Crimson Alizar and the Death Leeches of Dashur
Jungle All The Way! Again!
Hi everyone,
I managed to get in some more hours into this project, and I did get a few things done…besides work on other projects.
I completed the third stage of detailing on the log, as well as adding more moss to the scene. I have also started to work on some plastic plants I might use. I will see how they turn out before adding them. With plastic you can never really tell if they will work or not. They are also very time consuming.
The third stage of detailing is complete.
For the flowers on the log, I used some pre-coloured 1/72 etch brass from Eduard.
For the moss I used some bush foam and some Christmass moss.Plastic plants can be tricky to build-up realistically. An old modeller taught me how, but I always preferred dried plants.
Below I am using the petals of this plastic aquarium plant in two different ways in order to create two distinct plants.
The base plastic plant.
Using the petals and dried buds in creative ways.
The same petals as above but used in a different way with brass wire.
The first finished plastic plant. I think I will use this in the backdrop of the diorama. That is all for now. I will still be working on the vegetation this week, but if everything goes as planned (which it never does) I think this project will be ready by next Sunday. Fingers crossed.
Until next time, stay safe and have fun.
