The Knight returns or is it an invading army? You make the story.
In this video, I build a little medieval scene diorama.

Hey look at that?! At 13:18 is the Falcon cutting cardboard! Sub'd for testing it, also for the sheet of paper, thx!

I really like the slightly skew POV you used, really inventive and interesting. When I visited London, I was amazed at the amount of moss on the roofs all around me. We don’t get that at home where I live In Brisbane.

[@dodgydioramas]

Yeah, needs a very damp climate

[@modelermark172]

This is simply excellent! Extra respect for your meticulous tilework on the roofs of your building! And your decision to put the building at an angle to the base is a sound one. Shep Paine advocated this technique in his 1980 book, "How to Build Dioramas": Never put any element parallel to the edges of the base. Your modeling is as skillful as it is intuitive! 45th like.

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you. It sounds like a very interesting book.

[@goforitpainting]

Very cool.

Just a couple of thoughts while I'm watching, MB Fibreglass do Jesmonite, it's a water based product that sets rock hard. You can fill moulds, brush it on as a covering, dye it, and loads of other uses. Hobbycraft do their own version of Tacky Glue, it's just as good but much cheaper. With the tiles you could do them in long strips. Keep the top edge straight and join the tiles at the top but only about 1/3rd the way down. Keep a small gap at the bottom and have the bottom edge of the tiles slightly uneven. When fitting just trim to length and glue a whole row on at one time, should be a bit quicker than individual tiles. Loving what you are doing with these. Keep them coming! Have you ever thought about doing a live stream? Either on here or Twitch, or both together

[@dodgydioramas]

Lots of useful stuff here, thank you. I have thought of doing a live stream, maybe in the not too distant future.

I can tell how much you e joy doing these! Beautiful!

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you! 😊

[@philRminiatures]

Most beautiful and atmospheric diorama, great details!

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@cerisekappes580]

Another absolutely stunning build!!!! You really captured the scene!!!! I’m definitely a fan of the medieval fantasy ❤😊❤

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you. I hadn't planned to do so many medieval themed builds, but I can't resist

[@cerisekappes580]

@@dodgydioramas you are welcome 🤗 Creativity isn’t planned. That’s what makes it so much fun 🤩

[@sphinxtheeminx]

What a great build. You made good use of the Polyflower. And that roof is a labour of love. I would like to see something Studio Ghibli if that suits you, maybe with a touch of Godzilla. Totoro and Godzilla - my dream team.

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, Studio Guibli, interesting. I'm only familiar with 'Spirited Away'

[@familygardener2019]

I love it 👍, I’m thinking of starting to build dioramas in the new year as a new hobby , hopefully they will turn out as good as this

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, please do it's great fun

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Very nicely done Sir. Outstanding diorama.

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you kindly

[@JackShaw-zs1rb]

Another great vid, can't wait for the next one! Have a lovely Christmas

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you. Hopefully, it won't be as long a wait next time

[@leekent46]

Wonderful stuff. Merry Christmas!

[@AllGoodOutside]

Howdy from Lake Havasu City Arizona! The relatively small city where the old London bridge resides, shipped over piece by piece and reassembled like a enormous beautiful Jenga game, complete with original lamp posts cast from melted down Spanish cannons if I remember correctly? I wanted to comment on on how enjoyable it is to watch your process and how pleased I am for having found your channel or should I say how chuffed I am ? Is that the correct colloquialism? Regardless, happy holidays my friend! Cheers!

[@dodgydioramas]

Hi from South London. I have walked across the old London Bridge when it was still in London. Stunning achievement moving it. Chuffed is correct, although it's largely gone out of fashion now.

[@2CraftySeniors]

That really turned out goood! 🥰 The roof looks so real... it must have taken absolute hours! And the rest of the building looks great as well. I always love a medieval scene. I'll have to look to see if you've done a tavern/pub interior full of adventurers. 😃 Have a very Happy Christmas! 😇

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you. There is no tavern yet, but I see one in my future.

[@AllGoodOutside]

I apologize for my run-on comment though in response to your hopefully non rhetorical request, my wife was born in a German town called Hilders , in the Hesse region . In the center of town is a beautiful church called St Bartholomew, I needn't describe it in detail here because I know that if you view a picture of it online you will undoubtedly find it as visually stunning as I do. I have wanted to create a scale sculpture or a diorama of the church as a gift for my wife for many years that have neglected to commit to the project. If you chose to recreate St Bartholomew's in your own style that would be an immensely enjoyable video and I would be keenly interested and no doubt inspired by your artistry!

[@dodgydioramas]

Wow, what a stunning church. That roof would be a challenge.

[@brandonkinchen7214]

What brand xacto knife do you use. The flat metal one.

[@dodgydioramas]

It's a standard medical scalpel with a 10a blade. You can get them at art shops.
