Lawrence of Arabia ...

[stephane42]

Hello everyone!
Here's another new diorama under construction...Lawrence of Arabia and the Bedouins.












A photo in the creation and painting workshop.


Still a lot of work to do for the rest of the figurines...To be continued

Very nice work indeed.

The blanket on the fifth picture down is exceptional work.

The lines on the white back cloth might benefit from Mr Bessires black waterproof marker pen trick. It’s been a game changer for my Hungarians.

Best wishes,

Beautiful figures and wonderful paintjob on them, Stephane. Are they 3D printed or metal, as it appears on the left side of the last picture?

Thank you for your comments.
The shine in the sixth photo is a reflection of light...
The camel in the last one is a 3D print; I applied a first coat of white over it.
More photos coming soon.

Great characters and superbly painted. I'll stick with it.

[Wiking]

I know the Film and the scenes !
Where are your painted figures now ?

[stephane42]

Here are two more figurines...






It's progressing but slowly...

The last one’s blanket is fantastic.

Is a decal or a print.

I have been using the ‘print to size’ app for sabretaches which works quite well.

I pinched the idea from Egbert with his Nathan Brittles diorama.

Best wishes,

Chris

Hi Chris,
It's indeed a homemade decal. I find it adds finesse to the figurine and at the same time, a more realistic look.

You're right, Stephane, the effect is fantastic.

I second that!

These men and their camels looks very good. This will be a great scene, I am sure.
