Vietnam Soldiers Diorama Completed!!!

[Stefan290790]

Hey everyone!! The moment is here! My second year of uni is finished (2 more to go gahhh) and have completed a diorama! Now I am working on the next one and will be posting photos when completed. I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions on how I made certain things or anything at all just ask!!!

It is hard to see some of the detail on the pieces because of the camera so i'll mention the detail

I used a dry brushing technique I found on the Internet and I must say it was well worth the patience!! (first time I did it). You can see the depth and creases nicely in the clothes and the bags look really good!

Nice job Stefan. If I can just make a suggestion, I would try to keep clothing on figures a matt finish because if you imagine battledress scaled down it would not have any reflective properties at all.

For the next time experiment with matt enamels or matt acrylics or even just go over the completed figure with a matt clear coat when you have finished the painting.

I actually did use only matt colours (except for the shoes). It is just the reflection of the lamp that I had on.
