#06 SEA DIORAMA - 1:700 scale, painted with a brush

[@robjohnson2821]

Great job my friend, especially as you got such a great effect using brushes. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@littlesailor]

Thanks a lot! 🙂 the movie is over two years old and I would probably do it better now ... maybe it's time to try: D

[@seansky2721]

Excellent results using basic materials. I like how your ocean surface is affected by the passing of the vessel, rather than being random, confused water texture. Bravo on your first job!

[@littlesailor]

Many thanks for You kind words! :)

[@craighughes516]

Seen this technique many times but this is the best one I've seen yet. Nicely done .

[@littlesailor]

Thanks! I'm gonna try to make similar for my USS FREEDOM now but this time using an airbrush :)

[@syrmalcolm]

this is one of the best tutorials of this technique I've found yet. Thank you for this!

[@littlesailor]

You're welcome;) I'm happy that it's helpful :)

[@mariskaklopper3376]

Awesome video, thank you so much! I did an ocean dio the past few weeks and I was so disappointed I wanted to bin the entire project, after seeing your video I have new hopes! Thanks again, will definitely give it a go, yours look incredible 👏🏼

[@littlesailor]

Thanks a lot! 😀 Hope it would be helpful. Good luck with Your poject!🤜🏼🤛🏼🙂

[@FrankJose-y1s]

Very impressive work...

[@littlesailor]

Thanks a lot! 😀

[@johnhaworth4795]

Thanks for really useful tips for small scale diorama and on a modest budget. Impressive results.

[@littlesailor]

Many thanks! I'm glad it's helpful 🙂 Cheers!

[@shipyard4444]

Just purchased a 1/1200 hms hood.going to use your technique for a diorama,great.

[@littlesailor]

Good luck with Your diorama!😀

[@loganevh]

For the first, you've done a superb job. Very nicely done. Thank you for posting.

[@littlesailor]

You're welcome! 🙂 Many thanks for Your comment. 👍

[@gorlestondoug]

I will shortly be building my first ship model and have been researching modelling tips and techniques and been trying to find a good method of doing the seascape so I was delighted to come across your video. This is one of the best I have seen and I especially love the way you have used picture frames, that never occured to me, what a great idea! Thank you for posting this....(.btw the background music seemed unneccessary to me and made your commentary a bit difficult to hear.)

[@littlesailor]

Yeah I know 🙂 sound and light in this video are not of the highest quality ... it was my beginnings with video editing so I hope it's forgivable :) I'm trying to do it better now🙂 Thanks for very nice comment! 🙏Good luck with your model and diorama! Cheers!😀

[@freedom14639]

Great video and great job. I'm a beginner and will be doing uboat diorama with brush. I will be coming back to your video for the help. Thank you.

[@littlesailor]

You're welcome 😁 hope it will help! Good luck with Your project 💪

[@ericocampos6963]

Good job! I liked The way that you used basic materials to do a great result. I will build my diorama using your way! 👏👏👏👏

[@littlesailor]

Many thanks! You should definitely try! :)

[@robertsalanon2909]

Beau résultat final !! Bravo au travail ...

[@littlesailor]

Thank you so much!!!😀

[@netserwer]

Klasa diorama! Mam mieszane uczucia co do tej ostatniej niebieskiej farby (na sam koniec), fajnie wyglądało z taką głęboką zielenią Bałtyku. Fajnie, że używałeś pędzelka, chcę to samo (i tak samo) spróbować zrobić np. z Błyskawicą, ale zastanawiam się nad jakimś nawrotem w przechyle, żeby dodać więcej dynamizmu. Brawa za materiał, nic nie brakowało. Czapka z głowy!

[@littlesailor]

Dzięki za miłe słowa🙂 co do tego półprzezroczystego niebieskiego na końcu to rzeczywiście zmienił trochę barwę całości, ale gołym okiem jest to całkiem fajny efekt i aż tak w oczy nie kłuje🙂 też myślę o czymś bardziej dynamicznym... w planach mam okręt podwodny w jakiejś ponurej, szarej morskiej scenerii🙂 Powodzenia z Błyskawicą!

[@kungwing8424]

Brilliant work. Keep it up.

[@uptownphotography]

Nice job...Well done. Philip

[@littlesailor]

Thank You!😀

[@uptownphotography]

@@littlesailor My pleasure.... I am building a harbor scene in HO 1/87 scale. I will be trying Mod Podge for the first time today. I have never used it before. The Gloss Medium I used shows too many brush strokes so hoping the Mod Podge small ripples will hide the brush strokes. Philip

[@krzysztof.sadowski.6290]

Od kiedy oglądam You Tube, prawie wcale nie oglądam TV!

[@littlesailor]

Hehe mam podobnie🙂 Ostatnio telewizor to u mnie głównie kurz zbiera 😁

[@rocketman48]

really great work well done Bill in Ireland

[@leostuntman]

This is awesome thanks mate👍

[@littlesailor]

I'm glad to hear it. Hope this tutorial is useful for modelers who do not have an airbrush.

[@andresgerding7816]

Great work. What product do you use on the 4.1 minute? Is its mod podge that dries white? Or is it gesso? Thought that mod lodge dried clear. Thanks.

