What a challenge this was to make! Love making the realistic rust and stuff! :) A big thanks to our Patrons and Members this month, no early access on this one, but we'll be back with an early access shortly! Also planning to do some more behind the scenes content for Patrons and Members in the future! Much love 💜
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH 😍😎✌️👌
The rust looks so good. It's crazy realistic, but still so cute and tiny in a gritty way XD
Great job.. really nailed the atmosphere :)
Definitely amazing
It was awesome, came together very well. One suggestion to consider for any future dioramas involving railways would be to paint the sleepers of the railway track to make them look like wood or concrete. It doesn’t detract from this one but was something I noticed. Always great watching you work.
Honestly her neighbors have stopped questioning their disappearing gravel
Lol
I imagine that it must hilarious to watch her and her orange cat try to casually approach the pebbles and stealthily put them in a tiny bag while being 'assisted' by her wee beastie. Perhaps her neighbor has a game camera.
haha
Hahahaha I was howling with laughter
Why do I feel jealous each time I watch your videos? The way your brain processes things are like the way I did years ago... Today, I am left with imagination rate of ZERO. Life... I wish I could pursue my dreams like you do now. Great job. 💖
The spill (10:59) makes it looks more authentic I think, since a lot of deep tunnels flood when they're no longer maintained because of how close they are to the ground water. Especially in Russia, cause of how deep a lot of the metros are.
a few years from now: "dad... legends say there used to be gravel here"
"my son... it's... complicated"
That’s awesome 😎
I don’t get it
@@kraemergamer5826 I said it's complicated 😝
@@kraemergamer5826 for context, she always steals gravel from her neighbours whenever she makes a diorama, so the joke is that over time she'll steal all the gravel without anyone knowing and it becomes a myth/legend.
Oh lol I feel so stupid now
The neighbours:
"Honey, Martina's stealing our gravel again!"
"What a strange girl"
Did she even use the gravel? I don't think she did, lol.
@@Kajenx I think she did. She added it along with fake bushes in the end.
Marina: Gotta stop stealing gravel
Also her: *Keeps perfecting her stealing techniques*
Isn't it MarTina?...whatev though..oxmelissa 💋
@@melissadyas8332 you're right, but my fat fingers can't type apparently lol
@@AlcheonArt lmfao...that's good...it is kinda sad that I can relate...thnxx..stay safe..oxmelissa 💋
Cool that the sponsor didn’t just say “hey, advertise out game” and actually asked you to make something based on it instead. I don’t play pubg but this was pretty cool of them.
I wonder where it ended up. In their corporate office, or maybe on display in the lobby?
@@rfresa im guessing in a storage closest or the trash bin as thats the typical thing these companies do
Martina, I found you last night and am hooked on your channel! I showed it to my son who asked me about making an ocean diorama for a science project. Although we could never come close to what you would produce, your channel offers us inspiration and insight into the process of creating art. I am truly moved by the joy you make your audience feel when they watch you toil, craft, shape, and paint new scenes. You make them come to life and breathe the magic of love onto their little worlds. Thank you for making both my son and I smile so much when watching a video together. WOW! Keep up the fantastic craft of creation. You have an innate talent for sure!
You are great and I love dioramas and you nailed it! Can't wait for more
Totally agree
Neighbor - "Where did my driveway go?!" Dioramas winning awards at local competitions with special thanks to neighbors driveway LOL
I'm sitting here reading the posts and they make me smile, I get to this one and bust out laughing. Well played man.
"post apocalyptic" looks like normal brooklyn metro stations to me
Ha
Bruhhh......
lol
I...ah...eh....uff. xD
Yeah it’s post apocalyptic Russia of the metro stations they had a few games and novels
The texture on all of this is seriously the coolest thing ever.
Just found you!!! Such fantastic work and love watching your pieces come to life.
It has been about a year since I used your "Epic Bookbinding" videos to make my sisters the best Christmas gifts ever and I just want to thank you for your awesome content.

Keine Ahnung, hab das Wort noch nie gehört
@@mistermisteron Nee oder? :> erklärt sich ja von selbst, zitterndes Licht wie bei nem Schweisser. Wieder was gelernt :)
Licht aus Sweiss (Switzerland) obviously ;D
@@Artas1984 Ich hab Schweiss gelesen und wollte mich grade wundern.
Ja ist mir auch nicht ganz klar
That is officially the coolest thing ever.
Seconded.
Why should this guy get most likes than the channel
I have liked tooooo
from a certain point of view
You make CoVid time so entertaining. My craft room is being remodeled, so I’m enjoying you accomplish stuff. You always make me grin, kiddo. I’m in my late 70’s Nd still building stuff. so you have many more years to still enjoy making cool stuff. It never really goes away.
