WW2 DOGFIGHT DIORAMA-/How to Make/DIY

[@3DPlasticFantasy]

The work looks absolutely stunning Michael, the level of realism you put in the explosion is incredible.

[@4THECRAFT]

ευχαριστώ πολύ φίλε 👍👍

[@peterjones8564]

Excellent Michael fabulous detail ....the only things l didn't like were the propellers

[@Smallathe]

Wonderfully crafted. A "Dune" worm eating a spice harvester - wound be fascinating to see

[@4THECRAFT]

Thanks cool idea

[@docwithnodegree3416]

This is awesome! And thank you so much for actually making a tutorial instead of just a sped-up version of the build with music in the background! I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have someone explaining what they do along the way. Love this!

[@4THECRAFT]

Glad I could help! Thank you 😊

[@katiewaterrose]

I always think... How is that going to work out and then my mind gets blown every single time. You are so talented!

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you Katie. Many times when I start a project I also think ... how is that going to work out so you are not the only one 🙂

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

Holy crap, this is a masterpiece.

[@maxiwf]

Outstanding realism from such a small scale diorama. Wonderfully made! Congratulations!

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you very much!

[@franmisantone3230]

still by far my favorite craft channel , the work you do with detail is amazing , great job this is incredible !!

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Quickened1]

Your attention to detail is second to none! I have one suggestion to make your future dioramas a bit easier to accomplish. I noted that the wires you use are pretty thick. I believe you could use much thinner wire, since LEDs pull such little current. You could literally use wires almost as thin as human hair! Thus, you could drill smaller holes, and they will be much easier to conceal... This turned out incredible as usual!

[@4THECRAFT]

Thanks. This was the thiner wire I could find in my local store and it was indeed a bit thick for the scale of the plane. I will try to find thiner wires on the web

[@Doge67856]

Lovely diorama!

[@IngoGarza]

Great editing and commentary and amazing result! Loved watching the diorama come togheter.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you very much!

[@jamestracz5233]

The realistic look is spot on, you have created a incredible scene.!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you so much 😀

[@khyronthethunderhawg6577]

Great work! I'm impressed that the Bf-109 can hold the Spitfire like that. One minor detail...the 109 does not have a 4-blade prop. Other than that, excellent work and inspiration.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thanks. Re propeler blade , I thought that when it turns very fast it gives the impression of more blades than the propeller actually has. Hope I am making sense

[@jwbjpb1338]

A work of art. Beautiful.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RabbitBusters]

Unbelievably brilliant!

[@S0l0ppYT]

it looks fantastic, nice job!

[@4THECRAFT]

Thanks!

[@jscooting4180]

You should build a diorama of B-17 vs ME 109. Good Job :)

[@rustysmommy50]

Oh my!! This one is my favorite of yours! I thought the propellers were genius!! I’ve used the aluminum foil for water on a painting before! It works so well!!

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you so much! Yes the aluminum foil is very nice for water although the best material is epoxy clay (but expensive, especially for large surfaces)

[@davidkanengieter]

Just amazing! Thank you for sharing that build.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you too for watching 🙏

[@miguelangellopez2047]

Espectacular.... Maestro

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Amazing. It's hard to call it beautiful, because it's war, but it is. Your attention to detail is wonderful and the whole piece is stunning. Thanks for sharing this, Michael.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thanks Vickie. I agree. On the other hand these dioramas etc help us to remember history so that we will try to avoid the same mistakes

[@Vickie-Bligh]

@@4THECRAFT Agree!

[@MiG-31893]

@@4THECRAFT could you please make another dogfight diorama? This one was incredible and I would love to see another one!

[@4THECRAFT]

@MIG-31 “FIREFOX” it is on my to do list

[@pezza_trains]

Absolutely amazing 👏. I'd love to see a diorama of HMT (RMS) Olympic ramming and sinking German U-boat SM U-103 from WW1 😊

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you . It is on my to do list

[@Simoncressey99]

Nice build fella. I have started using cob LED strips or tape instead of the normal smd tape there like the flexible LED noodle filaments. And you don't have to do that folding trick.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thanks mate. Indeed, I need to switch to led filaments

[@lacrauangolano]

amazing! very beautiful.

[@djspeed85]

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

Congratulazioni, Signore! This resulted in a far better display than I initially had anticipated. Eccellente! I have been contemplating displays rather similar to this. I aldo would employ 1:24th-, 1:32nd-, and 1:48-scale models for the far greater level of detail, as well as a couple 1:72nd-scale miniatures in the background, to create a forced perspective diorama. Your simulation of “smoke” and “flame” gives me a possible answer to a riddle on how one securely can support the largest replicas. One need only mask or obscure them! Grazie! Another approach I would use would be to borrow from motion picture production methods the Chapman Crane, wherein one obscures the cradling structure through 1) placing it behind the figure or object it holds in place, then 2) covering with clothing or other accoutrements germane to the presentation the fitted apparatus supporting the subject that remains in view. I also would motorise the propeller to create as realistic the effect as possible. I understand that one would need to substitute a duplicate propeller made of strong, resilient metal, as the polystyrene over time is likely to suffer wear from the stress of momentum. Again, a remarkable presentation!

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you and I also appreciate the tips

[@craigtreece8179]

The death star trench scene from star wars would be an awesome challenge

[@anthonyeagleton4126]

[@juliuscullum6596]

That's awesome. It would be sweet if you did a p51 Mustang in a dog fight with a Japanese ww2 plane.

[@destinyangel5]

Amazing work looks super good with led effect very realistic . I would have tilted the spitfires wing a little banking a bit more left turning opposite the out of control right bank of the BF 109 , really good ,like its flying through the smoke , be good to find a way to add more 3d water spray physics trailing the BF's right wing and back from start make it spray much higher even at start of water strike . Great work thank you for sharing .

[@4THECRAFT]

Thanks for the tip

[@Ingenieria_2024]

It is very good, although I think the fire should have started in the engine. It's very hard for the wing to catch fire that much, even with the hydraulic oil. Still, it's very good, congratulations!

[@4THECRAFT]

Many thanks. I sacrificed a bit of accuracy for display purposes

[@mantass7094]

Very beautiful job, thank you for sharing. May I ask a question, does epoxy resin release toxic substances during the curing reaction?How to solve it?

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you. I think it does that's why you need to wear a respirator safety mask and work on a well ventilated room

[@marcindec3280]

This diorama is very creative. However I wonder what can burn like this in bf109 wing?

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you very much 👍👍

[@kevinlarson4519]

Brilliant...

[@Certawin]

Pretty nicely done. Like a few others said. You have a great eye for details. Do you mind me asking. Did you think about trying to just spray over the aluminum foil? For the water effect?

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you. If i understand correctly do you mean if I thought to spay paint first? No I always use primer first so that I ensure the paint will stick properly.

[@GleisonSilvaQueiroz]

Magnífico 👏👏👏👏

[@4THECRAFT]

Many thanks 👍

[@ARONLINGHOONGROYMoe-sd3bt]

Just for context the German plane is the BF109 G-10 and the British plane is the spitfire mk.v

[@saikumarsaripalli]

Awesome ❤, love from India

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you so much 😀

[@hgm8337]

amazing,.. would there be so much flame emanating the wing though? I am no piston-powered aviation engineering consultant but wouldn't the fuel tank need to be hit for a proper flame-out?

[@4THECRAFT]

Yes, I sacrificed a bit of the realism to make it more impressive

[@michaelestrada6840]
