Your off to a good start! If possible using a display space that is at least 36 inches high is usually best plus good lighting!! Good luck!

Your table is fantastic. It's neat to see the progression. Great figures as well.

Thx for your nice comments. Today I will try to build up some rock formations for the background.

 

[El Pippo]

I finished the rock formations today. As it was my first try with this, I am very satisfied with the result

First I put up the formation with some styrodur, then fill it up with plaster and form out some structures. Paint it and drybrush in 2 steps.

 

[El Pippo]

I made 2 of them. please enjoy.

You are doing an incredible job .... the rock formations came out excellent. :salute::
This is starting to shape up to be quite a nice Wild West diorama.

Can't wait to see what is happening next ....

Hi there.

This weekend I made some more rocks for the diorama:

 

[El Pippo]

added the rocks and some stones and vegetation.

This is so far the result. I hope you will enjoy. I am thinking of adding 2 or 3 military tents SP048 as a camp in front of the rocks and of course more figures ...
