Hey all,

My latest project was a dual contest entry (not quite finished). It is a small Warhammer 40k diorama containing a wrecked Warhound Titan Head on a shattered overgrown city street. Every thing you see in the pictures, with the exception of some small lichen is paper (well, the water is Aileen's Clear Glue).

The base, rubble and large tree is cardboard with a coating of gel medium mixed with texturing sand. The tree trunk was cut out of a toilet paper tube and the branches carefully peeled apart and bent at different angles.

The leaves and smaller plants were made out of a sheet of regular typing paper colored with Prismacolor markers.

The Titan head was taken from a paper pattern off the web and heavily modified (including an interior, which is not quite finished).

The base and head were primered black and dry brushed or stippled depending on the texture desired.

Hope this helps someone.

Bill

That's great, Bill! I'm sure the pictures and explanation will be helpful. Good luck in the contest!

I tied for first in our local IPMS contest (the other first was a beautiful pl**tic Testarosa). Actually, I entered my space wreck as well and they couldn't decide between the two paper kits and so I also tied with myself.

very nice looking, I especially like your custom foilage there. I was thinking today of doing a diorama and a good way to make some trees.

Nice work.

I can see my TAU recovery team working their way through dense jungle to recover the computer core for communication codes for their upcoming planetary assault on the owners of said Warhound head. It will be a messy assault if they do recover those codes......

And I am back.... Thanks for the mini holiday.

Dioramas are great to display your work.
And in war gaming like others have said. Great objectives that really add to the over all game that is being played.
