Demonsub's Dragon Diorama
Finishing The Terrain (almost)
I painted all of the ground and path with a mix of Vallejo black brown, game color dark green and flat brown to give a dark muddy brown colour. Model color red leather was then used very thinned down to give variance in tones of the earth.
The tree was given an all over coat of Wyldwood Contrast paint.
The tree was drybrushed in game color beast brown, and a very thinned model color bronzed flesh tone as added in spots for more soil variance.
Finally a green ink wash was added to all of the stone and brickwork to make it feel more weathered.
A simple layer of green flock was added, thinning down when near the road.
Then with guidance from the book Terrain Essentials by Mel Bose I added a variety of clumps and corse flock and a little static grass to give a varied undergrowth.
Corse flock was added to the tree to suggest slight growth of leaves.
Once everything was glued down I added loads of thinned down pva glue to all of the foliage to really saturate it and seal it I place. It was quite messy. I left the whole thing for a good two days, resisting the temptation to touch it.
I’m really happy with the way this is looking. Now it’s time to paint the miniatures and once they’re in place I plan to add a few more tufts and other foliage to finish things off.
Lovely work!
Wow, you were fast, I’ve only just finished uploading the last photo, Ha!
Thank you.
