That building looks awesome Grzegorz. Sorry, I have no experience in painting buildings, so I can't give you any pointers there. Perhaps you could give us some more details on how you made this building.

Brilliant! well done on the carving! I would suggest with gypsum or any type of plaster, to use acrylic house paint as a base coat it is realaativly inexpensive and it will seal the plaster. I usually dilute the house paint a bit and apply two coats. House paint is much thicker than hobby paint, I thin it so it doesn't fill in the carving. After the base caot then I finish my buildings with hobby paint and pastels (weathering powders).Hope this helps...

Thanks to all,

Your links and sugessted is very good. My diorama be ready soon. More photos in this week... I would write topics step by step with photos, how build my diorama. Perhaps I help someone...

best regards
