[@G31M1]

Awesome build! Might have to share this with my dad when I see him again haha

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Absolutely awesome diorama. Cudos to you for the stunning and detailed work. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers friend, and you

[@wafflyfox7550]

Is it ok if I kind of “steal” some of your ideas for a bunker diorama? It’s just too good!!!

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Please be my guest, maybe mention my channel if you get the chance. It is my most watch video, and I thought it would be a flop.👍 merry xmas mate

[@wafflyfox7550]

@@ctscalemodellinguk aww thanks mate, of course I’ll mention you! ;) merry Christmas to you too !

[@georgedistel1203]

WOW absolutely mind blowing , materials being used and execution

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers Glad you like it, just try to get good results with basic materials. Thx for watching.

[@JamessModellingChannel1992]

Fantastic build and great idea.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Many thanks, I enjoyed building the PAK 40 more than I thought I would. May do more anti tank guns in the future.

[@robbo1068]

An amazing complex and detailed diorama, well designed and beautifully craft. This is a testament how simple, everyday products can be transformed into something that is visually stunning.....and showing your artistic skills!! Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Many thanks, I think you summarise my approach to dioramas really well. Hope it helps and gives you ideas.

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

That is a brilliant diorama . Fantastic work . Do like the different sceneries . We feel the action of the tense moment . Bravo !

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Thanks appreciate the comments. I just tried something different, think it works. It took a bit of time to do the figures but the overall result is there. Doing a few 1:72 kits now for a rest. 🙂

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

@@ctscalemodellinguk It is a success ! Painting figurines at the 1/32 not easy . Much more details and requiers extra painting work . Me I am satisfied with the 1/72 !

[@therocktm2001]

Great stuff! Love the dioramas! I see those glasss you have in the video I pick a set up the other day! Danm they make such a huge difference!

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

I know, i do everything with them know, although they have split and I need a new pair. Thanks for watching and the main thing enjoying the vid.🙂

[@therocktm2001]

Man!!! This is the best bunker build video I’ve seen on here this has inspired me to build my pin! Great job bud🥃👍

Fabulous diorama, very creative and one to be proud of!

[@Emtbtoday]

New subscriber, love the cutaway bunker great idea!

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers, got the idea from model tanks that are cross sectioned, especially when all that effort has gone into the interior. Thx for the sub. Appreciate support.

[@ericsainte290]

try yellow carpenter glue. grabs faster and slips less...

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers

[@CWModelling]

Wow, superb dio......love the cut away idea 👍

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers got the idea from the cut away tanks, made it more interesting at 1:35 aswell.

[@edhorst7212]

Please explain how shells were made, thanks.. awesome diorama

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Hi hope your well, unfortunately I cant take any credit, they came in the PAK 40 kit from Tamiya which I really enjoyed building ( surprisingly). Its a cheap kit if you wish to get some extras.👍

[@wafflyfox7550]

Awesome! I’ll use this for my fort de Vaux diorama! Keep up the fantastic work! It’s purely beautiful

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Its surprising what you can make from foam, filler and imagination. I think you could do endless possibilities from it. It took a while to complete, but was really happy with the look of the concrete.👍

[@wafflyfox7550]

[@Lemmiwinks6]

Hi, could you explain how you paint the German soldiers ?

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Hi, I dont tend to make too many videos about figures. I base them in a German uniform colour either vallejo or tamiya german grey. Then you can either darken the base and paint shadows or cheat and apply a dark grey wash. Then I dry brush the whole figure in the base colour, then lighten the base and paint highlights, tops of creases etc. If you look at my soviet or us marine its that type of process. Its just practice, there are some great figure painters on you tube, I just do what I can. This help?

[@Lemmiwinks6]

@@ctscalemodellinguk yes this helped, thanks !

[@Steve-dr7rr]

Can I ask what you used for the door please

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Hi it was sort of plastic card from a sign, it was perforated inside. Foam card would do the same job. Hope this helps.

[@Steve-dr7rr]

@@ctscalemodellinguk cheers I was going to buy a corrugated bit and glue a top on it very nice dio by the way

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

@@Steve-dr7rr I tend to use basic cheap things , my shed is full of stuff that I thought would be useful. Cheers for watching.

@@ctscalemodellinguk cheers sorry to ask again what size was the door. Since my 2 strokes I’ve lost my short term memory and not good with working sizes amongst other things I would be very grateful many thanks steve

[@chrispacer4231]

DON’T THINK I’VE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE… nice cut away of the bunker A PART OF HISTORY… well planned out…lots of ACTION… lots to LOOK AT IT TOOK A LOT OF WORK… JULY 16th 2021… CHRIS from OHIO USA

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers, its the figures that took the time really. There was a bit of research up front to do the drawing and rescale aswell. Thanks for comments appreciated.

[@ronvanhoose2130]

I like it

[@pronkhonk1]

The soundtrack is taken from the merville battery?

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

I visited it a couple of years ago and thought it was realistic

[@subliminalstyrene811]

Pretty damn cool idea for a Diorama, very well executed as well. I won't be copying it but I will certainly be using the idea of it to make my own style diorama. My only gripe would be that the concrete bunker walls were poured concrete into wooden plank forms and the concrete oozed out a bit between the planking forms as opposed to being cut into, otherwise excellent work, look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers, I hope my channel does give people ideas to work with, just as I get ideas from other content. Theres a fair bit of artistic license with the work, I take your point with the lines.

[@aa1944-k2r]

im always very interested in heavy gun bunker, sometimes i think, wouldn't it be quite easy for infantry to take out these bunkers from the front because of the relatively big opening and lack of MG for self defense? yes i notice there is one on top and there might be other bunkers covering this bunker...

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Hi, hope your well, it was just my interpretation from photos etc, I assume the German MG’s covered most areas. Really the bunker measurements were based on a 88mm gun, so the pak is a bit smaller. Cheers for watching.

[@aa1944-k2r]

@@ctscalemodellinguk thx, i like these kind of thing, maybe in the future you can build some japanese bunkers as well? 😊
