I wanted to post them all in one place so that those who wish to have a look around the whole piece can find it all in one place.

I hope you enjoy.

I did have some considerations though, lets look at the original inspirational artwork:

The Emperor on Golden Throne - Part 02: detailing the diorama

I promised to do this last year. I kept putting it off but finally got around to sorting through the hundreds of images I had taken to try construct a step-by-step article on how I built my Golden Throne diorama.

Even after paring it down to be as concise as possible I decided it would be better to do this as a mini series of the project... and here we are at the beginning.

How to make miniature candles

Hi folks, another little tutorial that I thought might be useful to some.

While I was working on my Golden Throne diorama I wanted to make some candles for the piece, but I couldn't find exactly what I was after when looking around for tutorials.

I wanted my candles to have that translucent waxy look of real candles and after sleeping on it I woke with an idea and these were what I came up with:

This actually looks a lot more complicated than it really is due to taking pictures for a step-by-step, but bear with me.
