Your work is incredible!!! One thing. If you've ever demolished a brick wall you would know they never all come down whole. You should've broke some of them up a bit.
Besides having the skills, experience, the material, the tools the most important thing is... patience. A lot of patience. Fascinating to see the process.
RUclips is populated with channels that open boxes, review, build, paint and weather kits, but the true legends give their models pupose with an Awesome Diorama!
I modeled a bit as a kid (Revell had some kind of Model of the Month Club) for a couple of years. We thought we were cool building “scrap” models from leftover parts. Beyond just getting the kits together and maybe a bit of spray for auto bodies, I never really did much. This was all WAY back. Not sure how I started watching diorama builds, but the detail work and the meticulous attention to getting it all right is somehow both relaxing and inspirational to me. I can assure you I won’t be trying anything this ambitious (I’m much too savvy for that), but I will continue to explore creative outlets in wood. Weird, huh? Another big plus is that I’m a huge World War II buff and enjoy very much getting into the daily stories of the war in Europe, especially. Thanks for finishing this up. It turned out absolutely amazing. Great work!
Wonderfull job! I live in the street where the pictures are taken and it is right on the corner. Futhermore I have been studying the war in my vicinity dit years and interviewed a lot of people, including the daughter of the bakery and one of the children (sisters) in the picture. I say: spot on! I wished I was so skillfull. It would make a great addition to nu collection of the war in Aalst.
Hi mate, hope your OK and family and all had a good Christmas and New Year. You know I got that book and thought it was brill a bit back and nearly sent you a copy as I know you like your Shermans. Never mind mate, sorry , I'm usually late to the party. I stand by my very first ever comment on your channel and when this wee young chalky white was just a small channel with small subbies ... I said " you will go far, your Talent for this hobby of ours is something special and something that most of us modelling " Peasants" can only dream of . Thank you matey for taking time to share your amazing work with us. Happy New year my friend and stay safe.
Absolutely brilliant work as always. Living in The Netherlands myself, I'm truly amazed at how you've incorporated all the little details of Dutch building and street architecture!!
Bonjour, Quel boulot, quelle maitrise ! Un travail méticuleux qui nous mène à une oeuvre d'art ! C'est magnifique, réaliste.... Bref ! Que des félicitations bien méritées ! De biens cordiales civilités (de France) Patrick
Oooh man. That really looks great and the details 👌🏼. Just one small thing. In that time the houses in the Netherlands were built with brick walls outside and inside. The walls between the rooms could been made of wood.. Apart from that it really looks great!!
A great piece of work. Iam dutch and the house looks great!! Just keep in mind the roof tiles is Holland are more orange. Type of tiles are called Tuile du Nord.😃👍👍
Excellent build. Very enjoyable way to spend New Years Eve (afternoon). Have a Great New Year. Looking forward to many more great master pieces in 2022.
Simply a work of pure art. Enjoyed every minute of the video. Watched it quite a few times now. Given me the push to finally start my fury German town diorama. Keep up the awesome work.
As expected absolutely fantastic mate. If this doesn't inspire people to have a go at something then i don't know what will. Nice little Christmas present to all of us from you. Thank you and here's to a good new year and more great builds
Everything is awesome, as usual, but the building is simply stunning! You did great work on the detail and damage, and making it still look in use despite the war surrounding it. Thanks and happy new year!
Another epic build...the 1:13:02 flew by....so many amazing details, techniques and tips. Your work is incredible and a sheer pleasure to watch regardless the subject. Thanks for a great 2021 and here's to another super year of modelling to look forward to. A belated Happy New Year!
Absolutely fantastic my friend. You have a great eye for small details. Thank you for a great 2021 and I hope 2022 will be even better. Happy holidays to you and yours, and I wish you much sucess and great health in 2022.
I've seen so many of your videos and i love it. The work you putt in to the details is amazing, i wish i had these ways of detailing when i was young. But i had to work with what we had and could afford. Still i was able to make some, although not with the detail you putt in to it. I really love your work.
Excellent video! Amazing dio! Great job! The house in particular, as mentioned by others, is stunning! As for the foam, as others ask, if in Europe, look for AK foam, they do have a few varieties. I'll be using their Construction foam for a dio I'm working on. Green Stuff World also has some foam. And then of course on Leroy-Merlin and other stores of this kind, they do have different kinds of foam, XPS, EPS, the choice depends on what we want to do with it. Wish you a great New Year! Cheers!
Thanks......stick to construction XPS insulation foam.....its a lot cheaper than 'modelling' brands.......EPS is white polystyrene which is good for different things👍
@@CWModelling Yes, XPS is what I'm using for the base of my dio ;) I got a couple of AK Construction foam just for making the ruins, I think it will be easier to work with it than with the XPS (at least the one I got, blue, not gray like yours, maybe it's a different kind, IDK, got this one on the local Leroy-Merlin... Funny cause on this Leroy-Merlin, the EPS they have is kind of light gray). For the main base the XPS I got is great indeed ;) Yours looks pretty good too for the house ruins, I don't think I'd be able to build the ruins with mine. Cheers!
A very good diorama, with everything it need therefore. Something, that harmonizes wonderfully in its composition. Very nice video about its development up to this perfect result. A nice completition for this year, Ian. Wish you all the best for the next year. Greetings, Joachim
Excellent, mate! Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me 👍 It would be great if you could add notes as to which materials and products you're using, paint colors, thinning ratios, air pressure, etc. (I know you do this in some of your separate build videos) . It would be a big help here for those of us wanting to replicate what you're doing!
Cheers......this one was just eye candy for xmas but there are some brief notes in the video description......normal service will be resumed next year👍
Amazing Ian….. Always enjoy watching you create those unique buildings, the brickwork & damage to the first floor is superb👌. Figures suit the scene so well, great copy from that original photograph! Well done bud, look forward to seeing more marvels in 2022…😄👍
G'day CW, I'm gobsmacked! This is outstanding work. Made even more impressive that you've based your diorama on a real photograph; which gives the finished art a great credibility of purpose. You've got a very keen eye for minute detail and this gives your scene even more authenticity. This is the first of your work I've seen. I'm so glad I caught this. There is no way I can't subscribe now. I'll have a great time catching up on your other work and I look forward to more. You are a highly talented modeller, congratulations and a Happy New Year! BH Hobart, Tasmania
@@CWModelling G'day CW, I'm sure I will. Was just over on your home page, trying to take it all in. I'm astounded by your work. I'm ex-RAAF and, surprise, mostly do aircraft of WW2 and Korea onward. I'm a military historian which keeps me busy. The closest I've come to a diorama are flight line patches of taxiway and runways. The only structure I've tackled is the gaping 'mouth' of a large aircraft maintenance hangar, done from memory of a RAAF hangar that I know was built during WW2 at RAAF Forest Hill, near Wagga Wagga, NSW. Looking back on that build; mine looks like a tarpaulin lean-to compared to your buildings! ;) All the best and I'm glad the RUclips algorithm recommended your video. See, sometimes, they get it right... Cheers, BH
a stunning piece as always so much inspiration watching your videos has helped me improve my own skills. Happy new year to you and cannot wait until 2022 to watch more
Operation Market Garden was and still is a big thing in the Netherlands. We celebrate it every year. De brug bij Arnhem. We vieren het ieder jaar. We zijn dankbaar wat de Amerikanen voor Nederland hebben gedaan
My Grandfathers war ended in Eindhoven shortly after Market Garden when he was hospitalised.......he was visited in hospital every day by a Dutch family and they became lifelong friends until he died in 1990....we thank you too 👍
I love how the blast hole looks in the building but would soot from the explosion around it be appropriate? Also wondering if the tank and road should be dirtier or the road to have more damage/ a blast hole. Cool build though!
Truely amazing, c w you have given me some tips, I'm going to do a diaroma in 1/72 of the dam buster, wonder how it will turn out.John from australia...
I have just discovered your channel...WOW such talent! not sure where you are from but where ever... that place is lucky! Happy New year to you from a new subscriber! Oh what's the music?...very atmospheric and certainly fits the topic of your diorama! Stay safe my friend!
amazing as usual. Happy new year 2022 to you too. May I suggest if you could incorporate the image (the original) that you showed us at the beginning of your build - that inspired you to replicate it to scale diorama. It would look nicer in my opinion, just a simple frame next to the finished diorama with a couple of history background lines.
Thanks.....yeah, it struck me when I watched the final video that maybe I should have done that.....but I couldn't be arsed to re-render the video as it took 5 hours to process, lol
A superb build! One point ?if I'm allowed? - the lintels above the windows and doors should be wider than the opening? None the less a great build, keep it up, and a happy new year to you and yours.
Thanks👍 .......they're not lintels but a soldier course of bricks above the windows which is most likely supported from a hidden lintel behind them but they can also be unsupported, relying on the mortar to keep them in place.....if you look at the period photos of the building you'll notice that the soldier course lines up with the window jambs 👍
Enjoyed it , great work , just a question what are you brushing on the brick after been painted, looks to me like a sort of varnish, and after that to fill it up is that plaster/ gypsum to create that cement look ?

