For the rock color…acrylic paint, lots of water and multi colors overlapping. Do dark color then light then dark then light. Repeat the process until you like it. Did I say lots of water. 😁

Unfortunately the static grass was being problematic with much of the taller lengths laying sideways. I am sure it was operator error. I need to practice more.

thanks…I am my worse critic…always changing things hopefully for the better…once all the vehicles/figures are on there, I think it will look alright. I am going to have a horse drawn field kitchen passing the parked vehicles. There will be a tank, half track, truck, motorcycle, figures of course and an armored reconnaissance vehicle.

Finished painting roadway. Let dry. Waiting on different utility poles.

Not too big…about 16 inches in width and 32 inches in length

Didn’t like how it looked with the static grass. Waiting on paint so I can finish the road.

l like how fatigued the road looks.

Starting to crack…way cool

I added two layers of gesso over the hydrocal. Then one layer of course pumice gel. I added a layer of crackle paste over the pumice. I like the way some of the areas are void of the crackle paste. Looks like erosion of the top coat of the roadway. Wait for tomorrow to see results of the crackle paste.

Added more grass to the embankment. I am trying for the wild grass look. Once it dries I will comb it. I knocked one pole over simulating a vehicle impact. I don’t like the way the road looks. I am going to try a different method. .

Have to rethink the concrete. Not liking it at all. Going to try a different technique so I might have to scratch this one.

Threw diorama in the trash can and started a smaller version. Adding weeds/grass between cracks. Hydrocal is drying should be a light gray.

Yes it is

Working on color for runway

Poured foundations and made AA emplacement from foam mold. Will pour runway tomorrow.

Honestly I don’t believe there is a market for built dioramas. However, if anyone is interested😁. Today I went to Lowe’s and bought a 4x8 sheet of pink insulation foam. I cut it to make the 2x4 foot base. I will start laying out the runway and make the foundations for the buildings.
