The End

Starting a WW2 Dio featuring a destroyed street block. This will have approximately five destroyed buildings.

Trying to arrange the buildings in a way to make the scene interesting.

I luv the way your mind works and this is the part you luv the most it seems ...the idea...the design ...but one day I want to see bodies flung about street to street fighting by gawd.

Thanks for commenting. I agree. I am very picky with figures and it never fails the ones I like are expensive. I am still trying to figure out what this diorama will be about.  My first thought was to have some German soldiers walking down the street after the war was over and seeing the devastation. I don’t want to glue or pin any figures down because I like the option of changing the theme.

How the hell do you have time and space for all of these, and where do you get the cool building pieces? Just awesome to watch!

Thanks. Glad to hear you enjoy the builds. Sadly I don’t keep them all. Most get thrown out. People don’t want to buy them and I don’t want to have too many of these things laying around when I die. For the time being it gives me something to do. I don’t understand why people collect so many kits and never build them. When you die your kids don’t know what they are worth and even if they do, most interested buyers won’t pay what you invested. Everyone is looking for a deal.  Most collectors are sentimental. Anyhow, as for the buildings you can purchase them from the Internet. Here are a few;  Diorama Plus Aka Downtown Deco, RT Diorama (Andy HQ) and Dio Dump (Netherlands). For the most part I always tweak the kits to get the look I am striving for.
