Bonjour à tous ! Je vois que vous êtes de plus en plus nombreux sur ce Forum et cela fait plaisir. Merci à tous de partager vos idées et vos assemblages. Aujourd'hui, je partage avec vous quelque chose de nouveau et de créatif. En regardant des dioramas très diverses sur internet, cela m'a inspirée. Je me suis dit que je commencerai avec Optimus Prime. 

Il fallait que je trouve une figurine en plastique ni trop chère ni trop grande juste pour m'entraîner. 

Tout a commencé par une vision. Dans ma tête, j'avais cette image d'Optimus Prime en train de courir sur les collines couvert de boue et de rayures s'échappant de la bataille.

Après avoir trouvé une figurine, j'ai d'abord pratiqué quelques poses à la maison.

Il m'a fallu ensuite sourcer tout le matériel, ce qui prend plus de temps que s'atteler à l'art. J'ai déjà du matériel chez moi vu que je fais toujours quelque chose d'artistique. 

Comme support, j'ai tout simplement recyclé l'emballage d'une peluche chauffante Warmies  (voir sur la photo ci-dessous avec le cerf) qui contient un sachet à réchauffer au micro-ondes. Entre parenthèse, il faut savoir que je suis super frileuse, j'ai toujours froid !

J'ai recouvert la boîte entière de papier craft pour obtenir du relief.  Ensuite j'ai posé par dessus un papier plus spécial Décopatch marron, qui est un papier super fin que l'on peut recouvrir avec du vernis colle de la même marque Décopatch (photo ci-dessous) et cela durcit (comme par magie !)

J'ai collé Optimus Prime (avec un pistolet à colle) et je me suis mise au travail de peinture. Voici ce que cela donne. Encore un peu trop brouillon.

Bien sûr, il faut plus de travail dessus pour un effet un plus réalistique. J'ai donc décidé d'ajouter un arbre (fait à l'aide de bâtons et de la mousse), de coller de la mousse, des cailloux, du gravier et du sable sur le décor et un peu sur Optimus Prime.

Le tout est maintenant de tout peaufiner !

Pour l'instant, mon diorama ressemble à ceci. Je vais peut-être faire plus d'améliorations.

Mon objectif est de recréer ce diorama sur une plus grande échelle pour la maquette d'Optimus Prime une fois qu'elle sera finie 🙂

 

À qui le tour ??

Hello everyone ! I see that there are more and more of you on this Forum and that is a pleasure. Thank you all for sharing your ideas and your assemblies. Today I am sharing something new and creative with you. Looking at very diverse dioramas on the internet inspired me. I figured I'd start with Optimus Prime. 

I had to find a plastic figure that wasn't too expensive or too big just to practice on. 

It all started with a vision. In my head I had this image of Optimus Prime running down the hills covered in mud and scratches from the battle.

After finding a figurine, I first practiced a few poses at home.

IMG_4295.thumb.jpg.e90a5f34924184a90a1042dea2496979.jpg 

I then had to source all the material, which takes more time than tackling the art. I already have materials at home since I'm always doing something artistic. 

As a support, I simply recycled the packaging of a Warmies heating toy  (see in the photo below with the deer) which contains a sachet to be heated in the microwave. As an aside, you should know that I'm super chilly, I'm always cold!

IMG_5645.thumb.jpg.c151bc66c49fa5e755afe90dcc13fdfc.jpg

I covered the entire box with craft paper. I have relief. then on top of a more special Decopatch brown paper, which is a super thin paper that can be covered with varnish glue from the same brand Décopatch (photo below) and it hardens (like magic!)

I glued Optimus Prime (with a glue gun) and got to work painting. Here's what it looks like. Still a little too messy.

Of course, more work is needed for a more realistic effect. So I decided to add a tree (made using sticks and moss), stick moss, pebbles, gravel and sand on the scenery and a little on Optimus Prime.

IMG_5640.thumb.jpg.07b462ba4a968bcc646e0a8dfceab296.jpg

 

The key now is to fine-tune everything!

Some details...

Right now my diorama looks like this. Maybe I'll make more improvements.

My goal is to recreate this diorama on a larger scale for the Optimus Prime model once it is finished 🙂

That is very well done Delphine, 👏 you certainly do have a very creative touch, if only all of them in the rest of the world were just as creative, we may find there wouldn't be so much trouble as we see these days.

I can see what your plan is and I will wish you every success and can't wait to see it.

Amazing stuff and so interesting Delphine. 🙂

Thank you so much Phil for these kind words 🙂 

Creating the same diorama on a much bigger scale will take some time 😉 I have to finish the build first. I'm only half way through. But keep an eye as there will be other dioramas to come before as I'm working on few at the same time  🙌

Très beau rendu @Delphine, 

On a tous hâte de voir tes réalisations 😍

Très original ton décors, mais je ne savais pas qu'Optimus Prime était aussi méchant avec les animaux sauvages.

Déloger ce pauvre petit cerfs de son abris pour s'y mettre, c'est aussi méchant que le Bernard l'Hermite 😜

How are you progressing Delphine with Optimus? He sure is one heavyweight! ☺️

@Phil Thank you for asking 🙂 I need to fix an issue with his right leg before starting with PACK 10. Optimus Prime is at the hospital having surgery on his right leg at the moment 🤣 🤣 But worry not, he will be on the mend and on his feet in a couple of weeks 😃 (well I hope... depending on the diagnostic)

Aww you'll have to send him to Optimus Ospital  🤣🤣.

Let's hope he can get the best surgery given, seriously though I really hope you can sort his health out...poor old Optimus, if Megatron finds out  he is sick, he'll make a move on Optimus 😆

Nice to speak to you again Delphine 😊

Diagnostic : he is actually absolutely fine!! No surgery needed! Phew!!! 

All it was is the height adjustment thanks to the yellow circles. Which is such a clever principle. 

The good news is : there's no need to panic if it happens to anyone 🙂

Delphine, well done my friend! You're the best doctor for our Optimus in the world! 🌎

Yes the height adjusters are a fine addition to this beautiful model. Now you can proceed Delphine 😊😉

😇 Lovely work on pack 10 Delphine! You can really feel Optimus growing in stature and to really know he is going to be one very mighty model.

Hope you enjoyed pack 10 Delphine, take care 💯👌
