Wars are brutal no matter how sophisticated the weapons, so relating the story of this WW1 conflict must include the horrors that existed in abundance during those four years. You have depicted the scene with realism and detail evoking the struggle for survival....congratulations! It will be another terrific episode when you share the painting process so will be keen to see that come to fruition in the future.
Very nicely done. No glory in war, any attempt to soften it would be to offer the lie that there is. Would love to see the fully painted & finished model.
Wow das ist ja Mega. Viel Aktion in der Szene. Tolle Arbeit von Dir. Bin schon gespannt auf die Bemalung. Ich liebe solche Geschichten wo so viele Figuren und Details sind. P.s habe ein Video gemacht wo ich Stachel Draht selber herstelle Mfg Olli aus der Bastel Bude
Thank you very much for your interest! And don't worry, I'm working on it, but I also Work on an interim project which will be published within the next month, which will give a foretaste of this diorama!
36:11 you should add an extra sheet of metal to his helmet, like a lot of German stormtroopers did. It would 100% add to the look of the "heavy unit with machine gun", as well as be historically accurate.
Yes you are right! Thank you very much for your hint! Actually, I was and I am aware that many machine gunners and observation guards had these steel plates on their helmets and therefore I have experimented with detaching these plates from styrene molds of these helmets from the company ICM, as they are unfortunately cast on the helmet, but unfortunately this did not work out. Furthermore, I have also tried to make a correct steel plate with aluminum foil, but unfortunately I have not yet managed to produce an authentic and very good result with it, which is why I had discarded the idea in this case. But I will try again!!
@@ModeliteDiorama Yeah, great to hear that you tried, and it would be incredible to see you try again! It's so rare to see a content creator interested in the first world war, keep up the exellent work!
I am very happy that the theme of the Great War is becoming more and more popular in modelling. I like your performance very much, you have talent. Good luck my friend. I look forward to the continuation.
Incredible work. I love how the finished unpainted diorama still shows off the amount of effort you put into it by showing all the various materials and additions you made. I almost like unpainted models more than painted when they are super detailed with photo etch, putty, etc.
Thank you very much for your kind words! And yes me too. Unpainted models and dioramas with lots of PE, putty, etc. always look appealing to me too! :D
Good Day Modelcomrade. This is realy a Great Work, espacialy the trench.. Only wow.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐From me for this exelent Modelbuild. May i can ask a question.. How deep is the trench from the ground the overside on the battlefield.. I build a stormattack Diorama with the same Figures from ICM.. Please help me Modelcomrade. Please in cm Thank s so lot.

Vielen Dank für deine netten Worte Christian! Bei der Höhe des Grabens habe ich mich zuerst an einer Vorlage aus dem Set "Master Box 35116 Hand-to-hand fight, German & British infantrymen" orientiert, wobei mein Graben jedoch etwas tiefer ist. Ich kann leider gerade nicht nachmessen, aber werde, sobald ich nachgemessen habe, mich nochmal melden. Jetzt gerade würde ich schätzen, dass der Graben eine Tiefe von circa 7 Zentimetern hat, wobei das schon tief ist für einen Graben im Ersten Weltkrieg. Viele Gräben waren nämlich auch nur so tief, dass geradeso der Kopf nicht über den Grabenrand schaute. Ich hoffe, das hilft schon einmal!
Guten Tag Na klar hilft das..🤗🤗 Dann muß ich am Wochenende beim Diorama gleich nachmessen. Ich habe mir auch von PlusModel Ratten besorgt. Da muß es ja von diesen Viechern gewimmelt haben.. Viele Grüße von Christian

Thank you very much for commenting and stopping by as well as for your kind words! And yes I realized it too. Since I have changed my branding again and my modeling and video quality has improved steadily, the important analytics such as click rate and watchtime have also improved enormously and thus also the general clicks. But as you know very well too, you never know how that will develop further on RUclips :D Btw. Verdun would certainly be something for you, as a lost-place lover too. There are still so many old bunkers, defenses and almost collapsed forts around, which go deep underground and are all accessible :D
Thank you for your brilliant diorama. I was raised by my grandfather who fought in the British army as a 16 year old, who fought at the Somme, was shot and captured. This diorama brought back memories of the conversations I used to have with him as a teenager regarding his horrific experiences in trench warfare. You certainly captured the horror of war.
