Looks good so far. Some of the mirror's that Frank (oldhooker) uses for his airline dios would work nicely to extend the scene sideways. I agree that a box style presentation would work nicely, you just have to work out the point of view above and below ground.

Yes I think it is, But I am not using the Warriors figures. I did look to see if I could find the kit but haven't found it anywhere.

Oh excellent!

Isn't this an ingeneous Dio kit from Warriors I believe?

Are you using the kit figures? Or others?

Well..I'd like to pictures of what you have so far----I gota million ideas without pictures----know what I mean? This site has no resource as a server for images, so you need to store yours on photobucket or someplace like that. All you do to post each pic is right click the image, go down to 'properties' and select that. On that dialog box is the pic's URL . Highlight the complete URL and 'copy' . Now go to you 'reply' box here    (it's good to have two or more 'tabs' open) and select that filmstrip 'icon' above. then 'paste' the URL where it says to and hit 'insert' BAM its on the page. Yes you have to do it that way with each pic although some images off the web will simply 'copy' & paste' but not all----there----clear as mud!!

101stAirborne,

A shadow box style diorama world really work well for your idea. Force the perspective using different scales of figures positioned front to back. There are few photos of sewer fighting from WWII, being dark and vile places the camera crews realized the pictures would not have turned out anyways. Include brown water, rats and desperate looking soldiers.

The Soviets used the sewers in the battle of Stalingrad to out flank the Germans attacking from behind their lines, possibly the German veterans of that battle realized the strategic value and exploited the sewer tunnels for any edge in the final days during the fall of Berlin.

IdeaInclude mixed arms, uniforms and ages of the soldiers. A small squad of 6 running towards the viewer would be really effective to highlight your idea.Yes

Good luck, as always looking forward to some cool WIP's!

A new diorama called "sewer rats" I am working on and would like to hear what people think of the idea. It takes place in 1945 during the fall of Berlin and some Germans found refuge in a sewer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 These are the figures I plan on using

 

 Here is one of the almost finished figures.

 

 

 tell me what you think of this oak camo. Be honest.
