Building the Master Box 1/35 Scale Camel Rider & Solider Diorama!

[@brunocalico]

So straight forward, but very impressive. Good job, I like it a lot.

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks for watching!

[@thearmoredgeorgian2736]

I remember I bought the Stuart because you were doing a group build with it. Great mini diorama, I look forward to future videos!

[@ModelMinutes]

Awesome! Thanks for watching :D

[@valborchardt3596]

Very nice Matt, give you a pat on the back, well done.

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks! Will do!

[@danielbritton8588]

Bravo. A date tree would be awesome with that. But, it is super as it is. Good job. Without reading anything, I thought it was resin.

[@ModelMinutes]

That's a great idea! Thanks :D

[@StephenFarthing]

I really enjoy your work. A small point. Camel saddles sometimes don’t meet in the middle but are two wooden parts , held together with leather straps. The straps allow adjustment for different shaped camels. On top is usually a leather cushion to make it comfortable for the rider. But from the front you can often see the gap. Not that I’m bothered. What I really like about your videos is that you show that it’s possible for to get good results for little money.

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks for the info!

[@lesthiele4921]

That was excellent sir, well done, you must be very pleased with the way it turns out, bext regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.

[@ModelMinutes]

Many thanks! It did stretch me at times but I am pleased with the final results - I can already see some areas for improvement for next time :)

[@bossogg6915]

Well done Matt, I enjoyed the video. Nice to see it wasn't a plane lol.

[@ModelMinutes]

Haha! Yeah, it's good to branch out :)

[@Aardvark-dk]

A work of art my friend ! A great inspiration, as I will have a go on a dio my self :)

[@ModelMinutes]

Go for it!

[@Aardvark-dk]

@@ModelMinutes Well, I will have to paint a ruined building, and I don't think my skills are there yet...

[@ModelMinutes]

@@Aardvark-dk I’m sure you’ll get there 😊

[@seanstar69]

You smashed that buddy. It's a lovely part of modelling to look at,and I whole heartedly think you should do some more. Also its a fresh look to your channel. 👌

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks, will do! I might look for some more figures in the future :D

[@damien5748]

@@ModelMinutes Hi Mat...what would be the best way to remove decals?...i really dont want to scrape them off and ruin the paint job...i have a rusdian Mig- 23 and want to change it to an Iranian example to depict 1 of the several former Iraqi Airforce machines that fled to Iran and were then pressed into service with the Iranian Airforce when desert storm kicked off. Thanks.👍

[@ModelMinutes]

@@damien5748 sadly the methods I know of which will remove the decals (ipa, spirits) will also possibly remove the paint underneath. Especially difficult if the decals have been sealed in with some varnish

[@damien5748]

@@ModelMinutes hi Mat.thanks for the reply...i suppose i could gently scrape them off and do a little touch up...shouldnt be too hard as they are not sealed with varnish and its an academy kit so the decals arent the best anyway👍👍.

[@damien5748]

@@ModelMinutes got it sorted Mat...scrapped them off using my finger nail...each decal came off in 1 piece and no damage done to the paint job....happy days.

[@docbrown_88]

Well you made that look easy, what a great result!

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks very much :D

[@andygorman858]

Cracking job on the figures and camel! The base really sets the vignette off nicely. Another great vid and bud,d to add to your impressive collection.

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks very much 😊

[@josephelsdon9886]

The result is stunning! Would love to see more

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks! I'll have to see about getting some more figures

[@wadejustanamerican1201]

Excellent build!

[@ModelMinutes]

Glad you think so! Thanks :D

This is fantastic

Thanks!

[@lappin6482]

awesome work mate....makes me want to try figures too!

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks! You should give them a go! I think i was always reluctant to try them, but having done these it didn't seem as bad or difficult as I always thought it would be

[@damien5748]

@@ModelMinutes looks great as usual Mat...i need help /advice with sanding....what grade of sand paper should i start with and going down the various grades what should i use and what grade should i finish with?. Any help /advice would be much appreciated.thanl you.👍👍👍

@@ModelMinutes you should be happy with it Mat...it looks FANTASTIC.a great result.👍👍👍👍

@@damien5748 thanks so much 😊

[@ModelMinutes]

@@damien5748 I have a multi pack of different grades, I can’t remember the numbers but I started with a rough one and then go down to one which leaves it feeling smooth

[@Rusty_Gold85]

That would be cool next to a Ghan Train layout in the Australian Outback

[@ModelMinutes]

cool idea!

[@julianmhall]

Great job Matt! Nice to see the variation.. same techniques though of course :) TBH I think the uniform is a /little/ dark as troops in the Western Desert wore sand coloured uniforms not khaki, closer to the colour you did the camel..

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks for the info!

[@MsModeller]

SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY you did such a good job! 💜💜

[@ModelMinutes]

Haha thanks!

[@Rusty_Gold85]

Have you tried Green stuff for filling large gaps. Also recomend Vallejo White primer. It has 2 nozzles and the Fine nozzle is perfect

[@ModelMinutes]

i've seen that but not yet had a chance to get some or try it out - i'll keep an eye for those rattle cans too :

[@modelkitboi3925]

Was not expecting this build from you (because your usual is aircraft) Looks amazing and hopefully we can see more of this stuff!😀👌

[@ModelMinutes]

thanks! Maybe I'll do some more in the future

[@Ducknuck84]

great job especially on the skin zenithal really does help on getting those highlights and shadows picked out. one thing you could also try with skin after the zenithal doing a under coat of a dark red then going with the skin colors to simulate the kind of red/pinkyness you see in skin. Doctor Faust has a couple of good vids on it that break down the process

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks for the tip! Might have to look into that

[@melmoore6885]

Not a bad job at all Matt, who say's first timers can't get it right? Looking at the camel rider, he bears a strong resemblance to T. E Lawrence, that alone ad's more possibilities to what's a cool little kit.

[@ModelMinutes]

Thanks! Yes, I think the designer of the figures definitely took inspiration there lol

[@sara01havefun]
