My first diorama

[Guest]

Posted from my phone so sorry for poor quality pictures and text.


It's under construction, I have used paper mâché and sand so far. Have static grass to add.


Any and all feedback is welcomed

Have you used any pva glue ontop of the sand to get it to stay , and is it going to be a desert scene?


Cheers

Hello, yes I used PVA glue to get the sand to stick. I then used multiple layers of dry brushing to remove the shiney finish.


My plan was to make this Holland, and a cross roads during operation market garden. The ground is brown with a hint of yellow. Nothing is accurate and no research was done prior to this. It was mainly me experimenting

Yes it is 1/72

That's a really good job you have done to date josh ( it's nice that your experimenting but keeping the authenticity of Holland and market garden. I have tried making a copy of a scene from a photograph etc but I think using a bit of imagination and trial and error we get there in the end and its your effort that counts

A very nice start Josh the ground work looks good just make sure that when the Tank is sitting on the ground its tracks are in the ground not just sat on top

[Guest]

I have now added some grass and set the picture frame.

Cheap photo frames from Wilkinson's make great diorama bases - great work so far.

That looks really smart Josh.
