Completing The Mk. IV Trench Diorama - Easy Figure Painting

[@chrispacer4231]

First time seeing this 22 May 2023… This was good, I enjoyed watching this… I did a 1/76 DIORAMA with the AIRFIX British tank and GERMAN INFANTRY from a old VINTAGE AURORA Anzio Beach play set from 1970… YOU DID A GREAT JOB

[@mattockmodels]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@dioramadevil]

Great terrain and overall look... 🤟😀

[@mattockmodels]

Thank you very much sir!

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

Really outstanding, your patience and attention to detail really pay off.

[@mattockmodels]

Thank you so much!

[@Eekhorn]

Mattock! I missed you! You make my weekend when I can sit down with a cup of coffee ar breakfast and watch one of your videos! 😄 - Great dio! It's time I pick up where I left with my Meng's Mark IV. But interior takes so much time 🙈

[@mattockmodels]

Well it's and honor to be missed! Thank you so much for watching, it was a lot of work but i think it paid off.

[@philRminiatures]

Very atmospheric, impressive attention to details, top notch weathering and mud effect....👍👍

[@PlastikDream]

Fantastic ! Merci !

[@mattockmodels]

Thanks!

[@paulbeckett7517]

Very nice! You made it look so easy. Thank you for showing us how you made the puddle, it's a great idea.

[@rons5438]

Great work! The whole series was well done, fun to watch and inspiring.

[@mattockmodels]

Thanks Ron! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.

I'm still trying to master my figure painting and have been trying glazes but not been totally happy with the results. I am going to try this on my current set of figures for sure

[@mattockmodels]

Yeah, for whatever reason, I wasn't seeing the results I was hoping for with glazing. Hope this works out for you!

[@cerisekappes580]

The diorama looks incredible!!! 😊

[@mattockmodels]

Thank you so much!

[@cerisekappes580]

@@mattockmodels you are welcome 🤗

[@robbo1068]

Impressive work, excellent diorama....really love the figures in action poses, very realistic and fitting well with the tank and trench. I've been wanting to build a WW1 trench dio for a while and have similar figures and a Whippet so your work has inspired me to get going so thanks for that.

[@mattockmodels]

Your welcome, thanks for watching!

[@johntreloar8203]

Looks great, nice work.

[@andredrahonnet7592]

C est très beau ,bravo

[@mattockmodels]

Merci beaucoup

[@ModeliteDiorama]

Great Diorama, I love it!

[@davidorf3921]

Very nice, one minor point, WW1 British webbing was less likely to be brown and more likely to be a green due to the blanco (no's 97 or 103) used when cleaning it, only authorised cleaning methods could be used, brand new webbing was a more natural yellowy tan shade but that would only be until the first time it was cleaned, The officer however would likely have worn a brown leather Sam Browne belt and supporting strap (over right shoulder)

[@mattockmodels]

Very cool! I'm always not painting uniforms the right color 🤣 I'm relatively new figure painting and tend to just tray and match the box. Very cool insight that I will have to keep in mind for next time.

[@Joe-n4e8e]

Great looking diorama! Very creative and realistic. I wish I had a quarter of your talent and I'd be at least " decent "

[@mattockmodels]

Your too kind. It's all just meant to be fun! Thanks so much for watching.

[@StephenLyons-tl8ie]

Great stuff!!

[@joetowsey2898]

Excellent.

[@iangreen4572]

A wire brush is a handy tool for making wood grain

[@mattockmodels]

Good call. I keep meaning to pick one up.

[@kwokkeungfung2923]

[@MiniArtmy]

Nice one 🎉 For the trench it’s globally what I should have to do on my diorama (you can see it on my channel): more variants of woods and not a pre build plastic one. I think I will make it again in the future. Again good job!

[@mattockmodels]

I contemplated using the supplied kit trench but I agree there wasn't enough variation. Yours still looks great though. Awesome job

[@MiniArtmy]

@@mattockmodels thanks 😊

[@21EpicFail]

Hey man just found your content and absolutely love it! You do a great job on your work. One critique I will suggest is that your videos are too short! Some of us love to have longer videos to watch in the background while modelling ourselves. Please don't be afraid to make a few (not every video) 20+ minutes... again great work brother and thank you for making the content you do. Cheers

[@mattockmodels]

Thanks for the input! It's always great to hear what people like and want to see. Thanks so much for watching!

[@scaleartsg]

interesting reverse glazing method!

[@mattockmodels]

Definitely more of a happy accident! 🤣But I think I've at least perfected my failure to glaze properly.
