That was such a bad ass diorama you hit the nail right on the head,sounds like sabotage to me they should have known what was going to happen so called friends in your diorama world . LOVE your work keep it real and peace out...
If you haven't learned about it yet, try using Mod Podge after you do your carving and before you do your painting. Mix it with a bit of black paint and a tiny bit of water and apply 2 coats. This will allow you to use aerosol paints and sealants without it melting your XPS. It also strengthens the XPS so it's less likely to get damaged.
Thanks for the tutorial!! This is the only thing missing from the ML Line!!! Your kid is gonna have a great childhood, making memories playing with your duo!!! Awesome job dude!!
Clicked on this out of curiosity from your comment on my youtube tutorial video. I'm not big into action figures myself, but I do like to do scale modeling. This diorama turned out great, very fun to watch it come together. I am sure he will/did love it. Keep up the cool videos!
Great job. I don't do diorama but I enjoy watching an artist turn foam and paint into art. I am now a subscriber and look forward to your other and future videos. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Great stuff man!! Your son is a lucky kid! Hey I saw myself on that last part of the vid lol I hate when "experimenting" with new things go wrong! Anyways, awesome vid! Thx 4 sharing!!
This was an awesome video very informative, and I'm so glad you covered the painting and dry brushing of the pavement, I still got started into dios and I have no idea for the life of me how to achieve that effect. So once again thank you for all the hard work making that!
Elton Tooahnippah More is on the way. I'm working on a 3 episode cartoon series that is occupying most of my time but I have a few commissions coming up after that I will be making tutorials for. Feel free to share this video and give it a thumbs up if it helped you. :) Thanks for watching!
The end product looks absolutely amazing, very realistic and looks perfectly to scale. I really wish you had said what some of the things were made of or where you got them things like the trash cans, wooden palette, voltage box, and pipes. Either way im glad that spray didnt ruin your all your work though.
thanks! everything is handmade with foam ot wood sticks except the trash cans. the cans and pipes are from the 99 cent store DIY straws and bucket o slime
This looks more expensive and impressive than a majority of the figures I've seen . I like the bricks. Sheesh ! Must be nice. You do this for a living ? I'd like to see someone do a miniature set of buildings underneath a figure flying over , somehow. Probably already done but I have just started to watch these videos. A person can get a load of ideas from watching this . Thanks ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks! I'm a flooring and shower contractor in "real life" so my eye for detail earns my living. I appreciate the kind words. The walls are made from Foamular Insulation Panels available at Home Depot for $6 per 4 sqft (2'x2') It's pink and easy to spot in the store by the lumber and other building materials. Usually held in an independent kiosk in the middle of the isle.
yeah bro i could tell, have you thought about trying to do Toy Conventions, showing your work like that could seriously change things money wise for people . You have mad Skills
Billy Hahn Thank you so much. I hadn't thought of it. Do you know anything about the process of doing that? Thanks for the suggestion and vote of confidence
Wow, that is an excellent piece of work! This is something I have wanted to do because of the videos like this that inspire me. By the way, what is that foam called and where can you buy it? It looks perfect for molding in the little details.
Thanks so much for watching and the compliment. Its called Foamular Insulation Panels. Its in the insulation aisle at Home Depot. Its usually in its own box in the middle of the aisle. Its about $5.50 for a 2 ft by 2ft section. Easy to locate in the store because its pink and stands out. Very easy to work with but wear a dust mask because the foam dust is bad for your lungs. www.foamular.com/foam/
hello man ..Im sebastian ..and I want to say .. EXELLENT WORK !!!! I need help .. can you hel me withe the colowrs of the brickswall ..?and when you finish to paint it what color do you use .. ?? thamks a lot and thanks for your time .. I want to see more of your dios videos tutorial !!!
Hello what are you doing at 13:33? Thanks Also how the heck do you not get red paint in the groves? I've been doing exactly what you have showed us but can't get past that lol. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us and giving inspiration. Amazing work! Ricky.
you take a bit off paint onto the brush and then blot your brush on a paper towel so you dont use too much paint. Its called dry brushing. You can find other videos that describe the technique in more detail. you're basically dusting the surface more than painting it. you'll see me blotting on the paper towel in spots in the video
Great job man! Im'm just starting to get into building my own dios. This helped alot! BTW where do you get the minature barrels and the pallet? I can never find minatures like that.
You skipped the part where you showed your technique for making the unflush bricks... I assume you cut out the individual bricks and popped them out or pushed them in?
the pipes are "DIY straws" from .99 cent store. www.walmart.com/ip/Diy-Straws/752059470?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1035&adid=22222222227000000000&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=42423897272&wl4=aud-430887228898:pla-51320962143&wl5=9031273&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=113134932&wl11=online&wl12=752059470&veh=sem&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1-3yBRCmARIsAN7B4H2p2STAlbPD8axQUhoHG05f0OBAudPxwKDvWtplZkhEQ6qgWW1KIpAaAnX6EALw_wcB Signage can be printed out on paper and glued to comic book backerboard
yeah, they are a lot of work. Often times people aren't willing to pay what it would cost to make it worth the time. If you have something in mind I could shoot you an estimate.
I have a question...after painting red on the brick walls and making touches.....are u suppossed to use a spray sealer or something so the paint never rubs off? Let me know..im trying to learn all this.
@117715867209141061708 eBay my man. I say if it fits the look of your project and saves time, use it. There are many miniatures sellers on eBay look for "1 : 12 or 1/12 scale doors and windows"
hola yo igual soy de mexico y si quieres hacer las paredes consige: icopor para los accesorios los puedes comprar en mercado libre y las demas cosas en lumen, suerte
+marcelojaimep Yes, sir. Its called Foamular Insulation Panels from HOme Depot www.homedepot.com/p/Project-Panels-2-ft-x-2-ft-Project-Panel-PP1/203553730
Awesome video but not recommend if one were to attempt in imitating the painting procedure. There are many steps and for those earlier diorama buildiners would only catch on as mentioned *dry brushing* and not steps like blending as you did at the end and why you used white to pop your works. Additional Written details for each steps would be a plus, if the learner ever need to understand more they would search it up. Eg. Dry brushing. Awesome video
Hey man I just want you back to work I got to go home I got for a little bit and of a little car bit and ago I’m then I use my car and I got to work a bit later than me hey hey 👋 is a way for a good man to use a the car 🚘

