- Making a Winter Wonderland
I love modelling winter dioramas - they're so easy and fun to do! When Noch approached me to make 4 short videos for their advent calendar series, I snapped at the chance - this is the complete video in one go.
My biggest tip is to make sure that your base is well sealed or you can get colours bleeding through, especially from soil, and no one likes yellow snow!
You can see more details, recipes and materials including links on my website.

WOW... the whole thing looks amazing 😃 I absolutely love how you did the icy edges on the river, it looks fantastic!
Thanks Luke.
Now that's one way to noch out a great winter diorama. Merry Christmas Kathy. Cheer's John
Beautiful diorama. It doesn't snow down here in the north island of New Zealand. Love your work. Merry Xmas from NZ

Excellent tutorial Kathy, well explained & presented..... Finished project looks terrific 👏👏🙂
Stunning - and beautifully designed and built, as ever. Whatever happened to winters like those . . .?! Stay safe.
Whoever disliked this doesn't appreciate Kathy's hard work! I love this!
Great choice of background photo Kathy, so simple but it brings the whole together beautifully.
AWESOME !!!! Lovely scene. Brought back some happy childhood memories of Sunday walks with the family. I must try one some time. Thanks for the vid, Cheers, Rick the Bulldog.
Iowa gets plenty of snow, and I wish it was as magical as you made it appear in this diorama. It's awesome, thank you for sharing!
Brilliant. I'm learning so many techniques I've got to try for myself in the new year and start making my paintings into 3D
Wonderful scene!! Very nice winter water modeling as well! The gray water really adds a sense of deep winter to the scene!
Hi Kathy, another beautiful diorama, thank you so much for sharing, you are an inspiration, have a lovely Christmas and a wonderful New Year, stay safe, all the best from Scotland, Stephen. xxx
Perfect ..., very beautiful your work ...! 👏👏👏👏😉🇧🇷🇺🇸
😮wow! Another beautiful masterpiece! Your work is always amazing! I have to get some of those foam rocks for one of my projects! Thanks so much for sharing!😁
love watching these to fall asleep, fav new channel!
Lovely workmanship, we can all be inspired, thank you for sharing with us. :)
Top notch build! Love it!
Merry Christmas!
Another GREAT build! Love your work ❤. This is very beautiful!
amazing stuff, checking out snow effects for an upcoming Hoth Dio!
Can’t wait to see that.
Excellent job with problem solving too. I adore winter. It's my favorite time of year, despite the stress of slipping around on ice. I would use that every year, not just for Christmas, but for the entire winter season. I don't live near nature, so that would at least transport me emotionally.
Another beautiful work of art. Thanks for sharing.
that is just stunning. I love the details and everything. I wish I could shrink and take a walk in that scenery.
It's always weird to hear native English speakers pronounce German words 😅
Btw: the ch letter combination is almost never a K sound 😉
that backdrop sells the whole scene.very nice work.
#KATHY you looked surprised that a company would send you so much, BUT what a lot of RUclipsrs in your genre might not understand is your audience are target audience, people who already enjoy model making people who have money and spend money, so a viewing audience of 100k if worth more than 2 million views on a vlog chanel, so when they send 50 or 100 bucks worth of product they are the ones laughing, Next time a company wants to send you something to plug ask for $500 on top you might be shocked at there answer
I can almost feel the cold from here! Superb diorama, as always.
if Luke says your worth watching, ill sub you
lol here in Canada Snow used to be a real nuisance, Global Warming made it a little more scarce.
merry Christmas from italy
Have a look at how Luke adds the ripple effect in the water. ruclips.net/video/dug-ffEhqZU/видео.html
I watch all Luke’s videos but I wanted to try this technique as I’d never done it before and I was really pleased with it.
Ripples not waves. Nice though. I'll really have to work on a winter diorama to use as a Christmas decoration next year.
OK, so you show the completed piece in close up detail at the beginning of All of your videos.
I have not showed it for years and most people stop watching in the first few seconds if you don’t. More people watch the video if they have an idea what it is about.
A great video, and very seasonal, including your commentary. Handy tip regarding yellow snow 😂😂.
Very nice!! Realistic!!
OMG!!!! You nailed it!!!! Outstanding...... I just may put some hot chocolate on the stove.... lol Great job for the Holidays!! Thank you and wishing you a Merry Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year. And thanks for all your inspiration over the months!!!!!! God Bless.
