This diorama was inspired by Staverton Bridge in Devon. It’s a beautiful place I have frequented throughout my life.
This diorama gave me the opportunity to work with a seafoam trees, balsa wood, WWS stones, Woodland Scenics resin and, of course, a range of static grass and scatters from WWS, Woodland Scenics and Gaugemaster to create the scene. I also included daffodils to give a sense of the season.
The final photos were taken between Haytor and Bovey Tracey.
