Thanks all for your comments!!!
Took me 3 weeks to do this board and it was rush work and stressfull as
it was my first real attempt making such scenery! In the beginning i had
planned a lot of detailing on buildings (bullets and rockets holes,
stairs etc...) and on the board itself (shells craters, ground road
signalling, street lights...) but i had to make some choices to finish
in time, by now could take my time and do it quiet!
Just to answer Allan questions:
Rubbles were made mixing fine sand + small aquarium gravel + foamcore
small bits + water diluted PVA glue. I use a large brush for floors, to
leave just a small amount of the mix, and put in place on the ground
with a small spoon.
Buildings were cut from 3 mm foamcard boards and based on 3mm MDF.
Spray paint for the whole with black undercoat (10 to 20 cm away),
followed by gray (30 cm away) trying to spray by light strokes and a
final light grey highlight near 40/50 cm away with lighter strokes.
Caution spraying eat the foam so you need to undercoat edges first, i
didn't do it as i was in hurry!
