Dioramas
Boat
Another sea diorama with a boat, a seagull and the sea
Seascape #12
The biggest i ever did, premiered at SMC 2024
Icescape #4
Sort of a challenge with ice and snow and lighting, it seems noone understood it when i aired it here and there, you have to see it on real to appreciate.
The King
That diorama is situated in the Philippines in a derelict Spanish colonial house, the damaged furniture was fun to create. the king himself is a Great Hornbill.
Angkor
A few weeks ago I was writing about how you need a complete idea before launching yourself in a project. Sometimes it takes me decades to get to that, but at other times the scene appears all ready in my head in a flash, and that’s the case here. I saw that bassin that is
Waterscape #6
The techniques for doing water from a stream are quite different from those that apply to the sea
Sawfish
That one is a story of a year old failure at doing a good diorama with that #sawfish I modeled some time ago. Once the resin basically failed, another time the diorama was just not good enough. And that one here I dropped 2 days ago on the tiled floor. And then here it was,
Seascape #11
Baskunchak
Baskunchak is a salt lake not very far from Ukraine.. The colours took me several weeks to fine tune.
Tropics
Here’s a diorama I intended as being a cliché of everything nice and summer related, a holidays feel. the scale is more reduced than usual. I don’t know whetehr 1/48 or 1/72 would be best to qualify it.
Scotland
I absoluteley don’t know whethere there are such paths leading to the sea in Scotland. I based that diorama on a picture I found on Instagram but couldn’t remind where it was shot. I’m particularly happy about the colouring despite the subdued feel of that scene. Finally I absolutely love to add herons in my
Baltic
When the summer comes, I start again creating water related dioramas because the epoxy resin dries better. Here’s another Northem Sea diorama complete with driftwood and a bit of dark sea. Payne Gray rules!
Northern Seas
Some Northern sea is did last October. The biggest seascape I ever did yet. Inspired by pictures taken on the Lofoten islands, near Norway.
Frigate
That’s a very simple scene with a frigate bird and a light blue sea. I love doing such dioramas in the summer, before going to holidays.
Tropics
The first of the tropics series. the idea is experimenting again with colour depth, epoxy resin sculpting and waves painting. Summer jobs..
The Swimming Pool
That one is based on the picture of a woman bathing in ice.. a good pretext to model ice and to play with colours
Sweden
1/35 Northern sea diorama based in Sweden, complete with little boats and another Heron! The little brother of Kamtchatka diorama
Kamtchatka
The little brother of the Sweden diorama. Different lattitudes and rocky shore and a nice blue sea.
Seagull
Another one of my best seascapes because it’s simple and has a seagull. My epoxy resin work at its best.
Scotland
The first of the Scotland dioramas I did, the second one was created one year later. One of my best seascapes so far compleet with lighting effects and rocky seashore yet again.
