Daves Tugboat Diorama






After the road dried completely I painted the areas where sand would be light tan. The areas where there is dirt are painted caramel color. I use acrylic house paint that comes in one-pint containers at the hardware store.




I used Linka stone molds to make plaster castings for my bridge abutment. I have a short how I cast plaster on my Fotki page:


I chiseled the foam square and fitted the stone pieces just below the surface of the road.

What an excellent, well thought out, atmospheric diorama! The step by step narration and photos were also great! Thanks for sharing that with us!
