Okay, now that I know how this works I'd really like to get in on it...it's my first dio AND my first GB!

Actually, it's somewhat started already, but barely (I'm still buying models) and this'll give me some real incentive to keep on it!

Anyway, the idea for my dio is a street fighting scene in the Battle for Berlin done in 1/35 scale. The tenative title is, 'Red Tide Rising'. Now...how do I post one of those nifty badges onto my sigConfused [%-)]

hernando, you should copy the information from the thread you started in the Diorama forum to the first post here, as I'm assuming this is to be the official thread.

If the Thread gets lost in the far reaches of the Forum(ie couple pages behind) just say bump to put it at the the top.

Hey All,

Just a quick question. I was thinking of joining this build. I have been paiting figures to put in a diorama with either a Kubelwagen, schwimmy or a 251 that I have already done. IS this accpetable or would I have to build another vehicle?? Thanks.

tamiya.....contrary to there usually pretty good kits....this one is real badly detailed
well started my sdkfz251....the panel needed a lot of extra detail... the entire interior is just crap. i needed to do sooo much scratchtbuilding and i dont even have the seats on!!!
i just need to paint the driver and put him in then i can glue everything and get the interior in. didnt buy a driver took a panther tank driver, put his a$$ under a flame and formed his legs to fit the controls.

i have the facade of the building cut out of wood, all the windows are cut out, i painted it white, now i just have to put frames in all the 28 windows! and windows, and then the four floors, walls on the inside, furniture, rubble, a balcony, all the things for the shops on the bottom floor, the street, engrave the stones in the sidewalk and street, make the baracade, the roof of the building, and then the figures, and sdkfz251...
WOW thats a lot of work!! i have alot of good research including the actual street names of the historical event of the capture of a sdkfz by thte partisans!!!!
gotta get to work-DJ

cool badge!

Dj, either way sounds cool. I know that when I look at dios, it is always cool to see everything, from inside a building, to the sewers, so I would favor showing the lower floors as well. It really depends on how much time, money and effort you want to put in to the project though.

I have painted the first out of 24 figures, so far it has taken about 3 days. Which basically means its gonna be awhile!!!!!

Either one sounds nice actually, depending on how much time you spend on either. so no, it doesnt sound too busy. War is busy, caotic, never organized.

i ve been working on this idea for 3 months.....and im have design conflicts with this one....i got all the kits for it
its gonna be a street in warsaw during the warsaw uprising, theres gonna be a sdkfz251(tamiya) on the street in front of a barracade, the partisans run out from a corner and attack it, the germans from the car hop out and attack also, next to the truck theres a building with more partisans on the top floor (3rd-4th floor) with either maltov cocktails, mortars (just tapping them and droping them), panzerfuast, or grenades,

but i wanna know since the "action" is gonna be on the top floor, should i build and detail the bottom floors too, or box them in and just build on the top floor, and also, with the two action points do you think its kinda too busy?
thx-DJ
