Dumb question but I need to know

QUOTE: Originally posted by Airbrush I guess I should have clarified, It would be the ardennes or the rural areas of Bastoung.

just to clarify things, Bastogne is in Belgium. I wouldn't know what was used for sure but I would imagine stone and brick would be plentiful.

I have that book lol, That is one of my favorite dios except for the B52 and ground crew of like the very last page...I really like that photo

Kalmbach 2nd edition "How to build Diorama's" Shows a step by step of a burnt out T-34/76 and Germans are using it as a machine gun nest. It looks really cool.

a tank drove over a machine gun nest, and the machine gunners are pissed, but I think I will do a different dio, and do that one in a larger scale like 1/35 instead of 1/72

What are you planning to build Airbrush?

I guess I should have clarified, It would be the ardennes or the rural areas of Bastoung. I will use wood if I have to but I really wanted my tank to have driven through a brick wall. OOOO idea idea. It will have driven over a brick wall with a Machinegun nest set up and the machine gunners will be yelling at the tankers... watcha think????

Airbrush-wood's not very plentiful in France-in 1944 there was a lot of stone construction, brick and some stucco! A lot of cobblestone pavers too!

Urban areas usually use brickwalls (some with iron grilles) while rural areas use wooden fences (or none at all).

Hope this helps.

What area of france are you looking for?

Materials used will vary between regions, climates and soil conditions.
