hello,
i am looking for some help with what i hope will be my first diorama.
the kit will be tamiya's 1/35 SdKfz 7/1 Flakvierling, and the base i plan to use is from Hansa Systems, no.35006, called "Diorama Street Base".
I couldn't find a link to the individual base, but if you scroll about half way down you'll see it:

the setting i have in mind is a france / normandy summer. i will be using DML's Panzer Riders Lorraine as SS troops sitting/standing around, and probably some verlinden tank crew in relaxed pose (i couldn't find any half track crew in the poses i wanted).
the note with this Hansa base says "A twig for a tree, some pebbles, lichen and grass from WOODLAND SCENICS [their caps] to complete this easy diorama".
i am in the UK and have found online stores selling WS stuff, but i admit i am at a loss as to exactly what to buy.
what do i need to get re ground cover , trees etc and what glues or sprays do i need.
i have my regular kit-making stuff and white glue, but that's about it!
sorry for the long-winded post, but i'm really keen on getting this right!
any help would be much appreciated!
kind regards,
Nicholas
