The ground is looking good, but I really like the comm tower.

Hi All,

I did more work on the TB diorama.

I have built and painted the Jet Bomber plane using Vallejo paints and added decals from left over spare ones. The Bomber was made using plastic card and I then ripped the right back wing off to simulate it hitting the tower.

The comms tower was painted using Vallejo Paints and then I used a pair of cutters to destroy where the bomber had it.

The mountians and ground work were given washes of different browns and then a wash of medium grey. I gave the ocean floor a few washes of Vallejo Iraqui Sand and The road to the Comms Tower had been given it's first coat and I still need to weather it and add the lines.

The bushes are from Army Painter and the tree's and small shrubs are from Woodland Scenics.

Ron

Thanks heaps Shawn and I'm hoping that once I do the waves it will give a real watery look to it.

Hi All,

More work done on the TB diorama.

I have added two different types of seaweed to the ocean floor. The tall thin seaweed is dried roots painted a light green and glued on with PVA glue and the small grassy looking seaweed is static grass Dark Green from Woodland Scenics.

I got some non stick cooking paper and dapped PVA around in different sizes and sprinkled the static grass over the glue. I then took the non stick cooking paper out side and blew across the paper to make the static grass standup and once the PVA glue dried I pulled the grass/seaweed off and glued them to the base.

Hi All,

Last update for the night.

Pic's 1 and 2 have had the glass covered with a 70/30 mix of Woodland Scenics Realistic water 70% and Light Green Artist Paint 30% and once mixed it was spread over the glass and left to dry.

Pic 3 shows what the mix looks like underneath and Pic 4 shows how the scenery now has a very light green auroa from the mix.

Pic's 5, 6 and 7 shows the water now with Woodland Scenics Water Effects covering it. It's a little hard to see but the water has very small waves to match the scale of the TB's, I did this by spreading the Water Effects over the first mix and while drying I got a damp baby wipe and starting dapping on a angle towards the large land mass.

Once the Water Effects dries it will be clear and then I will give the waves a very light dry brush of white to bring out the waves. The road has had the lines painted on then a wash of matt black was done to tone down the grey.

Ron