Me: *sees the title*
my brain:
You do not need it, You do not need it, You do not need it,You do not need it
Also me: I NEED IT¡¡¡¡¡
PD:
This is the most amazing diorama in history, I want to live there :3
Sees crack- station
"I wanna live there!"
I read your comment & all I could think of was Sponge Bob! 😆🍍
I love dioramas but when your done, you're like. crap Where do I put it.
Martina is it me or do you see a world that isn't there. By this I mean the creative thought that you put into these creations is truly beyond words. You are truly blessed with a gift.
Each time I say "This is the most amazing thing ever", I think Martina accepts the challenge to make something EVER MORE AMAZING ❤
She looks at the screnn and goes "...Hold my coffee"
That occasional light hiccup is unnerving. That a single element of a diorama can evoke such a response speaks volumes about the realism of the entire diorama! I LOVE THIS!
Lesson learned from NerdForge videos: When adding texture, aging, details, go a whole step past where my comfort level would be. Then go one more step. More detail is the difference between really nice and AMAZING!
I love how casual Martina says "Time to steal my neighbor's gravel" lol
Amazing build!! Loved seeing all the aging techniques that were used to bring this to life! Beautiful! 😍
Don't worry about your train, that is the german train company "deusche Bahn", and they either are late or never arrive😂 adds to the lore of your diorama honestly!
Great work👍!
I love that you presented your daily effort like this. You illustrated for me perfectly that working consistently on a project, with reasonable daily goals, you can achieve anything, Thank you for this. I needed it.
The thumbnail for this video was nestled in amongst the random assortment of weirdness that RUclips recommends to me, and as anything related to post-apocalyptic modeling catches my attention, I clicked on it. I'm glad I did. Wow. Very cool work. I also love the kitty 'helpers'.
"bricks And me are not friends" **seriously having flasbacks from the Castle build**
But it were such a great video still xD
Girl... you're amazing! You draw and paint, and create things so easily and with enthusiasm! I love your projects! Keep it up!
I definitely should be doing college work... but when you see Martina and Hansi upload nothing else is as important! Thankyou for another amazing project ❤
Honestly me too....
For making figure stand, don’t use glue. It is difficult to make correction if you want to re-position the figure. Plus, if you add to much glue, it will flood out from the figure once you press them down to the base. In a clean diorama this is a problem. The way I did it was I drilled 0.5mm hole on the base of the figure. Then insert 0.5mm rod (steel or plastic) into the drilled hole on the figure’s base. Drill 0.5mm hole on the spot where you want to place the figure. Insert the figure with a rod already inserted onto the diorama. If you don’t like it, you can drill new hole and easily cover the unused hole. Plus now you can hold the figure for easy painting.
Thanks for the info, I'll have to use that. God Bless :)
Loved the forge graffiti u did on the wall!
It’s like an artists signature
This is just amazing. Speechless, it is wonderfull! I have a doll house background, never thought that adding dirt and grime to a diorama would make something look so incredibly realistic. Just wow!
I sees cat, I clicks like.
Seriously, though, it's an interesting project. As it happens, earlier today I watched a Luke Towan video, about how to build a "museum quality", ultra-realistic model railway station. And he has, in fact, built a metro station before (but a normal, non-post-apocalyptic one).
Now Luke Towan is a bit like Leonardo da Vinci, in the sense that he builds amazing things, and you think "I could never do that". And here you are, stuffing a drain pipe with a German post-war three-axle passenger car, and not only does it look like I could do it myself, it totally looks like a video game.
So yeah, good job.
Martina you've outdone yourself!! My favourite part is always when you're painting on the rust/aging effects. You're a master!!!❤️
I'm not sure what this channel is about. I only know I'm constantly amazed !!! Also there's a high level of happiness involved ... even with the gruesome monsters haha! You know what you do, that's fer sure! Just keep doing it! :D
"Excuse me, officer, I have to report a theft..."
"What was stolen, and do you have any suspects?"
"Yes, officer -- that girl there keeps stealing my gravel!"
"Are you aware, sir, that girl is the world-famous Martina of Nerdforge?"
"Yes, but... my gravel..."
"If that young woman needs gravel, then you should feel honored she has deigned to elevate your lowly stones to a whole new level of nerdy existence! You should feel lucky that I don't arrest *you* for interfering in her work!"
Her: But i want my gravel back...
Officer: That's it, *Click* "Houston, drop the bomb" *click*
Ahaha, thats SO Hilarious I got real tears in my eyes from laughing. Thank you. For it.
Her creativity is just mind blowing! Love that she makes everything looks so easy (while is really not), sits down and makes a drawing plan just like that! Found you and watched back all your videos within a few days! Love everything you create!
