Tracking of reference point from original map onto base of diorama.

 


Rescale of base point and fit it with pin on polystyrene base. We will use this technique to track rivers and land.


Wi will draw segment point-to point until to obtain a real shape of river.


then...with a hot chisel we will dig the shape between the segment traced before.

In this step we cut all land traced in previous step and we will place it on the shaped base

In this mode wi will create a multilevel terrain.


Now we have to join horizontally all our plan wich originaly had this measure

60 *125 cm

The result is a big plane with 3 base joined in longitudinal direction and 2 in trasversal mode.

Total surface is now

180 x 250 cm


Next step will be to fit all area with fine sand mixed with vinilic glue until to enshroud the entire surface, then we will wait 4 days for the entire drying


Now our diorama is dry and hard and all levels has been smooth by the mixture. You will see only one plan because all imperfection are now shadowed with the sand.

...After that we have to fit all base with a first hand of colour. Better result will be obtained if you use a big aerograph with acrlilyc colour.


Painting must be done in some different steps; We will start with a uniform base that have to highlight all grass area followed by some different honds of brighness color until to reach a real effect of land

Same job must be done for riverbed , but in this case the base color to use has to be a dark grey.

Last job to do will be the tracking of all road. In this case we will use a matt paint, or in our case mixed with quarz sand. with this operation we will obtain a new surface just little bit highter of the base.

 


In this area we try to higtlight all area farm and behind riberbed with syntetic grass colour just to add more detail at every single area on our diorama.


we conclude the job fitting the riverbed with coloured resin. In this mode we produce the water effect as soon real is possible.
