Worked on the terrain. Added groundwork and foliage.

Spent a pleasant weekend working on this piece. Added more foliage variety. Then carefully placed the main Indian in the scene. The other figures were then added. I placed the scene into the box to test for fitment.

I made up the final Indian and converted the main Indian into a more dynamic pose. Then speed ptd them.

Hi Steve and Grey

thx for yr kind comments. Strong tornadoes continuously try to blow me to Oz but I remain resolute on this trek.

Reworked the bkgd indian a little. Created a bit of real estate. This will be oversee with foliage and stuck to the front of the base. I’ve created a small gully on the base front, hence the piece of wood stuck in front.

Glued more foliage here and there. The gully has been modelled

Hi Louis

Thank you. i think so too. I fret all the time - got to relax .

ive started to paint the bkgd. Bought some Jo Sonja acrylics at a discount and just splashed on an undercoat. Will overpaint with oils.

I tested the framing size. Decided to ‘tilt’ up the base from the back.
Painted the bkgd in oils. Decided to widen the scene. Then corrected all the defects and painted the piece. Adding the final foliage bits before I add the lights. Notice the lake in the bkgd?

 

[Grey Heron]

Very nice work Victor. Your project is looking quite beautiful.

Cheers,
Grey

Victor,

Another spectacular conversion of an artist's vision on canvas into a 3-D diorama!:salute::

Hi Louis and Grey.

thx as always for yr generous comments.

I finished ptg everything and installed the lights. Switched on at night, then added the frame. Notice how the frame bounces the light back into the scene, lighting it further. I tk I’m a lucky maker to get such end results, mostly unexpected.

I have yet to add the dust.

rgds. Victor.

All looks magnificent. Victor !:salute::

 

[Grey Heron]

Wow Victor, the lighting just makes the whole dio pop! Well done!

Cheers,
Grey

Hi Steve and Grey
Tx for yr kind comments. With the correct lighting and AI, one can do wonders.

it’s not over yet. I’m knocking up some tiny bisons for the bkgd. The front legs are made from bent short wires. AI and photoshop will hopefully do the rest.

Here are the tiny bisons drying.

ive added some dust to the scene and cut up and fitted a proper viewing panel.

almost done.

 

[blaster]

Added the teeny bisons. Also added part of a bull to the final scene. Done. I hope y enjoyed the wip and the final results.

rgds Victor
