Operation Mercury - How to build a WW2 1/35 diorama from scratch

In this video I show you how I built and painted this Operation Merkur Crete diorama for my Dragon Models Fallschirmjager in 1:35th scale. (In the first video of this series I built and painted these.) I here show you how you can build a base from styrofoam using a hot wire foam cutter and other materials, and also paint and weather it. Details like the tree were also built from scratch. I hope you find this video usefull, I would love to hear your thoughts and looking forward to your constructive criticism.
