This scenic dio will be the base for my "Duel in the sun" group build halftrack. I thought it would be good to do this dio as a SBS and post it separately here in the "Dioramas" section, to show how I do my groundwork etc.
The scene will show the halftrack taking shelter underneath a corrugated barn in an Italian farmyard which has been under attack. Below is a rough mock up of how it may look. The frame is an old metal picture frame.
The large tree at the back will be a Stone Pine, something like this.
The barn itself is a simple corrugated roof on four strong wooden legs. I was originally going to make the roof look like it had taken a hit but have now decided to make the damage manmade and put a figure or two in the hole as lookouts.
Two celing tiles have been added inside the frame. This gives me a total depth of 1.5" to excavate. Some of the terrain has already been carved. This shows the position of the barn in the scene. Outside the barn is a small crater this will be mostly filled with the stone flags that are/were on the barn floor. So this is where it stands as of today.
Thanks for looking
