How to build a diorama - Coen

Post by Coen »

Hey fellas,
Lee asked me to put together a thing on how to build dioramas, similar to my guild on weathering. I was going to do this long article with a hundred or so photos and a couple of thousand words of text, but then I thought... well that's a book. I'm not really sure that I know how to do that... yet.

So Maybe I'll do it in video format for now, to get things rolling and so that you guys have something to use right now, as opposed to six weeks from now when I finish writing this article.
I have every intention of completing the full written article shortly, and I'll just add it here when it's done. It's about 15% done now.
So here's a series of vids on how I make dioramas in what I hope is a simple and relativity inexpensive way.
