Dartside Scenics - Dioramas and Models

2 жыл бұрын

Dartmoor stone circles have an air of mystery around them and are very popular with visitors and locals. This was a very simple diorama build and although there isn't a huge amount of detail, taking it to Dartmoor for the final photos really helped to add to the atmosphere.
This diorama gave me the opportunity to work with DAS clay, a range of static grass, weathering powders and acrylic paints.
I hope my video is of interest to anyone who enjoys making dioramas, model railways or war gaming layouts.
I hope you agree that the final photographs demonstrate how easy it is to create something that looks realistic. Why not have a go yourself?

Hi Andy, I’ve just watched this and Luke Towan’s video on making Stonehenge, both are excellent but I think Luke needs to watch yours for the mossy texture you’ve put on your stones. Lovely diorama and beautifully shot, cheers for now Andy, John

Many thanks for this John. A Luke Towan video inspired me to start model making a couple of years ago. Best wishes. Andy

Another great diorama Andy. I've visited quite a number of the standing stones on Dartmoor however it was mostly misty or raining rather than a nice sunrise atb Andy

Thanks Andy. It was misty when I left home but most of it had gone when I got there. It’s a shame as the mist would’ve been nice in the background!

One thing you might consider is replacing the acrylic paint for the first coat with an acrylic ink. I've found that it works better when used directly on something that is plaster based, especially with a little bit of water added to it.

@DartsideScenics 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I’ve seen High Eye Workshop use it so might try it on something soon.

Very simple but effective scene, beautiful final shots. What is the advantage of painting the stones in situ rather than before gluing into the scene?

@DartsideScenics 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. You can do it either way - I think I found it easier to paint in situ on this occasion. I suppose you would need to have enough excess 'underground stone' to grip while you are painting the part which will be seen.

Hi mate, amazing work! Love how realistic you got the stones. Could you tell me what colour of washes you used?

@DartsideScenics Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I think it was a dark grey with a small amount of burnt umber. It seems too dark but when it dries on the filler coating, it’s significantly lighter.