Thank you so much for your great comment! I was very happy that this work fits so well with the stories and horrific experiences of your grandpa and I think there is no greater praise for such a work!

Thank you very much for your kind and motivating words! And don't worry, I'm working on it, but first an interim project will be published within the next month, which will give a foretaste of this diorama!
It is exactly this XPS foam: www.architekturbedarf.de/katalog/artikelinfo/26470/hartschaum-xps-fein I bought it in a savings package, which is strangely out of stock. I think they deliver throughout Europe, but not beyond. Hope this helps
Haha, don't worry, you're not crazy. That's exactly the song. On RUclips it's called: "Wo alle Straßen enden" (Where all roads end). But in the original it's called "Marsch der Verdammten" (March of the Damned) and was written in the 50s or 60s. Nevertheless, the song melody and the lyrics fit wonderfully to an anti-war diorama in the First World War!
Where would one find a model of the armored vehicle used in this diorama? It looks interesting and like something I would like to try to build thanks for the info in advance! And I really enjoyed the video! 👍
When you visit the former WWI battlefields on rainy days during the month of November, being alone in the woods and ruins with no human sounds is something unforgettable... With this diorama you are tackling with one of the most controversial if not taboo aspect of modeling: how to represent the deaths and woundeds in scale. The balance between artistic suggestions and gore is sometimes hard to find, I think your are making it right but be cautious 😔 Viel Spass!
Yes it is really a remarkable experience to visit the remains of these battlefields which still show so clearly how gigantic these battles were. And thank you for your feedback!
Thank you very much! And my thought behind this guy was that he sits behind the horse because he is looking for cover while he gets the rifle from his back
Довольно трудно принять тот факт, что 17 миллионов человек погибли буквально ни за что. Из-за ссоры двух стран(которые, к слову, войны не хотели), началась война, котоая повличёт за собой ещё более ужасные последствия...
Moin, herausragendes Diorama. Ich zieh meinen Hut vor deiner Geduld und deinem langen Atem. Eine Frage habe ich: Woher beziehst du den VMS Sand and Ballast Freeze?
Vielen Dank für deine sehr netten Worte! VMS Produkte beziehe ich meistens direkt auf der Webseite vom Hersteller oder bei der Internetseite Super-Hobby: www.super-hobby.de/products/Sand-And-Ballast-Freeze.html Beide sind in Polen ansässig, aber Super-Hobby bietet auch schnellen und günstigen Versand nach Deutschland. Dort sind VMS Produkte kurioserweise sogar am günstigsten und günstiger als beim Hersteller direkt
“In the west, nothing is new.” Is the original german title translated. They liked to talk about how great things in the east were going, but they never talked about the west in the paper.
yes, you are right, I find this title so expressive because it makes the insignificance of this suffering so clear. Paul Bäumer dies in the end like many others on a "quiet" day, but since there are no changes on the front line, the report only says nothing new in the West
@@ModeliteDiorama All that fighting and suffering really didn’t change anything. Fighting more mere miles of land ended up causing the collapse of multiple empires and led to our current political climate.
Hi Julian Looks great , excellent paint and weathering job buddy . Looks cool and very realistic . Keep on the good work and model on . Have a nice Sunday and bench time :) Greetings Ozzy
Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I've noticed a few problems with the terrain that I need to address before painting. Especially the tank and some of the large stones are not yet perfectly integrated into the ground. But thank you very much for your sub! You also do great things, I subscribed straight away too!
Haha yes, many techniques are inspired by him, because I often like the possibilities and results of the techniques he presents the most compared to other techniques! And he is definitely one of my absolute favorite model builders and model building role models! But hey, we're all here to learn! :) And thanks for your kind words!
