Brother Macal:
Hi guys!
I'm terrible sorry, that I cannot post here as much I would like to, but unfortunetly, I hadn't got time for modelling, job change, etc,... But in the christmas / new years season I had a little time to work on some models :) Mostly, I was working on this diorama, Some of You saw it in an other topic, but I thought it won't be bad if I make a topic for this project :)
So, as Everyone can see, this is a bigger Warhammer 40K diorama I've started about two years ago, but sometimes just put on parking lane, when had no time for modeling. It was sometimes 4-5 months :( Btw, it isn't finished, so, when I got time, I will continue working on it :)
The base is relatively big, 40X50 cm. The building is also very tall, about 53 cm. It has been made a very good material, called paratex, very good to work with. It is an expanded PVC, can be bought in tables in 2-3-4-6 or 8 mm wide panels. It's very light, but also strong, ideal for buildings and other diorama stuff. Can be glued with superglue. For the walls, I used corkwood. It's been cut into bricks, and glued onto the surface of the building one-by-one. The cobblestone like texture on the street was also made on paratex table, with a sculpting tool. It toke almost 3 days to engrave it :)
For the scene I used 13 figures, most of them was converted (the GW models always running like hell, and shouting as hard as they can, so had to collect heads w/o shouting expression, and sculpt legs and arms for simple walking / standing). I used Imperial Guard models from GW, except the Space Marine Scout snipers, they're perfect for Imperial Guard also :) The dozers driver is a 28mm heroic scale civilian figure, I bought it on another forum, dunno it's manufacturer...
The models are scratch built, except a few parts, spare parts, and wheels I used from other kits, just as the caterpillars tracks. The dozer was inspired by the Cat D9, one of the most beautiful working machines of the world :)

Few things take more skill to pull off than a diorama and you've done some outstanding work on that building, Brother Macal!'
It looks almost like a double of that church just a few blocks down the road from me. I'm simply in awe of your talent!
You've got me already looking forward to your next update!

Impressive! For me, the bulldozer is the best part of this.

Lovely detail work. The bricks look like cork.
