Hi People,

I'd like to know what product (spray) shall I use to finish the diorama, and fix its small items, like grass, or some powders that we use for terrain spots.
I thought about matt varnish, sprayed at long distance, but I believe the results would be a bit awful.. lol

Greetings,
RZ

When you say 'fix' do you mean to glue down or to 'seal'.

To glue down I would use white glue or a spray adhesive.

I think you mean the second (matt finish clue) - I have used a dull coat sprayed in a fine mist over the diorama from about 12" or so. I have heard of guys using Hair spray to seal and also 'afix'/glue down certain parts.

You have to be careful what elements you have in your diorama - water, glass, vegitation. Water and glass elements shouldn't be sprayed, vegitation depends on what type it is. You may want to do some very selective control spraying, depending on the subject(s).

Also, wait for some other options from others.
