Hola CW. Desde hace un tiempo sigo tu canal y realmente en cada video que veo me sorprendes mas. Haces un trabajo increiblemente bueno, eres un gran modelista y te felicito por ello. Saludos.
Dude, that is so incredible!! I can imagine how much time and effort you put into that. Your work is just amazing. Merry Christmas to you and your family and have a very Happy New Year.
Amazing work, love all the detail. I’ve never done a diorama before and keen to give it a go. Would you considering sharing your 3D files you have? I’ve just bought a resin printer and would love to try them out.
Thanks for watching.........at the moment I don't have a means to share my STL files but later in the year I'll be working on a means of sharing that and a few other things as well, so watch this space👍
@@CWModelling will do. I’ve subscribed so I’ll keep an eye out. Tbh I’ve only ever built 1 tank to date but keen on opening up my horizons and armour/diorama intrigue me.
@@CWModelling Ahh!! I thought this may be the case. How do you work out scale and dimensions? It’s something I’d like to attempt but this scale thing is holding me back. Utterly exquisite work btw
Hi, firstly I'd suggest getting yourself a 1/35 scale ruler, you can find them on Ebay.......having reference photos is very helpful as you can do things like counting bricks for height and width and work out dimensions from knowing the size of a brick.....measuring doors and windows in your own home will give you an indication of sizes for these which you can use to make a guesstimate for windows and doors in your model.....I also use a 1/35 figure as a reference to get a feel for how things are looking.....and I suppose my biggest tip is to draw out your design first as this allows you to tweak things before you commit to the foam......I think I drew this building three times before it started to look right.....I hope that helps you get started and then its just a case of practicing👍
Another great video!👍 Thanks for sharing. Thanks to your videos I learned a lot about making dioramas and using XPS foam. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2023.
The amount of planning that has gone into this diorama is quite outstanding!! Love the history pictures at the start aswel .Have a great Xmas again and a happy new year Atvb 👍🏻
@@CWModelling that explain why your builds look so real and the drawings full of details. I'm a technical designer myself and when I'm on holiday in Cyprus or on a roadtrip in northern Germany I always bring a notebook and a tape measure in case I get some inspiration or see some interesting features. And of cause my Phone to take take pics of things. A creative mind never sleeps 😁
It's a pleasure to see your ideas become real. A rightly masterful work. I wish you a good time with your family and a Merry Christmas, Ian. All the best for the upcoming new year. Best regards, Joachim
wow what research and time you put into such a beautiful work of art really something to be proud of! you are a real example for me I just started the same hobby and before I always start I watch a video of you how you do it. you are truly an example and inspire me every time keep it up! and I wish you a Merry Christmas.
This is one of your best yet looking forward to seeing the rest of this diorama I hope everything is well with you and I hope you have a great Christmas day tomorrow ☃️ 👍👍
Stunning! Each piece displays thought, precision and experience......your work is exemplary and a joy to watch. Thank you for taking the time to share with us given the circumstances and we can only wish you all the best for the coming new year.
A quick question, what size do you make your bricks & paving stones etc? I’m trying to figure out a size & I take it with it being Europe it’ll all be metric, where as in the UK buildings etc will all be imperial measurements. Thanks from an avid fan trying to get back into model making, big changes from when I built 30 years ago, computer aided designs, 3D printers etc all wizardry lol 😂 Also what would you recommend for a starter 3D printer & CAD program ?
The difference between imperial measurements and metric at 1/35 scale will be negligible so I just measure things that are local to me and convert the measurements to 1/35 scale. And yes, 3D printers etc are handy but not essential. Before I had one what you see 3D printed here, I would either make myself or buy from model shops. Roof tiles can be made from plastic sheet or bought from a shop and windows are easy to make from Blasa wood and clear acrylic sheet. For buying paving and bricks etc a company called Gero Design sell lots of great products and I use their stuff a lot as the kerbstones and feature cobblestones in this video are from them. I'm afraid I can't recommend a 3D printer as I don't know enough about the subject but a good starter CAD programme is called TinkerCad which is an online piece of software you access by registering for an account but it is free. You can also find lots of 3D files ready for printing from websites like Thingiverse, CGTrader, Cults3D or MyMiniFactory.
Excellent! That building would make a fantastic display model without the Stug and the soldiers! Your attention to detail is commendable. I really enjoy your channel and I get a lot of inspiration from what you are doing. Can't wait to see more, its always worth the wait. Oh I almost forgot Merry Christmas to you as well!
As usual, stunning work mate. Ive got some foam boards and I'm going to give my own building scratch-building a go - RT Dio and their ilk make a lot of money off me and I'd really like to be able to do it myself. Sounds like it is relatively simple as long as you are careful, plan it properly and measure things out correctly. Mind you, you make it look easier than I bet it is. Ive got a Tamiya Elefant in the stash begging for a Tuscan villa sort of vignette/dio so i'll go back to your Marder video to get some inspiration. PS - what kit is the StuG?
@@CWModelling The Dragon kit, many thanks. Ive got the Takom Blitz Ausf G late in paint now and the RFM G early in the stash - the Dragon looks excellent. Your chipping is really coming along, it looks absolutely sensational.
Beautiful work as always Ian, you have an amazing eye for detail mate and ability to execute, makes your stuff so brilliant. Have a safe and Merry Christmas, cheers Glen
It looks so simple. 😉 I know the place very well. As a child we often bin in Oosterbeek. I grew up in Velp. My father is now 95. His brother was at that time in Oosterbeek visiting his fiancee. Unlucky she was one of the many citizens who did lost their life in that battle. Very impressive build of the diorama. 👍🏻
Very Nice!

Once again, great stuff, Colin!
Where do you find the stl files for your roof shingles, windows and doors? Keep up the great work mate
Thanks.......the stl's are drawn by me using resources like tile manufacturers websites and my own use of CAD 👍
Have you a background in technical drawing?
The day job is in Architecture 👍

Danke mein Freund Grüße Matze
Ich liebe deine Arbeit
Well done! The Sopwith Camel is turning out excellent. Happy holidays!
Outstanding work on that diorama, long does it take you to do build something like that? Your detail is first class.
I wouldn't even be surprised if you told us you work with house construction. Your drawings looks so proff
The day job is in Architecture 😉
