30X40 Design Workshop Love your videos! There aren’t many of this quality on KZbin! There is a glue called “Tilly tacker” (it’s technically a botanical glue for terrariums) it’s basically hot-glue, but in a tube which makes it much easier to work with precision. Takes a bit longer to dry but it neatens things up.

@@justsomepleb.8360 great tip...I've never heard of Tilly Tacker, I'll be sure to check it out...thanks for sharing (and watching)...

[@tak828]

I really appreciate you making these videos man! Im in school for architecture now. I was wondering if you could make a video on what you would have done better( such as internships, what classes you focused more time on, etc.) in college when you were studying to be an architect. Assuming you and i are just as motivated, what do you wish you would have known and done better to come out more on top of the rest. Thank ya sir!

@@justsomepleb.8360 whats the best material for bending and taking alot of stress? I want to try make a model for a university portfolio and i have the sketchs done and development to my design i know want to show it in a model. Also it would improve my portfolio massively.

[@alf3526]

I have a model assignment due tomorrow morning and I'm here watching this video at 3 am hoping it teaches me how to make it faster

[@BFitz1976]

That's Architecture man.

[@kg9266]

I have one in three hours and im here for motivation

[@gedughum8615]

I have made 20+ models in academy as a studen if architecture & here I'm watching this to feed a lost passion in craftsmanship. Architecture.

I've been there

[@designxprod647]

Damn, well I’m now getting into architecture this summer, wish me luck I might need y’all for/through connections one day

[@laurareinholdt8819]

I’m obsessed with this series of videos

[@30by40]

do I know you?

[@ProdCashmere]

Just finished my first week, after having been introduced to model making as an architecture student. This video is beyond helpful.

[@doneletti2866]

As an architect I have not built a model for 20 years.........just built one, thanks for the inspiration. Loved the hands on process and really brought the project to life.

[@theblindsniper]

Thank you so much for this, I've been neglecting model making for so long but this has inspired me to take it more seriously and experiment + create with it! I'm much more comfortable with pen/paper/vellum/marker sketches but you're absolutely right, the physical three dimensional aspect starts helping you think in other ways! Thanks :)

[@30by40]

Fantastic to hear...good luck with it...start small...I think you'll dig it...

[@yeldaq]

there is soo many things i can learn from this video, you dont even mention because it automaticated by your brain but by just watching you making a model will be very helpful. thank you!

[@MrAustin602]

I was always a great model maker in Arch school and you are inspiring me to get back into it. I am a Project Superintendent for a large construction company and still get to play Architect sometimes. Thank you for the very direct no BS videos.

[@magiqiankun5083]

Have you left arch school?? Do you wanna start again?? No offense... I started up architecture years before then stopped for years and now I started again I'm still in the beginning form... But idk making models are creeping me out which never happened before I'm just going around and looking for something to inspire me somehow So my hands won't shake and I'll be able to really start it and probably finish too...

[@julianpoh]

I’m out of the profession for years already, but this model making video brings me right back to those explorative early days of my architecture journey. I recall now I really enjoyed this process of possibilities in design thinking that model making brings. Laborious as it is, it yields differently from mere sketching/computer-modelling. Some nifty techniques there! Thanks for imparting!

[@Mak007-j8f]

Your vdos have helped me and inspired me to take up architecture as a career ....would some day like to work with you upon graduation and learn new things .....keep inspiring and teaching us sir!

[@30by40]

fantastic...it's a rewarding one for sure...cheers...\m/

[@star_8164]

Hello I changed my major to Architecture and I am in my fourth and fifth Architecture class. I am currently taking Architectural Freehand Drawing 2 and the History of Architecture 1 at a local community college. I have learned that you have to keep up with the steps of the daily assignments and not to fall behind because it will make it hard to catch up. You have to focus and pay attention. I love architecture. Thank you for your videos. They are helpful.

[@paulcremouxstudio]

Congratulations on this very educational video. Many students and professionals will benefit from this fun, informative piece. We continue to admire the tutoring skills of Eric and his enormous ability to explain the diversity of creative processes related to our profession. Gracias amigo Eric!

[@30by40]

kind words my friend...thank you!

