Demonsub's Dragon Diorama
Painting Has Begun
I put down some texture paste and a little sand for the track to make it less stoney and rugged. I made suitable gaps for the positions of the miniatures for easier placement when painted. I also glued the adventurers to a couple of wooden sticks to make handling easier for painting.
The terrain piece was given a coat in Halford’s black followed by a light dusting of Halfords grey primer, while the miniatures were sprayed in grey.
I then painted the rocks in flat brown, followed by less and less areas in red leather, then bronze flesh tone, buff and drybrushed in dark sand.
The tree was given a heavy drybrush in dark sand followed by a lighter drybrush of white. The path unpainted terrain was given a light drybrush of dark sand then white
That’s all the painting I’ve done for now.
Stop Press!
This very morning my two painting backdrop books arrived from a recent Kickstarter. I’d been hoping these will arrive before I complete this diorama as I intend to use these to photograph the piece in front.
I couldn’t resist trying out a few shots with what I have so far. I’m really happy with the result.

Those photography backdrops look amazing.
Yes they add so much and I’m really glad I backed the kickstarter. I think they are now available at Bad Squiddo.
