Just need to think of some more ideas for the next diorama. 👍
it's excellent work. 👍👍👍
Many thanks mate
Brilliant mate 😉👌
Cool thanks mate, the airbrush did the work really. Glad u enjoyed it, had 80 minutes of footage originally.🙂
Awsome diorama and so well explained. It will help me with my current diorama so thank you 😊
Cheers for commenting, just sharing what works for me on my journey in this hobby. Thanks
Love your videos! I am finishing up my 1st Ever dio. And we'll your figure painting videos I used as help, and guides! Thank you Uncle CT modeling
Cheers, I’m on a bit of s journey with figures my self so any help I can share is great. Just trying to improve my skills and share with all.
Really creative. I enjoyed this. Well done.
I hope it helps.🙂
Brilliant diorama . Interesting stage by stage with the ground and the ruins . Bravo
Cheers for comment, pleased with how it turned out, hope you enjoyed it.
@@ctscalemodellinguk Of course I did . Cheers !
Bro I just got the same kit and was going to make a very similar diorama depicting Foy!! Great stuff man, excellent work!!!
belle réalisation👍👍👍👍👍🤲
Cheers for kind words🙂👍
c'est magnifique ,it's wonderfull
You are very kind thank you.
Your dio is awesome, nice story telling and great step by step process. Rattle can sprays always attack and melt insulation foam. If you want to stop that effect, paint a coat of mod Podge on the foam before you spray paint it. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.
Cheers mate, and for the advice. Its a lesson learned and shared.
@@ctscalemodellinguk i learned that from terrain builders, like black magic craft, Hudson studio etc. These guys have some neat tricks.
Wow , that's a fantastic diorama my friend !🏅🏆👍🏻
Cheers glad you like it, I enjoyed building it and showing how cheap basic materials can be used to a decent effect.👍👍👍
By the way if you can see other peoples comments take a look at 2amberror suggestions,🙂
I always wanted to know how this was done. Thank you, and it really is a G R E A T ! job. George Alberta, Canada eh
Thanks George, its been one of my popular videos. Hope it shows how anyone can have a go and get good results
Great video man❤️
Cheers bro
Thats a crackin looking diorama, top work 👍........just a tip about the foam, give it a coat of Mod Podge or diluted PVA to seal it in before using an aerosol can, it'll act as a barrier to stop the paint melting the foam 👍....or just use acrylic paint 😉
Cheers for the tip, will use it in future. Appreciate your advice given the quality of your builds. 👍👍👍
Cool super je travail de cette façon je trouve que l on plus de plaisir à faire du diorama bon boulot venant d un français 😊
Thank u, my French isn’t great
Thanks

Hi, they were very brave and strong generation. I grew up listening to the old British soldiers fighting all over the globe. Burma seemed tough.Hope u like my work, I seem to have made a few Shermans recently. Thx for your families information glad you shared it with me from my video. It nice my channel gives me those connections throughout the world and I try to give back a little knowledge from my work. Thanks Chris 🇬🇧
Great looking diorama! Wouldn't there be wood debris in / around it from the roof / floor joists?
Probably in reality there probably some tiles added to rubble
This so great love your work! Can I ask hope long did this take please coz looks really good, better than good.
Hi, thx for watching. Its quite a quick build process, off and on it took about a week of my spare time. The painting makes it, which is the quickest. Hope this helps
Very nice mate! Should be easier if you lay clear plastic over the clay before imprinting tracks and wheels, that way nothing sticks to them.
Nice tip, thanks. 👍
looks great, one question though did you need to do anything to the base to get the clay to stick to it?
Not really, you could sand the surface of the chip board. I sometimes add watered down pva glue to seal aswell. I have had shrinkage on plastic bases and thinner boards but no issues on this. . Thanks for watchin and asking a question.
Great job👍🇩🇰, is it PVA you’re using to connect the walls, or a kind of poly filler?
Hi, I used no more nails to glue the walls. It grips quite well, and is over paintable. Hope you like my work. 🙂
@@ctscalemodellinguk sure I do it’s amazing, I actually wait for your videos 👍🇩🇰
@@infernumdk your too kind, I just try to break things down, and film how I approach it.
Ooo nice job!!! One question: How big is the base of the diorama?
Hi, its about 9” squared roughly, not too big.
Where did You take the figurine?!
The figures are all Tamiya👍
Where do you get the measurements for the building?
Hi, I just made them up based on the size of the figure and the size of wooden base I had.
Picasso in 1/35 scale
Cheers mate, hope it helps. 👍
Your clay will not be permanently attached to base as you did not use glue.
Cheers thanks for tip.🙂
given the stickiness and amount of that clay its a non-issue. Any disruption or accident that violent - the clay adhesion will be the least of the problems. Sometimes practicality should be allowed to breathe.
Everything I say is not solely to criticize you, but to point the mistakes you should avoid in the future: * plastic ejection marks are visible on the hatch. * tracks on the tank are T48 type - they have rubber surface, not metal. * track marks on the ground are from different type T54. * track marks on the ground do not match the direction of tracks on the tank (opposite direction). * dry dust on tracks does not match the damp earth on ground. * soldiers have very clean shoes and clothes. * ruined walls have straight cut lines, like they were damaged with laser guns. You could improve it by cutting in staircase pattern. * you could imitate the glass on binoculars with a gloss varnish.
Cheers for feedback, its just my interpretation of an event. I will take on board your comments in my next project🙂
...."not solely" being the operative words here. sad. can't find your dioramas on YT. you should share
