Well today I hoped to get the last of the massed dioramas posted but just when you want an overcast sky you get bright sunshine! So I’ll just show you all something I have been working on now that I’m downsizing. I found these glass containers in town and as they were so cheap I purchased some to try out some minis. I turned them upside-down so as to use the lid as a base, I then shaped some shale that’s all over the place here and just stained the lot with Nulm and Earth shade.
As I had lots of Elves left over I decided to stick some on the rock and added some green wash along with some fine bright green turf and there we have it!

I think down sizing comes to us all at some point Pat unless we are very lucky and this is a great way of doing it. This one has come out very nice but I see you getting your head around plenty more with your imagination. 🙂

I have often looked at those glass covered bases at the hobby store, but could never justify the cost, now I’ll have to go have a walk about the container isle!

You have a really practical way of making effective presentations, something I couldn’t claim for myself. Fabulous Dark Alliance elves too, Pat!

This is a great idea for a diorama and the glass case is a cool way to display your work. Going this route to save space might not only be wise but let you do lots of different types of dioramas/scenes which sounds good to me! 🙂
