Marine Diorama - Pascale B

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new marine diorama. 

I primed the Porthole with black gesso. I primed the two parts of the porthole with black gesso. I added a piece of acrylic between the two pieces of the porthole. Next, I painted it with Silver Spoon acrylic paint. Next, I used the Rust Effect pastes set to alter the porthole.

I built a box that I covered with white crackle paste. When dry, I colored it with Prussian Blue liquid acrylic paints.

I added a piece of polystyrene at the bottom covered with 3D Gloss gel. While the gel was still wet, I added some sand to mimic the sea bed.

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso and the resin elements with clear gesso. I used liquid acrylic paints to color them and waxes to highlight the details. I covered The Cogs and the Pipe with Rust Effect paste. Next, I added some Brushed Iron wax. I cut the Pipes into pieces which I glued on the side of the box. 

I used a wooden skewer to create an axis between the biggest gear which was glued on the bottom and different sizes of gears. I added the other gears at the front bottom. 

I painted the sea elements with different colors of liquid acrylic paints. I painted the Angler fish with ochre paint, then with diluted silver paint. I glued a piece of toothpick behind all the chipboards to 

I added a few LEDs around the box and I made sure some of the LEDs reach the Industrial Globes I have glued to the ceiling.
