Heavy Gear Blitz Diorama – part 2.
I made this diorama over 5-6 months (20-25 hours of work in total) in 2022.
In the following articles, I will cover the production thematically through the following units:
• Painting, camouflage and weathering on figures (robots and trucks)
• Manufacturing and installation of parachutes
• Making the base
• Adding Texture
• Painting of palm trees - already described here.
• Additional vegetation
• Adding narrative details to the diorama (foot with rocket launcher, landing ramp on the plane, camouflage tarp on the trucks).
Izrada i montaža padobrana
This part of making the diorama was extremely frustrating, mainly because I worked with inadequate materials the first 2-3 attempts, only after I ordered a 3d printed parachute hat from a man in Taiwan, in conjunction with styrene (eng. plasticard) sticks managed to adequately strengthen the structure of the parachute. The first attempts are visible in the pictures below:
And using copper wire is problematic due to the fact that it is extremely strong, but also not flexible, so I wasted more time securing and re-gluing the rope than painting and arranging, not to mention I got my fingers stuck several times in these endeavors. Also, despite the weak strength, I tried to draw some kind of camouflage on the old shoot, using the same technique as in the first article.
After getting a good semisphere and using styrene sticks as ropes, the end result can be seen in the pictures below:
