Title: Skywalkers`Port Royal Deluxe Part One
Post by: Skywalker on March 27, 2011, 16:56:12

Heyho !

Finally i finished the Port Royal Diorama. I still have some more ideas and will make some changes here and there but for now i am quite happy. I will post more pics ( i did about 200 ) today and tomorrow. Also i am waiting for some more French Klickys which will be guarding the Port and 2 more ships....

I hope you have fun with the pics !

Cheers.

René

How did you make the water? :D

Title: Re: Skywalkers`Port Royal Deluxe Part One
Post by: Skywalker on March 27, 2011, 21:08:43

Thx Luciano  :**:

WoT :  ...very simple : a big blue garbage bag ( plastic ) and over that the cheapest foil you would take for covering while painting. i saw something like this in a old playmo catalogue and tried it. it works perfect and saves me a lot photoshop madness :)

Wow!! Really coool !! :rock:

Great diorama, nice set-up of everything and an eye for detail!
Reminds me of the old calogue- and box-art from the '70s and '80s, but with more modern klickies. Very very nice!  :captain:

What did you use to make the brick-looking seawall? Are it real small stones or is it some kind of modelmaking-pasta or so?

How did you make the water? :D

My question is:  How does he make the mist?  Have you noticed that changes during the course of the pictures?

I imagine it's using Photoshop, but however it's done the attention to detail is incredible.

i made some pics of the parts with questions.

Hadoque : it is a "Decorative Rock Cast Verneer" ( ? ) you can use it for making a ugly wall turn into a french chalet :)

playmofire: you will be surprised how easy it is ;)

 1 : garbage bag / plastic / blue

2 :  foil over bag

Wow, absolutely amazing. I was impressed with our measly port but yours is absolutely fantastic. Great, great work.  Looks like I am now in the market for some medieval homes.
