A gritty urban inspired diorama which features rooftop fire escape ladders and balcony, brick walls, random-cut stone pattern walls, graffitis, electrical boxes, vents, and more. Get a glimpse on how this diorama was put together.
What incredible work. What is it about being human that makes it so cool to see real life created in scale like this? If there's one thing good about the Internet, it's that it brings to a wider audience the work of great artists such as yourself. So inspiring.
Just want to say your work is incredible and your videos have taught and inspired me to build my first dio. I’ve been working on it for 5 straight days and I’ve had a lot of fun doing it... I would not have attempted it with out your existence 👊
Something, I don't know what, made me do a search for 'diorama,' and this is the first thing I clicked on. I don't know your name, but let me say...this. Is. Incredible!! I don't know why or for what you built this for -- is diorama making itself your hobby? If so, I had no idea this is a thing out there. Your construction, detail, paint work -- this is just so outstanding! Without the room light, with maybe natural white 5mm white led's for the lamps, then say, 10mm diffused blue LEDs for the look of night time casting their glow over this who,e scene -- this seems like a movie-ready miniature set. You should be very proud of yourself! May I ask, how old you are?
Thanks Sarah. Appreciate the kind words. Creating miniature dioramas is indeed a hobby of mine and I use them as a background when I create scenes for Toy Photography and Video purposes. As well as pieces to display my action figure collections.
I´m new to this diorama bussines. I just put toguether little plastic plane with my father (He is 80, so I did most of the job). I came to youtube to see how I did... I don´t know if your work make feel that I need to improve (a lot), or if I need to burn my pathetic little model plane, and croll in my tears... Great work.
alejandro esteban diaz conias thank you for the kind words my friend. I’m sure you can create something great if you put in the extra time in a project like this.
This is great..... I love watching your diorama videos. I started watching to get ideas and techniques for 1/6 scale project for my dolls. Now you have sparked my interest in action figures, something for the boys. Please keep the tutorials coming. Do you have a video on how to do the wood finish technique?
Great amazing work! a like the detail everything im thinking of buying a soldering iron and putting different kinds of flashing lights in my dio lights , but i know nothing of electricity. lol
Hey I think all the stuff you do is amazing I am trying to get into dioramas and I was wondering what are the basic things you need to start making some?
Winter thanks! As for getting into dioramas interms of tools. You need to have Atleast a pair of good cutting Blades like an exacto knife. A metal ruler, clear plastic ruler with Marked measurement. A self healing cutting mat with grid markings is also helpful. And in addition you need to have a lot of patience.
Really a great job! those final closing shots at the end of the video look incredible. I am starting to practice diorama building atfter watching your videos, thanks man Also what do you use for creating those 3 way pipe junctions?
Thank you bro. Those "T-connection" in the pipes came from the Build A Straw kit that you can buy at the dollar store. You can check my pipe tutorial vid where I showed and talked about it.
I actually made a busted 1/6 scale street pole/street lamp a while back using some materials that I repurpose and recycle. You can check the video below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fwtz0VXt4vo.html
Awesome! I love it so much! Hey btw, just wanna know where Did you find this light ? I find it cool and as I am making a dio by myself it would be cool for me to getting this! So please, if you remember, just let me know! 😊
The lights are from the Dollar Store. Its actually a mini desk lamp toy. I went over this on one of my video below if you'd like to know more about it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GsVdGAnxGKA.html
Domingos Filho dimensions are about 30” W x 20” D x 24” H. The lights are actually from a miniature desk lamp and each one run via batteries independently.
mart1873 the foam I used the majority of the time is the Pink Insulation Foam. You can check my video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RctXQLBYvqY.html For more info
did you post this on any of the dio facebook groups? it looks familiar. also, i'm glad i stumbled upon your channel. i've been doing dios for like 8 months and had never come across this channel when looking for tips.
Thanks +jason Juarez (deadpayphone) I'm a member of Diostructure and ACBA as well as other groups in Facebook so you are bound to see some of my work if you're a member of those groups as well. Plus I also post my work in instagram so you might have seen it there. Hope my vids can be of help in your diorama projects.
I love it...... but the electrical pipes are killing me, ( I'm in the electrical field lol) they look more like Plumbing pipes because of the connectors try using junction boxes or straight 90° angles. Still a excellent job
Those T elbows are part of a Build a Straw kit that I got from the Dollar store a while back. I actually talked about this Build A Straw kit in my pipe tutorial video below: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UT5ap8HWJpM.html

Albert D The door I used in this Dio is a pre-made one. You can purchase them in most hobby stores. I buy most of mine via Amazon. Here’s some links of the 1:12 doors you can check out. Diorama 1:12 Doors amzn.to/2HC42f2 amzn.to/2ExiIdv amzn.to/2HC0OIt
The piping connectors that I used here is from a DIY straw kit that I bought from the Dollar Store. You can also check out my video #038 where I went over piping materials that you can use for diorama projects.
Chris B you can actually use pretty much any of the available spray paints that you can buy off Home Depot and craft stores. However one thing to remember is to spray at a distance of 18”-24” from the foam. The liquid propellant can really damage the foam when it gets concentrated into an area of the foam. So you need to keep moving from side to side or up and down while spraying to get an even coating.
I haven't really done any dio work at that scale but you can probably use balsa wood or coffee stirrer sticks and then some tootpicks for the ladder steps.
Ken Jacobs Jr I use different materials for my pipes but the one I used a lot is the build-a-straw kit. You can check video 038 pipe tutorial for more information
GodzOfHeavenzz Xbox Player the balcony/fire scape are made from scratch using a combination of balsa wood, coffee stirers, and metal wire mesh for the balcony floor.
