Question on buildings in dioramas

When using part of a building in a diorama, should it be complete?

 

I plan on having a corner of a building in an "L" shape, the building would, in reality, be multi storey, but I am only interested in the outer walls of the ground floor. 

 

Should I put a flat "roof" and connect the back to make a solid , Or is it okay to leave the room open?

 

Thanks 

G

How large of a footprint does your "L" have? Are we talking a giant black block or something like 1/8th of the base?

The short leg is less than 1.5"...

Conceptually I'm in agreement with just leaving things to the imagination. As long as the hint is there that the wall continues on I'm good with it. The one thing I can't stand, and this is common, is unfinished arches. The hint of an arch is okay but if you build it all the way to the keystone and stop it just looks bad. Unfortunately there is at least one kit out there that does this and it gets used a lot.

      B Co 1/33 Armored
      By knarthex
      Bravo 66 to all elements this net,
       
      The Drow returns!
       
      So after a long hiatus, and battle with personal problems, I have picked up my brushes, Sable and Air, again...
       
      Starting off with something rather simple, an armored task force for the Game Team Yankee, a WW III TABLETOP game(in 15mm scale), that if the war scenario in the game, and book by the same title, the members fighting in that fictional war would have included yours truly, as I was an M1 Abrams tank crewman in Germany on August 4, 1985...
       
      So the first group is of afore mentioned M1s, after assembly and priming, they were base coated with Tamiya XF-67 NATO Green, using my Grex Genesis airbrush.
      Next was to add the Black part of the NATO 3 color camouflage. This was done with my Iwata HP-SB Plus.
       
      The tracks and road wheel rims were then done with Vallejo German Black, and the end connectors on the tracks with a mix of GW Boltgun metal, and Secret Weapon Brown and Orange rusts. This was done with a Ro&Co size 2 brush.
      (thanks to all those that turned me on to Ro&Co!)
       





       
      Sorry for the blurry turret pics, but the gun threw things off, and I haven't done this for over a year...
       
      Not much but it is a new start...
       
      I did a complete force for a friend in 2016, the WIP can be found here
       
      Thanks for looking!

      Working on my Display case
      By knarthex
      So as a lot of folks around these here electronic parts know, I have barely hobbied since ReaperCon, due to brain weasel infestation...
      So for the past few days, I have tried to ease my way back in by working on 'risers' for my display case...
      These are chunks of blue insulation foam, cut to fit on my table saw (what a mess it makes!)
      Then sprayed Grey with Stynylrez primer through my airbrush.
       
      Overall case:

      Started life as the 'wings' of an entertainment center, and I added the LED lights scavenged from work...
      Left side is still in progress... (Top to bottom)



      A lonely DDS2
      a bare section that I sprayed the foam for tonight (The ex suggested that I put figures with a special value to me in it, old characters and such, likely, exchanges and gifts will end up in there as well, and the first 25mm mini that I ever painted. Rest will be underground critters and whatever else I can cram in there to get them off my bookcases....)
      Frostgrave terrain and warbands...
       
      Right side:



      Top is Demons and devils, Undead and pillars, and some of my medal wining Reapercon stuff
      Middle is some bigger things...
      Bottom is Giants and wilderness type critters....
       
      Thanks for taking a peek!

      Australian Bristol Beaufighter Documentary
      By knarthex
      An Australian documentary about the Bristol Beaufighter serving in the South West Pacific during WWII...
       
      Interesting for an American to see something like this, as most documentaries I see are either American, or British....

      ReaperCon 2018 Diorama????
      By knarthex
      So....
       
      Back when I first joined the forums, I found a thread about a certain Goblin painting a limited edition Ral Partha figure that I happened to own, but had been sitting in a box for 15-20 years due to the 'I'm not good enough' syndrome....
       
      Well I decided that I Was Good Enough and set to work, as chronicled by this
      so as at the time of being a noob arround here, I was very encouraged by the multiple responses that I got....
