Part 02
Then I start to cover the cardboard with modeling paste:

The stairs...

All cardboar is covered with the moulding paste

To be continued...

DAK TODAY - My own DAK Diorama - 01

I start a new diorama.
The ideia was to use some old DAK figures, equipment and vehicles and join them in a new diorama using new technics. Here goes the first steps:

Start to building the ruined desert house in cardboard

A ex NVIDIA Video Card box...

The prototype display

 

Have the ideia of use a old and bad constructed kit of a Leichter Panzerspähwagen Sdkfz 222 to stay half inside the ruined house

(I dont do this kind of things for almoust 20 years)

Soon I will show the next stage of this diorama.
