Realistic Abandoned Building Diorama w/ Vines Growing on Windows
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In this video I make a diorama based on a photo I took the very first time I went urban exploring back in 2008. This was originally a laundry building at a psychiatric center and was left abandoned. Nature began taking over and vines were growing up the sides of the building and windows. Stay tuned to the end to see the finished diorama!
One of the big reasons that I decided to make these dioramas was so that I could make them without all the graffiti and vandalism that most of these abandoned places are subject to. There is a beauty in the decay and silence of these buildings and I want my dioramas to share a little bit of the magic and wonder that I found when I explored there in person.

Remarkable!! I could easily see you working on sets for stop-motion films like Nightmare Before Christmas. Such talent.
Mobile phone/cellphone protective screens make for great crushed windows.
Interesting, I haven't tried that yet!
Your little abandoned spots always give me peace of mind, even while you're still crafting them. Awesome work, "simple" but so full of wonder.
I appreciate that! So glad you enjoy them 😃
I am going to have to try your liquid latex technique sometime. it always looks so amazing! Another fantastic build!👍
Well thank you!! I would love to see what you do with it, I’ve sure learned a lot from you!
@@AbandonedMiniatures I will make sure to credit you for the technique! We should do a Wall-Off sometime... see who can make the most abandoned looking wall😄
Oh that would be fun! When I first went looking on RUclips for inspiration, your abandoned coffee shop project was one of the first videos I found. That and your old plaster ceilings, they were both amazing.
@@AbandonedMiniatures Oh please collab with Ara! that would be amazing!
@@AbandonedMiniatures Thank you! All your abandoned mini scenes are making me want to make another abandoned project!
Another outstanding project. Keep up the great work!
Appreciate it man!
I love your idea of using slides for window panes! I love listening to your thoughts on making spaces like these too.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. These places have so many stories to tell, I will have to talk more about them in future videos!
Great. Your buildings look just as eerie as the real thing.
Thanks! I love trying to capture the essence of the original places.
Wow-THANKS, KNARB, for this recommendation. Instant sub, great work!
Thank you, glad to have you!
Fantastic, very atmospheric. Reminds me of the abandoned 19th Century warehousing and cotton mills which have been left to decay! Looking forward to seeing your next one! :)
Thank you! I lived in a renovated hosiery mill apartment building for a couple years, I could definitely see it looking like this if it was abandoned!
I think this vid just went a little viral, was in my recommended. And my dude Im staying with the channel now. Very good diorama. Waiting for moar!
Sounds like RUclips recommended it to the right person! Haha glad to have you on board!
Yes I’m hooked at watching him make the models. Such brilliant ideas too 👍🏻
Great model and excellent video. I like your narration style and that you keep the music volume at a level that doesn't interfere your narration. It's a good idea adding links to tools and materials that you use. Keep up the good work!!
I appreciate the great feedback! I’ve been busy working on more, some fun projects will be coming soon!
@@AbandonedMiniatures Some "how-to" technique videos like your bedframe video would also be helpful.
Those videos haven’t seemed to do as well, but I definitely want to do more how-to content in the future, especially if I start a patreon or something similar. If I make more to post here, is there anything specific you’d like to see?
That's an amazing piece of work. Plenty of inspiration there. Thank you for sharing.
Ich habe mir in lezter Zeit einige von deinen Videos angesehen und bin immer wieder begeistert. Ich freue mich schon auf deine neuen Werke. Wunderbare Arbeit mach weiter so.👍
Not sure what I like more, the diorama or the voice
You are absolutely unreal. Your talent is off the charts
Once again sir, this is immaculate work. Looking forward to the next. 😌😌😌😌😌😌💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I appreciate it, always glad to know you're enjoying them!
What a remarkable diorama. You are very talented. Not sure why I did it (could be because I'm retired and bored) but I recently make a diorama of a drug scene in a warehouse and attached it to the wall above my craft desk. Even bought an old street light and used it above the work table in the warehouse. You reminded me of that. Maybe I should make a video. Write back if you're interested. Anyone of course...
Incredible and amazing video! Well done 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
Great work as always
Thank you!!
Amazing work!
thank you!!
Perfect job as always! Great video.
Thanks so much!
Enjoyed this build very much. Thank you for sharing your techniques and different products. I enjoy using the liquid mask technique as well, the latex dries so quickly and allows you to get a great weathered look without wasting any time. Keep up the great work.
It is one of my favorite techniques now! You’re right, it is so quick. I’ve tried other techniques that don’t look as good and take so much longer. Thanks for the support!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Great ! I particularly like the ruining painting with tour finger. Simple and great effect. Your work is a mix of simple and great things, you're good at ! Thank you for sharing
Man. This is absolutely incredible. Your skills are huge, and we really feel the passion behind the vidéos. As a passionate abandoned places guy, you made my day! Keep going! Wanna see more, like some famous movies or series scene!
Hace unos días que vi por primera vez tus vídeos, me quedé sorprendido al ver tu trabajo y por el excelente detalle que pones en cada uno de ellos, gracias por compartir, de verdad son excelentes dioramas.
Te ganaste un nuevo suscriptor.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it, glad you’re here!
This looks so good!
Thanks dude!
