roymattblack Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Looks really good. I useful tip for diorama's... Find some little moss clumps - like you see on weathered garden walls etc. Scrape some off with a paint scraper and glue to your base with PVA. The moss will eventually die, but it stays looking like moss. The floors of my Star Wars dio's years ago are made of moss and twigs. It lasted for years in my garage. It's a tip I got from the 'Cinefex' magazine long ago - it's a trick that used to be used extensively in the movies, particularly in miniatures and matte paintings. Roy.

kpnuts Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks Roy that's a great tip and I know just where to get loads of it. Oh and I love the SW dios they look great, but of course they would, wouldn't they. Edited August 4, 2014 by kpnuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
