Reaper Amyrith Elmlighter on sculpted base by James
Call this the Woodland scenics special :-) I had been itching to do a waterfall for months, and this was my first shot. It does add a few days to the process of getting it done, since you have to let things set up overnight. It took three days just on the water effects as a result. The rocks and tree were done in the usual way, with lots of meta armatures, and using my rock collection to press the texture into the sculpey. I used an entirely different method of foliage on this piece. It was a combination of three foliage types, all from Woodland Scenics. Having the foliage along with the waterfall complicated things greatly, since I had to worry about digging the "fallout" from the nooks and crannies of the fake water! They kept wanting to stick to everything. Also, it had to be strong enough to survive being shipped. For all the work involved on this diorama, I was happy with the final result. I am posting three different views of this piece, so please no comments asking for more pics! :-)