Beautiful work, as always. I'm always eager to see what you do next. Also, getting really close to the 1,000 subscriber mark!
Always appreciate your kind words! So close, I'm excited haha.
Fantastic build! Definitely some takeaways to make my own terrain better. What is the product you used as a chipping medium?
Thanks! It’s just any brand of liquid latex rubber, I’m using one from hobby lobby called mold builder. It’s similar to something like Vallejo liquid mask for minis, but works great for larger pieces and terrain.
@@AbandonedMiniatures Ah, ok. Thats brilliant! Thanks.
Brilliantly done..
11/10 fantastic
Loved the new space. What air brush system do you use? What is your final photography setup (not video). Since this piece looks larger than some of your other dioramas, did you do anything to adapt your photo setup?
My airbrush is the Iwata Revolution, it’s tip is not too fine so it’s easy to spray thicker paints to cover larger areas. And I have a basic AS-186 style compressor.
As for photos, I don’t have a dedicated space so I set it up differently for every diorama. My next video will show a little more of what it looks like when I shoot them, but it’s been mostly cobbled together in my small apartment. I did just order a large background kit so moving forward I will have a nice black backdrop behind, whereas right now I’ve just used pieces of black foam board in the background.
I am a filmmaker for my full time job so I have a lot of lights and things accessible, I may do a video in the future of how to do a simple and cheap setup for people to try for themselves.
Spectacular ❤️
Amazing work! 👏
Thank you!!
I look forward to seeing more of your dioramas. I would love to go urban exploring to take amazing pics of abandoned buildings, but there isn't much to see where I live.
Thanks! Where I grew up there was a lot, but there isn’t much where I am now either unfortunately.
@@AbandonedMiniatures oh man that sucks big time. I love doing photography but haven't had the opportunity to take photos of abandoned places yet.
One day!
I just found your channel, it's pretty cool!
Brilliant. A child tricycle would look creepy in this.👍
Thanks! Doesn’t take much to make these places look creepy haha
@@AbandonedMiniatures I'm creept.. lol
Magnificent @knarbmakes sent
me here 👍😊
Awesome! Happy to have you!
Impressive
Awesome work. Would be awesome to see a diorama of Freddy Kruger's house.
I really love your dioramas! 👍👍👍 Glad I found your channel by luck.
Thanks! Glad you’re here!
Это великолепно!!!
Ah ok you explained in this video why you prefer not including graffiti. I get it!
Yeah I really do like to focus on the places and their history. Unfortunately most graffiti in these places are not even creative and just ruin the place for me.
@@AbandonedMiniatures I have mixed feelings about graffiti: on the one hand I see it as ugly desecration; on the other hand art, with local and historical meaning. I get less upset with it on buildings, but on natural stuff like stones and trees? Grrrrrr.
Whats the Name of the Metal bricks with the holes you use for fixing the Walls?
Hello! This is fantastic thank you. I am very interested to learn more about the liquid latex/paint method for walls - do you have a tutorial just on that?
So atmospheric and brooding looking. Love it! I got some slide covers, I havent used them yet but I will tag you if I upload anything. Love the peeling paint too. I was going to ask about the cracking paint as I dont have an airbrush, do you think applying the paint to the wet modpodge with a sponge would work better than a brush?
Thanks! I'd love to see what you come up with. I usually use elmers glue for the cracking paint, and you can do it with a brush but it will tend to crack in the direction of the brush strokes. Haven't tried using a sponge or foam brush, but dabbing paint over it with one of those might work!
The little foam makeup triangles are good too. Though they’re usually not as highly textured as sponges.
As always amazing work!!! Can you tell me what latex liquid do you use??
Un pregunta, por favor.Que es el instrumento de metal con agujeros en los laterales que utilizas cuando haces la ventana? Muchas gracias muy bonito todo.Un saludo.
What do you use for the walls ? Is that wood, melamine, some sort of cardboard ?
Very nice. I just stumbled upon your channel. What scale are you building in? (I'm used to 1/35 for Military Model Dioramas)
Thanks! Most of my work is somewhere around 1:18 to 1:24. Haven’t stuck to anything specific yet!
@@AbandonedMiniatures Cool, thanks. If you pick one specific scale you can (usually) purchase a ruler that does the conversion for you. It will make it easier to measure and maintain consistency. - Just a suggestion... In any case - fine work!
That might be helpful! I think often my issue is that I like to work with the larger 1:18 size but when I do larger areas I have to downsize some, or my piece would end up huge haha.
What is the wood you're using. I must've missed it?
What are the steps that u used to make the paint peel effect and what material did u use?
He used liquid latex and paint over that. You could use school (Elmer's) glue I think.
Que escala haces los dioramas?
Love your work just curious what material is used for the walls
Thanks! I use 1/4” mdf board most of the time.
Oh no I love the graffiti! It’s part of the history and visual interest.
Sometimes it can be visually interesting, but a lot of the places I’ve been have such interesting history that is important to remember, and when they get destroyed and graffitied (usually with very un-artistic designs), it starts to strip away that history until all that’s left is ruin.
@@AbandonedMiniatures yeah it depends on the place. Abandoned urban places look good with colorful graffiti but I can picture an old country home with tagging it wouldn’t be so great.
Amazing work 👏
Thank you!
