How do you make them?

joesdios

thanks for showing interest robbie i use timber plaster modelling clay and away i go, i just enjoy making them are you into 1/6 scale.

coolwings

Joesdios:
These are really good.
I am very interested in seeing more.
Would you consider doing stage photos of the next diorama and letting us "watch it grow" in a thread purely for it?

Hi Coolwings, sorry i missed your earlier posts, im still getting to grips with working Boards.ie and i thought i replied to you back in september, but my son informed me that i didnt.

I just want to thank you for your continued intrest in my work, your comments are always positive and the recognition makes it all worth while. I really do appreciate it.

Im planning a new Diorama, i drew up a few sketches last week, ill start on it after Xmas but ill get my son to take stage photos and try to put together a detailed photo document of my work on the next Diorama.

Thanks again Coolwings, i look forward to your comments friend.

All the best

Hi everyone,

I have just finished a new Dio, an Irish rebel imprisoned in Kilmainhem Gaol after the 1916 easter rising, allowed one more prayer before the firing squad.

joesdios

Hi Coolwings

KENDEE

I also build models mate being doing it for years nice work buddy .iv done a few 1'6 scale over the years I'd soon run out of room the way I build .I have a dragon 2cm flak partly built if your intrested nice kit suit your figures it's been shelved years ago .

joesdios

Hi Kendee,
thanks for your comments I have the flak gun (horrible model to build ) and I know what you mean about space and 1/6th scale you should hear my wife ha ha.

KENDEE

Yea cool .I like your world war one dio and the kilmainham goal .I'd say making a dio of connlly in front of the firing squad in the stone breakers yard would need an Extension on ur house or a divorce .but it would be cool.

joesdios

Thanks Kendee you've put an idea in my head ,I think I might risk the divorce !

joesdios

Shane.

joesdios

No problem Shane and whenever you need a diorama give me a shout
Thanks JOE

Whizzzz

Excellent work as always. Any plans to put on an exhibition somewhere ?
Where do you buy the figures that you use ? (and do you make their clothes too ?)

joesdios

Hi whizzzz I did an exibition in Wexford a couple of months ago and I bring some small Dios to Clontarf castle toys and collectables show.I dont make the clothes I just give them a weathering effect and I make all the dioramas and furniture myself.My mate sells the figures if you are interested in anything let me know I'll be glad to help.Thanks for your comments Joe.
