Notice he hasn't actually denied it though...  >:D

Actually it's much more subtle than that. Either:

a) I have designed a diorama where all fifteen miniatures have been turned into cybernetic organisms from 1970's low budget tv shows.

b) the diorama is an international convention of living statues.

In either case all the miniatures are naturally silver skinned and clothed.

This looks hugely interesting. Can we get a close up of the minis your using please?

But could not make the sickle yield."

A change of direction.  I have begun modelling the part of the diorama that I am most concerned about!I am relatively comfortable and happy modelling with styrene sheet and resin, but much less experienced with green stuff and organic modelling - 'sculpting'. So hence this is a bit of a step into the unknown for me.

I'm not going to explain why part of this diorama appears to be set in a forest and another in a workshop - I shall leave that to the reveal and the supporting short story...



Edit: And now with added bark and rocks...

Right well that's that part of the diorama modelled, and painted.

What? You don't believe me?

Well, I *could* show you! but it would simply ruin the final reveal...

Now... Back to the workshop side...

OK, I'll show you some of it (minus the bit that will obviously give the game away...)
Ignore the background - it will get painted over.



And a small conversion...
