Guys,

Just finished the roof of my very first dio house....comments and suggestions please....

You're doing fine pare! I can't comment on the weathering yet. Wala pa kasing base na imamatch-up yan. The roofs seems A-ok to me. BTW, since a part of the roof is destroyed, might as well add those debris to the floor. I'll add more later. May test pa kasi ako hehehe...

Shonnen: Thanks for the input, I really plan to but currently still painting some of the trusses, di lang natapos kagabi kasi napapapikit na ako. Here is my plan:
1) Add debris to the floors (wood, tiles, damaged furniture)
2) Break some of the exposed roof trusses
3) Put holes in the wall
4) Paint and weather the wall -- isip pa nga lang ako kung ano kulay stonewall hmmm.
5) Damage the flooring
6) Put some burns on the wood and wall
7) Destroy the ceiling -- the small board like wood inside the house will still be painted, and wrecked to simulate damage; just forgot to remove it when taking photo.

I do not know when I will be able to implement all the things I listed above....

Ok! Hope to see that! BTW, have you played Medal of Honor : Allied Assault : Spearhead? There is a nice house there you could use as reference (yung sa first mission pagkatapos mong tumalon).

Also, you're adding a tank right? Have you watched Band of Brothers ep 4 "Replacements"? If so, do you remember the Tiger hiding beneath a farm/house? That's a good reference on how you'll camo your tank.

Just my thoughts. I can't wait to see more of your work.

DAMN! Looking good Warthog. Splinter the ends of all wood beams - then again, you already mentioned breaking them to do that.

Do I smell the Nationals or what? Hehehehe!

You built that from nothing without the help of commercially available diorama products?

If so, that is very cool! ^__^

Wish I could build something like that....Ako kse, atat....Hnde pa nga tuyo yung plaster, natutuwa na ako...AYun tuloy.....>_<

Kaya hanggang debris lng kaya ko gawin....XP

Keep up the good work!

Lone, I can teach you using different materials. Right now, I'm scratchbuilding a building in 1/144. Siguro gagawin kong 10 floors lang muna. I've used styrene sheets.

Hey Warthog,
That's a very nice ruined house you got there. Very Good color on the roof tiles. Regarding the Stonewall. Maybe this will help.

Warthog,

VERY impressive! Galing! The roof is quite convincing. I gotta take lessons fom you,man.

Very impressive scratchbuilding there Warthog. I like the way you made those roof tiles. Keep us posted.

Shonnen: I like your inputs very much...I'll be using the Panther Ausf A I just finished as the tank and you gave me a very good idea about the tank camo...considering that the panther is sand/light brown colored...hmmmm I like it....

No commercially available diorama products involved...just popsicle sticks, spatula and some corrugated board...muntik na ngang maging doll house -- my wife is actually asking me to give it to my daughters as a doll house....

Blitz: You read my mind...that's what I need thank you very much...

GI: nationals? hmmm....not sure.....