Thank you for this suggestion! Even though I know that the Second World War arouses the greatest interest among most model builders, unfortunately nothing related to this is planned at the moment except for german World War II submarines, because I will continue to concentrate on the First World War and other topics that I am interested and enthusiastic about :)
Eine tolle Dioramagestaltung mit guter Präsentation des Weges dahin. Das Diorama ist eine wohl recht genaue Wiedergabe der damaligen Wirklichkeit. Die komplette Szene spiegelt gut detailliert wieder, wie die Abläufe so gewesen sein dürften. Gut getroffen, die Gegend von Verdun. Wenn man aus einem Trichter heraussteigt, steht man im nächsten drin! Mit der kompletten Bemalung wird das Diorama sicherlich noch eindringlicher. Eine meisterliche Arbeit. Gruß, Joachim
Hallo Joachim, vielen Dank für deine netten Worte! Und ja, die Gegend von Verdun ist immer noch sehr eindrücklich, sehr gut erhalten und unfassbar zugänglich. Wenn man mit dem Auto durch die zerstörten Ortschaften und aufgeforsteten Schlachtfelder, wo die Wälder immer noch komplett von Trichtern durchsetzt sind, fährt, bekommt man richtig ein Gefühl für die Größe dieser ungeheuerlichen Materialschlachten.
This is an awesome diorama! I’ve been meaning to make a ww1 diorama of All Quiet On the Western Front and will definitely take inspiration from your video!
Looking forward to seeing you paint her up/finish! -This is a GOOD THING youre depicting what really HAPPENS during warfare of any type-the horrific human costs involved. Its still subtle, not overly done. I see zero reason why anyone would take issue with such, when most tolerate "Forever Conflicts" as normalcy & matter of contemporary Govt/Corporate politics masquerading as foreign policy? Ive always found it difficult &/or somewhat corny regarding combat-themed dios, as its pretty difficult to render in 1/35th the dynamic ferocity of close quarters battle, no matter the era/battles depicted. Youve totally knocked it outta the park in regards to such with the figure mods!... ~Well done. Best one Ive yet to see/view.... -I think thats why I stick to the 'Behind The Scenes' variety in its stead... -Dig the music used in vid too, I find the similar 'Wir Sind Schwarze Haufen' tune about Florian Geyer's early 1500's Black Company, when he worked with that admirable lovable maniac, Goetz Von Berlichingen. The song/vid showing the lyrics almost needs a sing-along red 'Bouncing Ball' as the sharp, crackling cadence of the lyrics are sung. Germanic language tends to lend itself to that particular song well..(Vid on YT @: 'S.E.C', or other channels...;) -Besides, who doesnt LOVE any 'Peasants Uprising(s)' anyhow right? (I & no doubt many others seem to commiserate, or identify with that feeling @ times;)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words again! It means a lot to hear that you appreciate the approach I've taken with depicting the human costs of warfare in my diorama. I'm glad you feel that the portrayal of close-quarters combat in 1/35th scale has been effectively captured in the figure modifications. It's a challenging aspect to convey, but one that I've endeavored to represent authentically. Your kind words truly affirm that the effort has been worthwhile. And I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the music in the video! And interesting recommendation of the piece of music. I will check it out. The song in the video is called Marsch der Verdammten (March of the Damned) and fits perfectly with an anti-war diorama in WWI, as the lyrics are about the hopelessness and damnation in No Man's Land and at the same time it sounds powerful. Thank you again for your support and for sharing your insights. It's conversations like these that enrich our shared appreciation for history and modeling!
@@ModeliteDiorama If not already familiar? For additional/poss inspiration give WW1 combat veteran & poet: Wilfred Owens: "Dulce Et Decorum Est" a looksee....(My apex>piratical>combative>outlaw creative writing teacher in HS, had us all memorize the piece, of which, I can still repeat certain stanzas to this day!..Ha!) -With those words contained therein he weaves a stunning visualization in the minds eye.... Another one thats top-shelf & WELL worth a read is U.S General George Smith Patton's EXCELLENT poem: "Through A Glass, Darkly"... An >Impressive piece< concerning the cyclical nature of warfare, reincarnation, time linearity, the human experience & cycles of the soul..(See: Mankinds 'ForeverWar' problem)...;) Take 'er easy....
yeah, don't nail me on it, i haven't used miliput yet, but i think both of these puttys are actually almost the same thing as can be seen in this table: www.greenstuffworld.com/img/cms/EN%20GSW%20PUTTIES%20COMPARATIVE.pdf
Thank you very much for these very big words! That's very kind, but save these superlatives for other work, like the work from the RUclipsr Night shift!
Ich bin beeindruckt von den ganze Details und wieviel Zeit und Konzentration in dem Diorama steckt!!! Und krass, das ist das erste über 18 Jahre Diorama was ich bis heute gesehen habe!!!!

