Through! 1/35 scale

[num2010]

Hi all,

I didn't post any forum here since a couple months I think.

Today I would like to update you guys here for the diorama base I make for my customer.
Actually this diorama finished 90% progress but I'd just post it here to let you see and hope you enjoy.

My customer brought figures and tank to me with all them painted. He need me to build destroyed diorama base from the tank with the crews hit the building wall.

So, let's see one by one.
1st part(30% completed)
The plaster of Paris was using for this project. The casting plaster 0.8 mm thickness.
I used the cutter at its 2 sides, front/back side, upper side then I started craft the brick as real as possible.

Waiting for plaster is set for 2 hrs. then craft


Measure the size of craking mark on the building wall


Made the hole on the plaster plate to be the windows


Craft on the floor and glue them together all wall sides, fill the tiny hole/space by sticky plaster mix.


Take piece of set plaster on the floor. Spray them all black for color black ground.


Any comment, please feel free. Thank you.
I will try to upload again soon.

OK..I back again for the update.

This post is the 2nd day I did this base which completed 50% progress by painted the building steps.

I sprayed the background all them black then used yellow + brown + white gentle brushed on the ground work for the base.


Inside the buidling wall, 90% white mix with 10% black brush all over.


The window edge using poly foam cut them curve/layer, glue them on the edge.


The color of bricks, sprayed them all black as well then brushed with mix yellow + brown.


The crash at the building made tools engraved the wall.


Almost complete!!!




Final step building making, used white (Tamiya) brush them all over then wipe off by the solvent. (In case if some of you may like black between bricks, this step shall be skip)


Enough now for today update. Again, I really need to see your comment/feedback very appreciate to make me more improve better and better.
Hope you enjoy. Thank you very much.

This post update @90% progress with below details:-

Paint the building, wooden door, cross at 2nd fl. (made from clay)


Pieces of destroyed brick wall on the ground (at the back of diorama) overall them satisfied by my customer.


The destroyed wall at front seems to be big!! (This I will consider again what shall I do.)


Bench with pieces of bricks over, but not much.


Overall, too much red/orange tone but they satisfied me.


It’s too big !!! The destroyed brick wall at front underneath the tank. These will be break them all more smaller.


Overall
