Thanks for the info. It will get me started.

mjohnson,

Have fun. Do a few that you only show your wife or girlfriend. then go from there. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's a long walk to eden.

Mjohnson, on this page, you can see my German Stronghold I built.

Go to "Mark's German Armor" Album, and at the very bottom is a picture of my stronghold.

I wish I could get better closeup shots of it, but my camera cannot handle it. I used alot of extra parts, small models and soldiers to show a stronghold that has just been called to alert status against a possible attack; even as a supply truck had arrived, and a couple of motorcycle scouts were being sent out.

I simply used Pollyscale acrylics and some Testors enamels to paint and drybrush the base, and used Elmer's Glue thinned 50-50 with water to glue on the grass and gravel/rock to the base. I used Elmer's full strength to glue down the moss that represents bushes. The troops, furnishings, weapons and other accessories I glued down with CA glue. All the motorcycles, vehicles, guns and equipment is loose, so I can change things whenever I want to.

I hope this helps with a few ideas for you.

Thanks for the info. It is a start for me.

If it's resin, I use CA glue, if plaster, Elmer's white glue is wonderful. Generally any modelling paint will work (I use Model Master acrylics). I generally spray them black before applying the real colours (MM spray can works for me)
