Here's a diorama I made for a competiton earlier, with some customized steampunk miniatures & scratchbuilt terrain.
In my earlier post ( Steampunk diorama ), I promised to introduce these steampunk terrain items to you, so here we go.

Most frequent question I get asked on gaming sites is about how I have created fire and smoke. Now I'm releasing a tutoral about this topic - while it's actually about creating starship wrecks, it will teach you how to model fire. Another page (coming soon) will show you applications of this technique.
How easy can a modelling project be? Death Star must be the easiest one I've done. Cutting the place for the super laser was perhaps the hardest part, after that I applied dyed filler-paste to the model, carved the center line and painted it. Not the most accurate model but works.
