Hi kids:
I have been working in virous steps of the dio.
1º. First, I have fixed again the polyexpan to the base. ya que The glue that I used in a beginning did not do his function and it was attacking the poliexpan, not allowing that it should fix. Once done this, I placed the lateral walls of the diorama with plywood of 4mm of thickness.
2º. After making the lateral walls fixed, I revised some points of the poliexpan that were not convincing me and got squarely into the correct location of the buildings into the diorama. Placing angles and calibres in order that the walls were remaining straight.
3º. Though a section of wall is absent for doing, which I will try to do during this week if the time frees allows it to me, I have been placing the trowel for the whole area, that way I will make the surface ready then to fix the cobbles and sidewalks in his corresponding positions.
:X
As sample, before the diorama was like that...
:X
And now it is in this point...
In some points they can appreciate small hollows in the base of the buildings. But it will be corrected when they remain concentrated on his definitive positions and the cobbles and the sidewalks have been placed.
At the moment I will stop to dry DAS the whole night, and today on Friday, if it is totally dry, I will do a general review of the surface (for if it had to add more pasta of shaping in some point) to begin to place the paved one.
I have not covered the central part of the square with DAS, since this part will be independent to the rest of the zone of traffic of the square. There will go the source and a couple of palmtrees.

The cobbles that I will use will be these of the brand
Kancali...
:X And
the sections of sidewalk , of the same brand, will be these...
They are sheets of latex, totally flexible and that allow to connect the above mentioned sheets in any type of surface due to his flexibility. I will have care it is at the moment of fixing it, since with white glue it will be late more in drying off. And as for the unions of the different sheets or chunks that I have to use, I will seal them with Tamiya Putty.
I hope that you like.
See you soon.
Yago.
