    You say that was a disaster but you know - the tannin from leaves actually do leach into patchy slushy snow making a dirty mess IRL so the end result seems pretty alright to me. So I would say it's a Bob Ross style happy little accident.

    • @NightShiftScaleModels
      @NightShiftScaleModels  3 года назад +53

      I dunno... I spend a lot of time in the forest even when it snows and I haven't ever noticed something like that. Maybe it happens in very small amounts, not like what happened here. Next time I'll give the Gravel fixer several hours to fully dry so it won't happen again :)

    While watching you forget how tiny the whole piece is because of the great amount of detail. It's fantastic. I haven't the skill to make something as amazing as this, so it's almost painful to watch. As I'd give almost anything to have a piece of Art like this to display in my home. I particularly love the Stug. III AUSF. B, it was an amazing weapon that was greatly underestimated during the war, and caused severe damage to the Allied forces. Anyhow, it's a great diorama. I'm envious.

  • @polticalme1677
    @polticalme1677 Год назад

    "Don't eat yellow snow!" I wouldn't see the discolouration as a problem. Wet fallen leaves have the same effect on snow in nature, so that was rather a "happy accident" (RIP Bob Ross). In the end it's a nice diorama with the cutest StuG I ever saw.

I'm learning alot from your channel. I havent been here a month yet and already you've helped me. I have been watching The Terrain Tutor for years. He's very good and taught me how to wet-blend. But he doesnt really do much with models, so I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Thanx for doing what you do.

    I'm not sure if you have or not, but the static grass applicator can be used in a much more accurate way if you add a straightened paper clip on the ground clip, therefore allowing you to concentrate the "ground" of the static applicator in a more pin-pointed method. Just a thought. And yes, I realize this video is over two years old. But I digress.
