Hi all, ihave just begun the construction of a new diorama. It will be set in the golan heights, I am in the process of constructing a destroyed building, might actually do one more after this. It is made from 5mm foam board, here is my progress so far.

This is the effect iam going for.

Nice idea Scott and a great start. Is this from the Yom Kippur war, or a later date?

 

[noble]

Set next year, I have an idea but I need to fully work out the details yet. I will be using my merkava III and a bmp 1. Otherwise I am not sure yet.

That was going to be my next question. Is a Merkava involved, but you've already answered it

Where do you get your foam board from Scott?

constructing a destroyed building

Anywhere else except a model forum, and you might cause some confusion with those words...

I bought two packs of A4, 5 sheets each pack from the range, they cost me £10 total and I can get two buildings out of each pack.

Hi guys some further progress on the structure hope you like it.

Ahhh, is this the paper covered foam core? I use that as a base material.


Lots of YouTube videos show an uncovered foam that can be carved or scribed. I assume this is a high density foam like insulation but I don't know if it is available in thin sheets.

That's the one graham foam core.

maybe Graham ,the one you are thinking of is called depron, is what I use,mostly use to make planes out of ,

You have my interest.

 

[noble]

Thanks kind folks, on the areas of bare grey foam I will inscribe a brick pattern into these areas, then they will get a coat of pva to seal the foam. Once this is complete I will stiple the whole structure with filler and paint once dry.


Scott

 

[Snowman]

Looking the business!!

 

[noble]

Thanks snowman ⛄ all the grey foam has been sealed, once its dry I will stipple on the filler.


Scott

 

[noble]

Hi all, today's progress I have added some crumbling concrete floors and a bit of texture to the walls with a stippling brush and some household filler.


Scott

 

[Fenlander]

Interesting to see where this is going. I just don't have the imagination to start something like this, maybe as I do more it will come.

 

[noble]

Truth to tell graham this is my first time, bit of a structure virgin. If ican do it anyone can.


Scott

 

[Deleted member 4539]

This looks great Scott.You even have rebar in the concrete blocks

 

[noble]

That is paper clips, straightened out and pva d in place.
