Making my first diorama
A base of operations
So expanding on the centrepiece I needed a bit of a base.
I bought a pack of 5 black A4 foamboards from ther range at a bargain price of £4.
To get the paper off these was a bit of a pain and I eventually dipped in warm water and picked off.
I did try and remove by heating with a hail dryer which worked to an extent until the hair dry was confiscated from me due to a burning smell.
After removing the paper I carved it into a nice shape with a hobby knife and made a little channel for a stream using a multitool.
I was careful to cut the chanel top to bottom to show the flow of the stream.
The whole base I then covered in Valejo earth texture and a black vehicle wash.