Merry Christmas for Americas Heartland. Ms. Kathy love your work. It always looks so realistic. One day I hope to build dioramas just as nice. Looking forward to your next build. Keep on building those dioramas. In closing your work is A-1. Over and Out.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Kathy. I'll ship you all the REAL snow you'd like. I don't want it!
This is good enough to make me look forward to Winter!
Thanks!
Hi cute Girl !!! I love the way you make Dioramas, one thing I founded is that you like to work with HO scale. So that’s great to me, because all my dioramas are 1:87.
A great job the winter diorama. I wish you a good and healthy Christmas.
Hi Kathy, Nice one. easy or what (not) Looks fantastic as always. Happy Christmas. Stay Safe. All the Best Brian 🤗🎅
Exceptional. Great job, looks ultra realistic. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas Kathy.
Beautiful and magical build 😊❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Thank you 🤗
Please can someone tell me we’re I can get a spray bottle that sprays a mist I have three and none do that well?
It’s hard. Garden centres and hair dresser supplies maybe? I just try Amazon and read the reviews.
Tolles Video!👏🏻
Beautiful diorama, Kathy. Merry Christmas!
Very nicely done, Kathy. Seasonal greetings from Arnhem, the Netherlands.
A nice winter scene
Nice, very very nice. Good job Kathy. Merry Christmas
Hi Kathy ,
I’m new to model railway / Railroad n scale and I’ve checked your content and wondering if you can help me ? I’m doing a desert and winter scene layout however I just can’t get the red bed rock of America desert effect on my layout,however the winter scene I’m ok with but struggling with the desert getting it right instead of what I’ve done is play school effect . The guys on RUclips recommended me to you on my channel which I’m so happy they did 👍
Glad to help! What is your specific problem with the bed rock? I’ve just done a cracked red earth video.
@@KathyMillatt
Hi Kathy,
I’m new to the hobby and I’ve just done a video on RUclips from a newbie point view it’s a bit amateur but anyway. It shows you the work I’ve done polystyrene carved with brown paint but I want it to look similar to the red desert bed rock with the rock formations in the USA .Also a bit of desert vegetation. However I don’t even know really were to start even with the background I fear it will come out like a play school effect.
I will checkout your content and subscribe ,a fellow RUclips gave your content a shout from a American so here I am from the Uk
The snow most definitely I’ve seen so far will be great for sure on the other part of the layout .
So that’s it really but thanks again for getting back to me I really appreciate it Kathy.👍
@@whatsitaboutwithphilcraig6661 I’ve moved towards printed backdrops as I find they are more realistic. I can’t take my layouts outside to photograph so this is the next best option.
Top notch display Kathy ending up with a fabulous magical Diorama. Superbly described and executed. Well done and have cracking Boxing day.
what a beautiful scene! I've seen you use that sieve tool often - what is it called?
Hi. It’s a sieve! This one is from precision ice and snow.
this is so beautiful. Have you ever tried making your own snow from common materials? That would be an interesting project.
I’ve tried loads of snows but including making my own. There’s a playlist of them on the channel. I find microballoons the best of all the powders though.
@@KathyMillatt thanks :-)
Hi Kathy, I like your diorama, I have my own now provided by mother nature, my railway is '00 gauge' in my garden, under about 2" of snow at the moment. Still working on some form of weather protection for the track which doesn't need taking off before each operating session. I do have plans for a tunnel through a mountain range at the 10 foot diameter return loop as there is a very large Oak tree which covers most of this area and does like to give me rather a lot of leaves and acorns as the seasons change. With regard to the construction of the mountain I am planning to use some expanded polystyrene foam insulation panels covered with plaster cloth and then painted with Cuprinol Garden Shades paint to provide some weather protection, your opinion would be appreciated as scenery is not one of my strong points.
I’m afraid I’ve not done outdoor scenery but I would use outdoor materials and I’m not sure plaster cloth would be strong enough long term. An outdoor plaster layer may be better.
@@KathyMillatt Thanks for the info Kathy, I'll still use the plaster cloth but only as an initial cover for the styrene foam, the finished item will have a good covering of Cuprinal Garden Shades outside paints as they have a good variety of colours which should blend in, "at a distance".
Happy New Year to you and stay safe.
*Noxious,* so you need gloves . . . as opposed to ventilation? Perhaps you mean *caustic,* which has more to do with touching things that might burn. In any event, we should be reading instructions when dealing with chemicals that we're not familiar with.
