It’ll be a village so see attached (1/35)City, village, or country lane? How big/deep? Will infrastructure be exposed? Substructure? Surroundings? They all make a difference on scatter.
Excuse us Steven .while I reply to 570.Steven, I think it would be very difficult to model an 'Acknowledgement' of an artillery barrage. Even the smallest of craters would produce a mass of flying debris. The 'cobble stones' would be smashed and flung far and wide. Most of the window glass will be gone.
Perhaps start by digging your hole. Then make enough individual stones which would normally be in place. Break these up. This will at least give you a start as to the correct amount of general rubble.
Try and get the effect of such an explosion in your mind's eye and start to transfer this to your model. Plenty of scope for sure.....

My apologies but I
Hi Steve,Have you considered looking at actual WW2 photos or more recent conflicts such as Kosova, Lebanon etc, etc? There are often newsreel pictures recording the devastation. Also, don't forget the substrates - road construction is layered, crosses small areas of contrasting soils and contains 'services' such as drainage, main sewerage, electric and gas piping etc, etc! An extra thought, debris does not not generally fall uniformly around the crater but rather is 'splashed' in the opposing direction to the incoming projectile!

Tim,You could always make a test piece Steve. That way you get to play with ideas without ditressi the main dio?

Unless it's something like a mortar shell I can't see the hole being very small.
Yes I’m beginning to think this may be the way to go. I’ll give it a practice on an old piece of StyrofoamSteven. What about just some general damage. Chunks out of the road surface, masonry/ woodwork, broken glass, that sort of thing.....
A grenade crater sounds more achievable for someone of my experiencePerhaps a very very shallow indentation from a grenade as it would have dislodged one or two stones and left powder fragments created by the jaggered shrapnel.
From the look of the complete shopfront there wouldn't be much debris but perhaps from the opposite destruction of the unseen side near the tank. So many possibilities only you can decide.
Cheers,
Richard
