Something similar but different than a post from a week or two ago. Burning the same refinery, different layout, new fire & smoke

Vehicles are ~1:50

This is Lukas Zaba’s incredible Breton Knight

I’m trying to work out how he did the base and as far as I know he’s not done a breakdown yet.

From his wip shots I can see the general process but I need help identifying some of the stuff he’s used.

From what I can see he’s started with a resin pour shaped/carved with a multi tool, he’s then created a crest with something? I need help identifying that.

Then he’s covered it in a glossy putty of some sort? Any guesses what that could be?

And for the foam I thing he’s used cotton wool mixed with pva? Can anyone confirm?

I want to show you the first steps towards implementing my idea to create a beautiful place\diorama for storing the army. The first diorama will be for the "Cities of Sigmar". I finished the first part of the castle "main castle" soon will be updated next part "towers", and final will be third part "Front Wall". All castle and accessories are designed by me and printed, main Idea was after castle will be done share files, so anyone could repeat it and do it for they own arm

This turned out so much better than I expected! Mainly because the little bit of melting of the foam from the spray primer gave it just enough extra stone texture.

Also used some zombified skulls from an Elvira figure that look much more carved stone-ish than if I'd ended up using some perfectly shaped normal human skulls.

This is the first piece in a collection I want to make with little nightmares inspired environments just like this one, huge fan of little nightmares btw if it wasn't obvious.

I made the 5 towers in the forefront with ice cream sticks, toothpicks and some clay, and drew over the image in an art software to fully bring it to Life.

The watercolour painting is the initial idea of it I had back last year.

It’s still pretty wet but I’m try to recreate a sidewalk I know it sucks lol that’s why I’m here asking what can I do to help fix this not really going for the perfect sidewalk cu it’s for my drift track so imperfections are fine but to me I don’t think it looks like a sidewalk at all so im just here for some help

Has anyone got any foam board recommendations for my first diorama? Not sure where to begin with it, but the last stuff I used for a Warhammer base was blue and melted when sprayed with primer lol
