For this project, I'll be learning:

- How to use an airbrush
- How to sculpt with polymer clay (including wire and foil frames)
- How to make a diorama fire effect using polyester stuffing, an airbrush, and LED filament lights
- How to make diorama snow with watered-down hole filler and pearlescent mica/pigment powder
- How to use real natural materials in a diorama (such as feathers for the turkey dragon)
- How to suspend a sculpture with a brass rod to make it look like it's flying
- How to use a static grass applicator to add hair to a manly sculpt
