Concluding notes

The entire project took me between 90 to 100 hours in total to plan, construct, paint and detail the diorama and all the miniatures and both houses. It was somewhat a blessing, as it turned out, when the moderator for the Painting Competition, Guillaume le Courageux, extended the deadline by another 14 days, in order to allow more time for more entries to be submitted. I had definitely underestimated the amount of time I needed to complete the diorama and, consequently, I managed to submit photos of my completed entry two days before the extended deadline date. Phew!

I thoroughly enjoyed making the diorama and meeting the challenges it presented. To me the final results were well worth the time and effort. I hope you think so too.

I hope that you found the information and techniques described in this article both useful and informative.
