- Hi guys,
Second to last video in the German 88mm diorama series where we get on with making the diorama base. Ended up very happy with the outcome and I hope you enjoy watching the video.
Take care all, thanks for watching.
Cheers Glen

Glad to have found someone as helpful as you
Glad I could help, welcome aboard 👍
Nice video thank you for posting. Just a quick tip if you want to make staining easier and lower the chance of overstaining/brush marks use a wad of cotton wool or similar wrapped in a cotton rag or muslin wet the cotton wool with stain not the rag then can out on waste card or anything else that's absorbent that you can discard just to get an even flow then work the stain into the wood, you can thin the stain down a little as well to make it flow a little better hope that's useful to you .
Thanks for the info, I didn't make a great fist of the staining, and in fact I cocked the next one up as well, but I will try what you have suggested for my next base, I have to fluke one right eventually 😀
Looks Great
Thanks Greg 👍
Really nice video, great way to spend some of my Sunday morning !. Great finish to the grassy areas. Thanks, can't wait to see the finished dio.
Thanks PRM, I'm glad you enjoyed it, a lazy Sunday morning watching modelling videos is one of my favorite "me" times of the week ☕🍳😜
An extremely clean base and an equally clean work area! Kudos!
Thank you, but i have to confess the mess is just out of camera shot 😇😇😇
Your videos are so satisfying. Thanks Halidon!
Thanks Rolos, glad you like them! 👍👍👍
It looks fantastic! I'm just starting with dioramas so I'm gathering tips & tricks and with a little luck I might end up with something usable. If I can get mine half as good as yours I'll be well pleased. I like your relaxed style of video, with subtle humour and just the right amount of talking. Also, thank you for using music that's not something to be endured with gritted teeth!
Thanks Ian, much appreciated mate. I do try to be careful with the music, i would rather just be able to here it than have it jarring away, hope you got some useful tips out of it 👍👍👍
Nice job and timely as I'm in the process of making something similar for my diorama. Awesome looking trees and ground cover. Cheers!
Cool, thanks Max, i hope you got a few helpful tips out of the video 👍👍👍
GREAT JOB ON THE DIORAMA!!!
Thank you very much 👍
Fantastic build Glenn 👏 enjoyable to watch i like how you brought your idea to life. Its hard to get what is in your thoughts to a board and come to life is an art form in itself. Pulled it off differently looking forward to the next update. By the way a weed eater would make clean up much easier. 🤣🤣 well if you can find it in 1/35 scale.😉
Thanks Clay, i might take that as a challenge to make a scale weed eater 👍👍👍
Beaut job, Glen. I always look forward to your videos when I receive the notification and are never disappointed....the overall effect of this dio is terrific. I've been procrastinating over one I've been toying with for quite a while and you have given me impetus to crack on with it. Thanks!
Robbo Thanks Robbo, much appreciated mate, glad you enjoyed it and I’m pleased if it helped spur you along a bit 🤪🤪🤪
A very helpful vid. Thanks 👍
No worries, thanks Steve 👍
A nice sunbleached grassy field with some tree cover. Sounds like an ideal place for an 88.
To be fair, your lack of gardening skills is quite evident here - at one point you were just pulling that grass up like it meant nothing... *nothing.
Great build so far though - looking forward to seeing this one come together. I think it's going to look fantastic. Great vid.
Thanks Cygnusx, lol, there is no doubt i have no gardening skills at all, my wife can attest to that for sure! thanks for the great feedback as always mate, very much appreciated 👍👍👍
That's a great bit of detailing Glen very realistic thanks for the vid marra . Regards Gav.
Thanks Gav, I'm glad you enjoyed it mate 👍👍👍
What a cracking dio Glen it looks fantastic you should be proud of that build. It was nice to watch and to see how you created it from scratch a big thumbs up from me
Thanks Greg, many thanks mate, much appreciated 👍👍👍
Enjoy all these video dioramas from yourself along with others. Getting back into the model after way too many years, think 1960’s, with more relaxed time on hand now. Thanks, will keep following along.. cheers
Welcome back to the hobby Ed and welcome to Halidonia, i have really enjoyed getting back into modeling after a 40 year gap, i hope you enjoy it too 👍
Thank's for the video, very helpfull for me. Just purchased my 1st model kit in 42 years. The flak 88 and wanted to make an easy diorama and you nailed it! Its very nice bros, good job 👍
Thanks Vincent, and welcome back to the hobby mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers 👍👍👍
@@HalidonDioramas thank's! Very happy to be back. Now, I have to control my model purchasings! Did Mother Nature rock your buts all the way in Australia?
