I absolutely love this diorama .So much so I am attempting one very similar for my legends display . your work is amazing .thank you for the inspiration. and all the info you put out there to teach others
Thank you embo! I picked up those lights at the Dollar Tree stores. They look like minature desk lamps and they have batteries already built in. So they are pretty much ready to use right off the package. I did repaint and weathered them to look more realistic. I plan to make a series of shorter tutotrials and how to videos that covers these kind of subjects later.
This came out great. One question: when you use the elmers spray adhesive, doesn't it leave the surface sticky? Or do you just seal over that with an acrylic sealer. Thanks
Plastic Mayhem It does stay sticky for a couple of days, so you need to let the glue dries out completely first before putting anything with weight on it. You can then coat it with a another seal if you want but you don't have to since the elmer spray glue is like a seal already.
+kairus1 Sorry for the late reply. You can definitely use clear cd cases for windows or glass. The only thing that i don't like that material is that it takes more time to cut or can be difficult to cut.
Wow!!! That turned out fantastic!! All that hard work you put into it really shows!! Great job!!
hondasan72 Thank you very much bro.
The street came out perfect!!! Gonna have to go search all over Al's channel to learn how to do something similar.
