Roman and other dioramas

[Tiberius Clodius Corvinus]

first time on this modeling thing, that's why I'm a little lost

uh, I see. I thought you have a special problem.One thing I'd suggest, you make a ruler that shows lengths in your figurines scale. This will help you, to observe realistic distances in the diorama.

(sorry, I cant' find the official site)

Thanks for the link, but there are no actual figurines to see ... anyway, its hard to assess something just by viewing, but once I owned some from Tamiya, and those are really good (at least the WWII kits; amazingly great modelled faces) if you want to be on the safe side.

all the best,
