Building a Resident Evil Diorama / Micro Layout [Looking Glass House & Racoon City Hospital]

[@thra-x1855]

the first movie is still the best, and this diorama has got to be the best homage to it that ive ever seen.

[@NScaleDystopia]

Thanks - and I agree! Resident Evil will forever remain THE classic.

[@realwildman]

I just found your channel, I am drooling at your talant. I fear I have lots more to catch up on.

[@NScaleDystopia]

Many thanks! (Don't take me too seriously - I'm just having fun!)

[@ZaneMorganCrafts]

I’m not crying, I have happiness in my eyes. This was hands down my favorite project of yours to date. Incredibly awesome my friend. Thank you for making this.

[@NScaleDystopia]

You remain one of my favorite people. Thank you!

[@cpwhiskycreek]

Incredible work, though I may have nightmares tonight lol

[@NScaleDystopia]

Nightmares? My job here is done! (Thanks)

[@AbandonedMiniatures]

Incredible as always! I love just how much is included in this. The underground train tunnels add so much to it.

[@NScaleDystopia]

Thanks! The tunnels were the most fun.

[@robertevans3173]

Wow! Nice work Foam Fam!

[@NScaleDystopia]

Foam Fam Crew!

[@RetroRoboland]

The sheer number of steps and the level of thought that went into this. Incredible. Favourite moment. You have the building sitting on paper towel. Then wham douse it in wash in one brush stroke and it all beads off. Only remaining question. Now what?

[@NScaleDystopia]

Now what? As always, the next thing is next!

Absolutly fantatic. A ton of content in 24 min. Fabulous.

[@NScaleDystopia]

Thank you very much. I had no idea the video was going to be that long!

[@MMRails]

Speechless. I don’t usually watch videos from start to finish but I never FF yours. The music, the editing, the details, it’s all done so well.

[@TheyMakeItLikeThat]

Good to know you FF mine 😜

[@MMRails]

@@TheyMakeItLikeThat Haha. I only skip over the parts where you go on about how N scale is better than HO 😉

[@TheyMakeItLikeThat]

@@MMRails That’s the whole video!

[@TheOriginalBadger]

You, sir, are a genius! Master model maker extraordinaire!! A Happy New Year to you, too .... and that was worth the wait!

[@NScaleDystopia]

Thanks, you too!

[@ChickensTabletopCrafting]

I can't tell you how excited I was for this video. But I can tell you that the wait was more than worth it. This is INCREDIBLY GOOD. Great details. A lot of effort and the gloomy atmosphere makes the hair stand on the back of your neck. This is BIG CINEMA. I absolutely love it.

[@NScaleDystopia]

Thank you so Chicken! Looking forward to your next project as well. All the best my friend!

[@BriansModelTrains]

Absolutely incredible!!!

Incredible! Simply Incredible! The wait was long, but worth it!

[@NScaleDystopia]

Thank you Roy!

[@Giantkiller130-t]

As a fellow artist (I do fiber arts, like knitting and crochet), it's so fascinating to see the process behind other art forms, and in general. It really helps me put into perspective the idea that skills like this take so many different talents coming together. In short, this is amazing. I'm also surprised at the amount of subs--I genuinely thought this was a bigger channel!

[@NScaleDystopia]

I appreciate the thoughtful comment. For a short while I tried my had at creating amigurumi - Cthulhu and the undead etc. - as I am fascinated with many different disciplines. As for the subs... they will come... I guess? lol

[@narrowgaugeshop]

Excellent work! I learned a lot. I'm always inspired by your videos.

[@NScaleDystopia]

Thank you!

I saw this build on your Instagram! Phenomenal work as always, and very very accurate to the Prototype-- that being Resident Evil! I wonder of you'll incorporate this diorama into the Dystopia somehow, but regardless, this mini-project of yours is fantastic!

[@NScaleDystopia]

Thanks. Honestly... I need a bigger layout... (working on ideas!)

[@cyanur6791]

Magnifique !!!

[@colonelfailure]

Magnificent. You building dioramas as a break from the main project, or simply to try new things while waiting for inspiration to strike?

[@NScaleDystopia]

All of the above. I promised myself when I started this channel and rediscovering my hobbies that I would always prioritize what I wanted to do over what I think I should do. That said, each of these little dioramas give me an opportunity to try out some ideas or techniques that will be of value later down the build process. Fun first, project second!

[@tonyromano6220]

What a mind.

[@Alien_isolationist]

Needs more cars and mkre wreckage outside the hospital to match the scene but bravo youre very talented

[@dawidsoon]

what is that red tool in 11:26 how You call that and where to get it?

[@NScaleDystopia]

It's an aluminum alloy triangle ruler. I bought in on Amazon. Thanks!

[@SorrelDog]

Probably already asked, but why an FDM printer and not a photopolymer printer?🤔

[@NScaleDystopia]

I simply haven't committed to resin yet. When I purchased my FDM, there were long lead times for resin printers, and I wasn't aware that there was water-based polymers available. Ventilation was an issue at the time so FDM was a easier and safer choice. Things have progressed in the last 18 months so its only a matter of time before I upgrade.

[@SorrelDog]

@@NScaleDystopia I will look forward to this moment! Your work is incredible! And it seems to me that with the advent of new technologies, they will become unattainably realistic 😁
