So I've managed to wrap up Phase Two of the diorama, which is pretty much the entire front area now. This part features more reanimated skeletons plus another one of the adventuring party, a dwarf slayer.
As before, the slayer model is Kimril Giantslayer from the classic Dwarf Lords of Legend box set, who cuts an ideal pose for what I'm after.
As I've gone for a smaller base, as well as a different shape this time, there was less area to play around with on a circular base so it was a bit of a task to fit everything in. I had to juggle a bit and swap the skeletons around, also making sure nothing was too bunched up or blocked from view.
Trying to accommodate models in a slightly reduced area is going to be an ongoing challenge with future phases in this project but I think this one was probably the most awkward.
Phases One and Two Combined |
I've already made a start on Phase Three which has some slight alterations from before with a small extra feature or two. I'm hoping to have this ready to show in a couple of weeks.
What a delightful composition. This is enormously cool
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber! Hope you'll like the next phase when it's ready.
DeleteLove that dwarf sculpt. The small bits of sod/moss on the skellies heads are a great touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Nice to see the small details like this are appreciated. They're the sort of thing that were lacking in the previous incarnation of this diorama.
DeleteEver so bloody cool