Thanks for informations and Look interesting 👍
Thank you very much for your continuous support!
epic video and trench
Thank you!
Wow! Thank you so much for this! Your work is inspiring to say the least!
Thank you very much for your Kind words!
What agreat job for this beautiful diorama. Congrats. I want to see the painting. Come on guy !!!!
Thank you very much for your kind and motivating words! And don't worry, I'm working on it, but first an interim project will be published within the next month, which will give a foretaste of this diorama!
Hello!
I'd like to know where to buy the xps foam. I'm looking for a gray xps foam
If you bought it online, please link it
It is exactly this XPS foam: www.architekturbedarf.de/katalog/artikelinfo/26470/hartschaum-xps-fein
I bought it in a savings package, which is strangely out of stock. I think they deliver throughout Europe, but not beyond. Hope this helps
Call me crazy. But that last song sounds like the German marching song. "We Are Lost." Nice touch to what will be A great vignette.
Haha, don't worry, you're not crazy. That's exactly the song. On RUclips it's called: "Wo alle Straßen enden" (Where all roads end). But in the original it's called "Marsch der Verdammten" (March of the Damned) and was written in the 50s or 60s. Nevertheless, the song melody and the lyrics fit wonderfully to an anti-war diorama in the First World War!
A complete masterpiece!!
Thank you!!! 😊
Where would one find a model of the armored vehicle used in this diorama?
It looks interesting and like something I would like to try to build thanks for the info in advance!
And I really enjoyed the video! 👍
Thank you very much for the kind words and it's nice that your question was already answered in the other video. If you have more, feel free to ask!
Really nice work man worth the wait for this build
Thank you very much for your continued interest and support in this project! I really appreciate it!
Incredible work! You really invested time and money on this project. The detail really shows
Thank you very much! And yes, I prefer to invest a lot in individual projects rather than making a high quantity of different Projects.
Brilliant work. Thanks for the video.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
When you visit the former WWI battlefields on rainy days during the month of November, being alone in the woods and ruins with no human sounds is something unforgettable... With this diorama you are tackling with one of the most controversial if not taboo aspect of modeling: how to represent the deaths and woundeds in scale. The balance between artistic suggestions and gore is sometimes hard to find, I think your are making it right but be cautious 😔 Viel Spass!
Yes it is really a remarkable experience to visit the remains of these battlefields which still show so clearly how gigantic these battles were. And thank you for your feedback!
Looks fantastic
Great work
Just one question 🙋♂️
Why is the guy sitting down near the horse ?
Thank you very much! And my thought behind this guy was that he sits behind the horse because he is looking for cover while he gets the rifle from his back
Tanks you bro to pay hommage for French soldiers I’m French tank you
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil commentaire
Beaoutiful dio. You also could add some empty shell casings in the trench made from thin wire.
Thank you very much and great Idea, I will definitely do this!
muh friends I think this diorama will be a great addition to your collection
Ah I see the night shift allusion here :D
Bros making realistic wood when it's already realistic.
Haha yes, that's the advantage of working with real materials! :D
The Death Korp of Krieg .
Довольно трудно принять тот факт, что 17 миллионов человек погибли буквально ни за что. Из-за ссоры двух стран(которые, к слову, войны не хотели), началась война, котоая повличёт за собой ещё более ужасные последствия...
Yes, you are right...
Moin, herausragendes Diorama. Ich zieh meinen Hut vor deiner Geduld und deinem langen Atem. Eine Frage habe ich: Woher beziehst du den VMS Sand and Ballast Freeze?
Vielen Dank für deine sehr netten Worte! VMS Produkte beziehe ich meistens direkt auf der Webseite vom Hersteller oder bei der Internetseite Super-Hobby: www.super-hobby.de/products/Sand-And-Ballast-Freeze.html
Beide sind in Polen ansässig, aber Super-Hobby bietet auch schnellen und günstigen Versand nach Deutschland. Dort sind VMS Produkte kurioserweise sogar am günstigsten und günstiger als beim Hersteller direkt
absolutely beautiful and impactful! You really captured the true sense of hell of the Western Front
Thank you very much for these very kind words! I really appreciate it! I am glad that the diorama can convey this feeling!
Hello , what camera do you uses for your filming ?
