DIORAMARAMA!

DIORAMAS & BUILDINGS

No figures can be complete with out some bombed buildings.

There's not a lot for 1:32 Scale available on the market and then

you are stuck with what you buy. What's the answer to the diorama 
dilemma? Good old D.I.Y. that's what. A few pieces of old wood, some 
nails, glue and basic tools and your all set to build! You can build
whatever you like, there's no limit! Here are some 

I made myself over the last few years.

Ruined House #1

This Mediterranean style two story house is built on a plinth,

has a flat roof and large arched window. This model has

been screwed together. 

Ruined House #2

A European style two story house with and attic. 

No plinth this time only a flat floor but screwed together.

Ruined House #3

This is an old two story farmhouse with a garden

and wall. I usually stick a tree in the garden for effect.

Built on a plinth and screwed together.

Ruined House #4

Another Mediterranean style house with flat roof

built on a plinth and screwed together.

Ruined House #5

This is a small two story house built without a plinth, 

tacked together and then glued along the seems.

Ruined House #6

This is the remains of a three story with a flat roof 

that's built without a plinth, tacked together and then 

glued along the seems.

Ruined Bunker

A solid looking bombed bunker on a plinth that is

screwed together.

Street and Wall

This matches the bunker as it is also built on a 

similar plinth and screwed together.

Command Post

A very simple little job that is tacked together and

then glued along the seems.

Rocky Ground

The stones are real and glued to the wood 

base then it is flocked.

Low Damaged Wall

The wall is painted wood and the base is flocked.

The broken wooden beams are left natural.

Bunker

This is made of clay. I picked it up cheap in a

model shop.
