I have only just found your channel as I am planning on making a building. You said that you copied a Miniart design and then you said that it took you a week to make this? After buying the Miniart Building Details, glue, balsa, card etc.... would it not have been easier and cheaper to just but the Miniart kit?
Welcome to the team. Tnx. Here, the hole point was about schratchbuilding. I am trying to offer interesting content for my viewers, and I think that I gave a lot of good techniques... 😀🤟
@@dioramadevil Thanks for your reply. I am not criticising the content of your video or the techniques that you used, it was an excellent and very informative video and I will definitely be trying some of them. I know that a ready made kit is not for everyone as some people will want something more suitable for a diorama. I was merely curious as to what all of the materials cost and the time that you put in with the building compared to what the kit cost and the effort involved in constructing the kit.
Tnx... The 0,5mm is the back of a big drawing block that I stolen from my daughter... 😁 The 1mm is more complicated... It comes from my ex job, it was between the plates of aluminium for cnc machinning. But you can find it around... 👌
I can get it here in New Zealand from a paper wholesaler. You may have one in your country you could try. I had to buy quite a lot and it's not that cheap but will last me quite some time, years even at my rate of creating.
i'm glad to found this channel. thanks for tutorial. could you please make 1/10 or 1/24?. i'm planning to make for realistic city diorama rc drift track(mini z and 1/10), here's no tutorial anywhere
The procedures would be the same, it will be just the measurements that you need to work out for your scale. If you take a real world measurement of a door for instance and divide that by your scale (10 or 24 in your case) you can get the proportions to measure everything else by.
@@tumama001 hmm... My plate was an art shop grade original Kapa. It is quite pricy, but here you cant find those plates in dollarstores. The foam is verry stiff and rigid. I am just guessing... Also I applied verry diluited pva. 2part water 1 part glue.
Only peel the paper from the side you are painting. The paint shrinks slightly as it dries causing the board to warp but the paper on the back helps to resist the warpage. If you really have to strip the paper from both sides then try painting the back side with the same paint as the front at the same time, do not let the front paint dry then paint the back.
No need for amazon, please... 😁 0,5mm is easy. The back of a drawing block, cereals block ecc... The 1mm is more complicated. Go around with your eyes opened and be alert. You will be surpised what you can find. In the worst case use 2 pieces of 0,5..
