materials needed for diogram

When it comes to groundwork, there are several things you can use. A lot of people use a product called Celluclay. It's kind of an acrylic paste. There are several other similar products. As for myself, with my limited experience in dios, I actually use real dirt. I dry it up, grind it into fine dust, and sift it so that there are as few inconsistencies as possible. After that I mix with water and white glue and spread as groundwork.
As for other materials, virtually ANYTHING goes, as what you want is a lot of variations of colour and texture, just like in real life. It all depends on what you're building.

it all depends on what kind of diorama you wanna create. there are different materials for different ideas, such as snow, grass, rocks, streets, or water..
it will all start on a piece of wood where you actually scuplt everything.-DJ
