hello and welcome back to miniverse where today we are delving back into the world of Warhammer
and attempting to make my biggest and best diorama yet so let's get started so after breaking my old
and trusty hot wire cutter I had to revert back to the old barbaric ways of a knife and chisel
so I started to build this Labyrinth the foam that'll one day be a path to the most traveled
in serious though I do love looking back at this why it's Ting and it really does show how
you can really make anything out of a little bit of foam crazy when making these type of dioramas
you kind of want to make the basic outlines and with this rough shape now made I know it looks
like a lot of mess but trust me after this clay mwah it'll look pretty good and speaking of clay
how have I never used this clay before here's my one tip to newer and old hobbyists if you
have never used Daz air drying clay that's not sponsored but it's really cheap and it's really
fun to use and I cannot express how satisfying it is to get down and dirty with some clay
we're not sculpting with the clay I made sure to wet the edges to get smooth blend into the
foam and smooshed it into the foam so it doesn't fall off later after it's dried
now it's time to make the cliff Edge I did some resin rocks into the clay to give it that realism
and add some diversity amongst the rocks to make it look better you know more like a cliff
another helpful tip I can give is that when making a diorama like this try and
not make everything like a right angle try and make some slopes and gradients to make
the diamond feel less boxy especially if you're filling in most the sides
after carving more Cliffs I used some texture paste to add
more texture to the Rock surfaces so it's not just smooth and shiny
now it's time to get onto the centerpiece model
while this necron looks fine and dandy I wanted to add a little bit more of a menacing pose and
to make that happen I drilled and clipped off his legs to reshape them to better fit the diorama
I also added some battle damage with a knife and drill I also replaced one of
his eyes by adding the eye onto a guitar string and placing that back in there
foreign stuff I then reattached his legs and held him in place
overnight to dry the next morning I then reattached his other legs
now let's make a tree to make the tree I chopped off some Roots I found in the woods and shows the
best ones that looked kinda like some tree bark I then drilled and glued small roots and twigs onto
the tree to add as little branches before then adding CMOS to act as all the little branches
when adding these branches make sure to add a lot of super glue as the last thing you want is
it breaking off while painting or adding flock so be warned to make the leaves I delicately added
watered-down Mod Podge or PVA glue all over the branches and sprinkled fine green flock
on top now this is a really time consuming process but in the end it does look great
so overall this process I did that twice before adding some notch or Notch leaves on top
thankfully this step is much easier as the fox will absorb all the glue much easier
but one thing you do need to make sure is to hold
it carefully because it will get pretty heavy before the glue dries
with the tree now done let's paint some miniatures
now I do love the other robots and I think this comes from Borderlands 2 but I cannot get
enough of the yellow look on robots and this is exactly how I'm going to paint my necrons foreign
steel color I painted all the chosen arm panels White so I can then apply the Imperial fist's
yellow contrast pen on top making sure it doesn't pull and has a nice flat color to it
once this is too dry I slap on my favorite wash in the world dark brown enamel
I pour this all over the miniature but prioritizing the yellow armor panels
to dirty it up and give it a slight changing color
foreign
shade underneath the miniature I had its striking scorpion green
to the eyes and dabbed a tiny bit of water onto it to add a glowing effect
next I use the new products I really do love VMS smart clay which I'll go into
in another video because all that's about to get covered up so that'd be a bit of a waste
after dry brushing the Rocks white it's time to add some color here is the reference images
I'm going to use to achieve this this is actually a photo I took earlier this
year when visiting King Arthur's Castle in tintagel 10 out of 10 I fully recommend it
for the Rocks I started off with a warm gray and later on covered everything with a black
quash and applied a dry brush of a lighter gray on top to make the highlights this is a
really nice and easy way to paint rocks and it's definitely what I'll be doing in future laughs
foreign
to achieve the Moss I use dirty Downs moths which honestly cannot be beaten
when it comes to quick and easy Moss painting
now let's get some water on that fish I mixed up some resin and poured some
luscious blue into it afterwards I poured it into the waterfall and the stream beneath
I always love the resin floor or so satisfying
now at this point I was torn between making this a forest diorama or a cool winter diorama and
it sat on my desk for about two three days and I was pondering over it every day but
in the end I decided to go for a winter scene next I applied some snow onto the
tree by once again soaking all the leaves with glue and pouring snow flock on top
later on I actually gave it a quick spray of white primer on top as well to help with the snowy look
to do this I used snow from AK interactive which I do not recommend it is a waste of money just
buy some spackle paste from your DIY store it's the same thing I then sprinkled snowflake on top
one thing I also use was snow sprinkles also by a carrier interactive which I do
recommend that stuff is a great it looks like wet snow the diorama was nearly
finished it was time to paint the second miniature for the duel but it looked like
so instead I painted two more little friends to help him along the way in this Epic Journey along
the wastelands but where are they going that's for you my friends to make up let me know your
