My friends, here’s the first part of the diorama painted 😁 The pier for the water wheel. It was a great starting point because it’s small yet contains most textures found on the mill.
I was a bit skeptical about the rusted metal on top of it bud real life references show these parts as boring, brown surfaces, so I just went along with that.
Now I can happily apply these methods to the mill 😊 Completely acrylic, by the way!