[@ocenmartin6791]

I love the passion this man has for architectural design

[@iamarhamjain]

I have been working with models for almost 2 years now, i have worked on multiple 30×30(cm) models to even A0 sized Models and here's what helped me the most: 1. Use *sunboards* to make your models they are a little expensive but are super easy to cut and they are clean too. 2. Always keep your accessories as little as possible. One adhesive, one cutter and different sized rulers (depending on the size of your model). 3. Half cuts are very useful in making small openings/doors. Use a pencil only if required. 4. Make sure you are always working with a sharp blade, blunt ones give a very rough texture and make the model look very shabby and unclean*

[@katieb5478]

i'm starting at architecture school soon so i'm on the hunt for any tips and tricks that will get me those extra few marks and save me time. your videos are incredibly helpful and i've learnt so much from them already. thank you!

[@170makes]

I've been making small things out of cardboard for about a year now and this video still blew my mind. Thank you.

[@Globerson]

The little dog of white glue on your cutting mat gave me heart palladium

[@tomphillips8565]

I admire your time and ability in cutting scratch building material rather than using a computer and laser cutter. I enjoy seeing one complete a model structure the old way.

[@Yokitheanimator]

From Llyan Austria to your channel. And I am not even an architect or an architect student. Love your video. 🥰

[@johnvukelic1602]

You positioned the knife first on the guideline and then brought the ruler in. Not the other way around. Less guessing and more accurate. Very good piece of advice! Syd Mead shows the same method when using a pen. I never thought to use this method with the knife as you show here. Thank you for sharing.

[@barrystott-brookes5883]

I don't know how I missed it before, but i've just signed up to the channels paid service! Totally worth it just for the content you put out every month already. Cheers Eric.

[@30by40]

I really appreciate your support Barry, you've been a loyal friend to me here...many thanks...!

[@JM_Architecture]

Haven’t seen it all the way through but looking at your track record, I know it’s gonna be a great video! One day I hope to get to where you are at with my own channel! Keep up the great work!

Great video Eric! Your production and cinematography is always through the roof. The content is top notch and thoughtfully presented. You’re a constant inspiration to me and those I teach. I recommend you to anyone looking to better their craft!

[@annabellear9387]

These modelling video clips are really inspiring. As an aspiring landscape designer and unable to afford a costly CAD system for 3D visuals, I am really interested in this aspect for helping me. Obviously I could outsource my CAD to a pro but I love this other angle of making things. Changes everything. And huge thanks to Eric R. no-one does this amount of help online for us designers/architects in the UK, really appreciate it all.

[@MrDynamic869]

Hey I love the video... Im a second year architecture student so these really help but I found that smudging the Elmers glue a bit helps it set faster while still having the option to move around and adjust parts

[@archishme9069]

13:06 instead of using knife and struggling with it can't we use a tape and remove that tape... While removing that tape the upper layer will come of easily... And also for some precautions.... Keep the ruler near the tape so we would not remove the excess of top layer.. Plz like if u like this idea...

[@annajanemcintyre8926]

So generous!!! thank you for sharing your passion and enthusiasm and fabulous pointers clearly stated

[@lubradoon]

Keep it up. I am a telecom engineer and working as an installation design engineer. Your models are very nice.

great hearing from you...always fascinated to see who's watching...

[@ProjectPlayDioramas]

So thankful I found this channel! I'm learning so much, having and using the right tools goes such a long way!

[@urtfools]

Acrylic adhesive, gorilla glue, and soldering all have their place too, but probably not in a study model :) nights turn to days turn to nights when you're so invested and excited about your model, ah to be in college again.

Thanks for reminding me to finally cut and start making the model

[@padstow2001]

Well KZbin recommendations, I’m not sure why I was recommended this but I watched it all and enjoyed it a lot 😅

[@lois3356]

Hey 30X40! I will skip the "great channel, I love it" part and just ask something. Model making techniques, the ones you show on your videos, can be challenging but they are easily achievable with practice. The technique itself I mean. What I find really challenging in model making is planning it it in advance and going from paper to physical. That's where I spend most of my time at, trying to figure out the best cuts and structure or how to transfer certain measures that are on technical drawings to a piece of board, specially when you are working with many different floors, how do you manage façade and plan (the joints, etc..). I would greatly appreciate if you could do one video about all those planning techniques, mostly on how to transfer measures efficiently to the materials used. Thank you so much! keep on the great work, I follow this channel since some years ago!