@@Vinny_Gambini Hahaha controlling the spending is difficult, I went a little bit crazy at the start and spent WAY too much money, i have more kits that i will ever build now and i still can't stop adding to the stash, but at least at a much reduced level :) Didnt feel the quake here, glad that the feared Tsunami didnt really eventuate !!!
Very good work faur play to you mate keep it up all the best Declan london
Thanks Declan, much appreciated mate 👍
I thought the finished product turned out wonderful, Halidon. Looks like a pleasant, peaceful spot except for the whole deadly conflict about to take shape! LOL
Decadent36 Thank you, I did think about putting some birds in the trees but thought that might be over doing it 😄
Muy interesante,gracias por el tuto,un saludo
Gracias Antonio, me alegra que hayas disfrutado el video. 👍
Beautifully done!!! Just subscribed! So glad that the modeling community has picked back up so much, shame it took lock downs for the modeling community to hugely start growing again. But you do AMAZING work, you're very gifted as an artist! Absolutely STUNNING WORK!!!
Thanks Ken, that's very kind of you to say, much appreciated mate. Welcome to Halidonia 👍
Thank you very much for the tips and advice and the humor…. The music makes me sad and want to drink lots of alcohol to make me happy again.and that’s not a bad thing I will be subscribing..
Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub, alcohol is an essential part of the hobby, my cave is a mixture of glue, burning plastic and whisky 😃
Cool 👍
Thanks mate 👍👍👍
Nice one, you've given me a few ideas so thanks. Oh and Gav sent me :-)
Hi Iain welcome aboard, Gav is a nice man but a notoriously poor recommender 😛😛😛
Very nice
Thanks Chris 👍
Nice dio
Thanks Anakin 👍
Oh by the way a great Diorama
Thanks Craig 😄
Fantastico tutorial!!!! Una pregunta, que modelo y marca de sierra usas? Muchmas gracias, Diorama de 10!!!!
Gracias Jorge, realmente aprecio tus amables palabras. La sierra es una sierra ingletadora Proxxon KGS 80 y es realmente buena 👍👍👍
It's good to see such a fine job on the base. Too many modelers give too little attention to the base so they can get to the fun part and it detracts from the dio. Yours is very professional. Do you use a dust cover for your dios and if so, where do you get them?
Thanks Anton, I couldn't agree more, I think a good base completes the display, while a bad one can really take away from the overall look, plus I like doing them so all part of the fun for me. I have some in a glass display cabinet but the others are just on shelves, but that's the other use for an airbrush blowing the dust off every so often 😃
I haven't tried the SMS clear yet, what don't you like about it?. I think there paint is brilliant if not a bit to expensive.
Craig Hanson Hi Craig, the clear gloss was awesome, but the flat left the figures very “dusty” it was pretty cloudy and certainly didn’t dry clear
Is there a certain type of white glue I need? For building something like this.
Any PVA glue will be fine 👍
Hey there! Hope u don't mind if i take some inspiration for my modelling contest diorama ;) i love the final results.
Thanks Mike, glad you liked it 👍
Is this diorama 1/35 scale?
Yes this one is1/35 scale
Cracking job with that grass - really convincing. When you add a second layer, are you covering the first layer with white glue again, or is the first layer still wet? The effect is great with the tyre tracks pressed in. Good stuff.
Hi Andrew, thanks mate much appreciated. Great question and something that i forgot to include in the video although i did mean to explain it. First layer went down with white glue, when that was mostly dry i used the adhesive spray over the top of layer one to put down layer two, it seemed to work OK, i thought putting more white glue down would bugger up the first layer hence the adhesive spray approach. 👍👍👍
@@HalidonDioramas Thanks - that makes sense. I can confirm that brushing white glue on layer one does indeed bugger it up! (-: This has been a very timely video mate, thanks. Cheers.
