For thefirst step in
my diorama I drew the layout of the diorama on a sheet of card showing the
disposition of the diorama including the dimensions of the base and this shows
the spaces until to found a moderate and simple disposition that kept things
from getting too crowded.
Once the final
layout is decided upon it is time to start the grounwork. I covered the
base with plaster remmebering to imprint thoroughly the spots for each item that
will be placed on the base. These items include the scaffold platform, the
fuel drums, the airplane so as to to have a certain and secure position for each
item in the finished diorama.

Now we cover the
base with a mixture of water and glue and sprinkle fine sand over the entire
base to
form the ground of the diorama, it will be necessary to let it dry for 2 days before everything is
stable.
After 2 days have
passed we use an airbrush to give the color to the sand on the base, then we do a fine
washing with of the color to oil diluted in turpentine (land of shadow) and for
last effect the plot of the ground was coloured with a dry brush.
The palm is modeled
with milliput, the leaves were extracted from foil lids of yogourt containers
and the tree parts were made from scratch syringe needles and wire.
Now all that remains is putting
sides on my diorama base and it is ready for the showcase.
I hope that my work is useful to
some of
you. Bye
Manuel
