It is very important not to miss small details in building
a diorama because this will add to the realism of your work.

PAPIER MACHE

This concoction is very easy to prepare.

You need old newspaper. Newsprint is very very easy to work
with water since it crumbles and dissolves easily.

After squeezing excess water out of the “dough”
pour in a generous amount of elmer’s glue and mix
thoroughly.

You will have a lump of very soft papier mache.

cut out some foamboards and stick this to a base.
this will be the structure for the lionhead.
i did this because it will save me time and papier mache.


THE BASE

The 2-way road is 7-8 meters in width (approx. 7cms from
your steel ruler in1:72-87 scale)

Cut out 2 pieces of white carboard based from dimensions acrylic base.
Cut out the road and elevate at 1 inch from the cork board.

It need not be as high as your reference picture because
you will end up with a very tall diorama thereby spending
Quite a lot of money for the acrylic case.



thanks for the interest .
