I’m new to the forum, thank you for making it such a welcoming group!
I’m turning 50 this year, from the States, just started painting this past December.
I love the Roman Imperial period. I started off trying to get experience in several areas of building dioramas. Below are my first two “learning experiences” as I like to call them that I made over the last few months.
I wanted to work with figures from as many different manufactures as possible. These are the first ones I’ve ever painted. I went with legionnaires marching to get some practice with repetition, trying to figure out better ways to paint each one as I went from a ridiculously wide brush down to ones that I never knew could get so small.
I tried my hand at my own creations - the shield wall made with Milliput, and made an unbelievable mess trying to learn the best way to apply grass!
Thank you to the guys that have reached out to me on improving my bases! I’m excited to hear everyone’s tips and techniques hopefully get to your level of skill someday.
The photos are of two different dioramas.
I hope you enjoy, thanks!
Dave
