Wow Han... awesome scratch building here mate
Love the wall!
Keep more coming please, I might learn something here!

Hi Guys,

I painted the whole dio in a sand color.
And went out, bought me some bushes and stuck 'm here and there.
I looked for a bird or lizzard in the right scale but couldn't find anything.
Maybe I might have to scratch build a bird too!







Next up is some rock weathering with pigments.

Looking real good i find it the hardest thing 8s to figure out and make a dio so your going a cracking job

Hi Guys,

Still looking voor animals for the dio...
Meanwhile I thought how can I make the scene a little more interesting?
Than I thought of a road sign. And googled for one.

Came across this picture and thought that it would be fitting:



I wanted to use the real signing from the photo but these guys were blocking some of the sign.
So I cleared them out of way with some photoshopping and gave the sign some color.



From plywood and pine wood I made the sign construction and we had ourselves a sign!



That's all for now..

cheers

Superb work Hans.
It always comes down to the tiny details. That sign is perfect.

Awesome!!

Hi guys,

Since I wanted to add a bird of some kind, Mikey came up with a link to a site that sells miniature animals amongst other figures.
It's called mantisminiatures.pl. Although they are nice, they weren't that detailed and to pay € 20,- (shipment included) was a bit
much for a set of birds of which I only needed one..
So....
I took out my DAS klay and started 'modelling' a tiny owl!
For feet I used a tiny piece of wire.
I waited for it to dry. Then sculpted it with a knife for some more details.
Then painted it with the tiniest pencil I have and I had my birdy on the rock!









I also made a little snake in the process. Still to be painted. That's for next time.

cheers

That's insane! That owl is so damn tiny, yet it looks real perched on the rock face!

Now that is an inspiring build Han, makes for great browsing
Tom

The snake is born!





I think that's enough animals for this patch of desert.

Maybe one more thing to add.....
Some kind of growing stuff..

That's next

cheers

un-freaking-believable
both of your animals look way better than that site lol
some of the other animals and figures look pretty awesome though.

This complete build is incredible!

This is fantastic stuff. I'm completely sold on that owl.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That's it!!! I'm retired !!!


Han, that is superb beyond imagining buddy. Really and truly awesome stuff.

Thanks so much for your kind comments all you guys.
They are inspiration!


Cheers
