Making my first diorama
Finishing touches
Next I added so grass to the forest floor.
This was just some basic battlefield Dead grass glued on with some PVA.
Then I referred to a few of my Autumn reference pictures.
- The forest floor is not nearly as green as I portrayed it.
- The Riverside can be quite muddy.
- There are a lot of fallen trees and branches.
So, I set about muddying up the side of the stream.
I used some more Valejo earth texture and some Valejo black vehicle wash for this.
I dappled a little earth texture on the grass to give it a more brown look, also applying some wash to small patches to make things look a little less uniform.
I collected a number of small Oak tree twigs on my adventures and I used these as fallen trees and branches.
Firstly I dipped them in some strong tone varnish.
After waiting to dry I added a little green wash and dry brushed some light green to them.
With my delivery from Fenris I received a few wirly runed stones.
I added one of these to the scene with a bit of random blood splatter atop.
The stone was simply primed in grey, washed with a strong tone, drybrushed green and dappled with a little Blood for the blood god technical.
That was about it really.
I’ve really enjoyed this project and will definitely be making a Diorama again soon.

Finished resultThe final picture was taken in a lightbox with my “proper camera” so it may look a little different to my WiP shots.
