Hi Grzegorz,

That's a pretty amazing building you have there. Looks like excellent work to me.

I like the way the whole building is leaning forward almost separating itself.

Thanks for posting this really nice work.

Cheers

Superbe !

Great job on the wheatering. How did you proceed for the white areas?

What is not so good is the big piece of wall on the first picture. The wall should fall apart in thousand pieces and not stay together in one piece.

I really like your latern . Do you have more instructions on how to build it?
Perhaps more photos how you did it.

Are there figures to be included in the scene?

Well done,

Cheers
Claude

Cracking work, especially as it blends in so well with the background picture that you have chosen. The attention to the detail and weathering that you have done is fabulous.

Wow! Very, very nice indeed. I really like the bench across the street, reminds you that not so long ago people lived here and went about their business in peace, before the war changed everything.

I have to agree with Claude about the large sections of wall still intact. I've never been involved in a war but worked on plenty of construction sites when I was younger and even well built old buildings just fall apart once they loose the support of the rest of the structure. Brickwork can stay together sure, but not in huge pieces like this. If there is any demolition going on near you, go down with a camera, they won't mind.

Your fine details like doors and windows are superb! Can't wait to see the finished piece with figures etc.

A really nice project, I'd be proud.

Great dio,and even a working lantern superb.
Weathering is very nice too.Looks as if it would fit into any setting military or civilian.

Thanks for sharing. I hope someday to be able to do a Dio myself as I've a few ideas but not the time or materials yet

That is a lovely piece of work! Looking at the pics with the backdrop it looks very Oradour. Tranquil yet disturbing. Excellent!!!

Want to echo the positive comments of others...
Want to start with the positives~ For an entirely scratchbuilt project, this is tremendous! Well painted and weathered, very natural looking... The grass, tree and bench contrast the destruction well, and show what a direct hit can do to an upper level of a building... The edge of the damaged plaster where brickwork is exposed is quite effective with the white edging between the painted finish and the terracotta brick colour... The street lamp is great and to have a working light is fantastic! Any chance of a 'night' shot with the lamp glowing? Could I suggest a street plaque, either on the building edge or on the ground?
Now some negatives~ The critique of the large chunks of brickwork... At the very least, you could show a crack running through the centre of the piece where impact was made, and maybe have one section a fraction lower where separated... Also a scattering of individual bricks around the pavement would help... You may notice that the two large chunks of brickwork, the door and a window all are falling the same direction. Maybe some variety? The broken panes are too consisitent. Maybe remove the glass shards from a couple of panes entirely?
Great job, and I hope it inspires you to many more!!
Cheers
Brad

Excellent Grzegorz. The building and scene really does look realistic, as does the colouring and weathering. With your chosen background, it shows just how much. I have to agree with Claude ... some of the bigger rubble pieces dont suit the scene ... more single bricks and dust would make a huge difference to it though. Thanks for sharing. What are your plans for vehicles and figures?
