The Yard

This scene is similar to somewhere or anywhere in the world. If you have seen something similar or very similar than you know what I mean. The scale is 1:35.

I honestly had to look twice before I saw that this was a diorama, and not photos of a real scene . . .            


cheers,

(narrows eyes) You can be fined for heresy within the temple, y'know. Seriously, that is astonishing work, made perfect by excellent photography.

Great diorama! It really looks like a photo of a full scale work yard. The weathering is just perfect!

Who's Frank?

I use a few ReedOak figures with my models for scale and visual interest, in particular, the French Mechanic, so he's pretty recognizable around here:

He's doing it again!!!  Trying to pass of real world photos as models.

That figure is amazing! Well done. What paint brand did you use?

My thanks.

Thanks, especially coming from an artist like you!

For the skin tone, I used the Scale 75 acrylic flesh paint set over a dark red ink wash. The paint looks like and works just like Vallejo. I think Vallejo, AK 3rd generation or the newer Mig ATOM paints in similar shades would work just as well, or better.

Thank you. I am really not that good with figures but I am trying. I will have to test out the new Vallejo paints. Appreciate the link you posted. BTE, you said you used inks. What brands?

I used the AK Interactive 3rd Generation Skin Ink (AK11221) which is a dark brown, great for shadows.

I also have a very old set of Dr. Ph Martin's Radiant Concentrated water color inks. They're great - when they say concentrated, they mean it - just touching the eyedropper that comes with the bottle against the inside of an airbrush cup is enough to produce a noticeable change of tone in the acrylic paint in the brush.

Someone got out his shrink ray gun again! Awesome work!

He's doing it again!!!  Trying to pass of real world photos as models.

Exactly! It should be banned!




Jealousy rears its ugly head, again.

If I ever build a diorama that looks half as good, I'll be ecstatic!

Fantastic build, mate!

I needed a laugh. Thanks man. Glad you liked it. And yes, you can build a diorama better than this. :)
