Can I Create an Epic Medieval Building Diorama from Scrap Materials!

[@Marauder99991]

As someone living in the Midwest US I can tell these folks don't live in a tornado zone. Heh. Gorgeous build!

[@dodgydioramas]

Ha, ha. I'm thinking somewhere like Ankh-Morpork

[@tomtruesdale6901]

@@dodgydioramas LOL I love the reference to Disk World and you are right, it would be perfect there.

Doesn't surprise me, KZbin often fails to notify people a video is out.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Looks like a gravity defining building if I have ever seen one. Great job on the diorama. Very well done.

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, I don't think it would pass modern-day building regs.

Impressive build!

[@2CraftySeniors]

Wow. The end result is gorgeous! The process was fascinating to watch. I love that you used scraps and leftovers for the whole project. I truly enjoyed everything. Thank you. I'm not a dioramist, but make cards, journals and folios (mostly). I use Aileens Tacky Glue as well and find it the best for my projects. I've used other, much more expensive, "tacky" glues that either work just the same or aren't nearly as good as my Aileens, so I'll just keep using this. ❤

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you. It's good to know I accidentally picked up the right Tacky Glue, I'm just about to order some more

[@theQiwiMan]

Beautiful work! Great job keeping a nice sense of scale too, awesomely done!

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you

To speed up the curing of gorilla glue there are two things I know work. Get it good and warm for one. Like bath-water, not tea. The other way (can be used with #1) is, after you have applied the glue, spread it with a wet brush. Silicone wood-glue brush for this unless you have a bunch of ratty brushes you don't want to keep. Important thing is to mix the water into the APPLIED glue, not the glue in the bottle. This is because Gorilla (urethane) is water-activated. Atmospheric humidity is slow.

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, that's really useful 👍

[@KAndreasL]

Really nice!

[@sarahlongshore2605]

Watching blue scraps of foam turn into this is amazing!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you

[@JackShaw-zs1rb]

Fantastic video! Always got excited to see you've done a new video. Excited for the next! Any sneak peeks on the plans?

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, the next will be something very quick I've been asked to make but after that something scary

[@robinaroundtown...2194]

Way too cool 😎... Would kinda scare me to live in it... But definitely a "Monty Python" sort of feel... "I SAY THERE"...lolol 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, I grew up on Monty Python

Amazing job. Great effect!

Yes! I wonder if the burrow was in the back of my head when building it?

DIY hot wire cutter? I couldn’t find it in your tools list in a previous video. Thanks. Laurie. NZ.

[@dodgydioramas]

It's made by a one man operation in the UK. I got it as it was the cheapest I could find, and it works okay ish, but I really would want the Proxon version as being able to change the angle of the wire would be so useful

[@rodgeratkin]

maybe that I can't see it but you do not appear to earth your static grass applicator to the board, you have it in your hand. Maybe that's why the cheap one didn't work, my cheap one did and gave a real kick when I accidentally touched it.

[@dodgydioramas]

I did earth the cheap one in multiple ways, but nothing worked. The expensive one instantly worked no matter where I put the earth.
