The idea for this diorama came from seeing one of the figures in the build. The two ladies have pulled over to exercise their dogs, at the side of a gravel road, as they head into the mountains of north west Canada. Hope you enjoy these images. Thanks for looking in. -
Hello dio builders, This isn't exactly done, but it's close enough. it's also a base, and not a dio - no figures. I've been waiting for a sunny day to get some outdoor photos - today was hazy - but, I was impatient. I'll take these all again once it's sunny and clear. For now though, I used the photos I took in the hazy light, and cropped them into some screen shots from a trail ride that occurred this week in Utah! Happily, there were several videos shot and I could weave my truck into the little convoy. Unhappily, while my topo looks fairly red while looking at it in my work area, well, in the real landscape - nah, not nearly red enough! A guy could go ahead and to the right thing, and airbrush, or drybrush on some more red....? I don't know...OK, have a look: And off we go, through some gentle topo, and into something a bit steeper: climbing up higher! over the ridge Into the valley and out! This was a fun project - the truck received lots of modifications, including posable suspension, so, the bas was made to illustrate the flex of the axles over different terrain. If you notice in the first picture, there is a big gap over the left front wheel, while in the last, the the gap is over the right front - same for the rear. The cast stones have just enough variation to allow this to be shown. I have pondered making another base that has more dramatic changes. I chickened out this time! 😀 The graphics use pretty simple software: jpegs from my phone, snipping tool for images from videos, Photoscape for cropping, Photoscape X for cutouts, and powerpoint for the final images. I couldn't figure out how to sample the red soil, or my base dio for that matter, to change the other images - oh well. This was a lot of fun anyway! I wish I'd been on the actual trail ride! Looks like it was a lot of fun - Thanks for having a look Cheers Nick
