IPMS19 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 An interesting rendition of the Elephant graveyard. The elephant graveyard portrays the act of getting older and being put out to the pasture to graze. I especially like that you began telling the story by using dilapidated aircrafts to portray the elephants, incorporated a realistic pasture landscape with wild grasses and even added figures of sheep, sheepdog and sheep herder. Really a well thought out piece. Great work to you and Tomy!! Belle - Thank you Belle for your comments and for associating my little friend TOMY. You have perfectly translated what I had in mind when realizing this dio.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMChladek Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Wow! It took quite a bit of skill to render all that and make it all fit into place. The best dioramas are the ones that tell a good story at a glance, like this one does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
