Tips for using Schleich figurines in a rain forest diorama

Safari or use covert facilities rainfall data diorama can give greater realism. Both Safari and Schleich offers a variety of data concerning animal toys. Here are some tips on how to take all tropical forest diorama to the next level.

To create a realistic diorama rainforest, you will have a basic understanding of the structure of a tropical forest must. A rainforest has four layers or levels, beginning to walk the earth and in heaven.

The first is calledLayer of soil. Has very few plants. Small trees and trees will be planted half the next level, called the undergrowth. "Finally,. The top layer of dense foliage, fronds, called the cover" that extends above the canopy, several large trees, which are the history "more". history of some of the trees mentioned above (known as emerging) can be raised up to 150 meters!

The canopy is the level at which most organisms, insects, animals and fungi. This level is 75-130Meters above the ground. The undergrowth also supports the growth of a wide network of branches and leaves that to the average of 20-100 meters. Many animals also live in the undergrowth. On the ground floor of the growth is thin, with lots of open space, because there is not much light (about 99% of the sunlight is blocked). Animals such as deer, peccaries and jaguars live in the layer of soil. Each of these animals, like many others has added Safari and Schleich figurines.

Probably find that,All four levels of the rainforest in miniature scale as Schleich figures, you must build a diorama of about five meters. The best way is to compensate by focusing on a single layer of the rainforest in a moment.

We should concentrate on the cap. Start with a solid base, such as a piece of stiff cardboard about 18 x 20 cm. The tops of trees, with real branches 10-15 cm tall. Choose ones with many robust branches forking interesting research. Tape the bottom endspieces of clay, dry (no sound of air being like Sculpey oven).

There are several ways to look realistic look at the effects of the leaf. Glue large pieces of green sponge between the branches or foliage areas. You can also use paper or painted pale green Spanish moss. Add details to hand cut a few leaves on the branches protrude more likely that your diorama. The branches may return less detailed.

DoI remember that epiphytes such as bromeliads and orchids interesting life on branches on the tops of trees. Create three-dimensional models of each paper or clay, or cut pictures from magazines and glue. Long screws can be created with the son of green and brown, or a string. With small crumpled tissue paper for the flowers. Add a layer of green leaf from the bottom impact "of your diorama above (sub)-soil. Now you are readyAdd thumbnails and animals.

Typical animals found in the canopy of the rainforest are sloths, monkeys, toucans, anteaters dwelling trees, snakes, lizards, and sometimes cats. Many of these species are like stealth figures, a high degree of realism or of other producers such as Safari available.

These figures are difficult, in general, because of their size, so they are wired with additional reinforcements behind them must be. Trying to build platformsPopsicle sticks. Only hide the edges with the leaves. Dab hot glue to avoid flicker on. Some animals can click on the branches "above" the sit-in history - that is, on the bottom of your diorama.

Your diorama is more interesting when someone tells a story. View the animals in action, if you can. The position of a snake, so is to find the bird. Anteater Show browse bromeliads.

Now create a panel. There should be, the title, date and yourName. Is this a school project, you can create small labels with which animals and plants in the scene. Sure to take many pictures!
