I think it didn’t come out too bad afterall.[:D]

Some more pics at the Diorama Forum.

the men if this dio , look alittle too short for the door an window, If you look at were
the door knob hieght is it is the same as the men , which would make them kinda short , but other than that it looks good to have ran out of paint

Yep you are right. I assembled the house in the office using an Academy figure as reference while I did the dragon figures at home. To my surprise the Academy guy was a bit bigger than that of Dragon. That explains the problem with the window and door size. As a matter a fact, the fence panels are also too big for scale.[:)]

looks cool ive thought of trying black and white but after looking at pictures ,well i dont think i could pull it off ,i like the dryed cracked ground effect you got there

Dwight_Ta-ala · February 20, 2005, 11:40pm

Thanks.

You can get that effect by using wall putty or modeling clay. After you have applied the material on the base. Expose the base to direct sunlight or hairdryer. This will cause the material to loose moisture prematurely making it shrink and crack as shown.

Excellent dio!
But…you mean it’s NOT in color?

beav · February 21, 2005, 10:25am

Dwight_Ta-ala · February 21, 2005, 6:00pm

You are right, it is still in color.[:D] Got mixed up [:I]right there thinking black and white are not considered colors but I guess, grey is.[:)]

Thanks guys.

looks pretty cool Dwight!![tup]

It has a B&W movie look to it! Ya know I didnt even notice the scale difference. Those darned Dragon figures have done this once to me with waaaaayyyy worse results. Somehow when Dwight does it…It still looks great! Keep up the good work man.

Thanks, Ryan. Actually the problem is with the Academy figures. Those are a bit too big. The Dragon figures are fine.
