Thank you so much for the list. That will be a great help indeed. Wishing you and your loved ones an enjoyable and safe Christmas and 2023. God bless you all
Dawid. Massive respect to you and Anna on the diorama. It looked so messy and disjointed at the beginning. Then it started to evolve. Wow. Learnt loads. Thank you.
Great video. You make it seem easy, enough for me to give it a go. Only one suggestion, could you consider including a still at the end of the video listing products used. It would make it easier to find them. Cheerz from Southern Tasmania

I’m a dollhouse miniaturist looking to start venturing into dioramas. So this was pretty simple to watch and follow and you used a lot of products I own. I work in hobbycraft so can easily obtain all I need too. Thank you.
Hobbycraft is pretty expensive i think :) You can find a lot of cheaper stuff for dfioramas at geek gaming! He also does awesome videos on youtube! Good luck!
Great video and excellent final result. The variation in textures and all the little details like the grass in the middle of the road really make it stand out.
Nicely done! I often dislike how my project looks and put aside for awhile and then return for a fresh perspective! You ended up with a nice diorama in the end.
Cool video you make it look easy. I've just started to build a replica of our hill farm in Cumbria. And seen a video of a lad making some trees out of florist wire. I've done 6 so far and very easy to do and cheap.
A guy who has a thriving RU-vid channel - Luke Towen, has some really fantastic tutorials on making trees. There are 3 or 4 videos and he makes different types of trees using different brands of materials. Anyone wanting to learn how to make trees should check out this guy - he's excellent.
Really like it. Perhaps the addition of fallen leaves in the ground around the trees, in autumn or brown, and rocks or pebbles in the stream itself would have enhanced it. I find that a bag of gravel for fish tanks (inexpensive and very realistic assortment of colours) works really well. I know what you mean by leaving things you don't like. After a year it tends to look totally different from how you remember it being, as well as better. Like the video.
That Vallejo still water is ment to be the worst of all to use appa but it sure looks great to me! They reviews put me off buying it but ordered few different kinds into my local hobby store he Facebookd me today saying they arrived today so picking them up Tomorrow! After watching this I'm just away to order it and try it for myself sick of people's reviews then you see something like this! There surely just crappy diorama builders Haha! This looks great!
I started by making a path .. on tergopol plate with its potholes, puddles and wetlands and I ended up being the Hell Road from Utha beach to the Hurgten forest with Siegfried .. 😅
Can you teach me how to scale if i have a robot 13inches tall and 6 inches wide how to scsle the ground and wall which i want to do the diorama on in to make realistic thank you in advance hope you will answer me
Start with a cheap set - you can pick up a bundle of a bunch of "low" end equipment for about 120 bucks.. like the full set of most everything.. brand is model master i think? Anyways, you can be cheap about that stuff but *do* buy a real brand airbrush cleaner, isopropyl alcohol works 99% of the time but you want a good cleaner for a proper clean after a long day of spraying. ALSO - some very fine little soft brushes for clearing nozzles... Squadron Brand is reliable and cheap... (Learn from my mistakes.. ) For paints, i recommend Vallejo products.. they rarely need to be thinned, and you can buy them in sets for certain topics.. Trains, Naval, WW2 has lots of subsections.. Soviet, Brittish, USA, Germany.. etc.. also vehicle subsections as well.. just makes things easy rather than trying to mix and match colors. Hope this all helps!
July 9, 2019----Google IPMS.....International Plastic Modelers Society. They have model building chapters all over the world. Most of them are into aircraft/armor/cars, with more than one building bases like this for their dioramas. You CAN do the same as this guy, it just takes time & patience. Just start off simple & small. I got back into modeling, but going for 1/35th scale zombie/apocalypse dioramas. This is after not modeling for about 20 years. And things have changed A LOT kit wise since then. I have 3 dioramas, 2 of which I'm working on. The 3rd is just a concept tryout if you will. First is The Fountain which will have a tired looking woman sitting on the edge of a long abandoned, weed filled city park fountain. Next to her will be her dog and on the other side, her pack and rifle. The fountain was made using a sour cream lid as my mold, filled with plaster of paris, 3 times. Then hollowed out 2 of them, with both cracking on me, something I hadn't expected, but realized it added more realism to it. The fountain is made from a modified plastic wine glass, with 2 levels. I'll have 8 miniature metal children (1/76th scale) on the bottom level, a much larger angel on the top as to appear watching over the children. The second is Forgotten Childhood. This idea was from a Google photo I copied with those words spray painted on the side of a slide in some city park. Again, filled with weeds. A man is looking at a rabbit he's cooking over an open fire. with his dog watching him and the cooking rabbit. The man is sitting on a merry go round, the kind kids would push, then get on while it was spinning. Scratch built it, along with a swing set and what I call horsey rides. These are dinosaurs that have small springs under them that kids could rock and forth on. Still need to build some teeter tooters. The playground equipment was made from styrene & rod, while the dinosaurs came from Dollar Tree. The concept diorama will be called The Alley where a group of people are being attacked by zombies in an alley way between 2 buildings. They're standing on scratch built dumpster and grease bin next to a Chinese fast food place. Will have one man attempting to leap up to catch the ladder to a fire escape ladder which I bought as a kit by Miniart from Ebay. Bottom line is that when you do something like this on your own, you can say with pride: I made this. Instead of this cost me X number of dollars.
