as there are virtually no diaramas out there, i decided to build my own, or attempted to build my own.
I wanted to have a Tanis maproom for my indy in desert disguise to pose in, and did a construction to scale made out of karrimat foam
here is the model
then i made a mix of alginate, which is a jelly-like substance for making molds of things, and poured it over the model city to make a perfect ( sort of ) negative mold
that bit worked fine, i then made a large batch of plaster, removed the alginate mold and poured the plaster into the mold, and waited for it to set....
that bit kind of worked, but broke up when i tried to remove it from the mold
damn it
i will try again sometime soon folks ....
