Hello fellow modelers

Today I came back from Germany and the motor under the car`s bonnet wasn`t even cooled down when I was modeling again. Just to give you all a new photoupdate of my contest dio.
I did the plaster and the road with drainage last time.
Now I added rubble in front of the house. First I made the shapes with the same foam where my whole dio is made from. after that I covered everything with miliputt. From some spare pieces of foam I made a little supply of loose bricks. Added some bigger wallpieces that I made earlier put some wooden sticks in it and the half of it was finished then


An overview of the shaping with foam and the actual result

Good job - you are making great progress! I like it. I can't wait till the end. This dio keeps getting better and better

Very nice,I cant wait for the photos

here is an updated costs list

Sniper:
I talked this over with Keith because my Sniper ia completely scratchbuilt and I had no idea what to raise for it. So Keith and I agreed to raise 25ct. for every part that came from the scratchbox I thought this was fair.
-Modeling Clay from the DAS brand "Stolen" from my little sister : 0.00ct
-The Sniper gun came from the scrapbox : 0.25ct
-The right(shooting) hand from the scrapbox: 0.25ct
-the complete leftarm came from the scrapbox: 0.25ct
-The head with helmet out of the scrapbox: 0.25ct
-The boots from the scrapbox: 0.25
-The shovel and the cannister (I believe): 0.25ct
Total Scratchbuilt Sniper: $ 1.50

The building and sidewalk
-Foam used for the building and sidewalk I got it from my father out of the hospital: 0.00ct
-Windowframe was made out of a couple of icelolly sticks wich I had laying around: 0.00ct
-Miliputt wich I had laying around for a long time: Oh heck I raise 0.25ct for that then my building got any value within
-one tube of wallspackle/plaster/ (plamuur in dutch) "stolen" from my fathers workshed: 0:00ct
-The road with drainage sculpted out of the same foam where everything except the figure is sculpted out 0.00 ct.
-The rubble piles against the sides of the building are made out of foam and then covered with a layer of miliputt I`ll raise 0.25ct. for that
Total scratchbuilt houseruin: $0.50ct

Overall cost: $2.00 (this will be almost the same price in Euro`s I believe)

Robert,
There's no need to be shy when distributing rubble. I'd throw in more loose bricks, maybe a mixture of plaster + sand + pieces of wood + rooftiles + a piece of broken rainpipe + ... against the wall facade. When a building comes down, rubble is stacked between one and three feet high....
