Thanks people, these are the first figures i've ever painted really so they're not nearly perfect but i'll improve over time. I'm ordering some stuff this weekend such as grass mats, fencing, maybe stuff for scratch building a house and possibly diecast cars. I'm 15 so I'm completely new to all...

Here we go, finished painting all the figures. Here are some pictures of them. There are 4 sas figures, 3 insurgent figures and 1 civillian. The civilian is a hostage btw. I might get some more insurgents in the future.

Hi people, I'm working on a diorama featuring sas soldiers (See SAS Counter-terrorism in england thread) and the soldiers arrived in the post today but i don't have the right colours, does anyone know a paint that resembles the colour of the blue-blackish uniforms that they use, that uniform...

Hey, quick update. Just ordered four sas figures and four insurgent figures off netmerchants, should be arriving in a couple of days and pics will be up shortly

Those links are brilliant but I can't afford something that expensive so i'll just scratch build instead, thanks for the tip, i think ill make a template in cardboard first to get the right dimensions

Hey people, i decided to put the photos up today because it seems like i won't be getting the new trees and grassmats for a while because i'm going to focus on building the figures instead of the actual scenery. So far i haven't spent a single penny on this diorama, it's all recycled stuff i've...

As some of you may know from another post, I am building a 1:35 sas diorama in england, for this I need to get some modern british houses and i was thinking of scratch building out of balsa wood but i've never done that before and i want to see what else is up in the market before I try that. So...

Thanks! I've improved the road but not enough significant changes to put up new photos, what i'v done is built a little drain, i've evened out the dust to make it more subtle and i've raised the edges on the explosion hole just to make it seem a bit more explosiony :P Well i'm now building curbs...

Right, Here we go! I got my proper camera back, stuck the roads to some plasterboard and made some potholes and a grenade explosion hole. Please leave any comments and any ways of making it more realistic, thanks!

Here are the photos of the road so far, sorry about the quality, my sister is borrowing my camera so i had to use my webcam >.< Anyway, the road isn't completely finished, when its stuck onto the diorama board ill make a pothole. The trees next to it are just to show what else i've done, in the...

PICTURES OF THE ROAD WILL BE UP SHORTLY, just letting the "tar" dry so i can paint on road markings and make a drain and manhole cover

I'm building a diorama with a scratch built english road but i have no idea how wide it should be. Has anyone got any ideas? I'm just talking about a typical 2 way road. Thanks

-PLAN FOR DIORAMA- Re: S.A.S Counter-Terrorism in England Dio This is a plan for the diorama, In real life it will be more stretched out so the camera crew aren't so close, and of course in real life the insurgents won't be lego men. But this is the general plan of what it will be like when...

Wow im looking at the jg miniatures website and some of this stuff looks perfect, thanks!

Hmm i have some extra fine sandpaper in the garage, ill paint it and see how it looks, thanks for the tip!
