Harry great stuff, I may have missed this as I read about the icicles you made, but what did you do for snow? It looks really good.

Guess that makes me a vampire then Simon (apologies CS :):) - obscure reference). I've taken plenty of inspiration from other Diorama builders on this forum and have applied all I've read to produce what I've....ummm....produced.

H,

I've just re-read my post and it came out the wrong way round :eek:. What I meant to say was that you have provided plenty of food for thought for others, myself included.

Talcum powder.
Again, it was a suggestion that someone mentioned to me. Tried sprinkling it through some fine mesh then fixed it in place with some watered down white glue. Seems to work fine and the diorama smells good too. :):);)

I initially tried flour and it looked good, but someone said it might attract insects. Don't need that.

But if you ever got bored with the dio, you could make some scones with the materials, so I wouldn't dismiss the idea entirely......
 
I just wanted to post some tanks

Hi Guys,
For "Bulge" inspiration, I can't recommend this book highly enough. And hey - isn't that a familiar pose....:):)
Cheers

I wasn't happy with the barricade across the road in the Winter Dio, so I ripped it apart this morning. I think the barbed wire is better depicted now.
Are dioramas ever really finished? :eek::eek:
Cheers

The dio looks great Harry, still makes me cold looking at it. I hope that Kraut freezes there, sorry, couldn't help myself, Mike:)
 
Have been playing with one of my new Desert Dio Bases.
Although they're essentially the same scene, the 2 photos below have slightly different focal points. I'm not sure which I prefer, so och, I'll just post both. :p:cool::cool:
Cheers

And here's a couple more using the new base.
Think the paint, glue, etc. on the 2nd new Desert Dio Base will be dried out by tomorrow. Its completely different from the first 2 I've built.
Cheers

Tell you what Harry, you have nailed the use of backdrops. Perfect blend of dio base in to backdrop photo. Very realistic.

Thanks Simon,
Every time I try something new, I'm learning different ways of doing it.
I'll be taking lots of snaps of the Omani desert in the near future that will also be useful as backdrops.
Cheers

Once again great work Harry,excellant use of backdrops again.:)
