In the wake of “I am two bullets” I’ve decided to jump back into the mix straight away and make another diorama. I’m due to start a new job in two weeks from today and I will need to get it done by then, unless I want to delay it to September. No thanks. With that in mind, then, this new diorama will have to be… tiny. I want it to be done within 8-10 days (although I am at the whim of some suppliers to deliver materials!).
It’s strange, I have a whole bunch of ideas I want to make (ranging from small to HUGE – one in particular has me itching to get going) but this little one has just jumped out at me from nowhere. It’s a simple idea, nothing overly new… but I’m hoping to brush up on that figure painting skill as I mentioned.
I spent a little part of today getting the base ready. I’m not sure what it was but it was part of a crappy little thing I found at a car boot sale yesterday. It’s difficult to work with as it’s an octagon. The through-frame was tricky to make because of it:
For those that have enquired about “Recovery”, it’s still very much on the cards for me – I just know it’s going to be one of those projects that will take a while. My magnum opus. It’s quite big! We’re gonna need a bigger bitz box…
More soon.
