Here we have a slight departure from the norm, but my son has a school project to build a prehistoric roundhouse so I thought it was time to teach him some techniques and train up the next generation. Here are some pics of today's efforts in the sunshine. Waiting for the clay and glue to dry out now before we weave some coloured wool between the wall posts and add the clay and flock turf roof tomorrow. Then we'll sprinkle some flock around for some grass and add some doors.

We are making a stone age (Neolithic) village diorama - in OO scale, because I have a nice ruler and it'll end up the approximate physical size we want. Our diorama will include a river, the side of a lake, a palisade-bank-ditch village, and a mixture of stone and wood houses. Plus gardens, paths and pasture. Grand plans, obviously - but we have to start somewhere. We've started with some stone houses roughly based on those at Skara Brae, in the Orkneys. We made walls and posts out of fimo, scribed in the dry stone outlines, and baked them. We then made latex moulds, and used plaster to cast lots of walls and pillars. Some are now painted, and ready to be assembled. Top of the photo is a plaster wooden bench - just the top so far. Also made from fimo, latex mould, and cast in resin plaster.

Hello I've jot a whole stack of Dinosaur kits to make - some of which you may have already seen on the forum as part made kits. Mrs P and her beautiful Lady Brachio inspired me to get on and start some of the easier Tamiya Diorama Kits I have had kicking around. I've taken both my Triceratops Diorama Sets and combined the bases. The Triceratops kit offers 2 leg pose options so I have made one of each and cut off the neck and repositioned the head and angle of the 2 main horns on one of the kits. The Tamiya box shows 2 colouring/marking options which works well for a male and female setting. I have the Tamiya 6 pack of Velociraptors which I have also used - the Triceratops kit comes with 3 per kit which leave me 6 left over for other ideas later on with other kits. The Velociraptors have a number of limb and torso pose options you can select. My intended diorama is meant to show the male and female Triceratops being chased along by a pack of 5 hungry and invasive Raptors. I've left off the fish and amphibians that come with the kit, along with the pond water etc as I am happy to work with Vallejo's Water Effects to replicate rushing water down a central stream in the base. Adding shades of green to the plant leave template sheets basic belly and back under tones applied Vallejo Water Effects applied in raw form prior to drying clear more to follow on soon - and thanks for looking in John- 20 replies
