Thank you VASCOron!

[@miksstudio]

Awesome work, here via Boylei Hobby Time's channel, subbed and liked.

[@vascotoys]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you coming over and subscribing.

[@JessiFayS]

Same. Here by recommendation of Boylei Hobby Time

[@vascotoys]

@@JessiFayS thanks for taking the time to come over and check out my channel.

[@brennanbarnes7628]

Really appreciate these tutorials

[@vascotoys]

Thank you so much for the Super Thanks Brennan!

[@lionsbrush]

All I can say is WOW! I never saw that someone can make that anime look in real life. You gave me some good ideas for my channel :D

[@vascotoys]

Thank you! It's taken a lot of practice for sure. Glad this will be helpful for your channel

[@lionsbrush]

@@vascotoys I tried to make something similar for my project last year but I couldn't find the right techniques...so the whole project went into the trash can. I will try your way, maybe I will get lucky this time :D

[@vascotoys]

@@lionsbrush that's a bummer. Good luck this time around!

[@thanos2727]

Looks awesome .can't wait to see the final product

[@ToyFlexZone]

Amazing piece!!

[@vascotoys]

Thanks ToyFlexZone!

[@thekoolkidstoysthekoolkids4717]

Thank you for still contributing your art techniques

[@vascotoys]

Of course. If it weren't for KZbin tutorials I would have never discovered this hobby. It's important to me to pay that forward when I can.

[@stormselites1662]

Amazing work on that dio.I’m loving these terrain diorama builds

[@vascotoys]

Thanks! Glad to hear it. I love the terrain builds

[@michaelsexton170]

Thanks. I don't want a wall but I'm sure same principles apply for a ground crater.

[@vascotoys]

Yes for sure. Just make sure the foam you are cutting the crater into is deep enough to accommodate the crater.

[@vascotoys]

Hey Michael, not sure if you saw but I now have a video about a ground impact crater. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWXUiX-GrbicebMsi=zgrARdlKpFKOd1Tn

[@SmirkingRevenge]

Great video Vincent! This piece looks so cool! I love the smaller rock formations around the impact crater, it really sells the illusion. Keep up the great work!

[@vascotoys]

Thanks! I always appreciate your support. I had a lot of fun making this one and am proud of it

[@MarkMcKittrick]

Love your channel! Just discovered this today! Been binge watching your stuff! I mainly work in 1:18 scale. I’d love to see how to make diorama accessories like power/breaker boxes, AC units, etc…

[@vascotoys]

Thanks! Appreciate you watching and glad you enjoy the channel. Will keep all those ideas in mind!

[@mistac5050]

Great build Vincent.

[@vascotoys]

Thank you Mista C! Always appreciate your kind words.

[@fabiorodrigues890]

Well done, great work!

[@vascotoys]

Thanks Fabio! Glad you like the piece

[@RayCampbellakaroadhog]

I’m definitely wanting to try this but I don’t have a hot knife so maybe I’ll wait. Otherwise I’d have to try to carve each layer before gluing them together. Excellent work and great video thank you

[@vascotoys]

Thank you! A hot knife definitely makes it a quicker process.

[@TechChucker]

Nicely done! Looks great dude!

[@vascotoys]

Thank you! Haven't done an impact crater in a while. Really enjoyed making this

[@otakulensphotography]

Outstanding bro

[@vascotoys]

Thank you 😀

[@albertomagana4331]

Looks great!🔥🔥🔥✌🏼

[@obi-onekenerdi]

You can literally do so much with foam people don’t even realize.

[@vascotoys]

So true! It's my favorite material for sure.

[@obi-onekenerdi]

@@vascotoys I looking into making a floating display shelf, themed after one of the stages from Smash Bros (I have a big Smash action figure collection) and I’m think foam is the best material for the majority of the project.

[@vascotoys]

@@obi-onekenerdi you could totally use foam for that! Sounds like an awesome project. Good luck with it!

[@MrSpriken]

That looks really awesome man. Very inspiring too. Thanks for sharing 🐤

[@vascotoys]

Thanks for watching!

