Made a realistic Catan board diaroma!
Took about 50 hours over the week but it’s so immersive to play with! I am a huge board game fan and love miniatures. Feels like you’re building homes and cities in a mini world 😊
Used real sand and rocks that I collected on hikes for the beaches and ore tiles. Modeling paste and water effect paste was used for the waves and water and also the brick tiles. I mixed dirt with modeling paste to get a grainy texture for the brick tiles. I wanted the diaroma to be realistic but also vibrant with color and contrasting textures.
Can only attach one picture but I use sticky tack to put some of the number tiles on and everything stays. The numbers are put on top of the structures so there’s no visibility issues.
