Introducing Georassic Park

[Georassic]

Maybe Anky is fated to be a welcome mat for new DTF member-collectors, and one day I'll feel compelled to trade him myself. :-)

Thanks! My display is presently completely torn down...it's a window well exposed to the elements, so it gets filled with leaves and dust, and every rainstorm erodes parts of the diorama. So I took it all down a while ago, and this summer's hobby project will be to rebuild it better, more sustainable/manageable, and somehow shielded from the elements without blocking the window from sun and fresh air.
Good luck with yours!

wow awesome table! i have my own but its not as detailed and instead of a river i have a marshland but i really like yours!

Pretty good dioramas.
But my friend... You should not disclose which is your diorama entry from the contest.

Thanks for the compliments. As for disclosing my diorama, it's the only diorama I have, so I don't have a choice. It's not a table, it's a window well outside my basement! I tore it all out a year ago and I'm presently in rebuild mode, so my entry this year is actually a photo more than a year old.

Amazing a lot of hard work on this diorama i like it

It is true that contest dioramas should remain anonymous until the voting is over. Sharing them is against the rules and could result in disqualification. For this reason I have removed it from the post, but you are welcome to put it back when the contest is over.

Thanks, Dr. Admin. It's certainly not my intent to out my entry, and it didn't occur to me that Megalosaurus' post, or our combo of posts, inadvertently did either. Apologies for any and all breaches of protocol.

[Polihierax]

Looks amazing! 

[Everything_Dinosaur]

A very impressive diorama, well done you.

[Georassic]

Thanks Poli and E_D! The funny thing is, I have since disassembled the whole thing and started over from scratch months ago. The new diorama is nearly finished and I hope to start posting pictures in the coming weeks/months....

That's the coolest thing to have in a window well.  I can't wait to see the new version!

[Georassic]

Greetings, it's only taken a year, but finally, an updated version of my window well diorama, Georassic Park, in video. Since it's outdoors (and now screened in), my choices of weather-resistant materials (everything from plants to paint) are limited, so it can never be as nice as some of the diorama contest entries. But since I work from home and see out that window all day, the view beats bare boards and gravel.

Very nice idea to create such a diorama into an otherwise "poor view" window .... you used real and artifical stones/rocks. How did you make the water, looks like you used "Muggelsteine"(not sure what they are called in English,... glass nuggets?)?

Thanks, Lanthanotus. You are correct about the rock and water. The "rocks" are mostly a mix of real stones, which provide the stable foundation for many features, and painted wood and styrofoam. Except for one section of the cliff face, which I found at the model railroad store where I buy the trees; it was a discounted remnant of a large train diorama. The water is indeed a mix of glass nuggets, some acrylic as well. There are half a dozen different sizes/varieties that I use to try to convey different water effects.

Really like it!!!  Just Excellent!