Honestly this channel just makes me want to immediately do something creative and I love it
Same.
Your detail painting and weathering is top notch! Such a good eye!
Thank you so much 😀
10:50 the flooded tunnel look is actually really neat
"I don't like you anymore", "Clyde!" and "I got to stop doing that," had me rolling. Been there, done that! I'm curious to see what she could do with those LEDs like Boydei Hobby Time uses.
This is awesome, I think your biggest issue with collecting pebbles is not your neighbors but your furry assistant.
If only all sponsorships lead to content this quality
This is amazing. I thought it was 3D art from the thumbnail, cause most of my recommended on YT is 3D. This was such a great surprise to watch. Subbed!
The level of detail is astounding! Good job, Martina and Hansi!
Sjkera bagera! I have been married to a Norwegian for 30 years and I have never heard that. Mind you, he moved to California when we married, and we visit every other summer to Norway. I have to say it to him and freak him out since I speak Norwegian to him out of nowhere. I fell in love with your Infinity Book and also the Harry Potter book. Learning so much from you! You are so awesome 👏 I want to learn the led lighting like you. You have no fear!!! Pretty simple!!
I loved to see Hansi's part in the making process. Love to see more switching back and forth between Hansi and Martina, collaborating on a project.
nice job
Thanks for taking the time to make the model, the video and share it 😊
It was so funny how she pronounced "Schweisslicht" (it was by the way not wrong!)... i'm from germany so i know it xd
That's just what I (as a German aswell) thought xD
Idk about you, but I feel like she pronounces it more accurate than most people here would :'D
True 😅
Moin meister
BUT IT SOUNDED GOOD??? like REALLY good?
Well, the norwegian language does have similar sounds to the German one, so it's not really surprising actually.
this creation has grown quite close to my heart because I play Fallout which takes place after the nuclear war and there are also a lot of mutants, ghouls, and other enemy elements, but also radiation
Hell yes! You deserve all the sponsors that let you do cool projects like this!
You should have used another train car, because this one is
not a metro carriage. This one is used in vintage local trains.
I love watching you make stuff it’s different than a lot of the others I watch, I also use a lot of your painting tips and tricks when I’m painting my clay sculptures or doing a regular artwork on paper. Very very inspiring!
It's realy verry nice diorama apocalyptiques. Great works .
"Honey! That strange blue-haired girl is stealing gravel from our driveway again!" "Don't worry about it...at least she's not casting a spell on us!" Very nicely done. Love the level of detail!
As a Fellow diorama builder I can say that the work is outstanding
Great job 👍
Seconded that. From another modeller ;-)
Incredibly cool. The weathering and wear and tear are so convincing. The lighting really does bring the scene to life. What you create is so cool but how you create it is just as cool. Super creative, great detail, patience, problem solving and your joy in the creative process. I get so many great tips and such a treat to watch your whole creative experience.
The diorama looks gorgeous and the weathering job in general is on point!! This is the kind of content makes me smile. Excellent job :D
Amazing!!
This is the most gorgeous diorama I've seen so far. Absolutely love it!
Thanks to you guys and this magnificent piece of art, I have now gotten into the Metro 2033 series. I also have an idea for another diorama: a Fatal Frame/Project Zero diorama. You guys love using LEDs in your work, and you also made some glowing tree spirits in that little lamp diorama a while back, so making a ghost themed diorama would be amazing 💖
It is awesome! Maybe one or two ruined signs on the wall, some broken bottles on the ground.. more trash, bags and paper boxes... but as i say.. You are awesome artist! welldone!
Freakin awesome. You guys are so talented with the stuff you make and the videos and everything. It's just superb
At the beginning we cry, because we see ourselves dispossessed of something between guys! The model! But the more the video progresses the more we see the quality of the work! The idea is original too! The video game that comes out as a model. With a lot of details in addition. Which means research. I thought she was going to forget to rust the rails, and no, she did! The comic book wagon is in ruins, the walls and floors are rotten and dirty. So everything is pretty well done in the end. Except for a small flattening, on the sleepers which are still too plastic. Then the creation of the characters and their patina. It's almost 20/20! Well done! Stéph.
Au début on pleur, car on se voit dépossédé de quelque chose entre mecs! La maquette! Mais plus la vidéo avance et plus on voit la qualité du boulot! L'idée est originale en plus! Le jeu vidéo qui sort en maquette. Avec pas mal de détails en plus. Ce qui veut dire de la recherche. J'ai cru qu'elle allait oublier de rouiller les rails, et bien non, elle l'a fait! Le wagon de la BD est bien refait en ruine, les murs et le sols sont bien pourries et sale. Donc tout est assez bien fait au final. Sauf un petit bémol, sur les traverses qui font encore trop plastique. Puis la création des personnages et leur patine. C'est presque un 20/20 ça! Bravo! Stéph.
