CP1 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Starting another diorama. This one will be a German column (about five vehicles) moving on to their objective down a mountainous roadway. There will be a ruined cottage along the side of the asphalt roadway. I just poured the retaining wall. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP1 Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 The wall will continue to the end. I will be placing trees devoid of leaves along the roadway. The ruined cottage will face the roadway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Looking mighty good - reminds me of my model railroading days - I just loved building structures and creating scenery. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP1 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 I didn’t like how the project was going so I threw it out and started over. I added utility poles. I might add a stone wall at the top. I still need to add one more tree. I made the road larger to accommodate more vehicles. Here is the new version. I will pour the retaining wall today. I will be adding static grass. I have very tried several static grass applicators in the past and have been disappointed with each one. I found one called the Grasskeeper from Germany. Very expensive but it is supposedly the best one on the market. I am trying to learn this layering technique using different lengths of static grass. I normally use Martin Welberg scenery but it is too expensive to do a large area. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Nice start. How do you carve the foam, just a craft knife or a heated wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP1 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 I use the Proxon table foam cutter, hand held hot wire foam cutters and a sharp box knife. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
