Shipwreck Diorama #5

[PhipsFolly]

Hi all... Just thought I would post pics of my latest shipwreck diorama in progress. I sold my first three privately and sold my forth one to McLarty Treasure Museum in Sebastian, Florida.

This one started as similar to my other ones with the shipwrecks as the main focus, but once I started working with the clay, this is what "came out"... Hope you all like it... It is my first attempt at sculpting a person...

Everything is hand made with the exception of the display case itself and the galleon model (which I assembled, painted, and wrecked)... The backdrop is hand painted (stormy weather and Spanish conquistor) and the clay was all hand sculpted).... I am just finishing up the painting now... Had to wait for the clay to dry.

Any suggestions to improve upon my diorama project is welcome...

Really looks nice, it is great work again. The struggling survivor is a nice touch... What is the size of this one?

I own one of your first 3 originals myself....

This one is about 12" wide X 8" deep X 8" tall...

Yeah the one you bought is one of my favorites... I like the stormy skies on yours.

Wow, Phips. You are an incredible artist.

Thanks Boatlode... I didn't expect that, but I appreciate the compliment buddy.

Well, it doesn't appear that there's much interest in this diorama... Oh well. I know there's lots going on with the hurricane so perhaps it was just the wrong timing to post this asking for input... Or ? Anyway, thanks Treasure Hunter and Boatlode... I really appreciate your comments.

Here's a few pics of the finished diorama... The pics don't do it justice but it's s camera phone...[emoji1]
