I cheated with the statue, it's a fish tank ornament I found on Amazon which goes really well with this piece.

Today I started working on the accessories and to make this look like a lost ruin temple. First using some of the broken bricks originally taken from the walls, I cut them down and rolled tin foil over them and then coated them in a base black coat. When they dried, I added the same grey that I used for the walls. When that's dried I will black wash them and then dry brush them.

Second I cut some pieces of string and coated them in a combination of black paint and modge podge. Then while they were still wet, I covered them with model foliage. While they started to dry, I added modge podge to areas of the walls and floor and added a combination of foliage and diorama basing stone to give it an old and overgrown vibe. Then I added the vines to the walls.
I'm going to let this dry before adding the foliage to the outside of the walls and glueing it all together.

This next set of pictures was taken while the glue was still drying and I had to be careful not to knock anything off.

Wow, that vegetation work just pushed this up even more notches.

This reminds me so much of the waterfall scene with my favorite episode of SW Visions.

Man, keep it going.

Off to share on the front pages. That vegetation work is just top notch Richard!

I have completed my latest diorama piece, I added foliage to external sides and pieces of brick rubble. I then dry brushed the statue to blend it in a little with the temple, before glueing all pieces except for the statue and boulder at the front together.

My usual final pictures will follow but as you can see, this piece is perfect for any 6" - 7" action figure range.

Its measurements are 8" (length) x 11" (width) x 12" (height) and all but the statue is made from foam board and card, making it lightweight.

This is a most amazing build. I echo Tamer's sentiments - I think its my favorite of the ones you've done. It is sooo very realistic. I like the pillars and the statue is great. I really appreciate that you show us your process, it helps people like me learn. Thanks for sharing.

I've started to make it look more like a ruin by cutting individual bricks out from the walls. I cut out a couple of pieces of foam to sit on top of the pillars, the exact name of it I am not sure what it would be called. If anyone does, please let me know!  Using some scrap pieces I made a couple of rocks that need rounding off, just to see what they would look like next.

I could be wrong but I think those cross beams or header stones might be called lintels.

First WIP build of 2022. I’m putting together a Star Wars 3.75? display piece that will fit on top of some glass shelving I have. This diorama will be an outpost, which will include a garage, command centre with a landing platform.

The area I have to work with is 15.6? x 11.8?, I have cut out the base to this size, making room for the 4 screws holding the top plate to the legs of the shelving unit, this piece will live on. I’ve made the two towers (4? x 4.75? x 15?) that will support the landing platform and cut out the foam board which will be the command area. Right now it kinda resembles the old Kenner Ewok village.
