Nice work MINOS I voted and commented.

An excellent diorama, very characterful.
How did you do the walls?

 

[MINOS]

Je vais répondre en français...sory
Les murs (the walls ) sont en platre de moulage, ils sont gravés et texturés tant que le platre est encore \"frais\" c\'est à dire, quand il a prit ou durcit mais qu\'il n\'est pas sec, si il sèche c\'est pas grave, on peut le remouiller autant de fois que c\'est nécessaire
Ensuite peinture à l\'aide de lavis, brossage, applat...classique quoi ::duh:

 

[Trevor]

Thanks for the reply. Damn, why didn\'t I pay more attention in french class.

I got about half that though, where\'s frenchkid when you need him to translate?

 

[MINOS]

I want to make a tutorial on this diorama...i need some time for this...
Frenchkid can translate i supose...

 

[freakinacage]

please do - this is an awesome piece. i would especially like to know how you did the \'thing in the tank\' - it looks very cool!

 

[MINOS]

\'thing in the tank\' ....
entièrement sculptée en Duro (ma première sculpture !!! ça compte ça !!!)
ensuite peint bien sur, puis confection d\'un placenta en Duro aussi
Tout est ensuite placé dans un tube en plastique et j\'ai coulé une résine d\'inclusion
Pendant que la résine polymérisait j\'ai réalisé les effet de fluide en venant placer des gouttes de peinture trés diluées avec une aiguille, ces gouttes ont migrées petit à petit , j\'ai fais ça pendant au moins 4 heures pour répartir l\'effet...la résine commence à durcir au bout de 3.5 à 4 h ensuite il faut attendre 24h pour que la prise soit totale
C\'était la partie la plus dure du dio...
Un truc qu\'on ne voit pas sur les photos...ce réservoir peut être éclairé par une diode...dans le noir effet garanti

Here I am

Very nice minos I like it !! :flip:

No for the translation :
The walls are in plaster of paris , They are sculpted in the plaster will it is still \'fresh\' wich means they have started hardening but they aren\'t dry, if it dries to soon you can rewet it as many times as needed.
After that I did the usual dryburshing and basic painting nothing special.::duh:

The thing is the tank is a bit more complex to translate so I\'ll do it when I have time with my dictonarie next to me Cool fact though is that there is a LED in the tank allowing to light it up at night for extra cool effect

Might I be of some help ?

\'thing in the tank\' ....

\"Completely sculpted in Duro (my first sculpture!!! that counts!!!) then painted of course, then made a placenta out of Duro again. Everything is then placed in a plastic tube and I filled it with inclusion resin.

While the resin polymerised I gave the fluid effect by placing very deluted paint drops with a needle, the drops migrated little by little, I did that for four hours to evenly spread the effect...resin starts to harden after 3 and a half and 4 hours, then you have to wait 24 hours until it is completely hard.

It was the most difficult part of the diorama... One thing that can\'t be seen on the photos...the tank can be lit by a diode...it gives off a great effect in the dark.\"

I hope it\'s not too far of from the original version ... and : génial ton diorama Minos .

 

[LouisCypher]

that\'s great! i love the athmosphere in this diorama: it seems coming from \"Alien\" set!

really great work, i can\'t imagine a better setting for those minis!

I think you are now King of the Diorama.
Great stuff Minos,very atmospheric.
How about a shot of the tank in the dark with the led on?

 

[finn17]

Wowzers...

That has to be one of the best, dioramas on the site. Watch out Victoria!!!

 

[freakinacage]

thanks guys for the translations! i agree with finn - one of the best dioramas i\'ve seen

 

[Trevor]

Wow...

The resin effect looks great, but 4 hours to do the bubbles is insane! I think you need to put info like that in the post description.

 

[MINOS]

Pour une photo dans le noir...ok je vais essayer...
si si, 4 heures pour faire l\'effet en bas du tube oui !! mais pas en continu...je faisais autre chose en même temps
la résine c\'est trés long à prendre...si on met toute la peinture d\'un coup ça tombe au fond et fini l\'effet !!!

Even if it\'s quite direct, here\'s a little translation :

\"Ok I\'ll try to do a picture in the dark.

Yes, yes, it took 4 hours to do the effect at the base of the tube!! But not continuously ... I was doing something else at the same time resin takes a long time to harden ... if you put all of the paint at once it drops to the bottom and then that\'s the end of the effect !!!\"

Bravo Minos, magnifique diorama. Si tu fais un tutoriel et que FrenchKid n\'a pas de temps, je serai tres heureux de traduire (a defaut de bien peindre, je traduis bien :~()
