Hi all
Starting to glue some main features in place, got the grass down and will start to put more ground cover different size grass i intend to make the light tall grass a little less uniform more flowers and i have to sculpt an otter or a beaver but getting there.
Cheers chris

Hey Chris! Looking good! I did notice a couple of things you can think about changing.
1.) The tall grass looks a bit stiff sticking streight up, when grass or weeds grow that tall they tend to bend down. Dont you think?

Thats about it! Everything else looks awesome! Keep us posted!

i hear that youve started to talk to him??? I think ill have to take him from you and take you to a psychiatric ward! Haha i think your doing an awesome job...i cant wait to see the water in there. I thought jackhammers carpatian dio looked good without water but then he put water in and it was breathtaking....i expect the same from you. Keep it and try to tone down the colors on the plants a litte with some washes! keep the pics a'comin!

Hi T & Ian
Thanks for the response and the feed back yea iam not to happy about the tall stuff does not look right have to fiddle with it and yea i will look at the flowers although when i had the photo behinde they blended in great and flowers that i have seen up in that neck of the woods were bloody amazing breath taking so its a hard call really. ispend hours doing something walking around it with a nice glass of red fiddle a bit and then it just works out so who knows ben trying to get the resin tryed all the normal places but still no luck.
Got so much on at the moment 4 german paras a bren carrier, waiting for a first world war figure for the fotm comp.....i love it
Cheers guys

Chris, Excellent ground work and amazing vegetation. I love the colors. My hats off to you. Cheers Kevin

yes ure going very nice along the way . About the tall grass the appear some stiff and some ..alone to my opinion . Would be some bit of strange to have just two points of them appearing in the whole area u represent maybe do some more of them or trim thme down a bit so that they dont distract the viewer from the guy . But ure doing good and i like it . Keep us upgrated .

Hi guys
Thanks for the feed back yea iam not happy about the tall grass type stuff it was an experiment that did not work lol lol i have some other ideas have the stones and gravel in the river base so things are moving on.
Cheers Chris

Hi Chris,

I believe that the water effect technique that I have given you in the other post was for this DIO.

It is going to be a great effect.

I like your figurine, the colors arewell blended in the scenery.

I could suggest that you do a wash with a dark brown on all the dio. This will help the blending of all the plants and terrain. After the wash, I usually use artist oil paint to do some highlight (dry brush, etc.) in some area of the dio.(light green, white, dark yellow, etc.).

I really love the scenery. I wish I was there with your figurine, ...in nature, ....near a river, ..... Right now, I'm in my office at work.... DOH !

Cheers men !
