Thank you! It was definitely challenging for me to recreate the melting snow look as it was my first time doing it. So I’m really glad to hear that you like it! Thanks again for watching!
Great tip about sealing the balsa with diluted PVA, I have struggled with that very problem. Yours is the most useful channel I have yet found for dio makers because you so clearly explain what you're doing, and also the builds are top tier every time. Master-level work, sir.
Thank you so much!!! I’m glad that you found that tip helpful. I only recently started sealing my balsa wood with diluted PVA, but I’ve found it to make a big difference. It means a lot to know that the videos are clear and helpful! Thanks for your kind words and for supporting the channel!
I made a set piece from the bathroom scene in the Psycho film and it had unfinished walls and such like youd see behind the scenes in a Soundstage. It's fun to deliberately make unfinished pieces
Wattle and daub is a different technique, like what you used on your medieval tavern diorama. Chinking is essentially the same material, but refers to the material that is used to fill in the gaps between the logs in a log home. I love that you did the dovetail notch, it really adds to the authenticity and looks really great.
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation of the real life process! And I’m glad you like the dovetail notch! Thanks again for watching and for continuing to support the channel!!
I think it's amazing 👏. Everything looks incredibly realistic, including the patchy snow that you were a bit unsure of. The _only_ thing that seems a bit unlikely to me is the snow on top of the chimney. Unless the cabin is uninhabited, they'd be keeping a fire going in snowy conditions. It would be hot at the top of the chimney, it wouldn't last - especially if it's starting to melt everywhere else. A minor detail
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Out of curiosity, why do you stain your wood after gluing them together? I have zero experience so easily could be wrong but I assumed it would be easier to toss all the pieces in a bowl of wash and then glue them
what am i doing here, i don't even do miniature building, i'm supposed to be studying for a test, i actually hate winter, it is still the best 30 minutes ive wasted in my life.
Hi there Smol World! I like how life-like your diorama sets look with the fine detail and all. Do you happen to have an email where i could reach you? I would love to get your expertise on a diorama myself of the fireplace from the haunting (1999) movie. That of which I'm currently working on thanks! 🙏💯🎨
The windows are too perfect to be realistic! Look at old glass and it’s full of waves and imperfections from the process of making them! Other than that, awesome!
They both kinda feel like lightweight foam putty’s, and I’d say molding paste has a softer and smoother consistency when you spread it. However it also shrinks more than spackle
I find the imperial system for measurements so wild! Americans are like “I’m gonna cut this to 15/67ths of an inch”. Just use millimetres - so much easier
Haha yeah you’re definitely right! But because I learned how to measure this way, and because I’m a stubborn American, I just find it easier. Thanks for watching!!
