Title: Supernatural TV series diorama WIP Project.
Post by: Legionnaire on May 04, 2023, 08:03:01 AM
My daughter and I have recently started watching this series and really enjoy it. I had a bit of inspiration and working on a diorama. Waiting for two more models, but this is what I've got so far. The scene will be a cemetery, with Sam, Dean, Baby and the Yellow Eyed Demon and a female Jason Voorhees 😁.

Splendid!
Great idea for a campaign every episode is a scenario.
I tried to interest crooked Dice in a set of figures years ago.

A good start (please can you have another go at the photographs, they are a bit out of focus).

I look forward to seeing that graveyard.

Bit of progress made. It's a nice touch that the kit comes with 20 gravestones in five different variants. Patience is a virtue and I took my time glueing all the frail bits together.

A bit more work done today. The last two miniatures for the diorama primed and ready, did some addition to the scenery

The last two miniatures for my diorama painted up, awaiting drying, varnishing and basing.

Army painter Speed Paints and their Flesh Tones Set used.

Lovely painting but seeing this reminds me of my original complaint when these figures came out. Sam should be much bigger than Dean. Anyone who has watched the programme knows this.
They are commonly referred to as moose and squirrel!

They look great! Nice work on the graveyard. My own 28mm scratch-built graveyard finally saw the tabletop this weekend...  :-*

Thank you for your kind words Sir. I know, when my daughter and I started watching the series we found it slightly hilarious that "short" Dean is 6' tall! Taller than my 5'10"  :D. But I still think the Hasslefree miniatures were lovely to work with, nice sculpts.

Thanks a lot Sir. I don't paint much these days due to chronic pain issues but I invested in a cheap headset with magnifiers that's been a game changer for my painting efforts.

I have a bit more of detailing I want to do on the graveyard, awaiting scatter as moss that's going to be applied to varies bits. I also would like to have an eerie green/ evil red lighting effect emanating from the crypt on the walls but have no idea how to go about that.

Also seeing your own new post, I find myself thinking about scratching that PA itch, maybe Zona Alfa

Done a bit more work on the graveyard, nearly calling it done. Really enjoying the creativity and the project.

And just about done!

Nice work on the figures and the graveyard.

If you want to create a larger graveyard, I suggest Cavalry bases (25x50mm) and tombstones (MDF or Renedra plastic ones). You can then place them on your board.
The bases can be flocked to match your board (or slightly different to show the disturbed soil),

Cheers mate. And incidentally, the next diorama project I want to do is the final scene of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" so definitely a need for lots of gravestones 😁

Great details on the graveyard -- especially the carvings and vegetation growing on the stonework!  :-*

Thank you very much did your kind words sir. I really enjoyed this project and learned a lot in the process. There might be a few added little details in the future as I got inspired

Really enjoyed watching this project come together - great stuff!

Quick question - where did you source the car from?

Glad you and your daughter are enjoying watching “Supernatural”. Makes me want to start binge watching it all over again!

Cheers mate, I really enjoyed making it

The car I got from eBay, "1:43 1967 Chevrolet Impala pullback toy". Probably paid about £15 as I had to order mine from Thailand but it arrived in 10 days.

Just finishing off season three now.

Fab looking setup. Love the characters as well. If your after more different gribblies. I'd recommend some of the monsters by Crooked Dice they do a great Bigfoot and there demons, ghosts and giant bats are pretty cool.

Cheers for the encouragements mate, I really enjoyed this project. As such it is now done, might do something else in the future so will keep your advice in mind 😁.

Love the graveyard - it's eerily reminiscent of WizKid's Pathfinder Battle pre-painted graveyard set, which I have.

Really cool idea to do a diorama.
I've considered doing something similar in a year or two when my gaming painting has wound down.
