Demonsub's Dragon Diorama
Building the Build
After cutting out the plasticard with a heavy duty craft knife (a 25 year old stanly knife) I added a layer of cork to give the whole thing a deeper presence. The cork “rocks’ were glued in using a hot glue gun and the resin ruins were glued in place with super glue.
I then added layers of cork board to give different heights.
I used a Mantic terrain crate tree I’d already painted and don’t mind painting again as it’s a very simple job and looks good at 15mm scale.
Here’s what I got from all of that.
Next it was time to smooth the transition of the layers of the cork for the hilly parts. For this I used some ready mixed filler.
Once this was dry I used smaller stones and aggregate in various places to represent fallen stones and rocks and make things look more weathered.
Fine stones and sand was then added across the rest of the terrain leaving a clear spot for a track. I plan on using a finer sand or texture paint for this later on.
Once dry I used a thinned down pva mix to seal all of the texture so it won’t fall off later.
That’s it so far. Here’s a few shots I took with the miniatures added.
A great concept in 15mm! A compact and excellent snapshot of a scene, that also tells a whole story.
Thank you, kind words. It’s been really fun to do so far.
