This is all such great information. I've been pouring insta-cure over all my basing materials and after watching how patient you are with the details and techniques - I feel like a savage. I'm really glad I stumbled upon your channel and I'll be going through to watch everything. Thank you so much for sharing the great info and experience!
This is one of the very best diorama videos I’ve seen. Congratulations on a spectacular achievement. I learned some things and am grateful. It looks amazing.
I ounce stated that your work was an inspersion to up my game or just give up modeling, I still find that to be true. Your work is outstanding and your videos are so good, with the way you explain the methods you use to achieve the beautiful masterpieces that you create. You sir deserve the title of "Master Craftsman"! Please keep up the outstanding work and videos, I for one will always be watching.
Thank you so much my friend! Now whatever you do, don’t give up making models! I’m so glad that you’re enjoying my work. Have plans for some unique models this year, plus some good tutorials. Hope this year I can manage to get done as much as I want to. Cheers and a Happy New Year!
@@TrainsandDioramas I would love to see you make a weeping willow tree, I have plans for a diorama that would be great with a willow or 2 on it. As always good wishes and keep up the great videos.
Fantastic, Kaustav. Mesmerising detail! And a superb tutorial video. Making the model is one thing, but to create a video around the entire process is simply hard-work at another level. Hats off!
Thank you Anshuman! I am so glad that you enjoyed this. :) Yes, these productions are definitely time consuming to say the least and takes as much time as making the model itself if not more. I like this part of the hobby too, except the obvious downside that it keeps me from making more models. 🙄 Welcome aboard and feel free to take a look around. Cheers! 🍻
@@TrainsandDioramas Yup! Can imagine it getting overwhelming. But I think this is inspiring for a lot of folks. Think of it as part-time CSR for the benefit of mankind. It surely is therapeutic and awe-inspiring. Keep it up!
Thank you very much! Patience is a double edged sword my friend, sometimes I curse myself for not being able to get things done faster enough because I keep noodling on one thing till it's right. It's a tough things to balance if you want to get a lot done (which I do). Glad that you enjoyed it. Cheers!
This is amazing! I have a feeling that after I binge watch your videos, I'm going to be convinced I can make something almost as spectacular. Then, inevitably, as I look at my diorama of what will only be able to be described as something akin to a post-apocalyptic trash heap, I will wonder what I did wrong.
LOL! That is pretty much the story of my life! But then every time I failed, I went back and made another one and repeated the cycle till I got there. By the way, a post apocalyptic trash heap is actually an AMAZING diorama concept, even better if it is accidental, just like the real apocalypse! 🤣🤣 Glad that you found this channel. Cheers! Kaustav
A beautiful model - thank you for sharing your process! The colourful “patches” you see on natural trees is due to Lichen (the white and yellow splotches) and Moss growing on the trees, because of the moisture in more humid or wet climates - I hope this helps :)
AMAZING work. Thank you very much for sharing all this knowledge with us. One surely has to have lots of patience and love for this hobby, but the result pays off.
thank you kindly! I never used to pay attention to model trees before. A few years ago, my mentor Vikas Chander pushed me to see the difference a good tree makes. I have been trying to perfect model tree making ever since. There is something so satisfying recreating nature in miniature. Thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoy other content in the channel too. Cheers! Kaustav
Thank you, glad that you enjoyed this little project. I would've loved to keep them coming faster, but it's just not possible to produce videos quicker for the quality goals I have. When I started my channel I was producing 3 videos a month, now I am trying to keep it 1 video every 3 weeks and that itself is becoming difficult to do consistently while managing the day job and other priorities. Hopefully the quality makes up for the low frequency. 😀 Cheers and Happy New Year. 🍻
@@TrainsandDioramas Oh, believe me, that wasn't a complaint about how the frequency of videos! I totally understand that these things take time, and that videoing the process makes it twice as long, and that quality work takes time, too. Absolutely no qualms about the frequency from me. Quality over quantity, every time!
Kaustav, great work! I love it. I am going to use the technique with the tube to spray the hair spray at specific locations and avoid the trunk. I am going to try the modeling paste as well. Thanks, and keep up the awesome modeling!
