Looking for ....... Diorama Base

WOW !

See all the insides on that Corsair. I have an F4U-1A that I want to build and I have all the insides for it.

Hmmmmm 1 day I will start it.

Thanks for the link, it was SWEET !

Sweet Builds. and Thanks

Bud

I wouldn't use Future. It's designed NOT to build up. Look how much detail stands up when appiled to a model, even the finest panel lines can still be felt. Go to the hobby store and get some Liquitex, a clear two part epoxy that's designed to replicate water. Or go to the craft store in  the decoupage section and get some clear epoxy decoupage sealer. It's self leveling, dries clear and hard and each application build up several millimeters at a time.

That's the product I used for the water in these displays.

Thanks

Bud

Very Cool, Thanks again all

For dirt, look around the house, you may find some interesting fine sand and small rocks.  For the grass, I guess your best choice is your hobby shop.  There are some manufacturers that sells small fibers to simulate grass in different colors.

Have a look here: http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?search=Y&q_brand=&q_category=&q_scale=&q_word=grass

Now Bgrigg that's an IDEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could get a 12 X 12 X 1 of wood and dig some small holes out of it and use the Future in them for puddles of water.

OK I got that part, now if I use wood how can I add some grass and dirt ?

I'll tell you, You Guys Are The BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you

Bud 

Scratchbuild ???????????  LOL

Heck I was just asking someone else on here about HOW TO Scratchbuild things

I would not ever know where to begin.

But I will have to start looking around and readking a lot up on it.

Thanks again all

Bud

I say use your imagination and scratchbuild it yourself.  I'm sure you can do it and it will be a lot more rewarding.

You can find some usefull material to replicate water pound in your local art store.

Good luck and don't forget to show your work.

Well I never made a Dio before but these's always a 1st time,

Thanks all

Bud

I looked at the Verlinden Dio's and nothing.

Anyone else have any other ideas ?

Thanks

Bud

Thanks will look into that

Bud
