How to make a wood cutting mini-diorama scene

In this step-by-step tutorial I show you how to make a natural miniature diorama. The scene is an outdoor chopping log, complete with an axe and some split firewood. Learn how to make a realistic earth base, how to easily apply static grass, how to make wild flowers, and how to sculpt your own tree stump using aluminium foil and air drying clay. I promise, it's not hard, anybody can do this!

You are happy with it, we are very happy with it, Davo! Excellent tutorial. Damm those pesky neighbours with their power tools!!

[@valborchardt3596]

Oh wow Dave. Hard to believe it was just some foil and modeling clay before. Turned out awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@georges.8269]

[@seyestudio4971]

I'm glad to see different natural model work .. Thank you.💙💙

[@lancecaldwell3874]

Excellent work! One of your best video's. Thought of useing a small ball of crumpled foil too press a bark pattern on. Then blend with your sculpt tool. As well as coiling paper into a spiral shape and press the rings in. Excellent work Dave!

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Lance Caldwell ah, that’s a good idea to get more texture on the exterior bark. Nice.

[@styrenehelp]

Dave, another fantastic video. Really loving the axe handle technique.

[@usssaratogacv3lefevre978]

Great video Dave, really like the use of all the different mediums. I'm happy with it. Really nice job.

[@kerryadams8922]

Great video update Dave I always learn something from your videos the use of filler (foil) with a skin of clay is brilliant way to make a diarama THANKS KA

[@billbrowning3021]

Ah, the irony. Dave's building a wood chopping block and his neighbor is using a chainsaw...It looks really good

[@MojoDevirus]

Another beautiful piece Dave. !!!

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Mojo Devirus thanks!

[@garyparker2969]

Totally Awesome Tutorial Dave. Aluminum Foil for a sub-base is a Brilliant idea, adding a Ton of Texture, Thank You for Sharing n have a Blessed wknd Brother

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Gary Parker thank you mate, and you too.

[@capatainnemo]

if you had rolled out the clay for the base you could have used even less

[@soonersteve3733]

Loved this video Dave! Really liked the way you made the flowers. By the way I’ve been saving the foil from the wife’s empty wine bottles. Haven’t used any yet on my current build but just playing with it to see what I can do with it. Keep the videos coming!

[@HalidonDioramas]

Very nicely done Sir, looks very realistic. Where did you get the display dome, I cant find a reliable source in Australia?

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

I bought this from Ikea, they have a range of glass domes wit display bases all under $20.
