DIORAMA TERRAINS
by Rubén González
Wargame, fantasy and science fiction modelers now have a new material that
will revolutionize their way of understanding scenery. fiction now have at
their disposal a new material that will revolutionize their way of
understanding scenography. These new pastes incorporate a palette of colors
and finishes typical of this theme. Its texture will allow us to obtain the
necessary volume to cover any type of material used as a base for our scene.
In addition, we can use the pastes directly from the can or diluted with
water, adapting them to our needs. Once applied and dried, its super resistant
finish will allow us to use any other product, both to vary its color and to
adhere on its surface any element, either natural or artificial.
-
Despite the wide range of initial colors, their advantages include the possibility of combining with each other to obtain totally original and novel tonal variations.
-
Once the base of our scene has been prepared, something that we can easily do with a piece of foam, we can apply the paste directly from the can with a stiff bristle brush, spreading it all over the base.
-
If we need to reduce its volume, and at the same time modify its texture making it softer, we will dilute the paste with a little water.
-
We will also use water to integrate the elements added on the base to the terrain itself.
-
While the pasta is fresh we can add natural elements to complement the scene.
-
Although the smaller elements will be fixed when the paste dries, we can use white glue to ensure the fixation of larger elements.
-
Any medium is valid for painting both on the paste and on the natural elements added to the base.
Acrylics, filter glazes, washes,… everything is used to highlight all the details and increase the chromatism and visual richness of our work. -
The ideal complement to the pastes are the liquid pigments. Applied and mixed freshly on the ground once dry, their totally matte finish will allow us to obtain the appearance of almost any environment.
-
Fantastic vegetation will also become one of our best allies when it comes to achieving the atmosphere of our work. To integrate it correctly we can use the airbrush.
-
In addition to the vegetation, there are a number of accessories that we can use to help us locate our work properly.
