Getting Started- Diorama
The first design for Diorama
I used standard plaster of paris for the floor and cast the wall elements. With hindsight they were way to heavy and took ages to dry. Next time a frame and just an outer coating
Heres the Diorama drying
Here is the Undercoated outer shell with a test Humvee i made first just to try out techniques
Started shading
Paint over shading and build up of rocks using modelling clay
My first go at using AK Interactive Asphalt and Sandy Desert . Could be better but came out ok for what i wanted
Eating down some early marking closed with Semi Gloss coat clear.
Started the Ground Grew equipment and tractor- test fit
Lines all done - shame to dirty all this up.
Starting to dirty it up a bit with Oil paints and some pastel rubbings.
Now with added Tamiya Humvees with basic undercoats

Album info
I will post here some of my first "fumblings" on starting and finishing the project. The first part is the Diorama .There will be some glaring mistakes and inaccuracies but I'm keen to fix, adjust and learn as I go along. I have not undertaken any scale modelling since 1999 so Im very rusty and also being introduced to many new techniques and supplies... I mean you can get pre made Asphalt now which has opened up the world for me.