[@101mercenary]

Styrene is a fun material to use for model making. You can score it and snap it apart on that score. Pretty quick to put together as well with weld bond 3. Basically melts the plastic together were you bush on the weld bond and sets in a couple of seconds.

[@kram9850]

if only these videos where available when i went to architecture school, its so true you basically have to teach yourself, theyll give you a brief and some lectures and seminars but other than wood and metal working 101 and cnc and cad lab 1 day training that was it, your on your own to figure it out.

[@gingerbreadmen5401]

Some of these tips are really helpful, thank you!

[@christinecollins6648]

Just what I was looking to view!

[@glycerinfarmer]

Great tutorial! I wish I had this back in architecture school.

[@kasiasowka9702]

I’m here to get inspired coz in one week I have to submit my assignment with two models and several drawings, meanwhile working nearly everyday.. I need mental support 😭😭

[@asseenas_]

Learned more with hands on work, and model workflow, and cinematography and proper transition uses than school within this series

[@ModernMountainLiving]

I have had clients reveal to me at completion of the project they never could understand the 2D representation hanging on the wall during the project. While most can see just fine they have no vision. Your modeling is great. I now only do spec projects.

[@30by40]

So true...thanks for sharing... I'm headed down your path too (spec work only)...really liking it...

[@randyrice1429]

I am not an architecture student. I am a 72 year old woman who is planning to build my retirement home in the mountains. Well, hire it built. But I want to design it. I already own the property. Have been working on the floor plan for several years and just decided to build a model (something progressive to do during Covid lockdown). You have become my new best friend on You Tube. Thank you so much. I'm gaining new confidence that I can do this. Would like to know if you have ever designed an ICF home (insulated concrete form). Am planning this type of construction due to the prevalence of forest fire in the area where I am building (ICF is fire proof). Just curious.

Awesome sir .... Love from India

[@rr7firefly]

Even with the inserts on that rectangular window the overcuts still look messy. I sometimes laminate a sheet of thick paper (it comes in different colors!) over the wall piece with the cut out window. Then it helps to use an adhesive such as YES to avoid paper crimping.

[@Sir-Kay]

Why do you use those guitar strings though, what do they stand for? and what material was used for the glass again? the milky matt thing.

[@kmsocial5772]

Awesome as usual. What about the work table top.

[@juleneswart2224]

Thank you for this video 🙏🏻 Could you do a video regarding what architectural platforms one can listen to with regards to podcasts, discussions, audiobooks whilst designing? Just to stay informed, educated and possibly motivated?

IIm currently in Design 1 and we're having to build models using foam as the inside and now we're building the outside and we have to tie it in....do you have a video on that

[@DavidFerguson62]

Another great video. Have you ever used a small paint brush to apply the white glue? It works well and can eliminate waste by putting the glue only where you need it. Thanks again.

[@Shyknit]

Thanks for the video and I agree the regular xacto knife handle does cause cramps so I switched to the ergo kiwi handle it's expensive but nice and way more comfortable.

[@icommentrandomstuff]

Wow, I've been using most of the techniques in this video since I'm 8 years old... I used to build a building or house model out of cardboard... My father's hobby is like this... ang yes now I'm 18 Still like making this kind of stuff when I'm bored... sorry for bad english l...

[@Tamshea88]

So much of the process to designing a building seems artistic. I've been CAD designing for almost 2 years, and my boss usually keeps me focused on structural designing. (Roof/floor framing, sections, etc.) I'm usually spending 95% if my time looking at the screen and I'm trying to break out of that mindset to explore the artistic side of things for some inspiration on my personal projects. Any suggestions for exercises, methods, etc. to keep that inspiration going?

[@juanpabloparedeszaracho2144]

Turn off the screen and make something with your hands ( in your spare time I mean) it doesn't have to be architecture, it just help to develop a mindset, to practice your concept creation, then input that concept creation in the design process of your work.

[@lululuar]

a structural model could be amazing...

[@mihirchikodikar9960]

How can we make we make trees....at a smallest scale like 1:500...for a layout model?

Amazing! Question is Balsa wood great to use?

[@30by40]

Balsa is almost as good as Basswood...the grain is a bit more open and so it tends to splinter more readily...but it's (usually) less expensive than Basswood...good luck!

And by the way great video always appreciate your work you are great 👍.
