Title: Halloween Diorama 2011
Post by: Tiermann on October 30, 2011, 16:15:58: Since my house been in a bit of an upheaval while the floors were redone I just had a small space for the Halloween diorama this year. I've got a new diorama table I am setting up now and have started on this year's Santa Castle which will be more elaborate than ever.

I've used a dark grey felt for the sky in most images but the first is with the white walls for contrast so you can see some details.

The autumn leaves are custom paint, and the Bride of Frankenstein is a custom from a while back. She's had her own thread here int he past if you want to look her up.

And that's all for this year. I think I managed to cram in the maximum number of Halloween cliches in the available space. :D And got many of my favorites out to play for a bit.

I love the autumn leaves too.. Real nice detail.

(and you have two spiders = brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - I was putting away the spotless baby giraffes yesterday, but this time I remembered.. picked the zipper carefully on one end and set it carefully aside.. I still couldn't touch them!)

Title: Re: Halloween Diorama 2011
Post by: Ronastoo on October 31, 2011, 07:58:03: I think if you have something out in your pumpkin patch that has a crow perched on it then it's probably a crowfriend and not a scarecrow. ;)

As usual, great display Tim!

(If you really want to scare the crows away, hire a dragon. We're much scarier!)

Thanks for the comments, each castle I do is a learning experience. They get better as I play with other ways of doing things. Of course I really need more Steck parts... ;D

I couldn't :(

I wish them well... I mean, I'd never harm them... But not near me... I feel so stupid. Here aren't any dangerous spiders.. unless some moron brought them over and let them go... but I'm TERRIFIED of spiders. It's really really STUPID. I can't even bring myself to handle the playmoones. :-[

I REALLY wish I was afraid of elephants or something... How many times in my life will I see a real elephant? And if I don't want to see one? NEVER!
