Model an Ultra Realistic Ocean and Speed Boat This was supposed to be a quick diorama because I wanted to do a step by step on foil waves for the book I am writing. Instead it became a testbed for new techniques and products. The ClearFix glue is an excellent find and I have already …

Mini Spacemen – Lost in Space Diorama This is the last of my mini spacemen dioramas. This one is a spaceman in his element – lost in space! I am still working on improving at painting metallics and this spaceship was the perfect practice using holomatic chrome by Alclad. I fell in love with these …

Making a Winter Wonderland I love modelling winter dioramas – they’re so easy and fun to do! When Noch approached me to make 4 short videos for their advent calendar series, I snapped at the chance – this is the complete video in one go. Snow is easily modelled with a variety of different powders …
The Mandalorian I love the Mandalorian series and I wanted my own! Full size was a bit beyond me so I 3D printed then painted an 1/8 scale figure which is about 9″ high. This was so much fun to do – even the sanding was therapeutic. It often feels that my job (which this …
Mini Spacemen – Pot of Gold I fell in love with these mini spacemen when I saw them on Instagram on Roman Lappart’s page. At just 15mm high, they are part of the Massive Voodoo Challenge 2020. You just need to create a diorama with a mini spaceman on it. The spacemen are resin casts …
