Thanks Mathias!! I trust you are well - I hope that I can finish this dio to your high expectations.

Haha, my high expectations? They only apply to myself, but knowing your work, I'm sure it will result in an interesting scene

thank you Jennifer and Shar - i'm a "work backwards" kinda guy. I always come up with a scene first in my head and then fill it with people. You can see from my past projects I get inspired by a place and then build from there. I don't know what I'm putting in the dio yet - the obvious would be Ukrainian soldiers.

fighting russians - i would need to find fighting ruskies or mash up a few kits
Problem with mashing up kits is that you buy 1 kit just for 1 figure??? - I don't know if my budget will stretch that far

Used Mathias's wire brush trick and distressed the crap out of the balsa, gave it a paint- still a bit to go though. Got some stuff in the mail today. I paid $10 for a packet of dirt - im an idiot.. Oh well I miss out on 2 coffees next week.

Thank you Mathias and Rui - yes the wood turned out excellent. I used the same technique as I would trying to comb the knots out of my dog's tail. Worked out great!! I think this wood is better than my fence in the benz dio.

Made sandbags and added bits and pieces this weekend. Used some of my $10 dirt on the outside of the trench - it looks OK - started some mud on the top ground there to see how it looks.

Wow! Last time I saw this there was only the inspiring pic! That groundwork is incredible!

Thank you all I'm having fun with this one trying new things. I'm happy with the way the mud looks so i'll try it on the floor and bombed area.

I remember paying too much for what was essentially dried grass for my Japanese kugelpanzer diorama. They get us with this hobby stuff.

Help me peepz - I'm kinda stuck on the bombed area. To me the fallen branches seemed placed. I feel the bombed area needs more chaos but I don't know what maybe some small tufts of grass here and there? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I suppose it would depend on the age of the crater. From what I've seen of war pics and playing with M80 fireworks, a fresh crater will be pretty cleared out of anything but bare dirt and root stubs, whereas the more time that goes by, it becomes like a floor drain where debris, run-off, etc falls or gets washed into the crater. That said, I think your bombed corner of the dio looks very good. Those branches may have been "placed" there by the trench occupants after they were blown into the trench by a prior bombardment.

thanks for that mango - I am going to keep adding stuff - maybe even an odd bottle or ammo box or something