Your work is incredible!!! One thing. If you've ever demolished a brick wall you would know they never all come down whole. You should've broke some of them up a bit.
I am a dutch man and I have to say, the building? Spot on!! Like my bakery back in the sixties! Wel done!
Besides having the skills, experience, the material, the tools the most important thing is... patience.
A lot of patience.
Fascinating to see the process.
Thanks for watching........I think in making dioramas, as in most endeavours in life, patience is top of the list of the skills and tools to prefect👍
Extraordinary skill and knowledge! Bravo! Thanx for sharing!!🔥👌👍✌

That damage to the building looks amazing. The color difference between the fresh rubble and the time-weathered exterior is extraordinary.

Remarkable detail! Just remarkable! 😳
Unusual Sherman.
I may have to get one for my mini tank park!
May I ask why it is unusual?
Fantastic work!! Thanks for showing it, at 23:50 the music track was really amazing, thank you!
Das Haus ist der Hammer 🔨 Klasse Suuuuper !!!!! Top 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Fantastic work, rich in detail. Show
one of the best👏 Market garden subject is very good for making dioramas and more shermans😉
Wonderful attention to detail. Another great diorama love the tank.
Gob-smackingly brilliant. A real treat to have to round off the year. Thank you!
Now that's art!!! I've lived there ( aalst-waalre) , makes it more beautiful
That brickwork is great. You actually work it as a miniature brick layer.
incredible work.

The Dutch have a great description of what you're doing with those bricks: monniken werk. Monks work. But man that looks good!

Brilliant!😃
