The nicest scene i modelled so far

[Bernhard]

I am fascinated by your approach to model building. The result is great.
But these geometric concentric circles in the water convince me less. It doesn't really look natural. One rather has the impression that there is an underwater spring.

Bernhard

[Daniel]

Thank you, Bernhard, for your attention and comment.

Yes, you are right about the water and after that several modifications followed as you'll see in later posts.
It remains a tricky job and also if i've got some progress i am far from satisfied.
I will soon try a total different approach: a 190+ mm diameter X, say, 30mm thick massive plaster disc casting mounted on the lathe. There will be easy to model boith, an effective concentric sequence and the correct asimetric profile of the waves, make a positive pattern and take a silicone rubber mold of it from which will be easy to get a bit flexible but totally transparant copies.
What i don't know yet is if it will be posible in this diorama because the essential of the scene are the three figures in the water which i wouldn't like to remove for the change... But... one never knows so we'll see.
The diorama is not completed yet and will probably take me the rest of the year to get it done, but i really love working on it and posting it's tiny story is getting the enthousiasm awake for the re-start.

B.t.w.: i REALLY appreciate your critic. It is good, essential nutritious food for the modeller!

Regarding 'my' aproach to modelling, i've learnead from thousands of modellers including many 'newbies' who came often with innocent but deliciously provocative questions that brought new light on old 'knowledge'. But Woody Green, Kim Marsh and Henk Wust where for me essential refferences and sources of inspiration. 
Still, i found the rock under my feet when reading J. Krishnamurti's work i realized the difference between friction energy and the unintentioned energy emerging from true attention. I was really surprissed to discover that attention is quiet a different thing than focus! That changed and keeps changing it all for me and is delightful.

.. and flood the mind with new posibilities...

IMG_0153 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

None of these trees if glued in place. They are all just pinned so i can learn...

Poor things, they have had all several years of nomad life and are now needing the new folliages and some retouches that are already in preparation...

IMG_0151 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

Now we call it this or that but before words spoiled our minds we called simply playing which was the mother of finding out...

If you think i 'knew' i was going to do all this you are totally wrong. I'm learning it underway.

Tiny things as this... i love to learn the such!
See how the the staircase in the last building of the row attracts the attention of the eyes: it is the rhythm! Rhythms are to the eyes what chocolate is to the palate! And in this case, it conveys the attentiopn toward deep in the scene. At the same time, that conferes the tree canopy an including function and the viewer feels the desire to walk in.
Trees know plenty of such tricks but only attention knows them all!

Not so much a model as a sculpture. Art. -- Russ

Thank you Russ.

If considered a model, i should say i was building a model of what i didn't know so you're right, it isn't.

Art? I don't think so...: art has probed to be incapable of letting go the mind and it's intention and by that lost it's only chance to gain real presence.

Probably what i do is simply playing in freedom as i did wile being a little kid which is the only truly serious thing i've learned trough almost 72 years in this world and the only thing i can contribute to the forum. 

Daniel

[Ray Dunakin]

These old-fashioned buildings have so much charm, and the variety of structural materials is visually appealing.

[Daniel]

Ray

Oh, yes, they do!

The slow but never finished vanishing of medieval traces and the growing appeareance of iron and motor vehicles in popular daily life create a beautiful an elastic sense of time...
Also the mix of old rudimentarily hand shaped wood boards and beams with the 'new' machined ones ... and the way that slowly changed the still visible 'old ways' of doing...

And sometimes one find some tiny jewels claiming their right to be in a diorama...


IMG_0033 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr


Hard to believe that this diorama was inspired by this single photo...

IMG_0033 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr


... and pulled by images as these...

These are the three figures i mentioned...

IMG_0024 (3) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0026 (3) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0027 (3) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

I (alsmos) never touche figures. I know what i see is not haw it looks and rarelly is the surprise enlarged photos gives me acceptable. But with animals i thought may be...

I disliked the result at every intent of painting them because the much too glad, unrealistic surfaces. After a while i learned that the keyt thing for me to learn was the direction of the hair in the different areas of their body. Then i got a new frienship:

IMG_0004 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0003 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

thew image below shows under the original surface (still under putty in neck and head) and above the'sanded'one:

IMG_0006 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0007 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

I found that sanding just once in the right direction, not going back but tilling the sandpaper, moving it to the side and starting another one way course beside the previous worked fine...

Hier under the first intent

To be honest: i was very surprised and liked it a lot so decided to  do the only horse in an appropriate atitude iwas able to steal from a french cavalry official...

IMG_0040 (2) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

Another mayor modification was to convince all three animals to step into and not on the water. In the doubt i tried again with the three reemplazable ones while i was planting some tall grass at the water edge...

I considered embeding a piece of track so the still unfinished ROWAN steam railcar could stand but it would have been too much and spoiled the atmoshere of very tranquil small village day, so...

IMG_0002 (48) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0005 (45) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0007 (40) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

... the idea humbly vanished.


... ... ...

NO, don't blame the poor cow! It is just a new layer of gloss acrylic lack poured after cutting a bit the legs of the animals and glueing them in place...

The lack is not as much as it seems.No more than 1,5 to 2mm and once dry is really gloss.

IMG_0072 (6) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

Then, when i noiticed i had lost track of the water theme, i tried to get ahead in a confusing, for me ununderstandable way, which often provides the best results...(... but not always!)

Unable to get certain of doing something right with the water, i tried to distract the laught of the muses by doing other things...

The horse was m original drinking from a bucket so it should be good, i thought, but i needed to shorten a bit his neck so the nmouth would touche the water...

Slowly, the for me ununderstandable mix of acrylic lack, modelling paste and gell started to dry and fortunatelly i got distracted from it as you will now...

This was prepared before but with only a vague idea that would be usefull for making 'a fence or something'.
It is, again, stained Sisal but this time sticked onto two parallel strokes of paper tape and added two also parallel PVA strokes meant to keep them aligned once the tape would be removed... (The image shows it after removing the tape and cutting straight the edges.)

Meanwhile i was SÓ confussed about the water that  tried to solve it witjh an old idea:

IMG_0023 (25) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

i made a pattern with a piece of textured glass -no idea how is called- wanting to get a silicone rubber mold from it but halfway discovered the remaining silicone wouldn't be enough so i...

IMG_0001 (42) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0006 (45) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0008 (42) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

IMG_0009 (40) by Daniel Osvaldo Caso, on Flickr

So i didn't. Instead understood i was in better state to play with the greenery...
