There’s a project we’re working on for which we’ll need to do a lot of terrain and diorama work. The painting is straightforward and we’re quite familiar with terrain.

But dioramas? I didn’t even do those in school…

This was a proof of concept piece. We wanted to see what we could do, and how well we could do it. It’s made of:

• styrofoam (the stuff with balls, not that XPS magic we can’t get out here)

• toilet paper and white glue

• dental plaster casts

• scratch-made flock and clump foliage

• 3d printed components

• two-part resin

Is it great? No. A lot of areas were identified in this exercise for further learning and practice. Is it promising? Very much. We’re doing more pieces (mainly, I’M doing more pieces) to develop this as a skill and see where it takes us. A year from now, who knows? Maybe we’ll be making terrain boards.

Paintedfigs is a miniature painting service. You can send us your figurines to paint, and we also have painted miniatures for sale. We paint mainly Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Bloodbowl, and so on), Star Wars, Warmachine and Hordes, and pretty much every Kickstarter and board game under the sun.

And we do so at the lowest rates on Earth (we’ve checked).
