Making a Massive (tiny) Battle Scene - 10mm Scale Diorama

[@leiferickson5602]

The diorama is very dynamic and the trees acting as backdrop help to define the limits of the scene. A lovely job!

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you Leif appreciate it my man, until I put the trees on I really wasn’t sure about it haha, hope you’re well!

[@leiferickson5602]

​@@SwampRatMiniatures You encountered a problem and solve it with a limited amount of work and backtracking on the diorama: that's the sign the you are a good at this hobby!

[@Dithyrambos-h5e]

The "epic scale" minis aren't really my jam in wargaming, but I really do like the flexibility they gave you on this diorama. I dig it.

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Yeah I get you there, they have their advantages and disadvantages but I’m liking their potential for large “small-scale dioramas” if that makes sense haha, thanks for watching!

[@Tomy_Yon]

The water was a great extra. I don't think I've seen so many figurines in one diorama before. 👍

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you my man, hope you’re well! I’ve never added so many to a diorama myself, it was a busy week for me hahaha

[@cerisekappes580]

This diorama looks amazing!!! I’m loving the cork rock face!!!! Fits the scale perfectly!!! ❤😊❤

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you Cerise! Me too I think the cork has a lot of potential for smaller builds so I’ll be whipping it out again soon, hope you’re well!

[@cerisekappes580]

@@SwampRatMiniatures you are welcome 🤗 Can’t wait to see what you do next!!! All is well 😊 Hopefully all is well with you and happy Thanksgiving!

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Very nice diorama. I'm rooting for the Vikings.

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you my man, hope you’re well, I caught your railway tour a couple of weeks ago it looked awesome!

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

@@SwampRatMiniaturesthank you! My tour video is definitely popular!

[@localwonder]

love it! especially trees. its crazy how much patience you had for all this micro-minis. This "sunny forest" vibe reminds me your diorama with river monster.🥰

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Hey Philip thank you my friend! The tiny miniatures were definitely a struggle, and did give me a headache by the time I’d finished them all 😄 I’m glad you think so, I really liked how this little forest came out, thanks for watching I hope you’re well!

[@IngoGarza]

I'm thinking about doing stuff in 1/200 scale and I loved this video. More of this please! :)

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you my friend! Since making this I’ve been looking at so many little 10mm miniatures, there will definitely be more to come, thanks for watching!

[@bernardatkinson8892]

looks good nice work

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thanks Bernard hope you’re well my friend!

[@doctoronishispsychosislab1474]

1mm Cork sheet would make a ton of 10mm Walls. :) Respect for the Adhoc Base hiding lol That looked Ruthless. This turned out fantastic. (maybe water down your paints alittle more for the small guys. Them trees are mint super easy too

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Great shout for the walls actually! And I’m glad you watched this after we spoke about the 10mm ones 😁 thank you dude, definitely some improvements to be made with my painting at this scale but rest appreciate it!

[@TimHendrikx]

Love It, just love it. Simple but so effective. Thank you!

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you my friend, that means a lot, thanks for watching!

[@richardbradley2335]

In'' Living Daylights'' Bond movie they had dioramas in that...one was in Hamleys...Waterloo....The company that did the metal figs were on the local news, the figs were actually posable metal !!!, just bend the arms and legs

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Very interesting, I think the same would be possible with these guys at a larger scale but since they’re so small the amount of flex is marginal too, I actually broke a couple of the bases/legs off by accident shoving these into the blue tack haha, thank you for watching my friend appreciate the Bond lore!

[@lapre7872]

very nice looking and the trees really look amazing!

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you! The trees are probably my favourite part actually, so fun and easy to make also

[@macslayah]

Brilliant job 3rd video i watched from u and i'm hooked

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Glad you like it man, this is probably one of my favourite builds actually, I love the tiny miniatures and might have to make another one soon!

[@thebasicspace]

I love this!! It would be amazing to see more dioramas in this scale, there aren't to many of them on KZbin. A dream would be a 10mm Lord of the rings diorama. My favorite scene must be the first battle with the Uruk hai at Amon hen. Would be great to see someone making from scratch ruins in this scale🙏 Thank you for great videos

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you my friend really glad you like it! I have a very similar dream to you but mine is for the last alliance battle in 10mm, with thousands of miniatures, maybe one day 😄 the ruins are a great idea also, I’ve been trying out some tiny 10mm scenery stuff recently so may put a video out on it soon, thank you for watching!

[@thebasicspace]

Looking forward to seeing that! Playing around a little with 10mm scenery myself so all inspiration is most welcome :) It's so small, I wonder why I'm so fascinated by it. But I just am😊 Wow, yea the last alliance diorama would be an epic project for sure😅 We'll see if the inspiration comes🙏💫 Thanks again for great content!!

[@davidwasilewski]

@@SwampRatMiniaturescheck out Wakes Emporium for 10mm LotR miniatures. War of the Ring (The GW miniature wargames rulebook) for rules.

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

@@davidwasilewski Ahhh awesome dude thanks for the suggestion, gonna see what they’ve got!

[@KingKlingel]

Realy cool!

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you my friend!

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

This is so cool man love it. Im want to do a 10mm lord of the rings one soon, some great tips here.

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Ayeee thank you my dude appreciate it, I’ve wanted to do a 10mm version of the battle of the last alliance but who knows when that will happen, good luck with your one though I look forward to watching it!!

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

@@SwampRatMiniatures Oh man that would be so sick. Im playing about with scaling 28mm stls to 10mm for things. I was thinking perhaps some mental first age battle. Theres a few of us looking to make one for a colab if u are interested in joinin. :)

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

@@jmaccsarmiesofArda definitely interested bro, shoot me a message on instagram @swampratminiatures if you wanna chat more about it!

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

@@SwampRatMiniatures Sweet sent one :)

[@biancahumble706]

This was brilliant 😂

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@levladcadenaspena9211]

How did you do the trees?

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Hello my friend, I showed how to make them in the video 😄

[@doctoronishispsychosislab1474]

At 28mm scale looking down on the table from 3 foot above would be like looking down from 160 foot on to troops. so looking down on 10mm is like 455 feet above. you dont see much detail at 450 feet. thats how i justify my bad painting lol

[@SwampRatMiniatures]

Hahaha I’m gonna take note of that for when someone asks me why my 10mm minis suck 😂
