This diorama was built a couple of years ago. I was going to write a blog about it but didn't get around to do it.

I will do a quick build process here. The kit is by Bar Mills in HO scale. I was attracted by it unique architecture design and thought it should be a fun build. Kit fit together without any problems.

Lightly weathered.
Partially Assembled

The base elevation was built up with pink foams. The terrain contour was built up with DAS clay. On the flat surface, I sprinkled on Woodland Scenic fine foams then primed it with white color. Rocks, gravels, and pebbles were also added at this stage.

Based was painted a light tan color and washed with various shades of browns.

Rocks painted with light grey then used sponge to spot paint lime green, followed with painting in shadows and highlights and finally a wash with raw umber.

I need to process more photos to complete the build process. Stay tune!

Not sure what happened here. I checked the privacy setting, they are all set public. Anyway, I deleted the photos and reuploaded the pictures and edited the links in the post. Hopefully this will resolve the issues. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • The ripples in the stream was done by applying Woodland water effect and blended with a brush.


  • Trees are mostly made with Scenic Express super trees and Woodland tree trunks flocked with different foliage.

  • The picnic table was scratch build.


I really enjoyed making the stream and the waterfall BigGrin . Hope you like it.
