Desert Diorama

[HL-10]

I had an idea for a diorama and started to plan, and build for it a while back.

Alas, my idea was for something that would be too big and two models had to be left off.

The building started off as Airfix's desert out post.

I thickened the walls with plastic card and rebuilt the roof with balsa and wooden drink stirrers.

The figures are a mixture of Tamiya, Dragon, and Tristar.

The base is a canvas picture base on to which I added card and general purpose filler.

The base was painted with Humbrol enamels and weathered with washes and pigments.

The matt varnish didn't matt the paint which is why it looks more like a beach or just after a heavy down pour so, I will have to give the base another cote of varnish.

I assume you photographed this outside. The composition and lighting are great and the diorama really tells a story.

That looks great. I'm wanting to do more dioramas, so find this hugely inspiring

this is very good.

The pose and painting of the figures is superb.

I actually like the look of the sand. The 'just rained look' helps to explain the lack of dust everywhere.

Great work.

Superb dio and natural looking figures, and excellent depth of field on the photographs to give it an even more realistic look.

Lovely Dio there and lots to see.

Have the VW and like what you have done to it.

Well the effect of the ground is fine, as it rains out there and it can be heavy at times.

Like the building, so natural.

Cheers foxy
