I didn’t want to make a Halloween Diorama like I did about 3 years ago because 🙄, but I fell by chance on that poem from Richard Brautigan. I saw thousands of pumpkins last night come floating in on the tide, bumping up against the rocks and rolling up on the beaches; it must be

It is the first time I’ve been counting the hours I spent on a diorama: for that one it’s a whooping 40 hours. It’s been inspired by picture by Dmitry KOKH who was the « Nature Photographer of the Year » in 2022 awarded by the Dutch based fondation «Nature Talks». It depicts polar bears squatting an

I did that one last July as an exercise of water making. The expérimentations I did on that one I used on my recent Lahire Diorama. It’s rather an unsound scene, but it’s probably my best sea so far, you can zoom on it, there are not much mistakes on it

Another sea diorama with a boat, a seagull and the sea

The biggest i ever did, premiered at SMC 2024

Sort of a challenge with ice and snow and lighting, it seems noone understood it when i aired it here and there, you have to see it on real to appreciate.

That diorama is situated in the Philippines in a derelict Spanish colonial house, the damaged furniture was fun to create. the king himself is a Great Hornbill.

A few weeks ago I was writing about how you need a complete idea before launching yourself in a project. Sometimes it takes me decades to get to that, but at other times the scene appears all ready in my head in a flash, and that’s the case here. I saw that bassin that is

The techniques for doing water from a stream are quite different from those that apply to the sea

That one is a story of a year old failure at doing a good diorama with that #sawfish I modeled some time ago. Once the resin basically failed, another time the diorama was just not good enough. And that one here I dropped 2 days ago on the tiled floor. And then here it was,

Baskunchak is a salt lake not very far from Ukraine.. The colours took me several weeks to fine tune.

Here’s a diorama I intended as being a cliché of everything nice and summer related, a holidays feel. the scale is more reduced than usual. I don’t know whetehr 1/48 or 1/72 would be best to qualify it.

I absoluteley don’t know whethere there are such paths leading to the sea in Scotland. I based that diorama on a picture I found on Instagram but couldn’t remind where it was shot. I’m particularly happy about the colouring despite the subdued feel of that scene. Finally I absolutely love to add herons in my

When the summer comes, I start again creating water related dioramas because the epoxy resin dries better. Here’s another Northem Sea diorama complete with driftwood and a bit of dark sea. Payne Gray rules!

Some Northern sea is did last October. The biggest seascape I ever did yet. Inspired by pictures taken on the Lofoten islands, near Norway.

That’s a very simple scene with a frigate bird and a light blue sea. I love doing such dioramas in the summer, before going to holidays.

The first of the tropics series. the idea is experimenting again with colour depth, epoxy resin sculpting and waves painting. Summer jobs..

That one is based on the picture of a woman bathing in ice.. a good pretext to model ice and to play with colours

1/35 Northern sea diorama based in Sweden, complete with little boats and another Heron! The little brother of Kamtchatka diorama
