I can absolutely see this guy getting really popular like North of the Border. Give this man some support!

If only, I love North of the Border.

thats high praise , i'll give him a shot

[@muurrarium9460]

LOL what border? You are probably using an expression, but I do not know it... (I, as a Dutchy, live north of many borders, but there many more countries more to the north as well...)

Has anyone else noticed that the diorama building diy channels are actually like a community? They support each other and they share ideas😁 and the comments are usually nice. So happy its a healthy community

[@dodgydioramas]

I have and it's so nice I wish I'd started years ago.

For the first time in forever, KZbin has recommended something fantastic. Wonderful work, I look forward to seeing much more!! You got this :)

Thank you, I hope so.

Oh, you did the mighty Blacksmith proud. Thank you.

[@dodgydioramas]

Thanks, he is one of my favourites from the Loot collection

[@taleenkassabian1196]

I really appreciate you covering the times things haven’t gone quite right. It’s so reassuring to know others struggle with dioramas at times as I constantly find myself getting frustrated with my efforts and thinking I’m not good enough after watching hundreds of videos where the nothing ever seems to go awry for the crafter. So thank you, you’ve made me feel more confident in knowing that stuff doesn’t have to go 100% correct all the time!

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, trying new techniques that may or may not work is half the fun of the hobby.

[@kevincoon1809]

Well I hope you make more. Because we like hearing you talk to yourself. Makes us feel less crazy 🤣

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, No. 3 is on its way.

[@markedwards4616]

Dodgy Dioramas, cool name for your channel. Well done.

[@Tomy_Yon]

Without an added light source, like leds, in the forge, that's some impressive painting. Also the details are exceptional. 👍

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you

[@modelermark172]

Your building methods are somewhat laborious, but I can't argue with the end results. This is a true museum piece!

Thank you, I know what you mean but I find it enjoyable for some strange reason and it's all about fun.

[@toddrodgers5108]

Sir that was amazing. I'm no modeler. But I do forge . That was very nice . Nope watched the hole thing. Thank you.

[@badwillnosoup4u]

The glow on the sword is amazing! It looks almost like it has an led in the anvil it’s so bright.

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, yeah didn't think it would work quite as well as it did. I thank the tutorials I studied first.

[@completelyconfused1525]

I rarely comment on any video but I just have to tell you how impressive your dioramas are! You are a craftsman. Keep it up, we (your subscribers) want more!

this isn't just a tutorial this this your thoughts and reasons for the decisions you made. this is something i can learn from not just rote copying someone else's work. thank you for your mistakes

As a fan of North of the Border and Boylei Hobby Time I'm super happy KZbin suggested your fledgling channel and I look forward to more from you and how the channel develops over time.

For the DAS clay sticking to the roller, try wetting the roller. Should help it let go of the clay a bit easier

[@Dhall-sg2hf]

Ok, there is so many things about this video that I was sceptical about at first. First off I love your tone and the way you work, its very mellow and Bob Ross...ish (I absolutley love watching Bob Ross) Then as im watching this im thinking theres no way this is going to look good. As I keep telling myself when im doubting my own work (trust the process) and as the video continues I can help but smile when I see things come together and look very good and rustic. To the point to where id love to create a version of this on my own now. I really enjoyed the other props and details that you put into the shop as well, barrels, weapons dog ect. The forge was one of my favorite parts when it dried and you carved out the brick, looked fantastic. What caught my eye was the dwarf (Uten Ironheart) was my very first 3d resin print and paint project I did. One detail that I would have loved to seen was maybe a small hanging sign that has like (Ironheart) on the shop sign. I watched every second of this video and loved it, and im looking forward to see what you will come out with next! Subscribed and liked as well! Amazing work my friend!

Good afternoon, I love your diorama, magnificent work, I admire your skill in creating a truly realistic vignette One question, how do I execute the painting of the dog that appears in the diorama? thank you very very much

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, when it comes to figure painting I'm very much a beginner so probably not the best to give advice although as far as the dog is concerned I put the paint on in lots of little lines to make an attempt at a fur look. If I did it again I'd exaggerate it more.

[@ricktedder4749]

Congratulations on having the guts to start a KZbin channel,something I doubt I would do. The video is well done but I don't why but the volume for me at least was very low. On another note may I offer a solution to the bowing of the base, try coating PVA onto the underside not only does it help seal and harden it also should counter act the bowing as it pull contract pulling the base back with it

[@dodgydioramas]

Thank you, yes on this first video I had the audio too low and I've now started coating everything in PVA definitely works.
