Diorama (pt 1, Terrain)

One of the things I most love doing is making miniatures, and today's post I will talk a bit about how I made terrain

A little while back around Christmas I got a bunch of different materials for making a miniature scenery. I used card board to make the terrain and cut it out layer by layer until I had what I wanted:

Next I bought a thing called "sculpamold" and the stuff that acts a lot like plaster in that it is like a gooey almost dough like substance that I can form and put onto the cardboard:

After that I painted the entire thing green for the grass, now I wasn't finished with the grass but I painted green so that what I sprinkled on top would not show any white underneath it. Next I took some "Woodland Scenics course turf" which is like fluffy green cotton but a whole lot smaller, I mixed that with some other darker stuff to really add some texturing to the terrain. After that I made tree's, I used the same course turf but without the darker stuff, and picked up some twigs from a Manzanita tree as it branched out a lot more. Then I applied the course turf by using spray on glue and did it layer by layer until it looked like a tree. Next I sprinkled some of the darker stuff onto the top of it for more of a realistic look to it. After that I did some smaller detailing to the terrain to give it more of a realistic look to it:

I had the strips of cardboard in the back as I was also making a stone path and when I applied the turf it didn't get onto the places I had it covered
