Thanks

quick question, what did you use for all your grass, fauna, plants and foiliage? I do alot of Vietnam Vignettes with the dragon figures and what you've used would be perfect!

Superb work mate!,

The vegetation looks great!

More excellent foliage there Santiago.

I'm looking forward to seeing this diorama completed!

Well, the base is posidonia grass (commercial name is "wild grass" in USA ). You can find posidonia balls in the mediterranean and australian beaches in spring and automn, you can pick a bit from the ball, and glue it on you dio; it´s the best grass I now. The high grass is hemp rope, and the rest of plants are just natural plants; everything is paintend with acrilics.

There is some part of silflor and mininature grass, and the coconut trunks are just wooden sticks with painter tape around.

Thank you very much

Looking great glad to see more progress pics. Did you airbrush the foliage the color is great. What shades of green did you paint the foliage. Cant wait to see more.

Amazing work! I like the foalige.

The vegetation looks great, nice work.

Any progress?

Now I,m working in the water buffalo and the cart. The buffalo is the one from Doug´s original, mastered by the wellknown modeller Douglas Lee, a really pleasure to paint. It´s allmost finished, just the horns waiting for lights and shadows. The cart is an Italeri jeep trailer with some modifications to look like an "adaptation" for a more "rustic" use as buffalo cart. The painting is on progress.

Comments welcome.
