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.

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,

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.

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!

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.

Tropical sea 1/35 diorama, very blue!

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

Another one of my best seascapes because it’s simple and has a seagull. My epoxy resin work at its best.
