Ralph's first real diorama (Untitled)

[papa 695]

Great work so far Ralph the scene is coming along very nicely.


But are you following Jim with the horses? And who threw the spears at them

Thanks for the kind words Monica.

Looking very good so far Ralph!
Anyway....why you don't build a closer street with different levels?


Using stairs and some trees...just looking for a more attractive general view. Create different "worlds" on the diorama that come together nicely and gives a separately sensation of live.


Errr...is only a suggestion

Thanks for the kind words Polux.


I understand what you mean Polux.I can't see a use for stairs but I already thought of having a couple of trees between the church and the railings.

Hi Friends.


This project is now cancelled permanently.


I feel that I have took on too much and it was making me unwell in my mind.It felt like a chore as opposed to fun.


I'm more comfortable working on one kit at a time and that is what I will be doing.


All the best.


Ralph.

I can understand that and respect your decision Ralph. It is a shame but you know best what you can do.


Can I suggest that you consider doing each piece as an individual with a view to re looking at the dio when you have them all done as single enteties?


obviously you know how to deal with this best so it us your call mate.

Thanks Graham.


What I have won't be wasted.What I will be doing is a few small vignettes,where I can concentrate on something smaller and put my best work into it.

Sorry to hear that Ralph but modeling should be fun so you've done the right thing.

I can understand your feelings Ralph, I too sometimes think I've bitten off more than I can chew, I myself adhere to Grahams view of doing each element of the dio as a separate work with the future intent of relating it into the dio as I am doing with "Horror". If I had to try to encompass it all at once in my mind it could be a bit boggling. Is there any way to keep your kitty out of your modeling room? I must admit I do have much experience with large dios but everyone must start somewhere, try to stick with it. I believe with your skills it will be a stunner when all done. Don't worry about the time element after all what's the rush, we'll all still be here and will be looking forward to your updates. You can always take a break and fiddle with a smaller project as I often do when I feel a bit stale on a large dio, some of my larger projects could take up to a year to finally complete, so what. If I can do it I know you can ....Jim

Thanks for your kind sentiments Jim.


I'm firmly in the thought that I will not be doing the diorama.


Nothing will be wasted though as I will be using them in separate smaller vignettes.


I have to think about my mental health and what my mind can cope with.

Hi Catalin.


I'm sorry to say that I cancelled doing this diorama as I took on too much, and due to my mental health I've decided to stick to one model at a time.
