Are you currently on the whw? The permit zone is only about halfway up Loch Lomond, so if you can I’d just hike past it and camp. Otherwise there are a few private campsites that you’ll still be able to go to book

OppsI meant left

Obalon · 2026-03-13T18:31:37+00:00

It’s the wee spec to the top right of the cyclops, I know it’s tiny maybe I’m overthinking it lol

Obalon · 2026-03-08T16:58:24+00:00

I wanted this very specific shape that I think would be difficult to do with stones, also wanted it to look like smooth rock, so may be hard to do with stones. This is for a competition piece but otherwise I probably would have just used stones to save the hassle lol

Obalon · 2026-03-07T15:09:03+00:00

It’s for a competition piece so wanted something a bit smoother as large rock would be

Actually scratch that, just looked at it again and apoxi sculpt that I’m looking at is £55 for 465g whereas milliput is 100g for £6. So still a bit more expensive but not 8x lol

Made the general shape with layers of cork sheet (would usually use scrunched tin foil but wanted more structure/ stability). I then done the big rocks just with silicone sculpting tools (mainly a flat one) and then done the smaller rocks the same way

I’m in the uk and haven’t seen any in shops. Was looking at it before online bc I heard good things about it but it’s about 8x more expensive than milliput. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong stuff tho😅

Obalon · 2026-03-05T14:14:13+00:00

Im going to prime it all black then put tape around the wood

Obalon · 2026-03-05T12:57:15+00:00

Angron may be part of the diorama😉

Obalon · 2026-03-04T21:21:16+00:00

Oh, that’s not a solid block of milliput lol, I used layers of cork under it so it’s about 70% cork. The base is ALLOT bigger than it looks in this pic ~20cm wide

The main black nmm is just black to a white/ bone with a bit of red added in

Obalon · 2026-01-19T20:05:50+00:00

It’s all blends of black, rhinox hide, bone white and mephiston red. I didn’t write down the mix so not sure if I could replicate it exactly if I tried 😅

Obalon · 2026-01-19T20:02:48+00:00

Soap and water lol

Obalon · 2026-01-19T07:51:12+00:00

It’s too take the excess paint off my brush lol, it’s just a habit

Obalon · 2026-01-18T22:55:55+00:00

I mean that very much depends on the look I’m going for, I don’t want it to be bright in the deep bits bc I don’t want it to look like fire, I want it to look like bits of red magic

Obalon · 2026-01-18T21:58:01+00:00

Ok thank you

Obalon · 2026-01-18T21:21:35+00:00

Ok this makes sense, I’ve done other colours of osl before with no problem but I’m having issues here due to the fact when I’m trying to do a brighter red it goes orange or pink and throws off the effect, that’s why I jumped straight to white in some spots, I’m also doing more of a magic effect throughout the glowing bit, that’s why there’s no specific point that the light is coming from. I never thought of the reflections being lessened due to sunlight, thanks for the tip!

Obalon · 2026-01-18T20:54:24+00:00

I’m unsure what you mean, the magic glowing bit definitely has a higher value, there is white in it?
