As part of the recent contest, I decided to depict a 101st AB trooper resting and cleaning his
rifle the day after the big jump. This diorama was actually pretty easy to make. All you need
is: a flat board, insulation foam, spackle, and paint (I used 2 different shades of gray, but if you
wanted to you could use something else.) All you do is cut the foam into whatever shape you
want, glue it to the board, and you're ready to spackle. I chose to spackle both the wall and the
ground. After applying the spackle, I placed the little stones that you see behind the soldier in
the spackle so that when it dried it would remain in place. After the spackle dried, I painted
the entire thing with 2 different shades of gray. When that dried, I applied the "burns" on the
wall with a match by simply holding it up the the wall until I got the desired effect. After all
this was done I applied some model train "dirt" to the ground, a few more of those little stones
to the ground, and then I was ready to set up the diorama with all of the troopers gear.
