The vengeance of Smaug

[Guest]

i like the idea of under water lighting.

one idea could be to use glass, paint the base dark blue to give it depth then pop some form of light in between the base and glass. the top of the glass could be textured with some clear sealent tinted with some blue paint to give it a rippled water effect.

HI to All!!

Here you have a few photos of the figures that can form this diorama. The "enormous" Bilbo, and one of these archers. The first one is very static as the original Bard, very statically also... The archer with hood is fantastic and with very much movement .... but ride was chewing....

Thank you very much for your idea Colin.

Esgaroth .... city in flames wrapped of water .... that I defy....

That's a lovely looking Smaug Polux! I can see how it's going to look really good when it's painted.

Cheers

Hi Polux as Patrick said looking good. You can see where this is going and set on that base will make a stunning display piece

[Guest]

Thank's for your nice comments Patrick and Ian!!

Probably the base will be major, my intention is to create the whole "gangplank" (like draw) of wood!!! Buy barrels of wood, I have also complements of fishing and other objects to create a port effect...

Even I have not begun and believe that it can be a very nice diorama, I'm so happy with the idea that have in mind.

Cheers

Thats a nice looking Dragon, a very good representation of Smaug.

I think the base will look stunning if you keep with the idea you have at the moment.

Plenty of room for your imagination to go wild Polux

Hi to All!!

I have made this gangplank of wood (it is average done, more wood is absent and the weathering), like in the drawing. In her there will be details as the barrels (rum …), a few supports of wood with ropes, networks of going fishing, is even an anchor. The great challenge is to make a small boat of wood for the lake!!! I wait to be able with it ….

I like the diorama so much, though reduced, action is breathed!!!

The black arrow will furrow the skies to reach to the dragoon ….

What will be happen?

Thanks for looking

Ps: May I ask... There's any Samurais, viking or medieval soldiers on scale 1/35??? Only WWII?? lIt could be so preatty work a castle, o a war diorama with "Battering-rams and blunderbusses".(are these names Ok?)

Pardon, I leave me to go...

This is looking amazing already Polux, I can't wait to see it finished!

[Guest]

Hi to All!!

Just a few updates of this litlle dio!!!

I believe that with a good painting of weathering in the wood this diorama can turn out to be very nice!!

I'm preparing the detail of the chains and the barrels, an anchor and nets of fishing also!!!

My failure with the resin gives me doubts if to put a water block or to do the blue fund and to cover with silicone .... The time will say!!!

Thanks for looking!!!

Hi Polux i think with the base just some clear bathroom sealant should do for the water effect. Just spread it on with a spatular or stick in a ripple effect over the painted base in the water colour you want, then when dry should look ok . By the way looking good

[Guest]

Coming along nicely Polux.... i'd go for the clear sealant too ... or even painting some wood glue (PVA) with a little colour in it might work in this dio.