Hi I am using a Sony Alpha ZVE-10 Video Kamera :)
“In the west, nothing is new.” Is the original german title translated. They liked to talk about how great things in the east were going, but they never talked about the west in the paper.
yes, you are right, I find this title so expressive because it makes the insignificance of this suffering so clear. Paul Bäumer dies in the end like many others on a "quiet" day, but since there are no changes on the front line, the report only says nothing new in the West
@@ModeliteDiorama All that fighting and suffering really didn’t change anything. Fighting more mere miles of land ended up causing the collapse of multiple empires and led to our current political climate.
Enhorabuena!!! Gran trabajo
Muchas gracias por estas palabras tan amables!
Hi Julian
Looks great , excellent paint and weathering job buddy .
Looks cool and very realistic .
Keep on the good work and model on .
Have a nice Sunday and bench time :)
Greetings
Ozzy
Thank you my friend for your kind words. But the painting and weathering will be Part of the next Video! ☺️
Flawless work with that terrain! But I specially like the plastic figures preparation. Looking forward to watch the entire painting.
Subscribed
Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I've noticed a few problems with the terrain that I need to address before painting. Especially the tank and some of the large stones are not yet perfectly integrated into the ground. But thank you very much for your sub! You also do great things, I subscribed straight away too!
bro is copying a lot of night shift lol, but its an very great diorama!🤩👍
Haha yes, many techniques are inspired by him, because I often like the possibilities and results of the techniques he presents the most compared to other techniques! And he is definitely one of my absolute favorite model builders and model building role models! But hey, we're all here to learn! :) And thanks for your kind words!
he is an realy good modeler im also copying things / techniques from him@@ModeliteDiorama
Cool could you make an ww2 battle
Thank you for this suggestion! Even though I know that the Second World War arouses the greatest interest among most model builders, unfortunately nothing related to this is planned at the moment except for german World War II submarines, because I will continue to concentrate on the First World War and other topics that I am interested and enthusiastic about :)
excellent!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Most impressive details (and technique) and great job to make a realistic and immersive diorama, thumbs up!
Merci beaucoup Phil!!
Outstanding video and presentation.
Thank you very much for your kind words!
This making video itself is already an art, my friend.
You're making a really great masterpiece!
Thank you very much my friend for your very kind and big words!
Increíble! Excelente aporte!!
Thank you very much for your nice comment!
Bro your English is so german😂😂😂 but good work, best diorama i,ve ever seen
Haha yes, unfortunately I already do my best so I can not speak less german english 😂
@@ModeliteDiorama I love your accent and i can understand everything you say, keep up the good work!
@OrksAreBetterThenTau Thank you! 🤗
Bro wasn't even in voice change but makes fun of the accent 😂
Name of the song
On RUclips it’s Wo alle Straßen enden
Great Video :)))
Vielen Dank Saeeb! :)
New to the Channel, and just wanted to Say: Thank You so much for creating this masterpiece !
Keep UP the great work
Thank you very much for these very nice compliments! I appreciate it and welcome to the channel!
Eine tolle Dioramagestaltung mit guter Präsentation des Weges dahin. Das Diorama ist eine wohl recht genaue Wiedergabe der damaligen Wirklichkeit.
Die komplette Szene spiegelt gut detailliert wieder, wie die Abläufe so gewesen sein dürften. Gut getroffen, die Gegend von Verdun.
Wenn man aus einem Trichter heraussteigt, steht man im nächsten drin!
Mit der kompletten Bemalung wird das Diorama sicherlich noch eindringlicher. Eine meisterliche Arbeit.
Gruß, Joachim
Hallo Joachim,
vielen Dank für deine netten Worte! Und ja, die Gegend von Verdun ist immer noch sehr eindrücklich, sehr gut erhalten und unfassbar zugänglich. Wenn man mit dem Auto durch die zerstörten Ortschaften und aufgeforsteten Schlachtfelder, wo die Wälder immer noch komplett von Trichtern durchsetzt sind, fährt, bekommt man richtig ein Gefühl für die Größe dieser ungeheuerlichen Materialschlachten.
This is an awesome diorama! I’ve been meaning to make a ww1 diorama of All Quiet On the Western Front and will definitely take inspiration from your video!
Thank you very much and thats very nice! I Wish you much success and fun with your Project!
