zokissmo i think i saw a sdkfz 251 in a previous picture for his dio
This one will definitely be interesting to watch.
Plans for any vehicles, or only the building plus figures?
I'd say a bit brownish colour almost tan.
i need to do more research, i dont know if it varies by period

Thanks for all your input guys! I know it will help make my diorama better.
Does anyone know a good color for the Russian uniforms? I used Tamiya khaki (XF-49) and it seems to dark. Is there a better color from Tamiya? From another brand?

Too many to count!
Nice so far! But make sure to tone down the white and highlight the stitches on the russian figs
bondoman The stair set won't do...it's way too modern and throws the thing off. It looks more like an element from around the 1960's. But you could make something up out of wood, no doubt.

Or modify it so it looks like it's from an earlier era.

Some nice WIP!!! Keep in mind that the two German figure sets are different; one is Heer and one is Waffen SS...
The stair set is for outside the building, there will be wooden stairs on the inside.
This is looking interesting.
I LOVE that tamiya russian set. there are so many figures in there, so many good poses. get a few just to have extra parts laying around.
Total american patriot - It takes me a while to make figures too, but I am not using all of the figures in each kit just some of them. This ones going to take a while though.
bbrowniii - here are some wip pictures:
I painted this russian guy's uniform wiht Tamiya Khaki (XF-49) and it seems to dark for russian uniforms. Does anyone know a better color to use for their uniforms?
gosh how are you going to complete all of those figgies! I finish one at a pace of a week and you have 22 figures!
But on topic, the project looks cool. Looking forward for some urban rubble. Tanks too?
Wow, a good amount of figures! This seems like a very interesting and ambitious project that I'm anxious to see.
I've put those Russians together as well as those Germans from Kharkov (top photo). Both nice kits and good looking figures. The only thing I noticed was that they scale out differently. The Germans are Dragon figs and the Russians are Tamiya. Compared side by side the Russians look about a foot shorter and a lot more malnourished, so to speak.
Since you're doing an urban scene where the Russians are inside and the Germans are outside, the difference in size may not be that noticeable. I like those stairs too, like I said, I'm anxious to see how this pans out.

Judging by your previous work, this should be a nice one! I'll be excited to see how it goes.
So, got any WIP pics yet???..... how 'bout now?..... now??

I am startinga new diorama that takes place somewhere on the eastern front. I haven't decided where exactly yet. There is going to be a German halftrack stopped outside the building, Russians in the building and the Germans are going to be trying to take over the building. Since there was a lot of floor-to-floor and building-to-building combat, I wanted to make a diorama that showed that. Here are the kits I am going to use:
Hopefully I can start construction soon!
