My big diorama to 1-25 scale.

[piterpanzer]

Hello!
I would like to introduce my project big diorama to 1-25 scale.I started last year ,but no time to translate all.

The base is wooden frame and has diameter 2mx 1m.It has holes for connect with next section 1x1 m or 2x1 m by screws.

To this frame i screw on styrene plate,to make all light and stiff groundwork.
On this plate i `ve done scheme of my project,on my case it`s a frontal city,waiting the defence.At this time (not exactly predetermine) across city travel unknown(today) division.All vehicles ,what You see on pictures are there only today just for test.
After I sketched streets ,for good look - diameter verification.


Now is time to make sculpture of terrain (lie?) ouside city,where the defence button up (get ready).
I used old newspaper,somethimes glue to styren and squeeze where i need.


Ready terrain i glue black cloth.Black is better for ground because from the beginning imitate ground,but at this case is over.I hope no problem with white suiting.

Now we are at the city.
i glue th houses corners for easier planning.For the houses walls I use styro(german name is Styropor).The windows holes are easy to cut,the same with roof construction.I do elevation from plaster glue.


Asphalt roads will do by.....glass-paper,but glue when side-walk and kerbstone are ready.


When asphalt is over outside city ,there are wheels and track print(impression) on mud road (like on diorama 1)


Around houses I plane to do gardens and fence. I plane to do 3 houses,one is kommendantur,and church with tower.


Now vehicles and figures test position.



and connect to diorama 1


I hope you will undestand my english,it`s a difficult test for me with many ,new technical words.Sorry for trouble.

The next steps forward.
Outside city part is mostly ready.On the basement I put some layers of mud mix with glue to properly thickness.


When the mudd start to mortar i did tracks traces used my Tiger RC 1-24 scale and one tool looks like this one for zimmerit.

After few days ,when all dried and concreted(glue) I covered some places sand and grass.



Trees and bushes are from modelers shop.Put grass need few layers too,and it `s arduous work if you want have possitive effect.I cover grass by cars clar -lack to better set.
All look to sweet for me now,but the "last word" I `ll do ,when city is ready.
Houses schemes I glue to styro and cut -out.I must decide to do or not silicone forms because I plane to do more houses by plaster of paris.


That all for now.Reagard from building -square!
