Keith has more clever slices of modeling wisdom to share in the next batch of Digital Diamonds Mini-features I will be posting. Here they are:

Digital Diamonds #4

Please leave any comments or feedback on these here.

Thanks Keith!

Great idea - another good gem. Reminds us all that we have to be just as creative with our tools as we are with our kits.

I've just finished a "scratch-built diorama using the wooden floor sample shown in this article... while much of the floor is covered in debris, you can certainly see how it "did the job"....

I've had requests for "diamonds" on the following subjects... any others you'd like to add? I don't have answers to everything, but you might be surprised!

- creating water / waterfalls
- figure conversions
- tricks for working on interiors of dioramas
- lighting dioramas
- bases for dioramas
- working with specialty glues...

What else gang?

I'd like to see something on basic scratchbuilding, like tables, boxes, and barrels. This might be included in diorama interiors.
