Building a 1/64 scale Japan-inspired Street Scene Diorama

[@stephenwhite347]

Really enjoying your videos. Great work. All the little details definitely make the scenes come alive. Feeling inspired here, thank you.

[@mrltnj]

@stephenwhite347 you just made my day! plenty more coming. Thank you.

[@MRNYCALIVE]

Love the work. It's really good. Can you tell me where you get the foam board from? I want to try to make something similar.

[@mrltnj]

@MRNYCALIVE Hi! Thank you for the kind words. I just order mine online thru shopping platforms. Craft stores should have them though. I use 1.5mm and 3mm thick ones.

😍🔥🔥🔥 awesome

[@EsseaMusic]

Loving seeing your work, I was wondering about the shop displays, are they photos that are cropped to the correct scale?

[@mrltnj]

@EsseaMusic hello! Yes they are rescaled photos to try and emulate 1/64 scale 🙂

❤ Hello friend, Congratulations! What material is this that you use for the walls?

[@mrltnj]

@rockgamesnoar hello and thank you for watching! The material is called foam core board :)

[@krujamesyrcchannal9879]

I like all your videos. Hope you can recommend some equipment. To be able to do this, that would be great, thank you.

[@mrltnj]

@krujamesyrcchannal9879 Hi! Glad you like my videos. For materials, I mostly use foam core boards in various thickness, acrylic paints, acetate film for the windows. For equipment, cutting mat, a good hobby knife and box cutter, metal ruler, pencil, pen and a couple of paint brushes. Hope this helps. Cheers!

amazing work bro! hope u can share the bluemap or every size u use to build that

[@mrltnj]

@kisnaknugroho1801 thank you! i really dont use a bluemap or blueprint as I make these as I go with the projects. Will try to include measurements in the future videos :)

[@kisnaknugroho1801]

​@@mrltnj😂 it's okay bro, yeah maybe in the next project you will include the blueprint or something like measurements

[@PJMCollectibles]

really enjoyed watching your videos and your amazing diorama creations. i am just wondering what is the orange “thing” that you use to “scribe” the foam board?

[@mrltnj]

@PJMCollectibles hello! Glad you enjoyed the videos and thank you for watching. The orange tool is just a mechanical pencil, the scribing was done using the cutter. 🙂

[@agentebond8782]

How did you decide on the various heights and widths?

[@mrltnj]

@agentebond8782 Hi! I used the cars and human figures to decide on the measurements of the structures (make sure to use true 64 scale cars). I drew sketches on paper first until i'm satisfied with the way it looks before I use foam core boards.

[@agentebond8782]

@@mrltnj oh really thanks, great point. in your opinion which brands are real 1/64

[@mrltnj]

@agentebond8782 Kyosho, HobbyJapan, Inno64, and MiniGT are good examples. I find Focal Horizon and Street Weapon very appealing too especially those GT-Rs, Stageas and RWB Porsches, if you're into those cars.

​@@mrltnjthank you!!! Good work, I Hope one day I Will can something 😊😊😊

[@liv2grind409]

Does that foam you use feel like it has paper on the surface? Just curious cause I saw some foam boards , but they feel like they have a layer of paper on top and foam in the inside.

[@mrltnj]

@liv2grind409 yes, that’s exactly it 🙂

[@liv2grind409]

@@mrltnj cool thanks, how do you get the measurements for the scale of the cars? I'm not good and measurements to get the right scale for hot wheels.

[@mrltnj]

@liv2grind409 I use the cars as a reference during the planning and designing phase. Then I adjust the measurements as I build it when something feels too wide, tall, etc. Hotwheels are a bit of a challenge to use for measuring since the cars are not exactly 1/64. 🙂

[@therealniiabossey]

Where do you buy the card board you use

[@mrltnj]

@therealniiabossey craft shops and printing shops carry foam boards :)

[@saifulbahri-ys4kp]

Om rekomendasi untuk beli PVC nya di toko apa.

[@mrltnj]

@saifulbahri-ys4kp Hello! I just order mine from online shopping platforms. Just make sure you get the sturdier ones 🙂

[@uripsucipto8737]

Om, untuk sticker2 yg mini bisadidapat di mana, trims

[@mrltnj]

@uripsucipto8737 most of it I got from google and just resized during printing. Some are made by me.

[@canalberna]

where can you find those things to print?

[@mrltnj]

@canalberna I get most from Google. Whenever I can't find what I need, I create them using Photoshop :)

[@canalberna]

@@mrltnj ok, thanks It must that I don't know how to search for those

[@NgocTuanPham-sb9zg]

Please provide the decal file. Thank you so much!

[@mrltnj]

@NgocTuanPham-sb9zg Hi! Unfortunately, the only files I keep after the builds are the raw video files. So sorry for this.

[@NgocTuanPham-sb9zg]

@@mrltnj Ok. Thank you!

[@GuilhermeKauã-r3i]

Quais são os materiais??

[@mrltnj]

@user-ew8uj3iv2j foam core board, clear acrylic sheets, a cup sleeve for the roof, acrylic paints :)

[@ZainPlays]

I just had a random thought , why not make a scene of GTA Vice City place ? Specially the place where the game begins

[@mrltnj]

@ZainPlays great idea, I'll look into that :)
