The Most Beautiful Espeon and Umbreon Diorama You'll Ever See!

Hello my name is Leo and welcome to my channel today we are going to make an evolutions

diorama

as always I will start with the base

most

of the time I use XPS foam for this part here you can see the next thermocat which is mainly used to cut straight lines, but you can also use it to cut all kinds of different shapes for this project. I decided to use a round base. This circle will be a place for the fountain that will come soon. I'll cut the edges and smooth them with sandpaper now. It's time to build some stone bricks for the fountain.

I like to remove the rough edges to give them a more natural look and get some diversity. I will make bricks of different sizes being as smart as I am. I discovered that you can't form a circle. of uniform shapes, so remember to cut things before gluing them, for now let's continue making the rest of the bricks with the last rest in place. We can proceed to make the second level of the fountain. This part of the cut can be tricky because you need to get a flat surface on the inside with a little finger magic and a little sanding, anything is possible.

Well as a source I personally like to use a pencil when it comes to carving various stone structures it's not too harsh on the foam and actually does the job very well now comes the fun part just roll it into a ball with aluminum foil and Roll it over your phone to give it a nice texture for the inside of the fountain. I used plaster of paris, just be careful to use small amounts. At the same time, since it dries very quickly after

ever

ything is dry, it's time to sand it to get a smooth surface and make things more interesting.

I decided to add double entries to the source. The pillars were a little difficult to make if you know a better one. how to make them, tell me in the comments section. The roof took me a couple of tries, but I think I did a good job in the end. Let's start assembling the bottom of the lantern where I will drill the hole. In order to place the LED lights for the fire I soften the edges with the pencil and use the aluminum ball to get the same texture as the bricks of the fountain when it comes to the Rocks I always start painting with the black paint because when it dries brush some lighter colors on top, you got some cool shadows and all the textures just pop out.

The trick with fire is to use barely heated glue so you don't end up melting

ever

ything, use a toothpick to get a small amount of glue and if you do it right, you can make little spikes that will simulate flames at the bottom of the base. I marked and cut the space for the LED switch. I found these wonderful mini LED lights that come pre-wired. This is the first time. Time working with anything electrical related, so don't judge too much how I made it work to isolate and fix everything in place. I used a lot of hot glue, it should also seal all the holes, so after pouring the resin there shouldn't be any leaks after finishing the electrical part it's time to paint the rest of the builds black.

I like to color the ground in brown before putting in any details just to give a more natural look later to the interior of the fountain I chose. gray paint immediately since I will be pouring the resin inside and there is no need for shadows as I mentioned before. I use the two-tone gray dry brush to make everything look like it's made of stone. I use amber for the fire and a little bit of yellow for the top of the flames when it comes to the grass always use a lot of PVA glue because you don't want the grass flying everywhere but there is a fine line between too much and Too much, so be it.

Be careful, it's fantastic how you can create such realistic grass with the stator grass applicator. You can even make one like me with a bug zapper. The top level of the fountain will be filled with soil because there is something very special growing there inside the remains of the plastic sleeve. from an old project will be used to seal an opening where the waterfall will come from, now it's time to make a tree growing from the fountain since I couldn't find copper wires. I am using steel cables, they are very difficult to bend so I would not recommend them for all Move Along projects for the body.

It is best to use aluminum foil. It's cheap, fast and easy to work with. You can use any type of clay that exceeds aluminum foil. Personally, I like working with polymer clay. I've used the air-dried type in the past, but sometimes I found it harder to work with when you're doing a big project. The clay dries too quickly and you don't have time to make all the textures perfectly, as you can see the polymer clay looks very good after a long time sitting on a tree by no means. I'm not a professional when it comes to working with Clay, so that I use random tools that I find appropriate for specific tasks after finishing the textures, let's move on to the paint job, the base color is in there somewhere. between brown and red people call it maroon or something like that.

Along the way I decided to add some shadows and variants to the base color, so I covered everything with a little black wash and then removed

most

of it with a paper towel for the second and third. layer I'm using two shades of brown. I apply the darker brown a little deeper and the brighter one with a light dry brushing. The final touch is black. I wash everything again just to add more shadows and highlight the texture I tried to use. Hot glue for the flowers, but it didn't work so well so in the end I decided to use super glue.

Now that the tray is ready, it's time to put it in Fountain and of course my best friend's hot glue is here again to help. In my need, the only thing I have left is to cover the glue with a little soil and place the fountain well behind the tree. Preparations for the resin can begin by putting both levels of the fountain together. Now it's time to mix and pour the resin. Strange in my

diorama

s there is something special about it as it gives a lot of life and movement to the entire creation. After 24 hours the resin is cured and ready for the next steps.

Happily, the Vallejo water texture arrived in time for this project. Many people claim that you can make a waterfall with this product so I tried it. I should mention that it took almost two days to cure but the result is amazing when attaching the waterfall to the fountain. I use the same product as the falling water. a lot of splashes so I added more texture to the surface to make it more realistic since everything in the fountain needs a long time to cure. I went to make a fence that will surround the fountain. I found these skewer sticks that are being perfected for the job, just be prepared to stick your fingers together and prepare yourself mentally because it is a time consuming thing to do.

The color red was my choice for the bumper, it just adds some contrast in the font. Also, a lot of Japanese places have red fences, which I thought was very stylish. Japanese style fans urge me to make an initial sign that will hang on the tree for this part. I found inspiration in Tory doors for anyone unfamiliar. Tori gates are traditional Japanese gates that you can find at the entrance of shrines to add. some meaning I decided to put a balance symbol since this is about espion and Umbreon meanwhile the texture of the water has healed and now it's time to add some paint and volume to the waterfall.

I made the mixture of baking soda, fine white sand, glue and white glue. I paint to obtain a paste that I use to simulate the foam of a waterfall, then once again I use the dry brush technique to highlight the surface of the water, finally it is time to add some vegetation since I had a small amount of flowers left, I needed to improvise a little. so I used some sponge left over from the last video to act as some flowers or leaves and that's it, the only thing left is to test the fire one last time and we can move on to the part everyone was waiting for.

Both figures are primed on the outside and are ready for the Umbreon paint job. I started with his base color since his entire body is black, which makes my job really easy. I'll only use an airbrush for the yellow parts. I decided to paint with normal brushes. I tried using duct tape on the bed, but every time I take it off my fingers, some of the base layer comes off. Painting the eyes is always my favorite part, it's like giving salt to a figure. I find Umbreon's size extremely interesting. It's so unusual with that red color when everything is painted.

I just fixed some minor bugs. Now we can move on to the second figure. Next in line is Espion. Its color was a little tricky to achieve. It's something between pink and purple. I gave my best to achieve it. He was as precise as can be, his long ears were so much fun to work with. I guess those exercises with straight lines were useful for his eyes in the end. I used some light purple, but I forgot to thin the paint, so it showed up. With a little too rough texture to make it more realistic, I added a bit of reflection at the bottom of the eyes, which if you ask me, looks pretty cool, all that's left is to add some details and that would bring it down, thanks , thank you.
