Hi All

thanks for yr most generous comments on this modest project. I got lucky as usual with this piece.
got to pack up for the Xmas and new year period. Got guests coming and the house has to be spic or I get spanked. Actually looking fwd to it hahaha.

l ve alr started on a few other projects and will work on those elements in hidey holes away from the eye of Sargon. Such is the life of Frodo…. No that’s not a clue.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all

rgds Victor.

Here’s the piece next to my Xmas tree

ive also cleaned up my work place. Avoided aggravating my stronger half

 

[blaster]

I’m sculpting three additional offstage figures who are carrying the icon.

 

[blaster]

The final height and size adjustments for these three figs. All started from the same head size.

 

[blaster]

In between the other projects, I continue to add putty to shape these figs

 

[blaster]

I chked the sizes and had to resize the poses. These fit nicely into the scene now. Adding some details and then will pt them.

 

[blaster]

Slapped some paint on these figs

 

[blaster]

I posed these three unfinished figs into the scene to test for final fitting I removed the frame which would have covered most of the figures but which could still be seen if ppl peered into the scene from the sides. As y can see, the unfinished figs seem to blend in very nicely into the scene.

 

[Louis Badolato]

Looks amazing, Victor!:salute::

 

[blaster]

Dear Louis.

thank you for yr always generous comments. Here’s the three figures being pained and finally, placed into the scene. With the frame in place, these three figs are not seen. However if y peered into the diorama, you can see the sides. I think this diorama is finally completed and I hope that I’ve captured the panoramic scene. Thanks for watching

Victor,

We need to start calling you Cecil B. Demille!:salute:: This diorama has a cast of thousands!! I love all of your dioramas, but this one is especially fantastic!!

 

[blaster]

Hi Louis

thank y for y kind compliment. I actually started off on exploring dioramas with flat tin figures zinnfiguren. They had an extraordinary fascination in themselves and their small size and flatness meant that I could realise large scenes for display purposes. One of the earlier shadowbox dioramas that I explored was with a neckel hafer set of the Golden Calf. I recreated a 10 commandments tribute to one of my favourite epics. Converted the Moses figure to stand on a cardboard rock and just had fun. I learned about staging, wings, props etc. Here it is for yr enjoyment. Rgds Victor

 

[Grey Heron]

Well...Victor, you have outdone yourself on this piece and the beautiful 10 commandments tribute which I watched the other day. Thank you for your wonderful talents and for sharing with all of us here on the forum.

Blessings,

Grey

While I was ptg other figs, I decided to darken up the cassocks of the two front priests, and also the jacket of the women and gentleman behind. Its not obvious but I just want to get the colour tones right.
