What type of material?
What type of material would be best for carving a diorama? The Diorama will be of Games Workshop Lord Of The Rings miniatures and will be 8x22x4. It must be light weight and easily carve-able with resistance to crumbling (while carving it holds its structure). I intend to prime and airbrush the surface and apply tiny fake grass and other scenery things to give it a great finish. I went to Micheal's Arts and Crafts by my house but I couldn't find a suitable material, plus I haven't done this before so I wouldn't really know where to begin. So what material could you recommend and what tools could you recommend for carving?
note: These models are about 75% of a grown man's thumb and there are about 25 of them in the diorama.
Thank you in advance!
Modeling clay.
Want to make more refined, use pop blocks (you will have to cast them yourself.)
Boardroom in the Bush: Great Safari Experiences in Kenya
The regional heads workshop cum retreat was slated for Kenya this time round. This prestigious annual affair is a meticulously planned, highly stressful, cannot-afford-to-blunder event, that is the pride and bane of whichever country director is playing host. After years of being organized in great cities in Europe and the Middle East, the show was coming to Kenya.
Working at the East African branch of a multinational company there's always a sense that our colleagues across the oceans are covertly questioning our ability to perform and deliver to their level. Well one of the best way to outdo the grand hotels, cutting-edge conference rooms and splendid dinner settings of more progressive countries is to leverage on the unique and captivating qualities of 'Destination Kenya'.
"We'll take it out of the city and put in the bush!" It was during the tenth or fifteenth meeting to review possible venues for the workshop that our Director hit upon this idea. Very ingenious fellow, our boss is; ingenious to the point of lunacy. He had that all too familiar look in his eye that we all knew meant there was no turning back. On and on he went about canvas tents and campfires and zebra steak dinners. Eventually the leadership committee struck middle ground with him. A luxury, tented safari camp in the Maasai Mara national reserve, complete with electricity, hot showers and fluffy, white duvets; where meals were served indoors and the zebras grazed outdoors - as opposed to embellishing the bone china dinner plates.
Thereafter followed several hectic weeks of planning the finer details; selecting an exclusive safari camp, flight bookings, dinner menus, the workshop programme, AV and IT set ups, executive gifts, spouses' names and their food allergies, etc. All too soon the workshop was virtually upon us.
The regional heads and their fashionably attired wives spent the first night at a five-star hotel in the city of Nairobi followed by a morning excursion around the city and the not-to-be-missed craft market. They then took the afternoon, hour long flight to the Mara. By this time business suites and couture blouses had been exchanged for khakis and bush hats - fashionable ones, of course. Several Toyota Land Cruisers, specially outfitted for bush driving and game view, lined the airstrip awaiting the guests. At the safari camp, smiling-faced staff proffered warm handshakes and cool beverages to the new arrivals.
Thereafter came three days of intense meetings and deliberations in the midst of attentive camp service and surrounded by spectacular, natural wilderness. There were sumptuous breakfast spreads, tailored lunches, and divine dinners around a bonfire facing the star-speckled African night. For the very early risers, a warming cup of hot chocolate prefaced the chilly morning game drive. This is the best time to view the wildlife in plenty, when herds of antelopes, buffalo and gazelle are nibbling on the dew covered grasses and it's still cool enough for the cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) to contemplate hunting.
The afternoon sessions were the hardest ones, particularly after a lavish lunch and if the presenter happened to be that mono-toned fellow out of Dubai... or was he from the London office? His voice matched the incessant buzzing of cicadas outside. These bugs are about the only creatures that relish the hot mid-afternoon when the cats are hiding away in the bush, panting for dear life, and the antelopes stand motionless under shady trees. The workshop delegates cast sleepy eyes upon the yellow-green savannas, wishing they could join their wives whiling the time away at the poolside or sneaking an afternoon siesta on cool, linen sheets.
Evening time and everyone came to life again. After refreshing hot showers and sun-downer cocktails by the nearby river, all sat down to grand, multiple course meal perfectly paired with excellent wines.
The third evening brought about the 'detention at the dinner table' delivered by the residents (wildlife, of course) as only they can manage. From the candle-light dining area, the guests observed huge, hulking figures ambling across the dark lawn of the camp. One of the creatures blew a trumpet-like snort. "Hippos!" declared the camp manager. These massive, semi-aquatic herbivores emerge daily from the river and graze mostly at night. Occasionally they take a liking to the lawns of the safari camp.
Well anybody who had any plans for an early night was sorely disappointed. There was no crossing back to bedrooms, even escorted by an armed camp guard, as long as river horses were munching outside. Hippos kill more people in Africa than does any other animal. Consequently, the post-dinner drinks and tales stretched long into night. At one point it was hard to tell who was laughing louder -- the company executives or the cackling hyenas in the dark night beyond.

The Little Tikes playhouse is packed with so many different things to do that there is an adventure in every corner. My little girl loves all the adventures that she has in her playhouse. Even on the outside, there are three different activity areas where she plays pretend.
My little girl is 2 1/2 years old and most days she does not want to leave her house, inside or out there are so many things for her to do. Inside she lets he imagination take over, outside she uses the real sport area. She loves to play basketball on the one outside wall. The hoop is a perfect height for her, she can make a basket but she does need to try. This is great for her coordination skills.
On the sports side of the Little Tikes playhouse there is a soccer net and numbered targets that you can throw a ball at. I made up a game where I will pick a number and she tries to hit that number with the ball. Not only is her coordination getting better but she is learning her numbers now too. Our next game will be odd numbers and even numbers. I think it is great that a toy can be fun and help a child learn at the same time.
On another outside wall is a gas station, since she has watched me get gas so many times, she already knows how to pull her lawnmower up to the Little Tikes playhouse pump and fill up her own gas tank before she mows the grass. She even slides a pretend card through the slot and pretends to punch in numbers before she gets her gas.
Her friends love to come over and play in both her cottage playhouse and her other Little Tikes playhouse. We set them up in the yard so it looks like a little town. They will play in the cottage, and then get in their cars and go to the drive up window that is in the other playhouse. The Little Tikes playhouse drive up window has shutters on it that really work.
There is also a store and an ATM on the same side as the drive through. You can see the kids stop at the phone on one side of the house, and call their order in before they go to the drive through and pick it up.
On the inside of the playhouse, there is a pretend workshop and a kitchenette. The children come in to get the play tools when they want to work on their cars before taking a nice ride around the town. The children find adventures in every corner of the small town with the Little Tikes playhouse.
Wendy Soothsby was inspired by her children to evaluate kids playhouses. At her website, Cottage-Playhouse.net, read about little tikes picnic table and cottage playhouse.