I've watched halfway through so far and I can say this looks pretty accurate to the parisian metro in the the lesser known/used stations lol
I love seeing your thought process in the construction of these projects, I would love to try a Star Wars diorama some day!
That monster was on point, and the train looked so real you could scrape off the rust with a wire brush.
Awesome to see video game sponsors on crafting videos!
Amazing, I love creating diorama scenes, using materials at hand encourages my iniative and creativity.
This is amazing! Also I feel like the camera shots at the end got so much better, cinematic!
We have this SCHWEISSLICHT 😂
Looks extremely cool!
Welcome, my german brother
@@maxbilger4284 Dankeschön! 😄
“It’s never been easier to steal gravel” omg 😂😂
Very nice. Only thing missing is scattered newspapers and soda bottles, possibly some old advertising on the walls or concert leaflets tacked to the bricks to give a sense of former human activity , just my opinion. You did the paint very well, especially the water stains on the bricks. Well done.
I love the nasty grunge look of it. I think the use of the sheets for the tiles is best because tiles are very uniform in how they are laid out irl
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that saves the backing from my old notebooks - It's so hard to find good thick cardboard sometimes! I've been getting more into dioramas lately for my Nendoroids (still mostly concepting & testing small things so far) & I take great inspiration from your builds!
Each week you guys seem to set the bar a little higher. Keep it up. I would love to see how you would interpret an actual rain forest or treasure hunt adventure diorama. Your eyes for detail are so amazing. ♥️♥️♥️ Keep it up!!!♥️♥️♥️
Love the Patron/Member recognition during your montages!!!
I love your projects!! Perfect mix of fantasy and craftsmanship
This is such a good video please continue to make more
Wow that light effect tho! it elevates the whole diorama, very cool as always Martina!
You should be working on movies. Head set designer, creator, scenic artist.
You’re so creative and imaginative. Even put in lights! It must be so different making this kind of art as opposed to painting on a large scale. Working in miniatures requires such delicacy, and a steady hand 🖐
I’m saving this for future reference. You’re so ingenious with how you created this scene. No detail left out. Can’t believe what a great paint job you did on that tiny figurine
I loved it. I wish you elaborated more about painting the figurines, I will paint my first figurine this weekend and I would have appreciated some tips. You are amazing.
Love the way it turned out
7 days. All the details of a apocalypse. Challenge accepted. XO
That hoodie design is wild!
Damn I love everything y’all do!!! *inner nerd squeal*
Ah, thats what that sound is.
19:50- Yeah, the non existent feet is a bit weird….. but I guess if you don’t look at that part to long then I guess you wouldn’t notice it……… I did! But that’s just me!
"and it looks so grimy and nasty and I love it" 😂😂😂 we all love a grimy nasty post-apocalyptic metro station
Also.. I'm off to steal my nephew's train thing
RUclips suggested this video when I was watching Peter Brown make bowls, and I am glad it did. This is awesome work and I am subscribing immediately :)
I love how she keeps saying "we" while I'm just lying on my bed
She's using the pluralis modestiae, while she definitely deserves using it as pluralis majestatis.
Incredible!
These details🔥
Beautiful 👌
this is amazing i hope you will get more offers for these kind of projects :3
Thanks for this comment
Came here by accident (youtube recommendation), startled, jumped in my chair when you yelled "skjera baghera" and had to check your info; Norwegian! And Lier! So stoked to see awesomeness like this happen "just around the corner". Wooh!
Being a fellow Norwegian I'd love to hear where you get your materials from. I've been looking to do tiny dioramas for ages, just haven't dared to yet.
So many details !!! OMG ! I love that ! And the atmosphere so creepy ! Good job Martina !
The diorama looks phenomenal!!
Here's an important tip tho: if you gather anything from outside, dirt, gravel, wood(rotten or not) make sure to bake it in an oven for at least an hour, high heat always!!
You are incredible! This is absolutely amazing! You did SUCH a great job with the details!
Some of the most amazing art pieces I have seen, new to the channel but I love all of these!
NerdForge : **doing some amazing projects during quarantine**
Me : **literally doing nothing, but sleep, watch NerdForge, drawing nonsense**
Omg it's looked realistic like from a horror movie I loved it you're amazing!!
:D
And you know it's Norway, most people just still do their normal routines :p
1st time viewer here....
1st 2 minutes i thought you would wind up with some underwhelmingly average diorama.
at the end i was saying "7 effing days she did this"?...
THAT.... was amazing!
I just want to say, you are an incredibly talented duo, I love absolutely everything you do and the amazing attention you put into details
Please never stop :D
