I am new to the forum but not to wildlife or wildlife art. I have travelled the tropics from South East Asia to southern India, throughout Indonesia and Borneo, from northern Australia and both the islands to the north of New Guinea as well as New Guinea proper. I try to spend as much time in the Hawaiian islands as possible, usually a month or two per year. While out and about I see so much wildlife that just recently I started making clay sculptures of the different trees and plants as well as animal life I have seen.
Here are some photos of individual pieces and the dioramas I make. The scale is 1:22 (1 inch on the model is 22 inches in life) I do all of the trees, plants, and landscaping as well as most of the birds. There are a few birds done by friends as well as most of the mammals but everything on the dio's is hand made from scratch using clay, wire, acrylic paints and various artificial and natural materials for the foliage on the trees and bushes. This dio is 8 ft long and 2.5 ft wide, and depicts an Indian rainforest, I have a South African dio that is almost 80 sq ft in the same scale and I'm just starting a roadside ditch with native birds. If there is some interest I can post more photos but for now I hope you enjoy...