Nothing about noxious means it has to be fumes but you are right, reading the instructions is very important.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas today.
Very nice. The ice on the river looks particularly realistic. I'll have to copy that technique. Happy Christmas!
Hi Kathy, another brilliant video there's lots of great ideas there . I think if my grandson watches it he will start having silly ideas as if he doesn't already 😂. Think I may have a go at a snow scene one day though. Great job done again James
An excellent video Kathy. Merry Christmas to you and your family x
Always enjoy watching your work. Merry Christmas Kathy! 🎄
You put up some good video keep posting updates up have good Christmas stay safe
Amazing!!!
Excellent festive winter scene Kathy well done , Merry Christmas and a Brighter New Year
Simple and effective.....art form...
Thanks a lot 😊
nice😊😊🙏
What is the product you mentioned at 7:56?
It's Snow Powder/Pulverschnee Ref. 08750 . All the products are listed on my website - link in description.
Love it
Oh! So tempting to put a tiny snow person on the edge of the bridge. Maybe a snow angle?
I absolutely LOVE your channel! Such a great resource, and you are so engaging. Warmest wishes from Canada!
Thank you so much!
This channel is becoming one long infomercial.
I’ve done two Noch videos and one more planned next year for them but that’s it!
Got the chills just watching you make that diorama. Well Done. Merry Christmas to you.
👌👌👌
it's beautiful
Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas Kathy,
❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
💜💜
Very nice work. So beautiful. So detailed.
Happy Christmas Kathy, have a great time, and let's hope the new year is a lot kinder to us all.
Very well done Kathy! Merry Christmas.
Wonderful scene and Merry Christmas
This was great. I am thinking of making a winter diorama. This video will make a great tutorial for what I want to do
Hi what 3d printer do you use?
I have three. Peopoly Phenom for big resin, Elegoo Mars for small resin and I just got a Prussian for filament as my old one broke.
Kathy I used a resin and coloured it with acrylic paint. And it made it curdle. Well what I mean is the paint didn’t mix properly. What did I do wrong?
Some resins react badly to the water in acrylic paints. Either try a different resin or use solvent based or resin specific paints.
Sadly, it’s quite a common problem.
@@KathyMillatt ok thank you. I had a few disasters earlier this year. But never give up hope. Lovely diorama btw 🙂.
Let’s hope it works next time!
My comment was deleted. 😾
Not by me!
beautiful and excellent explanation. I do have one question that can't be seen in the final. With the two layers of grey tint resin then two thin layers added for texture of waves..can you even see the rocky bottom any longer?
Not really! You can never be sure when you start do I always like to add rocks etc just in case.
Nice video again and happy holidays
Beautiful diorama and well presented.
Amazing ❤️ hope you have a lovely Xmas xxx
Here's a question for you Kathy - since I know you've tested just about every snow product out there. What would you recommend for 1/35 scale snow deposits, for when small amounts of snow have accumulated on vehicles and become frozen on..? I'm thinking specifically of slightly sparkly icy snow compacted into tank tracks or small remnants on fenders / in corners...
Precision snow and ice do a snow wash that’s great for that fine layer of snow built up on ridges etc. It’s not glittery but it is effective.
Wish I was one of those little figures stood in that lovely place 👍🏻
Lovely christmassy feel :)
Beautiful diorama...Amazing....
Kathy is the female equivalent of Oz Diorama specialist Luke Towan. His creations are top quality, & Kathy's are just as superb! 😃
Thanks!
Great diorama ! Merry Christmas Kathy 😊
Kathy what a little ripper , Merry Christmas
Fascinating and your attention to detail (like the footprints in the snow) was amazing. Thank you for sharing you beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Hi Kathy, what foam do you use as the base and where can I get it?
It’s black craft foam from Amazon.
@@KathyMillatt Thanks!
Lovely as always, Merry Christmas Kathy.
Great diorama Kathy, thanks for sharing!
what is up with your layout? Great work here, however what has happened to your model railroad layout? MERRY CHRISTMAS and an Happy New Year!
It’s on the back burner as the video angles aren’t that great and everything is half done but my Patreons will be seeing a lot more of it next year. Port Dinorwic and it will come after I finish off a number of dioramas for the book I’m writing for Kalmbach.
Some dioramas for it will be showing up here though in future.
Only thing that I can think of as an improvement would be icicles along the underside of the bridge
I thought about those but none of the photos I had showed them so I decided to leave them for another diorama.
