Tutorial: How to build a rubble / ruins terrain base for your WW1 or WW2 diorama (1/35 scale model)

- How to build a rubble / ruins road terrain base for a WW1 or WW2 diorama using XPS foam, sculptamold / Papier-mâché, plaster of paris, and acrylic paints. In this tutorial we build a simple road with piles of ruins / brick rubble at the side of it. This is ideal for military vehicles or figures based in World War 1 or World War 2, in a variety of settings. The rubble could represent the Home Front with vehicles travelling the bombed-out streets of London, or the Allies final advance in to the destruction of 1945 Berlin. The terrain can be used with a specific model or as a background/backdrop for photographing your finished models.

Just finished a tiny ruin for a diorama. Tiny corner, added some board floor, now its all covered with rubble *SIGH* never underestimate the work you gotta put into random chaos!
You're absolute right! And "random" is really hard to do :)
Very versatile base! Simple and realistic. Sometimes less is really more with dioramas!
Thank you! Definitely - keep it simple :)
Really evokes the atmosphere of the reference photograph that inspired the piece. Best wishes.
Thank you George
Most excellent. Love using sculptamold. Brilliant product. Such an effective outcome. You can only make complex diorama bases so often as an average modeller.
Thank you
A simple and very effective base, MN. Such an easy and adaptable way of displaying military models across the decades. Great idea and thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate. I do like these bases with the ability to swap models in and out.
Amazing job! I love the use of sculptamold to build up the pile, and the paint work is very realistic!
Thank you very much :)
A realistic and beautiful base, adds a lot to the diorama!
Thank you Phil
Just finishing my diorama (Warsaw uprising 1944) I bought some amazing rubble stuff from DioDump, much better than my poor efforts at rubble piles. But watching you I think I might have a go at this myself.
The DioDump stuff is good, but quite expensive for what you get. I'd recommend brick molds from Diorama Debris. It doesn't matter what you put in them (plaster, sculptamold) or how good the mix is - in fact, a poor quality, dry plaster mix gives a more damaged, worn look to the bricks. One of the best small tools I bought.
Ok, thank you for that, I will have a look after attempting your way 👍
Another great video, the mini diorama sets off all of your models to good effect, just goes to show how a little work enhances model kits.
Thanks. Yes, I really like generic bases like this
Looks great, quite simple to build to. 👍
Thank you. Yes - straightforward with minimal materials and paints
Nicely done - we do need more rubble in our dioramas... (look at period photos)
Thank you. I agree - those places were very, very messy.
Well done. Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Thank you mate
Here in Canada we have the same product and we call it Celluclay. And I find it great to work with. But it should be sealed after it dries.
It's a really handy product, isn't it?
Like that all the material used are readily available in the local hardware stores.
Thank you - yes, keeping it straightforward for this one!
Great little video. This will be very helpful to me for creating a base I want to do.
Thank you - I'm glad it was useful
Excellent how-to! I’m gonna try this too 💥👍💥
Thank you - I'm glad it's useful
Looks fantastic 👍 thanks for the tips
Many thanks!
Very convincing, great tips!
Thank you mate
Helllo mr.nerd!very nice job done.I was deliciously Entertained.i love your narration.you can definatly put that piece of art proudly on display.thank u4sharing.keep going and keep the faith.with sticky greetings from sandy Brandenburg/germany.your modellmate.christian
Thank you Christian
Very well done.
Thank you kindly!
The base looks great! I was wondering where to set my T-60 artillery tractor (The miniart kit), and a city scene was considered,just all the videos I found had a lot of different products that I don't have, but you included literally everything I have at home. Now I can make this great diorama! Thanks for it,and can't wait to see the final result for the halftrack!
🤝👍
Thanks mate. Yes, I try to keep it simple for things like this. I was really happy with the colour tones I could achieve with just the three base colours.
@@ModelNerd That is what I feel like,sometimes less tones is better,for example on figures I literally just prefer a base,a folds/shadow colour,and a highlight,and I just prefer it more simple,and I guess same applies here!
HI Stu nice wee video very helpful, cheers Liam
Thanks Liam - glad you liked it mate
멋진 영상 감사합니다 thank you so mush
Thank you!
Very effective!
Thanks Jeff
Excellent
Thanks!
Great video and tips as always. Just curious where you source your period photos which you often use. Thanks so much.
Thank you. I use a variety of sources - Wikipedia often has some; WikiMedia Commons usually has more, and WorldWarPhotos often has many too, well categorised.
Great thanks.
Awesome! Great tutorial mate 👍🇦🇺👍thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you mate - glad you enjoyed it
