WIP "The Secret School" SBS 70mm Diorama

[Christosjager]

Hello everyone,
here is my new project (an ambitious attempt) I am working right now a 70mm diorama inspired by the painting of the famous Greek painter N.Gyzis.
All figures (seven) will be scratch and I will present to you my progress sbs.
The all setting will be something like a half shadow box (I hope it will work my idea).
Best regards
Christos

Christos:

As Ken said, wow, this is really an ambitious project. But I love your courage,
and I am sure you'll do a wonderful job on this most interesting and eye
catching project. Hopefully, you will be able to post WIP photos from time
to time. You have my full attention and my encouragement whole heartedly,

Wow, what a great start. I don't have that kind of talent, so I marvel at your
work even that much more,

Fantastic start my friend. I'm looking forward to how this turns out. Really like the half-shadow-box, that's ingenious.

Excellent idea for a diorama and just my type of thing, will be watching this one develop Christos, looking very good so far, the priest looks great. Looking forward to see how you do the kleftis.

I' ll have to be honest with you guys, I am at least 4 days ahead from this miniature but the truth is that for the priest it took me 1 day and for the Kleftis 3 days to completed them.
Also because of the crisis here in Greece I have no work at my workshop (marbles) so I spend all day sculpting, there are a lot of hours but the feeling is amazing, I am doing what I adore,
Marc the painting will start probably next Friday because I also have to full the diorama with all these spares like books, table, etc.

So, now I am working on the last two kids, I am in the middle process, but here is the first two kids sitting in front of the wall between the priest and the Kleftis, the last photos of them finished are still in my camera.

The two first boys completed...
