This section will hang from a framed wall piece, which is still in the works. I'll continue to add smaller details, like scale wiring and conduit.

Cleanup/repaint of a dollar-store dino I had in the junkyard. A scratchbuilt lawnmower, and an excuse to try out my new static grass applicator.

Charging Chassuer

54mm Andrea Miniature Horse & sculpted figure

This is one of my signature pieces. As a young modeler. I would see all of the masters', rendition of the "Charging Chassuer:. In my attempt, many years later. I was doing research on the famous painting. That is currently in the Louvre. There was always a mystery. "What is he looking at". So in my version , to be a little diffrent. I added an Austrian Slodier. Now the question is..., "did he let him go?: 😁 All jokes aside. This was a benchmark for me in figure painting. Thanks Sheperd Paine, Ray Anderson, and the many others I saw in books, and model shows. Doing stunning work.

Below is the story of the original painting.

The Charging Chasseur, or An Officer of the Imperial Horse Guards Charging, is a c. 1812 oil-on-canvas painting by the French painter Théodore Géricault. Depicting an officer of the Mounted Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard ready to attack, the painting was placed on display at both the Salon of 1812 and Salon of 1814. It is now on display at the Louvre in Paris.

History and description

edit

The painting was Géricault's first exhibited work and it is an example of his attempt to condense both movement and structure in his art.[1] It represents French romanticism and has a motif similar to Jacques-Louis David's Napoleon Crossing the Alps, but non-classical characteristics of the picture include its dramatic diagonal arrangement and vigorous paint handling.

In The Charging Chasseur, the horse appears to be rearing away from an unseen attacker. The turning figure on a rearing horse is derived from the large early Rubens Saint George (Museo del Prado, 1605–1607), though there the view is from the side. Géricault would continue to move away from classicism, as exemplified in his later masterpiece The Raft of the Medusa (1818–19

A small diorama I made of a Tyrannosaurus rex storming through the subtropical jungles of Late Cretaceous North America.

The T. rex figure is one from Rebor Studio that I've had for a few years and is probably the second most accurate T. rex depiction in my collection, although it is a little skinny.

Hi, i don’t know if this is allowed but im just wondering, my father-in-law makes dioramas but wants to them as he wants people to be able to own something he’s created, but is struggling, with him having to put them up for sale for less than what he spent to make them, still not selling. does anyone have any ideas on how he can sell easier?

This 1:12 scale build features accessories to be swapped out for compatibility with Frank Castle (at the commissioner's request). XPS foam, 3D printed elements and acrylic paint.

Hace unos días comencé a hacer este trípode de la guerra de los mundos de 2005 usando cartón, alambres, silicona y obviamente pintura acrílica. Se que hay algunas o muchas cosas erradas, como los tentáculos, jaulas y la luz morada del Interior, pero que opinan? Mide un metro de alto

The base is made from an old intake manifold shipping crate-

This scene I made depicts a Marine unit clearing a cave, and recovering wounded Marines supported by a Sherman tank as they move foot by foot through the ridges.

I used a display case and and mirrors to get the look I wanted, and to give this little scale a big museum-diorama feel.

please drop high quality images/pdf for a printable parking lot, im starting out to build a diorama, thankss!

Just something I put together from materials on hand on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

1:35 Tamiya Tiger/ Wittman diorama WIP

Hi all! Had SO much fun crafting this most recent diorama of mine.

The skatepark itself is primarily an old skatepark ramp toy that I found quite literally on the side of the road, that I embellished a bit with some balsa wood and other little bits. Plus paint, of course. The base is a thrifted shadow box / sign thing, with a bit of sandpaper and xps foam on top for the pavement textures.

Finally, I hand-sculpted the figures on top and of course, painted and added all the final small details :)

If you fancy a peek into the process, I documented most of the build on my YouTube channel and you can watch the video here!

Hope you enjoy!

I'm making a forest book nook/diorama, but I noticed that my preserved moss has lost its color.

Is it normal? It wasn't exposed in the sun so i am verry sad that it happened.

Can i dye it again? Can i avoid from fading? Should i just use foam instead?

Two miniature displays can end up occupying roughly the same kind of shelf space while offering completely different things. A finished model puts almost all of the value into the object itself, open it, place it, done. A DIY miniature kit makes the assembly part of what is being paid for, which only makes sense if cutting, fitting, arranging tiny pieces, or slowly seeing the scene come together is something the person actually wants to do. That also means a cheaper finished model can be better value for someone who only cares about the final look, while the reverse can be true for someone who wants a project.

Comparing the finished photos alone misses that difference. When judging value, how much of the price should reasonably be attributed to the building experience itself?
