Well i have decided to take a break from the figures for a bit and finally step into the world of dioramas ! I have been wanting to do dioramas for a while but kept procrastinating and couldn't figure out what i should start with .But i found something that would be a bit on the easy side for me , and interesting since this one dio will make two diorama scenes  ! These few photos are very early wips  but i will be adding more when more work gets done.  Any guesses lol Enjoy !

Well it was a productive day ! But for the record i am not liking the mess Styrofoam makes ...Geez  lol so you can see i did alot trimming and got rid of the plastic base that the lars homestead came with . I outlined it in the base and cut away so the stairs would look as if its in the base. I also put it together just to give you all an idea of the scale of the dio, and its big. Once that was done i found a spray paint that simulated a sand look . I sprayed the base; then on the top which you can see i am using real sand. I went to the beach and scooped up a good amount lol. i put a layer of glue on the already painted base then coated it with sand . I am happy with how the effect looks  the hut has a ways to go but i started the basic weathering to it .   I am presently working on the debris and the  sand that the generator sits on . Enjoy

I envy you. I set up the stairs leading down into my "mancave" to be places to build mini and one large TESB Dios and put my ships in that space with the idea I would make other shelves and finally get to building said dios. Daggone it I am gonna do that this winter. This is definitely providing motivation.
