agreed

Lol, woodworms eh?!

Just thinking, wouldn't the whole diorama come out better if you paint the plinth black?

now it's too late: already sent the pictures
but I'll keep it in mind while painting another muddy piece

The diorama isn't bad. The mud doesn't do it for me, sorry. Of course it is dirty, but I think a little more of 'wet' and 'sticky' look would make it better.
And the plinth is just bad. Do the diorama a favor and paint it. Green, brown, black, whatever... Just don't leave it this way!

the mud was covered with half glass of damn shiny water effect - I have no idea why doesn't it want to become glossy
I also painted it with glossy varnish

and I'll paint the wood black...

you sure it was glossy?

It's a pity because the story depicted and interaction between models are really good!

I wish demi, that you would make a tutorial with photos how do you make bases with such great mud effect. For me it works really well!

will do it next time:
tbh it was the very first time I made such muddy stuff
