Outstanding! I am saving this video for future reference. Not that I can even come close to doing what you did. .. maybe I can get in the neighborhood.

[@ruxdi]

Greetings from Malta, you got it spot on, the camouflage, the farm with "remissa" door, the camo helmet, splendid job

[@CWModelling]

Cool, thanks👍

[@edhorst7212]

Great work again on full diorama.. Camouflage worked well blending against wall.. like how you use backyard garden dirt, twigs, herbs to tie everything’s together..👍👍✌️

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Staggeringly beautiful work. From the tank, to the figures and finally the base. Wonderful work all round. One to be proud of

[@alanmoffat4454]

YES U GOT ME WELL DONE

[@anthonyfursey5505]

Sensational,the camo on the tank is mindblowing

[@la-27customdioramas59]

Incredible painting. Nice realism.

[@Phil-pf1cx]

that camo actually works.. great build 👍

[@chrispacer4231]

You really pump them out... I always enjoy your work... I think you have a better choice of kits where you live... The camouflage pattern on the VALENTINE TANK really pleaded in with the surrounding well... I’ll keep watching... another great job CHRIS from OHIO

[@chrispacer4231]

BLENDED IN WELL !!!!!!!!!

[@patrickjoyce5262]

One of the best Diorama's I've seen for a while, complete work of art. Well done.

[@thomasappleby2332]

Hi many thanks l started watching your barn build and the size was in that video l have just moved to 1/35 scale as used to make RC boat kits and your videos have given me some great ideas keep it up many thanks

[@apachethemodeller9466]

That camouflage looks really cool. I think it's worth the effort👍

[@joramamodellbau3987]

A completely good job. Very impressive. Very nice implementation of the camouflage pattern on the Valentine. Good figure painting and a great scene design. Greetings, Joachim

[@captainramius5047]

What the fox !! I missed this one Hands ❤

[@rfod-nu1ch]

Cool Diorama and video, I’ll learn a lot of you, thanks in advance.😀

[@BlackRifleModelWorx]

Love this and all your work, I have wanted to do a Malta diorama for a while and this has given me the push I needed to get started, great work as always 👍

[@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling]

Stunning work as always Ian! I have also a Malta project in my mind, using the Light Tank Mark VI C by Vulcan. It has the same funky camo as your Valentine tank and your procedure certainly helped me a lot to figure out how i could achieve it. I am also happy to see you use some stuff by DioramaPresepe as well, it is ideal for such mediterranean scenes.

[@CWModelling]

Cheers Michael........ouch, I hated the tracks and suspension on the Vulcan models kit I built but it turns out nice in the end, looking forward to seeing it....and painting the camo drove me nuts🤪

[@panzer-meister]

What a beautiful diorama. Thanks for sharing.

[@marcomerz3585]

Sehr schöne Arbeit 👍

[@josecesar5952]

Enjoyed watching!

[@Barbarossamodels]

Very nice Ian, high standard as always!😊 The patience to paint the lines on the Valentine, and the work with the foam for the buildings is excellent. Loving all the touches of vegetation too, tree looks fantastic! Nice little scene with the figures too - well done! 👏👏

[@neilmackay7475]

Beautiful work as usual Ian take care my friend 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️

[@hamm6035]

That is excellent work. So effortless in creating what's in your mind.

[@bobt3374]

Excellent Diorama`s 👍

[@BAST_master_MODELS_]

Great looking Dio! Perfect job!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Damn, that was one tedious paint job but great work! The base/landscaping was spot on and everything looks excellent! Enjoyed watching 👍

[@HalidonDioramas]

Great work, that camo came out fantastic, must have nearly sent you blind 😀

[@andrewshawmodels8610]

Fantastic! 👏👏👏 Always pleasure to watch you work - inspiring, educational and relaxing at the same time - it doesn't get much better than that. I love the Malta camo - I have an Austin Tilly in mind to try it out. Not as ambitious as the Valentine! I bet it worked a treat, especially parked up in front of a stone wall. Great stuff. Cheers. 👍

[@donfoley7667]

Absolutely stunning piece of work. My only critism is the fact that there is no commentary or subtitles to tell us what your using, tools, materials etc., i.e., commentary that might help us less talanted to achieve similar results.

[@Scale-Model]

Great Diorama ❤️🌳🌲❤️

[@teeroo5519]

Great video and good job on hand painted camo.

[@willfont1143]

Top notch! Thanks.

[@baer1204]

Top Job !!!!!! 👍👍👍👍😎

[@amilcarmoncada1801]

Otra gran muestra de su arte en la realizacion de tan realistas dioramas, sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial, resultado asombroso logrado en este tema denominado Boleto de ida a Malta, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela.💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

You never fail to entertain. Your dios are always so creative! Also, how do you manage to get your hand painted lines so straight, it’s amazing

[@jostscalemodelling]

Your Valentine Mk.V with the elaborate camouflage pattern turned out very well. Also the figures and the house with the tree in the yard look very good. Maybe you could have repositioned some soldiers (the soldier who cooks at the entrance). I think the music is a little melancholy - but the video is still great! Thank you for sharing the video. Greetings, John

[@marksimkiw923]

Good job as usual

[@RadnothyG]

Incredible as always! I would never have the balls to try such a camouflage, yet you pull it off with ease. Pure talent that's what it is! :D What kind of glue do you use to fix the branches on the tree? Greetings from Hungary.

[@CWModelling]

Thanks......Superglue👍

[@nickhill941]

Do you make your own foliage and grass etc or buy it?

[@CWModelling]

Products are mentioned in the description below the video👍

[@user-mt7ip7hz8x]

Hello. What material are brick walls made of?

[@CWModelling]

Details in the description below the video👍

[@belfastchild76]

Excellent piece. Can I ask what glue you used to fix the foilage to the tree as it seemed to work instantly. Thsnks

[@CWModelling]

Thanks......Superglue👍

[@belfastchild76]

@@CWModelling sorry, I should've asked which brand. I can never get any to 'grab' so fast. Also, do you dilute your PVA glue before applying the static grasses.

[@CWModelling]

Haha, some of those twigs took 4/5 attempts to hold 'first' time for the camera....its just cheap CA from the DIY store......yup, the PVA is diluted 👍

[@belfastchild76]

@@CWModelling thank you

[@Fireghost68]

Wonderful ! I'm using air dry clay too but everytime it cracks.. any idea why ?

[@CWModelling]

Thanks.....sorry, no idea, its never happened to me👍

[@user-mt7ip7hz8x]

what glue to glue the flock?

[@CWModelling]

PVA

КЛАСС!!!

[@nickjones3886]

How do you work out the scale for the buildings I'm hoping to give it a try very soon

[@CWModelling]

I just use a figure and judge a scale in relation👍

[@thomasappleby2332]

Hi what thickness is your XP’s you get great detail

[@CWModelling]

Thanks, its 10mm thick👍

The original layout didn’t have the German flyer, did it? I thought they were all British foot soldiers...
