  • Today we talk about story telling with minis and dioramas, show the demise of poor poor Rufus, and find out the real story was the friends we made along the way.

    Well done, dear. I was never really surprised when my writing students excelled beyond their usual grade level when allowed to choose a vignette or photo of some action taking place upon which to write. Dioramas can feed the mind.

    Story. Yes, you nailed it. Trying to engage people's imagination so that they fill in the blanks is so on the money. I love that picture of you beardless! I also took some glamour shots at Wal-Mart. Best use of $17.99 ever. Excellent build and video Nick!

      Thanks T-Nu! Nothing like Walmarts I tell ya, where else can you get a portrait taken, teeth cleaning, new glasses, and a cart full of hot dogs at the same place?

      @@CCMinis When mentioning all of the fun things that Wal-Mart has to offer we overlooked: A fun game of fisticuffs with a total stranger over a handicapped parking space, food poisonig by those radioactive hotdogs in that sticky/stinky "restaurant" , and assaulted in the restroom. Also, don't forget everyday low prices!

    Wow what an incredible idea! I love the paint job and the trick woth the texture paint! You're absolutely right about the importance of telling a story with miniatures and dioramas. It add so much.
    I've always gone for "a moment in time" in my pieces and you captured this moment beautifully, well done!

    That's the reason why I like photography so much. It captures a single timeframe of a moment and leaves the past and future of that very moment open to the viewers' imagination. Very nice job!
    Speaking of photography, I like how you used that zoom lens as a lazy susan for the diorama haha.

      Those are foam pencil grips. They help with carpal tunnel. When I first started using them my hands cramped a bit more, but now they cramp less - ymmv
