Hello again!
I just finished an other project, and thought some of you would like to take a look.
Models and accessories are not glued and have to be embed later.
All comments are welcome, as usual.
Enjoy the images.

WOW

Impressive work, you have done here. You just need some vehicles and figures and you have a winner.

Thank you for sharing

Ole

Superb groundwork for sure. I would personally like to see some more rubble?

Looks really good Dimitris. I like the look of the roadway and bridgework. Your use of pigments looks bang on.

Thanks for your kind words.
Here are some useful images from the construction progress.
Cobblestone and sidewalks are from my molds.

Very nice indeed!! The amount of rubble seems fine, with the bridge being out, the street/road parallel to the river had to be cleared to allow traffic to get to the next crossing point ASAP without going back thru the city. The entire scene has a realistic dusty, gritty look from the surrounding damage.

Looks good but you can never have too much rubble and dust in a shelled/bombed urban landscape. Pretty well everything is covered in dust.

Awesome Diorama. Waiting see completed model.. Can you show us how you did the molding . I would like to do it myself for my diorama..

Looks very nice Dimitris. I like the dusty effect. Im assuming there will be figures added later. The scene needs more "life".

Hi all,
@Robert, could be all completely covered with dust and ruins - believe me
But for the sake of a more artistic look the dust must be used sparingly.

@Vivek & Franck, as you may didn’t noticed, it is a commissioned work, so the final modeler would put his own models and he has to do the final unify (integration) and to give it life
At such a huge synthesis, I usually provide him with some of the stuff I've used, as soil, bricks, and extra accessories to help him.
Here are some samples of my molds, comblestones and sidewalk plates. Actualy these are almost 2 years old, and I have to make new ones - when Ι find time

Hi Dimitris

Well done, I like the dio a lot, nice colours and atmosphere.
The only thing who struck me immediately are the street lights. I think using one of them my be entirely enough.
From a light and energy point of view, using two off them at this short distance is not logical.
Some nice moulds you have there also!

Dimitris,

It's easily understandable why someone would commission your work!!!!

I love your palette!! Your brickwork on the building is just perfect!!!

You could know that I'm the "rubble man", but I see your point too! Maybe a clever compromise could help!?! I would increase the pile on the corner. It's the edge anyway and you could not have that much action there anyway! What say???

Whatever the decision, this is a great composition....and "artistic" is definitely fitting as an adjective!!

Cheers

Romain

Cheers Claude,
You have right, regarding the light poles, and thanks for that.
I'll just provide two of them as option, and it's up to the final owner, to use them all here.

Cheers Romain,
You have right, regarding the corner, and thanks for that too.
The owner has to keep it in mind, when add his own contribution
