Jack12477 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share #163 Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Building the diorama: For the diorama display I chose a 9 inch by 11 inch basswood plaque to which I applied 2 coats of Minwax Cherry stain followed by 2 coats of Minwax Clear Satin poly. For the scene I decided to show the tank and crew moving thru a wooded area with a rock outcropping on one side with a stand of hardwood trees atop the outcropping. First step was to get out my Woodland Scenic rock casting rubber molds (shown in photos below). I mixed up a small batch of Hydrocal casting plaster, poured it into the molds and let setup overnight. After removing the castings I gave them a base coat of lamp black paint, followed by successively lighter shades of slate gray, and dry brushed with titanium white. To make the raised area for the rock outcropping I used some sheets of hard packing styrofoam (the really stiff kind that they use to pack small appliances and the like) which I stacked 3 high in a triangular shape to fit onto one corner of the plaque. I then attach the rock molds to the Styrofoam using pre-mixed ceramic tile cement & grout, working the rocks into the face of the the "cliff". But before I did all that I had to lay down the "road". I did this by applying dilute white glue to the plaque surface, then lay successive layers of toilet paper/bath tissue over the glue, pressing it down with a brush. Following this I mixed some Fawn Brown paint into the dilute white glue, sprinkled it over the tissue and then dusted it with "dirt" of various shades. After the tile cement/grout set overnight it was on to making the hardwood trees. For this I chose to use the many twigs that my River Birch (Betula nigra) trees constantly drop onto my yard. They are in a sense miniature trees. Adding them to the foam was easy just make a small hole in the foam with a common nail, apply a few drops of white glue to the hole and insert the twig. Then applying some grasses to the mix and dry brushing the rocks a little more increases the effect.
