I made this house from styrofoam,wood,plastic,mortar,fiber material, paint and what ever I could find. Burnt wood look is paint. I started making WW2 Style dioramas in 2004.

Looks good Nick, very good sense of action and flow..
One thing I noticed on your building (or rather the corners of) is the bullet damage. They have a little 'crater ring' around them, which you won't have with masonry, because it chips. I would also add a liitle bit of rubble inside the house, as the floor looks to clean. I realy like the way you have painted it all, that looks like real burnt wood from where I sit..

Cheers

Thanks, I think a few German soldiers were there before the Americans and they must have swept the floor. Ha!

Fantastic. Though I have to reiterate the need for rubble on the lower floor and something - maybe a gray wash - to dull down the wood.

Off with the bad, onto the good. I love the damaged windows. The shutters, pockmarks, and the rubble all looks awesome.

P.S. You maybe missed an image. Your first image is blank. Normally i go to the HTML code and see what you entered to check for mistakes, however there is no image to correct it just looks like you clicked the [IMG] tab and forgot to add the image URL.

Ciao Morbshock,
It looks dirty, destroyed and wrecked. Absolutely perfect!! Great job!! For just starting last year, you sure did a number on this one. Like Warthog asked, what scale is it?
Ciao for now

Now that's a house ruin! Very nice indeed, wonderful detail shown here! The curtains and the burnt wood are great effects, well done!

Thanks guys. The scale is 1/32. I'm working on a clean house/nothing burnt or destroyed, just a few bullet holes and boarded up windows and door. When I finish it I will work on a rumble extravaganza! Ha.