[@jmrjhulk]

Glad i found your channel

[@vascotoys]

Me too! Thanks for checking out my videos.

[@des_refan]

Very cool! Have you ever done a Yamcha crater?

[@vascotoys]

I have not! I wish I had the SH Figuarts Yamcha, but I missed out. Thanks for watching.

[@des_refan]

@@vascotoys same. Waiting for a rerelease

[@vascotoys]

@@des_refan me too! Love the SH Figuarts DBZ line.

[@vascotoys]

Hey Des, I now have a Yamcha crater video. Wanted to share in case you want to watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWXUiX-GrbicebMsi=zgrARdlKpFKOd1Tn

[@salemboss382]

Good video,thank you

[@vascotoys]

You got it! Thanks for checking it out and leaving a comment. 👍

[@Batdad77]

I see batcave before the "impact" zone. Now I just need to scale ot to 1/6 scale for hot toys😎

[@vascotoys]

Hey sorry for missing this! I think you are totally right. I could see that.

[@jaredperry917]

That's gonna be a lot of foam

[@Batdad77]

@@jaredperry917 nothing that can't be done😎

[@reddogterrain]

First time here. Subbed.

[@vascotoys]

Thank you 🙏. I have another terrain build coming out this Friday.

[@reddogterrain]

@@vascotoys Wonderful. I am here for it.

[@TheSonnyChannel]

One day, I swear I will attempt one of these builds. I may be intoxicated so I at least have that to blame on it not coming out as nice as your builds.

[@vascotoys]

Hahahahaha of you ever have any questions Sonny, just let me know. Will be happy to help

[@grimyentertainment238]

I thought the same as you and mine came out decent. Go for it man. You never know until you try.

[@michaelbevins5886]

Do you have any videos of ground impact crater? Want to do something with my Marvel Legends Avalanche fig

[@vascotoys]

Hey! I don't but it would be a similar process to what I did here.

[@vascotoys]

Hey Michael! I now have a video that shows a ground impact crater: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWXUiX-GrbicebMsi=zgrARdlKpFKOd1Tn

[@TheDragonzFire]

Hello. What determines the temperature glue that gets used on these? Is it the type of foam? Low temp on a type of foam, high temp on another type?

[@vascotoys]

Good question. Low temperature glue on XPS foam. High temp hot glue melts XPS

[@TheDragonzFire]

Thanks so much for the reply. I had more questions but found your glue guide video that I will watch. But curious about masking and the fan with the Hotwire tool. Those precautions aren’t needed when manipulating xps foam in general? Just watching out for my lungs lol

[@vascotoys]

@@TheDragonzFire awesome! Hope you enjoy the glue guide. The only times I use a mask with XPS is if I am using a hotwire or sanding (which I don't like to do). I don't use a mask when I carve the foam with a knife. That's how I know to best protect myself.

[@TheDragonzFire]

Ok thanks again. Sounds like if manipulating the foam in a well ventilated area it’s fine. I initially got concerned because I was like isn’t that foam used in insulation and toxic??But I looked it up and it’s all good especially since I would only be cutting with a blade

[@楊証然]

Excuse me ，sorry to bother you 🙂 What kind of your mask you wear in video?（Filter、cartridge)

[@vascotoys]

Hey! No need to apologize. Here is my Amazon affiliate link for the 3M fume mask I use: amzn.to/3LF2gdU

[@楊証然]

@@vascotoys Thanku so much 😃. I want to check the mask use 6001 organic vapor cartridge and 5P71 filter，right?

[@vascotoys]

@@楊証然 yes, that's what I have used, but it's always a good idea for you to look into the safety specs and make sure you are comfortable with them. I'm no safety expert.

[@exomix99]

Itu menggunakan styrofoam jenis apa??

[@vascotoys]

XPS insulation foam. I get it at Home Depot in the United States. The name of the company that makes it is Owen's Corning

[@Grungy1]

The reason you got the gaps is that you used hot glue and no weight on it.

[@vascotoys]

Thanks Kevin, I'm happy with the way things turned out. Since I made this video I have also been using Plaster of Paris on a lot of these kinds of builds, which helps fill in any gaps.
