Great shots, nice work. What are the dimensions of your base? Any tips on where to get materials?

Most of the items are or were avialable from different brands such as 21st, PTE, BBI, Eversaprkle and others.....it is a matter of looking around and trying to use your creative eye to see if you can come up with something that resembles the 1/18 scale.
The diorama base panel is an 8' * 4' Hurricane panel, hahahaha!
i started 2 years ago with a plain field and with i added some basic 21st buildings, later i added some other buildings and even made a few two-stories...now I actully have some 3 & 4 story buildings in the diorama....which gives it more or a city in ruins effect.
take care and hope that this info works for you.

Hello!

Thnaks for all the replies.

as for the question:

All the figures are regular figures, but some I did change parts on them....but no painting. Just a matter of playing doctor with figure parts..hahaha!

take care.
