George – let me say many, many thanks to your kind words.
Well, what you all see here is the result of experiences for more than ten years. A lot of time, and a lot of things being learned.
( there are dioramas being build three or even four times until they look like today . . . :rolleyes: ) So it´s still difficult !
As mentioned there are only natural things in use, like real branches for the trees and:
real moss for the grass ! This real moss turns itself into brown after eight months . . .
Mmmmhh . . . nevertheless I use it !
So- there is an exception on the grass in the Theodred-diorama:
I use „synthetic-grass“ from a German offerer called „ Heki“. ( http://www.heki-kittler.de ) : heki flor Nr. 1566 .
But I think you will find georgous stuff at woodland scenics ! For me they are the best in “synthetic-things”.
I am happy you like the book and I am happy that my work inspires you.
Feel free to ask my whatever you want, George, if it´s possible for me it would be a pleasure to help you!
Thanks for reading

The Man created ( and still do, of course ) marvellous miniatures. You can put them on a coat of paint on and place them into a diorama . . .

June 7, 2009 at 4:45 pm #5645Excellent idea and paint job, rita.de … yes, and I do very much like your way of adding those accessoires. I guess you built those ruins yourself. Wonderful.
June 7, 2009 at 5:34 pm #5647Excellent Job!!! Cool looking diorama.

Very, very nice!!!June 7, 2009 at 10:30 pm #5651rita.de wrote:In these times of trouble people often forget the main thing. What is mithril about ?

Another great piece there, you’re putting us all to shame , I must get my finger out and crack on with some stuff.
I agree with your words completely.
June 8, 2009 at 2:02 am #5653Christoph – wonderful, wonderful work!
You sure know how to capture a moment in time.. the mood, the ambience, the visual impact – all great work!
George
June 8, 2009 at 7:31 am #5655Hut ab mein Freund. Sehr beeindruckend!
If there is another painting competition from Mithril you should go for it!June 29, 2009 at 12:16 pm #5969I was busy the last week, though the weather was quiet nice in this part of Germany.
I have finished the Halforc standard-bearer of the new range, a very fantastic figure by the way.
I give the pictures to Master Michael as well, maybe he will post them on the webside . . .
Why this one: he will be converted . . .
I will try to give him a larger standard, so these picture shows a state of art which will be changed very soon . . .
Hope you will like that Halforc.[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_517_a.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_517_a.jpg[/imgz]

June 29, 2009 at 12:57 pm #5970Absolutely great, rita.de. I also like the way you take your photos very much, excellent atmosphere.
June 29, 2009 at 2:14 pm #5971Very realistic choice of colours. I’d love to see armies of those …
June 29, 2009 at 3:12 pm #5972Very well done Christoph!
June 29, 2009 at 10:10 pm #5973As usual a pleasure to behold .
July 1, 2009 at 10:27 am #5976Thank you for your kind words, gentlemen. You can believe me, it counts a lot to me !
August 20, 2009 at 3:44 pm #6564Cannot wait to see more of your beautiful work. Great palettes on all of them!!
August 20, 2009 at 10:40 pm #6574Hey Maeneas, thank you for your compliment. Maybe there is a chance on facebook to see more of my work.
There are some people around here you will find there as well . . .August 31, 2009 at 6:29 am #6710Master from Mirkwood…. only I have not commented on this your great topic. I have a feeling that your way of mixing colors perfectly complements my vision to figures should appear. Finally, a few of them I have changed some details to look a little more realistic after I saw your work… On facebook I left a few comments, but this diorama with Rohan warriors is simply the best … Yesterday I picked up in grandma’s garden, a small splinter, and I will make a Diorama on it just like you. 😆
soon ! I see the end I left another gloomy picture of the atmosphere on my topicNovember 1, 2009 at 4:15 pm #7606I know somebody deeply wants to see this result: The Lost Range- Halforcs of Saruman.
What a pity that these magnificent halforcs didn´t go into production. Sometimes the ways are inscrutable . . .
Lucky men- who have some or even all of them. I hope you will like them, the chapter halforcs is closed.[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_lostrange001.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_lostrange001.jpg[/imgz]

November 1, 2009 at 4:34 pm #7608“chapeau” !!!, Master Rita.de …. very impressive .. as always your presentation of figures is ….
These are rare figures and “dammed-well painted”, as Master Gavin would say.
The additional standards you made make this piece even more expressive, accorging to the watercolours in the background … thank youNovember 1, 2009 at 5:34 pm #7609Retrieving a comment from Facebook …. fast…. I’m going now 😆
what a beautiful diorama… you must put all orcs together….
