A little Diorama
« on: 27 January 2012, 01:34:38 PM »
Hi everyone! =)

Yesterday, no, the day before, i tried an experiment using a very secret technique (I'll release a tutorial soon!) for a realistic way to obtain medieval-reinassance style glasses for windows and stuff.
Now, since i was REALLY pleased with the result, i started sculpting a little diorama, to enhance the potentialities of such a great glass.









I had to put a miniature behind the diormaa, since with a flat white background the glass isn't that effective.

Please, feel free to comment, both on the glass and on the diorama. It took me approx one day to complete... i've to say that even though i'm pretty fast to sculpt and assemble stuff, i'm definitely slow at painting! :P


(WIP picture)

Hope you like, comments are welcome!

Forgot to say: all the resin parts of the diorama have been sculpted by me, and available for purchase as well! =)

The glass works really well.  So, who is lurking on the other side of it?

What a fantastic tutorial!

I am sooo glad that I am moving off of my Mordheim project, or I can see myself spending far too long adding broken windows to everything!

It is a fantastic idea, and I WILL be giving it a go when I go back to making more scenery.
This would be perfect for adding some more realism, especially to the church/temple.

Thank you very much for the tutorial.
You are a genius, sir!

 :D

This is another great tutorial from you. The glass looks excellent. I have filed this away in my head as a new technique to try one day. Really appreciate you sharing your terrain magic!