Thank you! Which song? There are a few of them in this video.
Hi thanks for the reply. The music that starts at 3:05 very heavy guitar rocking music, sounds a bit like Michael Angelo Batio .

kevinLAWLESS420 Thank you! I'm very happy that people are finding it useful. :D
INSANE! Fantastic! The walls are polyethylene? what kind? i like the texture
Its "Foamular" Insulation foam from Home Depot
Great job man! Im'm just starting to get into building my own dios. This helped alot! BTW where do you get the minature barrels and the pallet? I can never find minatures like that.
nathaneal vance I made the pallet from craft sticks and the barrels can be bought at a 99 cent store. They come with slime in them
You skipped the part where you showed your technique for making the unflush bricks... I assume you cut out the individual bricks and popped them out or pushed them in?
yep, you guessed correctly
Nice job, man!I would also like to ask what's the name of the music you used at 19:04. Thanks :)
awesome work. beautiful. just too much work for the average person.
thank you. I was technically jobless at the time. Projects take much longer to finish nowadays
anywhere is walking distance when you;ve got the time
What kind of craft board did you use for the right side of the dio to cover the bricks?
Amazing work bro 👍💪 can I ask how thick the foam your using? Is it 1 inch or 2 inches?
one inch. thank you, sir
Nice video!!! how do u make those accessories(i.e pipe, signage etc)? did u buy it or u actually make it urselves? if so, can u provide the link?
the pipes are "DIY straws" from .99 cent store.

Signage can be printed out on paper and glued to comic book backerboard
Can u purchase any of these. Looks like a lot of work!
yeah, they are a lot of work. Often times people aren't willing to pay what it would cost to make it worth the time.
If you have something in mind I could shoot you an estimate.
what material did you use for the walls
But how you make the bricks pop out of the wall
How do you make some of the bricks look sunk in and others stand out? or did I miss it somehow...
Thanks for watching. I have that planned for an upcoming tutorial. gotta leave them wanting more they say
I have a question...after painting red on the brick walls and making touches.....are u suppossed to use a spray sealer or something so the paint never rubs off? Let me know..im trying to learn all this.
use Mod Podge glue sealer
GJL Creative Studios How did you get the bricks to pop out of the wall?
ya gotta carve some bricks independently and glue them inside the cutout spaces only protruding a bit
at the thirteenth minute you make a brick color.. What colors do you mix to make a brick color?
its ironically called "brick red". no mixing needed
walmart apple barrel brand
Is that White powder or white paint that you are dry brushing?
basic white acrylic paint from walmart
Hello, sir. I have a question. How did you make the brick parts levelled?

There are many miniatures sellers on eBay look for "1 : 12 or 1/12 scale doors and windows"
didnt come with hardware though so I sculpted the doorknobs
GJL Creative Studios how did you remove the original bricks from the sculpt for putting in the protruding ones?Thanks for sharing this.

+Ironmander Channel Apple Barrel paints from Walmart. Super cheap stuff!

Great point! thank you
I'll find the time to do that
matereal ?
there are pictures of build materials on the facebook and instagram page
what happened at the end
the aerosol from the spray began to melt the foam
11 unlikes? Really now? Why would someone unlike this?
Can you make one of these for me? Or do a commission.?
If this is supposed to be 1:12 scale them tiles r way too big.
says who? I'm a flooring contractor by trade. tiles come in all sizes. DERP!!
Is that a styrofoam
sort of. It's called "Foamular - Insulation Panels"
