Andy<p>Calling the diorama finished. I just need to leave it alone now. Don't mess with it, think of new things to add to it, add more drybrushing to the waves. And definitely. No. Seagulls.</p><p>This is going into the island Open Exhibition. I never thought of myself as an artist before, and it'll be sat alongside photographers, knitters, painters, and the like. Which is weird. But I feel pretty pleased. I learnt some stuff. I made some mistakes.

Andy<p>We're looking okay this morning. The left side of the dio has bulged a bit and the resin seeped down the side (where land would be) but I can sand that back. A few bubbles (as per pic, the extra-shiny bits) on the seaweed but I'm pretty pleased overall. Plus, once i get the water gel on to texture some gentle waves, and touch it up with some white, you won't notice.</p><p><a href="https://social.4142.io/tags/ModelMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ModelMaking</span></a> <a href="https://social.4142.io/tags/Modelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Modelling</span></a> <a href="https://social.4142.io/tags/MiniPainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MiniPainting</span></a> <a href="https://social.4142.io/tags/Miniatures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Miniatures</span></a> <a href="https://social.4142.io/tags/Diorama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diorama</span></a></p>

First ever resin pour. Send thoughts and prayers. 🤣

Assuming it survives the next 72 hours, I need to add waves, finish the cliff, add static grass, build up the sand around the boat, and finish off a couple more miniatures. I have a week before final submission date for the local craft festival...

Hadn't pained a model in about a year so this was fun. The oil wash I tried went pretty sideways on me, so she's not as spruce as I was hoping for, but definitely looks better than this crappy cellphone pic is leading onto.

Fun project to turn a couple fish tins into a boat. I think I'll probably have another go at it before too long. We're also gonna build some scenery for the game at some point soon too I think.
