So after the last post we are ready to start painting the base.
Preshading
- First I prime in black the diorama, including the clock that makes up the base.
- Second I white prime the diorama, excluding the base this time, from a high angle. These two steps make for easy shadows. Near the border between the desert and base I use a curved piece of cardboard to keep the white paint (and all future layers of paint) off the black base.
