Hello,

I apologize in advance for my English.
I make a diorama Halo on this time, a diorama that takes place in the city of new mombasa.

I'll post pictures of progress with explanations of each step.

That is how my diorama born: paper and an idea

The ground

Building

The building kit

----------

Impact of a Covenant mortar fire

In the city here are palm trees, here is how to make palm trees
(Wire of paper, tape, string, plaster and paint)

----------

----------

----------

----------

----------

Painting:
for trunk : Flat Black => a thin layer with Flat Earth => some spots of Flat Brown => drybrush with Brown
for leaves : several thin layers of different green => layer very dilute with Flat Yellow => satin varnish

The suite will be for another time...

Very, very nice! If you can maintain the creativity that you had with the palm trees and building damage, this is going to turn out amazing!

Thank you guys for your messages.

Now that the palms are over, I make another accessory diorama.
It's a small thing, quite simple: the human shield.

The model is first made of cardboard

----------

Then it is hardened with resin and fiberglass.

And for the thickness, I put a layer of plaster.

It is not finished yet, I do not have anymore plaster I have to go to buy it

Hello guys

sorry for the delay, but this week I had a lot of homework so I have not had time to work on the diorama.
But today I have a little progress.

So here's the window of my building

Here the destruction of the glass

It remains to be painted and dirty window

I also made a small accessory to the city of New Mombasa : a bench

Ooh yeah dance with me !

Tomorrow there will be new photos
