This is a piece I have spent a fair amount of time on, but now that I look at it, I wonder where the time went! I feel like I slightly missed the mark on what I wanted to achieve, and thus I have chalked it up as another "learning" experience. Whilst there are aspects of it that I am happy about, I think the model is not as much of a focus as I wanted, and there is too much going on, despite that being the original intent of the diorama.

Oh, and it lights up. Twinkling in the tree and from the pools of water.

Anyway, appreciate your feedback as always.


I did a big writeup of the construction of the model, the challenges I faced and how it evolved throughout: http://bigdenopaints.blogspot.com.au/2016/12/the-enchanted-pool-start-to-finish.html

I also have a video of the LEDs lighting up which you can see here:

    • Trent "BigDeno" Denison

      The base probably has a little bit too much focus instead of the model being the key element, but I had a lot of fun making it.  Thanks for the comment!

      Thank you very much mate!  Those are two words I was going for in the colours and feel of the model.
