Well it''s been 10 months in the building, writing, editing and it''s now finally a done deal.
This feature is a soup to nuts - start to finish feature. It covers everything from planning, building, detailing, figures, AFV, painting, water, resin, and more.

Be patient when loading it and note that I broke up the feature into smaller sections for ease of reading and to get information out.

Here it is

Got'cha Covered

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

That settles it, I'm gonna have to go buy some cork. Great SBS, Scott.

Patrick

Nice article Scott.

Wow Scott!!! It came out great. All the times I had looked at this and your building I never knew it was scratch cork building. You have done a fantasic job on the building and everything else on this project. I am really amazed by your widow techniques and will have a lot of questions for you. Great dio, great dio and great article!!! Kevin

Congratulations Scott

You have also made it giving details of regarding the cork that can be very interesting for the American modellers

I think that's the longest feature i've seen... 20 pages! I could be wrong, but anyhow... Wonderful feature on a great Diorama... Thanks Scott..

Fantastic dio, Scott. And a very comprehensive article!

Lovely to see an Allied dio for a change

Rudi

Thanks for sharing

Thanks guys. I hope that everyone can gleen something from this one. I appreciate the kind remarks.

No rest for diroama builders!! All the way is far enough

You have no idea how long i searched for a comprehensive article like that to help me learn more about building dioramas.

Even though im still reading through it, i just want to say a big thanks to you Scott. I was that close to going out to buy books on it as i really couldnt find tutorials comprehensive enough to help me learn more about it.

Let me say that you have written a great article Scott: detailed and clear. This should serve as a wonderful guide for those people looking to get their feet wet in diorama building.

Keith

Very nice! didnt have time right now to read the entire article but from what I did read, I must say you put it as good as it gets!
Great job, now do another :-) :-) #:-)
