I'm not sure if you're all aware on here but every weekend I post a video on my YouTube channel covering my weeks work. This includes any commissions I'm working on and other bits all so you can get a closer look at what goes into making the art pieces I make. Sometimes I include small building segments and other times it's simply me talking about what I've been up to. Either way it's something extra to the near daily post 😁

1/6th scale - Display diorama - door and walls - commission: Where I can over Christmas I've put together some of the final touches to this piece... In the reference images I'm using you'll see some framed letters on the wall which with out a closer look have been imagined to be diploma certificates of a sort and so I've put together these miniatures which I really enjoyed doing 😁 simply plasticard backing with some small pieces of plastic square rod cut to size for the frame. I then printed the certificates found online and cut to fit before painting the frames black. I then added in some clear packaging probably selvages from Christmas 👍 #certificates #recycling #diplomas #onesixthscale #fromscratch #figuredisplay #doctorwho #miniframes #drwho #doctorwhoart #whovians #dioramadisplay #commission #process #maker #bigchiefstudios #creativeart #actionfigurediorama #makermagic #handmade #pictureframes #actionfiguredisplay #scalemodel #scratchbuilder #art #dioramas #selftaughtartist #artistoninstagram #artisan #craftsmanship https://www.instagram.com/p/B6k3_CxH-x0/?igshid=k8s0yr62ej5h

1/20 scale Wardrobe from 'The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe diorama: Thought I'd rewind slightly just to show the development of turning plastic into wood 😂 I've started on the faux wood painting in a base layer of brown first and then using watered down shades of orange brown mixes it builds up the wood pattern - you have to brush in the same direction with each stroke to ensure the pattern is consistent. I used a coat of chalky paint on top of the primer which has added a texture to the surface in places. Also swipe to see the build up from left to right of the wattle and daub - I started with a vibrant yellow, toned it down with white and then placed in blotches of beigey yellow - still work to be done here! More to come later! #chroniclesofnarnia #narnia #thelionthewitchandthewardrobe #tltwatw #wardrobe #fauxwood #furniture #modelfurniture #making #makermagic #makersjourney #makersgonnamake #imagination #shadowboxart #creative #artist #handmade #scalemodel #scratchbuilder #art #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #boxdiorama #boxframe #cslewis #miniaturefurniture #woodenwardrobe #thechroniclesofnarnia https://www.instagram.com/p/B3wQ3APH9i2/?igshid=1cshvrhu5jqxp

1/6th scale - Display diorama - door and walls - commission: Finally got in the shed to put some primer on and it's tied it all together 👍 Next week I can focus on painting in the faux wood work - can't wait 😁 #primer #doorway #onesixthscale #fromscratch #figuredisplay #doctorwho #intheshed #drwho #doctorwhoart #whovians #dioramadisplay #commission #process #maker #bigchiefstudios #creativeart #actionfigurediorama #makermagic #handmade #bigiatures #actionfiguredisplay #journeyto2k #scalemodel #scratchbuilder #art #dioramas #selftaughtartist #artistoninstagram #artisan #craftsmanship https://www.instagram.com/p/B5yQSsoH1QT/?igshid=iz5g6d6lc93z

1/6th scale - Display diorama - door and walls - commission: Finally finished, I have really enjoyed putting this very different diorama together but captures the essence of what I'm always trying to achieve, a memory or a moment in time (this being a doctor who moment in time) and creating it with accuracy and realism. I was so looking forward to painting in the faux wood, do you think it works? Let me know in the comments? Now to ship it off to its owner for them to display some figures with! I can't wait to see the photos! 😁 #fauxwood #doorway #onesixthscale #fromscratch #figuredisplay #doctorwho #thisweekindioramas #drwho #doctorwhoart #whovians #dioramadisplay #commission #process #maker #bigchiefstudios #creativeart #actionfigurediorama #makermagic #handmade #bigiatures #actionfiguredisplay #opendoor #scalemodel #scratchbuilder #art #dioramas #selftaughtartist #artistoninstagram #artisan #craftsmanship https://www.instagram.com/p/B608nrhHoFR/?igshid=108qalcna7mqy
