Sorry guys I have another long update for you!

After doing a black undercoat, I have base coated with a light burnt umber. The idea is to them layer with a couple of different tones of brown before weathering.

 Mixing up a brown and using a sponge to dab the brown over all of the walls. I added to white to the brown and using the sponge to dry dab the the light brown over all of the surfaces.

I’ve added a couple of cables, then made a dirty brown and dry brushed areas of the diorama.

The double has been painted red, highlighted with GW Wild Rider Red and then weathered with the dark brown.

Just a couple of little things to do before this piece is completed.

I purchased an animation kit from the company I am building these sets for.  During this time of lockdown due to Covid-19 it is time to road test these commission pieces for what they will be used for. Model sets are for children’s animation lessons based at the Science Museum in Bradford. My daughter is having lots of fun with Jerry the blob, this is the first of many animation videos she is making to show her teacher one of many new skills she is learning from home.

Wow, all kinds of stuff happening in here. Off to share some of it.

Getting your daughter in on animation is just cool.

I am anxious to see if you try doing a full blown movie using this software!

For the fifth piece, I wanted to do something different. So far I’ve done a loft apartment, a room in a castle, a loading bay, a building alcove. This piece I wanted to do a science fiction diorama, but what to do? In the end I have decided to base this diorama on a space port found on a planet located in outer rim of galaxy far, far away!

It is the same size build as the previous four. I have cut a seven inch porch, three wall braces and cut a doorway into the right wall.  It's been a long time since I posted a Star Wars diorama, here's hoping I don't disappoint!

The porch entrance and the braces I have cut grooves into the walls for these to be glued into place.

Next is make a door for the right the wall and lay the floor.

Recently, I watched a documentary about animated movies with characters sculpted with clay. My brother was a huge fan of Thomas the Train when he was 3 years old. Both were/are produced in the UK. Your dioramas reminded me of some of those film sceneries. It's Always fun to see your updates. You did a good Job on the first stop-motions. I also like the shapes of the latest dio with Rey & BB.

Thanks Darth, my daughter did a great job with her first animation, she has done another one with Jerry and Lego Scrooge McDuck which is absolutely brilliant! I have always been fascinated with stop motion video from seeing the original Star Wars films back in the 80's and Jason and Argonauts and always wanted to do that as child.  Where did I go wrong in life LOL!

Now I work in IT and make dioramas which will be used by children being taught how make video animation, part of the dream is there

Great, you are working on a SW Dio. Cool stuff and great progress already.

Back to the front pages.

[JDeck]

Your food always look great, especially the brick work. I look forward to seeing progress on the star wars dio

Mixing sand with filla, this was used to cover the floor and the porch entrance.

I'm wondering if I should paint the walls or mix some more filla and sand and use that instead?

The sand and fills on the walls looks ok
Man, this stuff is cool.
  When I was a kid, I remember shooting stop action movies with a little 8 mm camera. We would build dioramas and shoot, using action figures or clay.  Man, there is so much more available to do that with now.
