A little of what you Fantasy

[Guest]

It’s never easy to add new parts on a diorama once builded...but this one fits perfectly!

John, WoW! ...from a vignette to a bignette. :smiling2: Amazing how fast the ideas and construction you have made...you shall henceforth be known as the other "P Day" the Dio Constructor. :smiling6:

Lovely composition and landscaping.:thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

I really appreciate everyone looking in and leaving such kind comments.
I think the new tree is about done now. I will still be adding some floor covering, and maybe the odd mushroom or three.

John,
Just caught up with your fantasy build and the latest additions, it really is coming together and there is so much to enjoy.
Cheers, Mike.

Ta very much chaps. This is still keeping my mojo going on what is for me, a long build.

After endless hours of painting, touching up, repainting etc etc a have now got a bus for my merry band of adventurers.



Nice little model but an "osti de cochon a peinturer" as we might say here. Give me some splinter camouflage at 1/35 any day.

Hi John, missed this before…and what a great looking dio it’s going to be.:thumb2::thumb2:

Great scratch building and I love vibrant colours too, a most welcome change to all the OD and sand.:hugging-face:

With the caravan nearly done I decided some flowers were necessary. This also gave me scope to try another new technique, new to me anyway.

No apologies for stealing this technique from Mr Andrew Belsey. I chopped up some spongey foam in a bladed coffee grinder. I then coloured the foam granules with fabric paint, to prevent them from going hard if I had used ordinary Acrylic. I made some stalks out of thin needles of bamboo painted a suitable shade of green. The leaves were punched using one of these things from green stuff world.



Stuck together with some white glue this is what I got.



I then transplanted these on to my dio.



Easy gardening, beat that Mr Race and you other real gardeners.

Nice fantasy gardening John. Big plus, no pollen to drive ones allergies nuts!
Love the flora man. Rick H.

Hi John
Flowers look good. Great idea to use fabric paint - I wouldn't have thought of that.

Late to this, fantastic work John :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2: - love the torch (flickering?) and the little details on the castle - espc. the
Machicolations.
