Stefan SchachtHi Mates, here is a update of my project. I build a box of plywood and use Styrodur to create a scene with a cave. Cheers Stefan

Stefan Schachtthe basic paintjob is done. I use Vallejo acrylics for the rocks and pigments for the earth and sand. Now i create some bushes and details for the base. Cheers Stefan

Christian BruerHi Stefan, wow that looks fantastic. I much like the two point of views in your small diorama. Figure is painted with acrylics or oils? Looks amazing!
By the way, I have ordered some tufts of grass for my little WWI vignette:
shop2015.fredericus-rex.de/Green-Line-scenery/
Excellent stuff for terrain modeling. I bought some Germania US civil war figures and a Napoleon gun in scale 1/72 – very nicely detailed gun and figures made of resin. I'll post some photos soon.
Cheers, Christian

Stefan SchachtHi Chris, thanks for the kind words. I had the idea of the cave, as I built the plywood box. So I have more space for the opponent figures. The figure is painted with acrylicsan and Achims workshop on the ISSC was very helpful. Next, I build two small bushes and further details. Cheers Stefan

Dirk SchefflerSuper Dio Stefan, may be its better to display not so may Goblins. Give the Hero with no name a Chance.

Stefan SchachtHi Choppa, I used the 6mm long wild grass and the flock applicator from Noch. You can see that in this promotional video. Youtube Video
Hi Dirk, it's like in the pc game gothic, you never know, hit and run 🙂 Cheers Stefan

Choppa NuttaAh it looks very different from what I expected !
it looks like it's just being squeezed out like a talcum powder bottle and not the electro static grass ?
You've managed to get it nice and dense, I wonder how you made it stand up like that ?
I take it there is a mesh on the nozzle ?
I had a go at making an electro static grass from a bug zapper using 2mm and 10mm grass,
the 2mm went down ok ( I guess ) but the 10 mm was more difficult to get to work.
in both cases though I couldn't get it anything like dense enough 🙁
Would like to know how your applicator works please 🙂
Cheers 🙂

Stefan SchachtHi Choppa, first I apply the glue. Then I have the bottle used, as shown in the movie. The bottle has 5 small holes in the lid.

But I have applied the grass in several steps. After the every Step I turn around the diorama and shaken off loose Grass. In the first step the grass is pushed down and in the last step the grass stand up, because only the vertically falling straws sticking. Cheers Stefan

Choppa Nuttaah I see, neat trick at the end there !! 🙂
Thank you for explaining it to me Stefan 👍
I have had a couple of ideas to help improve my gizmo,
smaller metal sieve and a flat bottom instead of curved, fresh should help as well 😄
But your technique, whilst it might end up using more grass, really does look very effective and it's simple too, going to have to try it out 🙂

Stefan SchachtHi mates here is the next update. The cave guardian is ready painted, but his friends are still on the workbench. Cheers Stefan

Christian Bruerlooking good so far Stefan. Thought the rest of the gang is in the cave and not on the bench😄

Stefan SchachtThx Chris, first i have to paint some details at the goblins 🙂. Cheers Stefan

Stefan SchachtHi mates, here are the first pictures of the finished diorama. Only a goblin had bad luck and fell down from the Diorama 🙂.
Next, I make pictures during daylight. Cheers Stefan

Urban GardiniI love it! As for the Hero I'd say "That will break out a sweat!". There's only one thing that stands out as wrong and that is the sword that is scuptured the wrong way in his hand, it looks odd. But that's not your fault. One question though, the threes! The fiber that you've applied as the finer twigs for the leaves. What is it that you've used for that?

Stefan SchachtThx mates, i use "Filterwatte", sorry i don`t know the english word. This is the material for the filter system of a aquarium. For example shop.vitakraft.de/fi..bShs0CFUlmGwodWjAHHA
Cheers Stefan

Urban GardiniThanks mate! Me neither but the Swedish word for it is really close "Filtervadd"... 😉
