A Diorama in the making

Been busy trying to finish some stuff, but here's a preview



This is the start of my multifunctional diorama. The rest of the rest can be read in my blog (too lazy to write everything here again. hehe)

Uhhh.. It looks really good so far!
Nice idea with a diorama of an alley
I'm looking forward to seeing this one done!

Looks realy great! Keep on the good work!

Glad to see you survived your bus adventure...more or less.
That's a VERY COOL idea, worthy of theft...a LIVING diorama. The cul de sac makes a perfect display setting for your minis. If you were to add upper stories to the buildings, you'd have a a multilevel display case that would ROCK. WELL DONE!

Hmm, I think you have something there, and I don't mean just the syphilis. har har..... Yeah I'm an arse.

The alley set would certainly use a upper floor so to say with additional windows and junk.
Thanks, more work for me

Thank YOU! That piece is SO inspiring that now I desperately NEED to make my own take on your idea...yet another project .

hmmm.. is it just me, or is the second picture not working?

I get a little white box with a red "X".

Me too

There's just one pic. The first one I posted vanished after 20 minutes for some reason. Can't even see it in the edit for some reason

.... That is kind of weird

/Maikacir

i bet you hand was killing you after making all those bricks lol (speaking from experience)

My whole friggin' arm ached afterward. hehe
That must be one of the more boring aspects of terrain making. Those cursed bricks. But since I haven't figured out an easier way to do it I'll just have to suck it up and keep tracing with my trusty pen.

the other way to do it is to make a brick stamp. i think there's a tut somewhere on the forum. i've been too lazy to make one myself but its defiantly on my todo list

@ Tux- I see we suffer from the same dilemma: Laziness. hehe

Wellp, I've started painting the bloody thing. I've always hated to paint on peeled foam board, but what you gonna do. (open to suggestions). The colors here are not quite as in real life. But the light in here is pretty much crap and my camera has a different opinion about things than I have.
Here be some pics. Enjoy

*Note: The sign above the door in the upper right pic says "Ale & Women", and on the other side is a picture of a tankard.

Niiiiiice!

That is incredebly awesome!
And very Mordheim-ish! Good job!

Now I have the urges to make one my self!

/Maikacir

VERY WELL DONE, my CRAZY Swedish Friend!

Thank you, thank you
I tired to go for a mix of Mordheim and Ankh-Morpork (hence the Thief Guild sign). Now comes the tedious work with all the small details (barrels and such).
And after that, the next set of walls. Not sure what I'll do for the next set tho, but it will come to me sooner or later.

And I will look forward to seeing that!

So I've started with the next set: A Castle/Fort (whichever strikes your fancy) front


Had these walls lying around after a terrain piece gone wrong. Fortunately,
with just a wee bit of cutting on the sides, they fit perfectly into my
diorama-box. Now we'll just have to wait and see what will become of it.

VERY COOL! Could be the City Gates...or whatever. I had checked that out on your Blog earlier...looks just as cool here, even without the Movie Reviews.
Both of these suckers will make GREAT little stages for photograhing your minis.

Oh deary me, someone (whom I don't sleep with that is) is actually reading my blog?
Might have to mind what I write then..... naaaah

Huh, a photo stage for my mini's. I haven't really thought of that (even tho I have used it as one previously). Funny sometimes how some ideas are right there in front of you and it doesn't hit you until it turns into a sledgehammer with a bad temper. I was just doing 'em for the hell of it.
Cheers DeafNala for the hint

OH MY GOD! All the pretty pictures went away...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Later...THEY'RE BACK. HOORAY!
