My 1st dio base (1 Viewer)

[REVWARBUFF]

Having been inspired by many of my fellow Treefrog forum members, I decided to finally try making my own diorama base.

Here are some pics of the initial progress followed by some pics of the fully finished product with a background:

Excellent work. Yes well done indeed and things can only get better as you get used to the materials.

GREAT JOB, WHAT MATERIALS DID YOU USE FOR THE DIRT

 

[REVWARBUFF]

The dirt is real dirt. I dug some up from my back yard. Can't get any more real than the stuff God made!

An outstanding job Mark. Your diorama turned out so good the viewer wouldn't know it's your first crack at making one.

Brilliant mate and nothing beats that feeling of making it yourself and a plan becomes reality, the pics are superb.

DID YOU SPRAY IT WITH ANY ADDITIONAL COLOR?

DID YOU SPRAY IT WITH ANY ADDITIONAL COLOR?

No, I did not spray it with any additional color. Nor did I modify the dirt in any way at all.
