry overnight. The sheetrock is very delicate at this point!! The next day I lightly sanded the front side, and used a dull razor edge to carve in the detail. Paint to your liking.
