EPIC Witcher Diorama - With Lights & Fog!

[@ashjefferson5808]

just wanted to comment that I got really inspired by this video and decided to make a Geralt and roach diorama of the meme where Roach is on a roof for some reason and I'm using your models thanks for the inspiration and the models!

[@vinberube136]

The number of different skills used in this video is impressive! That woodworking jig you nearly skipped over, impressive 3d modelling etc.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks! It feels like the majority of this project was spent doing things that weren't directly related to the diorama haha. But I love learning new skills so this is the perfect hobby for me 😊

[@Stevoo4552]

Sweeet Hobby, You are sooooo Skilled!! and your Videos are also already reeally Professional Deffinetly gonna Binge you channel while painting Minis and feeling bad for not building and sculpting by everything by myself :D

The Witcher 3 is truly the best ever made. I play it regularly since 2015. It's actually better now than back then. Looks stunning.

[@Geordiecrafts]

I agree 100% it was always beautiful but now it's on another level!

AMAZING. It is really unbelievable to see that you did everything from starting to the end. Building the wooden box; 3D modelling the characters; crafting each item for the terrain; assembling; painting; LED wiring... Bravo. Definitely looking forward for next.

[@Karlmakesstuff]

Fantastic work! Blown away by all the different skills that went into making this, and it's beautifully put together. Looking forward to the pine tree tutorial :)

Thanks so much! The tree tutorial shouldn't take me too long to make so stay tuned :)

Nice. I think the fog is one step more and gives some mystery to the diorama. Good work.

I love merging woodworking to my own mini painting hobby. What you accomplished with hand tools in less than ideal conditions is super freaking impressive. Great diorama. Beautiful work!

Woah. Really impressive. Love how the fog stays in there with the glass door! Excited to see what you come up with next!

[@sonoftarg3793]

OK, this is fantastic. besides the story the mood of the diorama is chilling. and you made not one, not two trees, you created a whole wood in this little frame. ambition meets patience meets skill meets taste. thank you.

[@MiniQuest64]

A new video from Geordie Crafts, so what do we have here?... My favorite video game (best of all time), design sketches, digital sculpting, 3d printing, wood working, terrain building, gadgets like fog, electric circuits, led's and soldering, sculpting with milliput, painting miniatures, trees from scratch, airbrushing, static grass and flocks, epoxy resin and water effects, and everything is combined into one video with editing skills like a professional. I think you knocked it out of the park, like 10/10 and your best video so far. (It doesn't seem like there exists a craftsmanship you aren't able to pull of too, Impressive!) Totally awesome, very entertaining, please continue!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much all the kind words. This is actually the perfect hobby for me because I LOVE learning new things, but I lose focus if I stick to one thing for too long. This hobby allows me to flip between the different aspects and keep things fresh without burning out :D

[@patientzeropoint5271]

That was really good. Better than any official merchandise I've seen. These would fly out the door if you had any way to mass produce them. But I guess the uniqueness of this one is what makes it special. Nice video, really enjoyed that.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! II'm glad you enjoyed it :) Yeah considering this took about 200 hours I don't think it's possible to mass produce :p. It would probably take half that if I didn't make any mistakes or need to do unrelated things like restore an old hand plane or design/print/assemble a shooing board haha, but still a lot of time investment.

[@Robert-bm2jr]

[@owliciousmuffin2906]

Awesome. I love how you combine technical elements in your dioramas. Most traditional builders would probably paint the light effects instead of using LEDs. For someone who owns so many technical and woodworking tools it was quite surprising that you lack a hot wire cutter. If I am allowed to critique you I would suggest you improve the stones and ground texture in your next projects. Personally I am a fan of combining foam and charcoal/bark for detailed rocks, but I am sure you can work out your preferred method by learning from the great terrain building channels you linked. Another point is the uniform gras length/colour, although without electrostatic grass it is hard to create grass tufts and patches. For more colour variety of the gras and leaves an cheap airbrush comes in handy to mist the finished tree crowns to add some colour variance or smooth in the differences if you used multicoloured leaves. I will await your next great project!

[@Geordiecrafts]

haha I'm nowhere near good enough at painting to tackle light effects with paint. I only got into this hobby 2 years ago so, although my skills are improving over time, I certainly still have a long way to go! And because I'm learning SO many skills all at once, I can only give each one so much attention (this is great for me though, it prevents me from getting burnt out on learning one skill). As for the hot wire cutter, I only started working with foam a couple months ago and I can never seem to justify buying one. I always have other, more crucial, crafting supplies and tools to buy within my budget. The hot wire cutter seems to be more a convenience thing than anything else. I can still cut foam without it (although my life would be a lot easier with one :p) I've never seen anyone use that foam/charcoal/bark method, I would love to learn more about it! I've stuck with clay and modeling compound thus far because I really like using the leopard spot technique for painting rocks and cliffs. It requires very little skill and yields pretty good results. But I'm always open to learning new techniques! Do you have a good video recommendation for it? In the case of the grass, I actually have a static grass applicator and 11 different lengths and colors of grass. In this case it was a creative decision to go for a mossy, earthy detritus look. I tried putting some of my gamers grass tufts in here but they just didn't suit the look of a debris-filled, mossy, forest floor I was going for. Maybe I just need to improve my application to get better results. That's a great idea about adding some highlights and variation to the trees with the airbrush, I think that would add a great level of additional detail!

[@owliciousmuffin2906]

@@Geordiecrafts Here is the tutorial about bark rocks from the terrain tutor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYDcZqynmNmtsKM I think he never did one on coal, but it is the same idea instead of bark you use coal pieces with good looking texture. Depending on your location charcoal might be far easier to get than something liek cork bark.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu2fWOKpKaGpdU this viedo shows a few dioramas created by Reinhard Fritschka with foam topped of with coal. www.kirnbachtaeler.de/modell/sinsheim/2016/10kf.html here is a site that has at least one picture of a build in progress.
