The inspiration for this dry stone wall diorama came from spending many hours walking on Dartmoor. I love the way the walls there were created by hand using traditional techniques.
Although there are many products on the market that can be bought to help modellers recreate this feature, I find that inevitably the final result is too uniform and can present limitations when working with undulating terrains. Therefore, I have reverted to using the traditional techniques ‘in miniature’. It requires a lot of patience but I think the end result is worth the effort.
This diorama gave me the opportunity to work with grey stones and a range of static grasses from WWS and Woodland scenics. I was also fortunate enough to win a static grass applicator in a WWS Facebook competition so I used this diorama to put it to the test! (It’s brilliant by the way!)
I hope my video is of interest to anyone who enjoys making dioramas, model railways or war gaming layouts.
I hope you agree that the final photographs demonstrate how easy it is to create something that looks realistic. Why not have a go yourself?