Amazingly well done Kaustav. It was a very time consuming job and you needed a lot of patience. Great video. Explanation is fantastic. Greatings from the Netherlands. Ronald (Rosenbahn)
Thanks a ton Ronald! Yes, It started as a 'study' for a larger diorama I have in mind. Now I know that it will take WAY more time to build the larger one than what I initially thought. The good news is that at least the next time I would know exactly what to do. Thanks for looking my friend. Cheers!
Welcome aboard! I am glad that you found my channel and enjoying my content. Thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging comments, and hope you keep enjoying model making content here. Take care! Kaustav
I love the technique you have developed there. It will be perfect to adapt for the Banyan trees I was planning on using in my next project.. thank you sir. :)
I am really glad! I do have a few banyan tree projects in the plans - all you need is just follow the same techniques and get a few aierial roots drop from the branches. The trick is to keep it fine I guess. I made that mistake for my first banyan tree where I made the aerial roots very thick for the size. Good luck with your project and please share photos when you make progress. You can find me on Facebook and Instgram if you search 'Trains and Dioramas.' Cheers! Kaustav
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoyed this, and thanks for the info on those patches. I saw many multi colored ones when I visited the real place - green, yellow, white, even purple. Now I have to read more about those so that I can bring out better details in the next one. Thanks for stopping by and hope you take a look around in the channel - might find other things that are interesting. :) Cheers! Kaustav
@@TrainsandDioramas I did, your work is stunning!! Nature is so beautiful huh and always in co-existance with each other. I wish i could have been there too to see that beautiful place. I love your video's and will further explore your channel Kaustav! Have a nice day and warm greetings, all the way from Belgium ♥
Wow, that is amazing. I have recently started making wire trees and shall be borrowing some of your techniques on my own models. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Go for it! and Thank you for stopping by. :) I am on a very little break from RU-vid to prep for my next fe big projects, but stay tuned, more stuff coming soon (ish). Cheers! Kaustav
Haha - thank you Damion! Now that I am seeing your comment today in the morning, you made my day again! 😎 Thank you for showing love to this little vignette. I consider that you be one of my best works so far, but I do have plans to make bigger dioramas on that theme. Someday… Cheers! Kaustav
Right now I am procuring items for my next IR project, but with COVID delays it is taking time for the prep. So I am building other Indian themed miniatures like this one, hope you enjoy them too. Thanks again for all your support. 🙏
Thank you so much! Unfortunately there is no dealer of Noch leaves in India - you have to import from abroad. I use scenic express in the US and WWScenics in the UK for my scenery supplies. You will also find alternatives there. Hope this helps. Cheers! Kaustav
@@TrainsandDioramas Hey Kaustav Bro, this is such a great artform. Really wish your tribe grows and India discovers you and your creations in big way..
A very professional video and a most convincing end result. I am most curious about model railroading in India - I know trains are, and have been, an important part of life in India, but I was not aware of any models of Indian railway rolling stock or buildings. You mention Vikar Chandler and I am familiar with his outstanding models and tutorials - but he models German Railways. Anyway I have just subscribed :)
Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing. There’s no commercially available model train items of Indian Railways, except perhaps some special run of DHR by a few British manufacturers. Hobbyist in India have been scratch building things to best of their abilities. Most model makers use locally available materials to build larger scale models of Indian Railways in either static or free rolling form, some have been able to make battery operated gauge 1 or G scale models. As for a proper IR models railway, the only one that I am aware of is Ranjeev Dubey’s KSR that you can find here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dDIpkscPAvQ.html
@@TrainsandDioramas I watched your video on Sanjeev Dubey's model railway after watching this tutorial - I loved it. Hopefully the mainstream manufacturers will catch on to the fact that there is a huge potential market in India. I would really love to see models of those colourful Indian steam locomotives. My Bucket List includes a trip to all of the wonderful mountain railways in India - someday!
That sounds fantastic! I am a big fan of the Narrow gauge and mountain railways of this country, much more than the popular broad gauge stuff. Most of my near future projects are planned to be narrow gauge or meter gauge, BG coming in only as a ‘representation.’ I do want to make a BG loco facility and a yard someday... a lot of do, but very little time... 😕
@@TrainsandDioramas Thank you very much. You are very nice. One last question. When you finish with the leaves, you go outside to use a spray, but I don't understand the name of the product. You explain everything very well, but my english is not very good. Thank you!
