Glen takes us step by step through the making of this diorama. Ever wonder how to make something like this? Well, here it is. A terrific step by step tutorial .

Glen has made a whole lot of dioramas for us. You can check them out here: Glen's Dioramas

I made this diorama for a show (http://heyevent.com/event/zxvq2plyd3rwga/the-upottery-military-experience)  I have been asked to put on, which has a special guest attending Helen Patton granddaughter  of General Patton this July. Hence my previous diorama and now this one.

The kits used:

• Tamiya M4A3 75mm Sherman Late Production with figures 35250,
• Graveyard set and walls from Great North Roads http://www.greatnorthroads.co. uk/
• Plastic Card
• Precision snow and ice, plus their new item snow wash which I highly recommend http://www.precisioniceandsnow.com/store/p10/Krycell_Ice_and_Snow
  
  

Here is the base showing plastic card for road, air dry modeling clay with imprint for the wall and gravestones

Base showing position of wall and gravestones, you need to remove them whilst the clay is drying out, these can be fixed latter with PVA glue

The whole base sprayed up with black primer

Even black primed grave stones and wall

Dry brushed the road and grave stones with various greys and dry brushed the wall

Then used static grass and various scatter to make the shrubs etc

About the Snow in this Diorama: Glen has an excellent tutorial showing us exactly how to do this technique:

The Winter Wall Diorama

Glen scratch built this diorama and then did an amazing job of turning it into a snowy scene. See pictures of this project and learn about adding snow effects. And learn how to scratch build a realistic looking wall The Winter Wall Diorama
