That is ......EXCELLENT!!

Really beautiful work! The interior of the building is particularly eye-catching, with the curtains and all...

WOW!

Bish, after I read my description, some of my words aren't enough to explain my procedure. If you cut out windows and doors you have to use very sharp xacto as a final cutting. First use scribe awl three times. On the other parts espicially broken walls edge don't use exacto. Because you can cut some part of wall . When breaking down procedure be careful, bend down the excessive parts slowly and nicely. When you want to glue the two parts of wall you will see that there is very thin area to glue. After glue dried, two parts of wall can be seperated easily. So you have to put and glue some excessive parts espicially smooth areas such as inside of windows and door and smooth pats of walls. These glued parts support the parts.Embarrassed

Thanks for that heads up. I deffinatly like the look of them for a number of reasons. they are cheaper than other building, and have the inside detail, which plater ones lack. And the weight would deffinatly be a bonus. I am deffinatly going to try one.

Bill and Bish, thank you for your nice comments. Bish, I like details of Miniart buildings. They have very nice inner details and they aren't heavy (less risk of drop). But you have to use more glue and putty. And a lot of sanding. Cutting the wall and base is a little bit diffucult. But I found some methods for making it esaier. First, cut the wall and base with a sharp scribe awl, not with a xacto. After two or three scribing you can break down excessive part. Second, put some excessive part inside of the wall with glue.

Really nice work and detail,I like it a lot.

Some might tell you that a AFV would not fire from inside a building though .i assume he is just hiding out though while re-arming ?

My First Diorama
Posted by turkishpirate on Saturday, January 14, 2012 3:16 PM

Hi All,

This is my first diorama and thank you very much to who helped me from this site. I used Miniart base and building, Dragon's jagdpanther, Miniart figures, Verlinden and Plusmodel furniture. Rest of it is scratchbuilt. Wellcome for all critics.