Wow 👊🏼👍🏼🤟🏼
Thank you very much again!
Wow first vid i've seen of you, i'm a fan subscribed, keep up the great work
Thank you very much, I appreciate it! :)
Truely awesome work, i also think its very respectfull and accurate in representing the horrors of war
Thank you very much for your compliments and your feedback on the depiction of violence in this diorama!
Looking forward to seeing you paint her up/finish!
-This is a GOOD THING youre depicting what really HAPPENS during warfare of any type-the horrific human costs involved. Its still subtle, not overly done. I see zero reason why anyone would take issue with such, when most tolerate "Forever Conflicts" as normalcy & matter of contemporary Govt/Corporate politics masquerading as foreign policy?
Ive always found it difficult &/or somewhat corny regarding combat-themed dios, as its pretty difficult to render in 1/35th the dynamic ferocity of close quarters battle, no matter the era/battles depicted. Youve totally knocked it outta the park in regards to such with the figure mods!... ~Well done. Best one Ive yet to see/view....
-I think thats why I stick to the 'Behind The Scenes' variety in its stead...
-Dig the music used in vid too, I find the similar 'Wir Sind Schwarze Haufen' tune about Florian Geyer's early 1500's Black Company, when he worked with that admirable lovable maniac, Goetz Von Berlichingen. The song/vid showing the lyrics almost needs a sing-along red 'Bouncing Ball' as the sharp, crackling cadence of the lyrics are sung. Germanic language tends to lend itself to that particular song well..(Vid on YT @: 'S.E.C', or other channels...;)
-Besides, who doesnt LOVE any 'Peasants Uprising(s)' anyhow right? (I & no doubt many others seem to commiserate, or identify with that feeling @ times;)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words again! It means a lot to hear that you appreciate the approach I've taken with depicting the human costs of warfare in my diorama.
I'm glad you feel that the portrayal of close-quarters combat in 1/35th scale has been effectively captured in the figure modifications. It's a challenging aspect to convey, but one that I've endeavored to represent authentically. Your kind words truly affirm that the effort has been worthwhile.
And I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the music in the video! And interesting recommendation of the piece of music. I will check it out. The song in the video is called Marsch der Verdammten (March of the Damned) and fits perfectly with an anti-war diorama in WWI, as the lyrics are about the hopelessness and damnation in No Man's Land and at the same time it sounds powerful.
Thank you again for your support and for sharing your insights. It's conversations like these that enrich our shared appreciation for history and modeling!
@@ModeliteDiorama
If not already familiar? For additional/poss inspiration give WW1 combat veteran & poet: Wilfred Owens: "Dulce Et Decorum Est" a looksee....(My apex>piratical>combative>outlaw creative writing teacher in HS, had us all memorize the piece, of which, I can still repeat certain stanzas to this day!..Ha!)
-With those words contained therein he weaves a stunning visualization in the minds eye....
Another one thats top-shelf & WELL worth a read is U.S General George Smith Patton's EXCELLENT poem:
"Through A Glass, Darkly"...
An >Impressive piece< concerning the cyclical nature of warfare, reincarnation, time linearity, the human experience & cycles of the soul..(See: Mankinds 'ForeverWar' problem)...;)
Take 'er easy....
perfect accent de
Yes, I cannot speak less german 😂
What's the song in this video?
On RUclips it is called: Wo alle Straßen enden! :), but originally it is called: Marsch der Verdammten
I felt like I recognized it and wanted to hear it, thanks for the response@@ModeliteDiorama
The diorama also looks amazing@@ModeliteDiorama
In America, my favorite 2-part (separated) epoxy is Milliput. A very workable putty.
yeah, don't nail me on it, i haven't used miliput yet, but i think both of these puttys are actually almost the same thing as can be seen in this table: www.greenstuffworld.com/img/cms/EN%20GSW%20PUTTIES%20COMPARATIVE.pdf
@@ModeliteDioramaOh, yeah. It's all good.
Outstanding. It's nice to see more WWI dios out there.
Thank you very much! And yes I fully agree!
Cool diorama base.
Thank you very much!
WOW bro its the best ww1 diorama I ever seen 💪💪💪
Thank you very much for these very big words! That's very kind, but save these superlatives for other work, like the work from the RUclipsr Night shift!
