Hello all.

I am looking at ways to improve on this base. It's for a setting for a model for a kid next door. Doesn't have to be perfect, but I want to do a decent job.

Many thanks.

Hi Dale,
We're is the diorama actually set, that will help understand what colour shades would be a better / closer fit?

Thanks mate.

It's actually for a dinosaur, a triceratops. The plants are likely way incorrect, but the kid was happy with the straight plastic. These things were made for fishtanks.

I just want them to look kind of real.

Here's what they were originally.



The dinosaur.

Hi Brian,
Well I would look up Nz ferns/ colours as back home was the last country populated,and that the Tuatara is actually a dinosaur I would think that the colours could match pretty well to that time frame.

For those of us who, like me, don't have the foggiest idea about what a Tuatara actually is:

Hi Robin,

Lol sorry about that I didn't think about explaining what a Tuatara is. But yes they are an endangered species.

Hi Dale,
I use a lot of aquarium plants for jungle dios .I find it's best to give them a spray of green to take the shine off and then just wash with other green colors.
