I recently put myself down for a diorama challenge on
the official Infinity forum with the theme being ice and
snow. This is what I came up with.
It was my first play around with snow and ice type products
and I am very pleased with the outcome.
Basically its a 1 x 1 foot board with styrene used to
create the ice shapes. To create the snow and ice I used Soft
Flake Snow from Woodland Scenics and the ice is WS Water
Effects. I added a few bits of left over parts to create the
small jetty at the bottom right and a scratch built power source
for the radar. The radar is a £3.99 ebay special.
The Panoceania Fusilier has been slightly converted so
he is holding a range finder and I scratch built some skis
and sticks to give the impression he is on patrol.
The hardest bit for me was trying to blend the diorama into
the photographic backdrop and make it look seemless.
I will take some more pictures shortly to show more of the base
and a close up of the Fusilier.
