      Calcium indeed. I didn't hear anything about bicycling although I suppose a lockdown kind of gets in the way of that. Hopefully that will be lifted after the holidays and you can *not* break a leg working all those cookies off. ;>)
      I'd say the foliage/ground work is your best improvement so far. The composition and layout of the diorama you properly credit to others (the execution is yours alone of course) and we expect you to get a tank right- your figure work has improved by leaps and bounds, but I still think the completely convincing foliage is stunning. Without it the rest would look... weird.
      Anyway, happy holidays and we'll see you again on the other side.

    Modelling since I was a kid, with Shep Paine's "How to Build Dioramas" as my bible, it just blows me away that this is the level that modelling has gotten to now, with 4K video so sharp we can see detail that would be harder to view in real life on 1/35 models. Amazing.

    For what it's worth, I prefer your videos split up. I like watching them just for entertainment value, but I also use them as a reference. Having a video specifically about making a building or a road makes it easier to come back and refresh my memory!

    I must thank you again. I have made many dioramas, one of which has exceeded three million views on youtube. But I admit that you made me want to do the dioramas differently. I started by ordering the polystyrene cutting machine. And I'll copy you, at least at the start. I hope you don't mind. Well done, you really are an excellent designer and your videos are particularly well done. Bravo again and a big thank you. I am sure that you will give birth to vocations.

    Night Shift: the man who will take a real rock, put it in his diorama, then repaint it to make it look more like a rock. The detail is so incredible on this model that sometimes one forgets the scale of it, until you see the size of his fingers in comparison and remember that the part which you though was ten centimetres long is actually ten millimetres. An artist at work!

    The levity of the dog(s), the gravity of the warzone; the ugliness of the battered building, the beauty of the plant life; the vulnerability of one cat, the raw power of the other. A wonderful build that you could explore for a long time.

    In the US we had "21st century toys" which made all sizes of model military vehicles. Watching your concrete Sherman, the current mk4 build and this Jpanther set up makes me want to search my mother house for my old Stug4 modle and try to make a scene!

  • @jasont2610
    @jasont2610 2 года назад

    Great video thank you. Your scratch builkding scenery is so insipring - your sculpting is incredible to me.
    I laughed when I saw you using paint brush bristles as grass. When I was a kid I got in trouble for "trimming" mother's broom to make grass for my first few tries at making vignettes for 1/35 figures. In those days (before internet/online shopping) there were esentially no scenics available where I lived, and the only reference materials were a couple of old books in the public library and articles in the back of the Airfix catalogue.
    We're so lucky now.

  • @dkaustin98
    @dkaustin98 2 года назад

    I enjoy your videos, especially the videos on the stone structures and the streets. I am a narrow gauge model railroader and what I model is in the desert Southwest of the U.S. Your methods can be used in model railroading. There were a lot of stone structures as a prevalent and free building material in the SW desert. I have already purchased my large block of HD foam and I got my Proxon cutter and the hand tools. I plan to get some mining town structures going soon. I do hope to see more of your stone and brickwork structure in 2022. I started sharing your channel with my model railroading peers on the forums that I frequent. You may find more of us model railroaders watching your videos. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Looking forward to see more from you in 2022.

    Spent the summer here on the rugged, rocky coast of Maine building, modifying and running an RC rock crawler . Now it is December and winter in Maine aint for whiners!! The solution, back to modelling.
    Martin, your diorama skills have flourished since last spring, to understate the obvious.
    Me, the toothpick/epoxy putty technique for zimmerit, pretty damn good, kinda. Weld lines a bust. This is the essence of why I model.
    Let's be honest, it is the encountering of and solving of obstacles that cause the juices to flow.
