My Christmas Diorama Chapter 1

[Barbo]

Hi, my two sons (27 , 23) told me that they don't want a Christmas tree in our home this year , they want me to do a Christmas Diorama . So I started my new project . I built my castle 24" tall and has a base of 12"x 12" , its made out of foambard ( my favorite material) paper napkin tubes and paper cones . I will paint it with Stone Textured Finish from American Accents , this spray paint is great for roofs in dioramas . I recieved a broken G scale train from my niece , I cleaned it and fix it like new . Now I am bulding a snowy montain ....lets see what happens in our next chapter....Barbo

Okay, I love the Shell station, but I have to poke at you a bit. It is no where near realistic with THOSE fuel prices

Barbo, her is Stone Fleck stone sprayed on Foam Core so as to replicate a concrete look.

Sorry to tell you (MCM Friend ) , but it is a photo of a real sign in Caguas , P.R. we dont sell by the gallon but by the liter . It is called scale photo modeling , and just for incase, the sign of the water and air pump is in spanish ,its also done from a photo , I learn more asking and not poking.....Barbo

Hi ED Shaver , how did ytou do it , I always have to paint a water base paint (acrilic) before using the texture flake paint over foam core , if not, it melts ...Barbo
