Diorama street base
Posted by paradox01 on Monday, April 4, 2005 3:34 PM
Quick question. I'm about to construct my first "in a city" diorama and have a host of buildings and accessories to choose from online but I can't find a street diorama base other than a verlinden cobblestone street which is too small (9.5 x 6.5 inches). Anyone know of a location to look for one? I was thinking a street similar to the one in this pic from a verlinden building. ( Of course the street can't convieniently be included in the kit!)

Thanks for the help.

Well, you can always scratch one out of plaster, and scribe in what you need, although that is time consuming....www.kancali.com make some neat street sections that are made from latex rubber, and are quite large and at a not too bad of a price. Tamiya also offer some paper type street sections, but they are roughly 8.5x11 in size.

Check out my Linking Up dio, the road sections are from Kancali...simply cut and glue down. I did, however pour some dry tile grout onto the cobbles to fill in the spaces, removed the excess, sprayed on white glue/water, and let it harden up. Great stuff! Good luck!