[@littlesailor]

Thanks! Yes, it's MOD PODGE. Just after applying the glue is white but when it dries it's clear. I think I've mentioned it in the video. :)

[@jasonclayton9408]

excellent work

[@vicius9269]

Hi, I used tamya clear blu with Tamiya X-20A, but it stripped off the layers of Tamya sea blue that i have used before (I also use Tamia fine surface primer). Do you know the reason? How many hours I have to wait before to use clear color or Tamya x22 with brush (I waithed 5 hours)? Thank you

[@littlesailor]

Hmm it’s hard to tell. I usually wait a bit longer 20-24 hours.

[@paulhoyle9049]

Nice work!

[@rahulsgaming1317]

Instead of mod Podg can you use pva glue

[@littlesailor]

Yes. I think it should also work fine👌🙂

[@rahulsgaming1317]

@@littlesailor thanks

[@fabiosilva3799]

Very good! Please,1/700 Nimitz.

[@littlesailor]

Thank You! 😀 Nimitz is on my list but so far I have other plans

[@adamkane9414]

😲damn that's amazing👏👏 love it👍👍

[@littlesailor]

Thanks a lot!:)

[@freedom14639]

What glue did you use is it PVA

[@littlesailor]

It's Mod Podge. It's similar to PVA glue. Very good also as a base, sealer or finish.

[@freedom14639]

@@littlesailor thanks man

Very nice work. I use a very similar sea-making technique.😎👍

[@littlesailor]

Thanks!😁 I think it would be even better with an airbrush. I'm gonna try it for sure one day.

@@littlesailor Yes I use airbrush. When you're in the mood, you can check out my channel for my sea diorama production.🙂

[@arbiueo]

very helpful for beginners like me: ')

[@littlesailor]

I'm very glad to hear it🙂 Regards!

[@jimcarr4007]

Love it. I’ve never built this scale. But. Am running out of room. Can you advise on ships. And we’re to buy could you do one on building ship and painting. Well done thank you. Jim

[@subliminalstyrene811]

Are you sure that's a 1/700 kit ? it's so small it looks more like a 1/1200 or even 1/2000 kit, nice end result though and makes a nice little tabletop diorama.

[@littlesailor]

Heh... Yeah it's really small ship but I'm quite sure it's 1:700 scale 😉 Thanks a lot!

[@michaelmorris4]

Good video and great result. Only complaint is that the music is a bit too dominant.

[@littlesailor]

Totally right :) the overall quality of the music and lights could have been better👍 It was one of my first YT video so sorry for that 🙏 Thanks for Your comment. Cheers!

[@artsmodelstation9396]

After I applied primer over the dry mod podge I noticed tiny holes. Did that happen to u ?

[@littlesailor]

Probably too much primer and there were bubbles... It's better to put couple thinner coats than too much paint with one coat.

[@artsmodelstation9396]

Little Sailor figured it out. the mod podge was causing holes. switched to white glue. all good now.

[@littlesailor]

@@artsmodelstation9396 Thanks👍 Good to know🙂

[@NorthernShark89]

Thank you for this. This has been very useful for me. :D

[@littlesailor]

I'm glad that I could help!👍 Best regards! 😁

[@TV-se4ce]

Good 👍👍👍

[@TV-se4ce]

Good 👍👍👍👍👍

[@agermangineer]

I should have watched THIS video sooner! I used a paint brush for the x-22 and it’s like the gloss just disappeared with the thinner. An entire bottle of x-22 gone (like 5 layers) and the surface: matt. I should just get a brush…

[@littlesailor]

We all learn from mistakes🙂 good luck with your next projects😀

[@misieeek0485]

Sam jakiś czas temu zrobiłem taką dioramę pod mojego Vampire w siedemsetce, ale mimo że była robiona aerografem, wyszła dużo gorzej

[@littlesailor]

Dzięki :) Niedługo zabiorę się za dioramę do USS FREEDOM. Tym razem robiona będzie aerografem. Sam jestem ciekaw jak wyjdzie ;)

[@misieeek0485]

@@littlesailor powodzenia!

[@tankertom3243]

Next time you are working with white it may be a good idea to not have a white back ground it is impossible to see on the screen.

[@littlesailor]

Of course, sorry for that ;) it was one of my first movie and my camera settings were not very good... So as the background :)

[@vaggelistsaras5394]

My friend very nice tutorial but big wrong the lights. I can not watch it all cause the brightness kills my eyes. Use dark background and not a white one.

[@littlesailor]

Yeah, sorry for that ;) it was one of my first movie and my camera settings were not very good... So as the background :)

[@Game-Boy.]

Great technique and grey diorama but terrible lighting !

[@littlesailor]

True :) Those were my first steps on You Tube :/ Sorry for that :)

[@Game-Boy.]

@@littlesailor Awesome job otherwise

[@battle_promaster3631]

Lighting was annoying during much of video. Like the end project though.

[@littlesailor]

You're right. It was my first scale model and I also tested the camera settings and lighting. I know it wasn't the best. Sorry about that:)
