OK Guys and Gals

I'm going to try my first diorama. The building I am going to use is the "Italian Farm Ruin" by Verlinden. Since I've never attempted this before all help and advice would be greatly appreciated. I need help on prep, colors, extra/added detail, assembly, etc., etc. Any useful links would also be helpful.

I've got both Shep Paine's and Lynn Kessler's books, and will rely heavily on their info, but reading generalities and help from those that have actually attempted it are two different things.

Thanks
Dave

Delta - I have built this particular kit before (more than once!)... I have also posted a feature article here on Armoram on working with (prepping, painting, gluing) plaster kits which can be found in FEATURES-> DIORAMAS subsection... one is called "Prepping Plaster kits" and the second continuation is "Last Rites: Painting a Church Ruin". Both should offer a good variety of information to supplement the books you have already mentioned. If you have questions, do not hesititate to email or IM me.

Links to the two articles are below:

Thanks Keith. I'm sure these will be a great help.
