Topic: RCWCreations diorama's

[RCWCreations]

I've spent time today finishing marking out the brickwork in pencil and then using a fine head pottery tool to score into the foam. I cut in a smaller dock door and replaced the foam with the corrugated card, then gluing the three pieces together which will be glued to the wall at a later time. Like the previous warehouse diorama, I made an L-shaped dock ramp going around the small building using three pieces of 20mm foamboard, which are glued together using PVA glue.

The next steps are to make the steps to the ramp and weathering the bricks.

Moving right along. Looks good.

I've tidied up the edges, added magnetic disks to hold this piece together, added a couple of steps to the loading platform.  All that is left is to weather the bricks and floor before I can apply an undercoat.

Looks awesome to me. Off to share on the front pages.

I've finished this section of the build phase by weathering the surfaces of this model. It is now ready to be undercoated.

This is really looking good. You are doing great work building these cityscapes. Very inspiring!

After applying a black undercoat, I've sponged on a basecoat of burnt sienna and umber with a touch of white to the brickwork and an even lighter version to the base of both walls. The concrete areas were painted grey, also using a sponge and the area above both docks doors.

Once it's dry I can start adding the next coats and layering.

It's amazing to see how the wash adds so much depth to the brick wall and how the pigments highlight the texture of the floor. All these small details add all the realism to your dioramas. Thanks so much for taking the time for all the work-in-progress shots! You turn this one into another masterpiece!

The sponge technique does wonders for making this realistic. I really like the cracking on the "floor." It looks really good so far.

Before repainting the bottom of the walls I mixed up a darker brown and sponged it over the brickwork.  I used a black wash on the concrete area above the dock doors and cracks on the floor and concrete ramp.

This looks really good! It feels so "real." Kudos.
