polystyrene packing is a favourite of mine [its free]..cuts with a hot knife to almost any shape..and the weight saving is very important..the papier mache i use is almost like a paper paste...and is very workable...and it dries rock hard.and will "hold" everything together on the base..
ive decided that this diorama will depict...a concrete gun emplacement for the Flak 38..made from plaster castings .cut and detailed by hand..on the right handside at the top of the rise. gently sloping down to a river..where a vehicle has stopped to allow the crew to have a break and take on water
[possibly my half finished Tiger 1]..and rising up away from the left handside of the vehicle..on the other shore...the rock formation..a tree or two..and a figure perhaps as a point of focus.... im thinking of building a trench in front of and underneath the Flak 38..so i can throw in some dio accessories from the spares box.
Dont worry there will be plenty of barbed wire.....D....
