Do you have to treat the foamular board or remove the coating? I ask if theres even adhesion problems with the jesomite. Also I cant use a water based spackle or plaster of paris if I work quick for a Planet of the apes diorama. Thanks excellent work
Hi. Sorry for the late reply but no, I didn't treat the foamboard with anything before adding the Jesomite. It is a special plaster-like material that adheres to any surface so does not need any primer or coating before it is added. The great thing about it is it cures in 15-20 mins whereas plaster of paris can be fragile or brittle, Jesomite is very strong once cured.
It’s XPS foam that’s used in wall insulation and can be bought from eBay. Comes in different thicknesses and densities and can be cut with a saw or hot wire tool.
Thanks for your comment Warren. I did size the buildings and all items using the same scale calculator and they are all correctly sized based on the figures being around 5ft 10” or so. They are all standard Bandai kits and have been weathered but appreciate, they could have been weathered more.
If I ever get accidentally shrunk to the size of an action figure I’m gonna have this guy build a diorama for me to live in
Thanks Emil - that's a great boost for you saying those kind words! I'll be sure to make you a great space to live in! :)

All I can say is…omg… 🤯
Thanks Jason
Great video though I'd loved to have seen a bit more of the detail work and info on the greeblies and props you placed
Those are being done in part 2 actually. I’m working on showing how I will paint up each part and add it to the wall
@@RedflareModels looking forward to seeing it
The new video has been added!
Awesome stuff!
Just curious where the door from the barracks slides to open?
The doors don't open. They are fixed in place to the back foamboard panel
Hi that is very, vey good, what did you use for the sand?
Actual sand.. I applied a layer of watered down PVA glue and sprinkled just fine sand over it and let it dry.
thanks :)
Part of me wants to learn how to do this, but the impatient, lazy part, just wants to buy an exact replica !
I offer a commission service so happy to chat if you want about a similar diorama!
Cómo realizo ese tono de pintura
It was actually made from a combination of tones - white acrylic and burnt umber with some yellow
That foam doesn’t look like insulation. What is it & where do you get it?
It’s XPS foam that’s used in wall insulation and can be bought from eBay. Comes in different thicknesses and densities and can be cut with a saw or hot wire tool.
Ur boba fett knees are upside down
Oh well… next time I will get them right 🤔
I was going to poke fun at you for calling your own shit epic, but I'll give it to you that was pretty epic👍🤣
Thanks. Was calling it epic for the months I spent on it! But I appreciate it might have sounded wrong 🤔
@@RedflareModels in the end it sounded perfect👍 you have inspired me to fill a shelf behind my desk in the same manor👍thanks for the epic video😉👊
The figures your using look too big for scale. I like you distressed look and details though. Also figures look way too clean.
