Tentative diorama

[noll]

Hello yet again all!

I've just started to plan out a dio that i think I'll be making soon.
Pics (not remotely how the bridge will end up looking):





...and what i have so far:


In terms of vehicles, I'm thinking that it will include two. one (probably my recent purchase, the Sturer Emil) will be abandoned, mabe 1/2 in the water, and the other will be driving past - not sure if it will be the ISU-152 or StuG 4 that's the other vehicle though.

I'll do my best to get started, although i can't do much until i order lots of sheet styrene.

Oh, and the red in the image will be bricks.

Looks like a nice plan Oliver.Waiting to see what you do with it.

Looks like a great plan... you have my attention as usual!

[noll]

Thanks guys . If i have time , I'll start on this today.

I'm facing a bit of a dilemma though. Which piece of wood should I use?

The concept is roughly the same either way, but the rectangle would have the bridge as a bigger focal point.

Alright, I'll try to get started tomorrow - my parents are coming back from england though, so i might not get much done

Looks like a neat project Oli, look forward to seeing what you do with it. I think the rectangle will give you more flexibility but I suppose that depends on what you're going to place on the bridge as to whether it's the right size/dimensions or not!

[noll]

hello again guys . I have made some progress - I decided to stick with a square in the end, as the rectangular piece of wood was too small.

I am not sure what combo of vehicles I want in the dio. my options:

Ko'ed Emil with ISU driving past:


Same thing, but with the Emil partly in the water:


And a couple of different configurations with a stug 4:




SO, what do you guys think I should do?

Thanks for looking!

I'll add a coat of plaster after school, and. Make the brick bridge supports from foam.

[deafpanzer]

Great start!!! Still following this... it will be fun!

[bbd468]

Right on Oliver, looks great so far.....Bookmarked!!!

[Leon]

Same as Gary and Andy.Looking good Oliver.

[noll]

Thanks Guys. In the end, I didn't get the plaster on - played Risk with family and clear-coated Waffentrager. I'll do it tomorrow though.

[Steve Zuleski]

Looks like a great plan so far, rock on!

Cheers, Ski.
