Quick Pond Diorama
I havent had much time for modelling recently, but I did have an interesting school project. Well, for some reason I had to make a diorama of a duck pond for Spanish II (yeah your guess is as good as mine) Anyways, I decided to have some fun with it, so I started with a thick cardboard base, made basic shapes of clay and driveway stones, filling in cracks with watery clay. Then I painted everything brown, and drybrushed in lighter and lighter shades. Next, I painted rocks grey and drybrushed lighter grey on them. Then some watered down carpenters glue and static grass. I mixed up some resin and poured it in, and as it dried I stuck in little pieces of plants and sticks from outside to make it look real. I added some clay ducks, but they arent in the picture. All in all, I thought it came out pretty well for 45 minutes worth of work and $0 spent on my part. Just thoguht Id post it to see what you guys thought.
