carchub Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Part 2 of a gift to my dad. Already built the GTO, but now he wants a shelf diorama! My first time using acrylics, and I'll be using some things that don't come out of a box. The acrylics I'll be using These blocks came from a marble track set =P Gotta get this done by christmas! All ideas and thoughts are welcome, there'll be daily updates!
carchub Posted December 20, 2010 Author Posted December 20, 2010 It's going to be like an old car parked behind a shed, everything weathered and stuff. I got some fake plant stuff to make like a draping branch come down over the shed.
charlie8575 Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I like the concept. Looks good so far. Charlie Larkin
carchub Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Okay, updates. Wasn't much of one yesterday so I didn't post, but here's one. Got some makeshift grass down, probably going to get some moss from the yard to add soon. Came from a shoe box This'll be the roof of the shed, gotta weather it still. I'm not to sure about this piece though, might get something different. Any ideas? The mom helped me out with painting the sky, soon I'll get a tree up. Modeling the roof
crazyjim Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Better get going if you plan to finish for Christmas.
carchub Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Better get going if you plan to finish for Christmas. Almost done =)
carchub Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Small update, almost complete! Got this idea for making dead leaves on the 'ground' with paper. I know you may say, 'Fairly good weather for winter!' but I decided just to make the tree I painted a dead one, not a tree in the Fall season. There'll be more 'leaves' and I'll get a bit of moss from outside to add to it. Gettin' there
crazyjim Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Keep goin' Roland. You have less than 25 hours before it's Christmas Eve. What are those 3 things with the holes in them?
carchub Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 What are those 3 things with the holes in them? Those are little marble tracks, the holes are for the marble to drop into another track I'll be filling those in with some wire mesh to represent air vent in a shop. All three of those tracks are supposed to be the back of a shed, but just part of it.
charlie8575 Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Looking good. This is a nice idea for a simple, but effective diorama. Charlie Larkin
