Hi friends!!

I suppose the normal option was to build a mountain place or similar, but I prefer to build a small “piece” of an Italian village, without bombs or ruined buildings.....

I’m searching specially two things on this one. The first is a painting exercise with four figures, and the second one is try to build a place with many colours....just play with the vegetation!! I have always think to recreate a credible vegetation is really difficult ops:

The figures look really good and very well sculpted They represent some soldiers of the 10º Mountain Division. I have found some information about their missions, clothes and history (I will publish on the finished diorama thread or during this one O_o). I have added the small Topolino as well

Thanks for looking, comments and ideas are welcome

I think this is excellent already Polux! Your tree looks really good!

Those Dragon figure kits are always quality.

It looks like a nice little scene in the making Polux

Thanks guys and gal

The tree is not mine, is a commercial one!! Is an item from the HO railway complements....Anyway, I want to repaint and modifie it!

I'm thinking, and there is a mistake!!! A big one

The figures are wearing the winter clothes, so, it's not viable the vegetation on flower

I can do it with snow, could be nice I thought

[monica]

[Guest]

Na na! The figure that you see is just a size reference!

On the scene there will be only the four on the first photo!

Those figures look nice, personally I like them with a lot of kit.

The diorama base is looking very good Polux, lots of interesting points.

Is the topolio going to be in abandoned state?

Here he goes again....

Dont you live in the mountains Polux? Can be snowing and freezing up the top and bright summer sun in the valley's

It could be a fun diorama to actually include the guy in shorts. all looking at each other as if to say "What!"
