Love it Luke! Nailed the snow and ice effects. That’ll be one for the shelf to be proud of.😍

[@TheHobbyCorner]

Yeah, the.....ice shelf.... I'll leave now 🚪🚶‍♂️

[@Miscast]

Out done yourself mate

[@LootStudios]

Wooow, just stunning! It's so good to watch your view on The Ice Breaker, amazing work!

[@mattcurr9931]

hopefully there'll be a few good action/battle poses, the ones I've seen so far all look a bit timid.

[@josemanuelaguero68]

Can you still get those files from your site?

[@skrivebordskyggen0449]

@@josemanuelaguero68 They’re there permanently - If you didn’t already know.

[@Jazza]

Absolutely stunning!!!

[@KaitoZaras]

How is it not many other people noticed Jazza commented hah

[@davidbarko7004]

Perfect for your Astra Primursa

[@renees766]

Jazza!

[@NatesMiniatures]

The funny thing is Loot Studios probably asked Luke to paint a model for them, Luke just paint something?, are you mad! creates full diorama.

[@MentatOfDune]

That looks fantastic. One of the best diorama's I've seen in a long time.

[@Deximaru]

I usually dislike snow effects. They just never look good. But this is incredible, especially that ice 🧊 awesome work

[@DevsDice]

I don't say this very often Luke but as a fellow Swede....THAT IS BEAUTIFUL! Wow! So impressed! You nailed it! Lots of love from Sweden! 💙💛💙👍

[@triplet7788]

This is amazing, I love ice and snow when done right.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Bears. Beets. Battlestar. Nice chilled video. Great result. SNOW MONTH!

[@Scribbinge]

I love the contrast between when you started 3d printing and now. At first you seemed a bit hesitant and sceptical but lately your recent videos have been you absolutely fanboying over a different studio's amazing models and going "THIS TURNED OUT SO MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT! LOOK HOW COOL AND EASY THIS IS!" Thoroughly converted haha.

[@nicknelson5139]

I did a commission a few years ago for a Battle of the Bulge army. The snow work was tons of fun.

[@biomcanx1]

try using resin and UV flashlight instead of super glue for joining the pieces of the ships. Incredible diorama, thanks for the video!

[@kirillgarin283]

the bow of the ship is metal - this is the Viking icebreaker. cool done ..

[@gettingpolitical]

I love it, Vikings have always been my favorite groups for table top gaming followed by pirates. I just created from scratch both the "queens Ann revenge" and "royal fortune". I intend to make a full fleet of viking ships for my Viking series. Great work, keep the content coming.

[@NunnanAgda]

Your projects is so nice, they bringing joy to many. You're apriciated.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

ooooh, this is so good!!! :-)

[@PreposterousJellyfish]

Holy moly this looks BEAUTIFUL!

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Great job, mate. Not that I'd expect anything else! Awesome snow.

[@Zadster]

That's pretty much the best looking ice and snow I have seen. Luke just needs a helmet and he'd look pretty Viking-y anyway! So this is basically a self portrait. Nipping down the Calder into Wakey on a cold January morning in the family longship, to get some stuff from Sainsbury's.

[@99brickstudios]

Oh sh#t I’ve never heard anyone consider exposure when mini painting. Super fascinating

[@joshsquash206]

Bro thank you so much for this video, was able to get the most perfect snow effect for my Snowpiercer diorama, ty TY! so much!

[@Bluebrain]

Really great! Just the ice on the boat is blue.

[@paulaneary7877]

I am watching this for the second time, still love it!

[@snieves4]

Free folk faction from Song of Ice and Fire has some great sculpts for snowy figures

[@HeraldWitte]

Great diorama work with excellent models from Loot Studio's. You deserved the early access 👏

[@Boylei]

Incredible diorama, man! I really enjoyed this one.

[@mini-paintingpapa]

Great video Luke! Fantastic job showcasing the new Loot Studios release!

[@AppleseedInTheShell]

Im new to painting mini's but damn that is a great tip to "under expose" the painting when doing snow scenes. That makes so much sense and looks fantastic!

[@alvinmarcus5780]

Heck, I was getting colder as the video went on. Five stars Luke. 👍😀

[@BarokaiRein]

This is quite useful to me since I'm planning to make a wintery diorama for my mom for yule. I've done some snow before but never in larger scale so the it never even occurred to me to paint stuff darker first etc.

[@plantnerdsa]

We miss you Luke! Would have loved to see you do a big board like this!

[@amberharvey4566]

in future for resin that you want to break, it might help to score the patterns you want then freeze the block before breaking. the freezing should help make it slightly more brittle and the score lines will guide the breaks so its less likely to just shatter like glass.

[@Atom_Alchemist]

I would still love a break down of your hot water dipping and ripping technique and how it compares to proper snipping/clipping, and cold ripping.

[@rbaleksandar]

"It's more realistic that way" *keeps painting blue icicles* :D Great model and the paint job was really nice.

[@michaelshort1411]

We used to use baking soda when we made our snow effect in model train building back in the day and lightly mist some water and pva glue in a small spray bottle. Nicely done love the hint of painting some of the areas darker. I've been holding onto an old Ral Partha mini of a viking on a snow sleigh being pulled by polar bears, called the Bear Chariot, that I've had for 25 yrs still in the original box. But I've never came up with my full diorama scenery. I know I wanted to do something with an icy river with sheets of ice in the river like beginning of the thaw next to them with some snow banks on the other side, but I cant come to a final decision exactly how I want it to look yet.

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding work. From California USA.

[@tungdevil7]

That came out really great! The snow and ice are very realistic.

[@cianosiorain6085]

Aw love that boat that's unreal man!

[@EposVox]

Beautiful

[@r1ck5m1th]

That looks so much better than any snow I've ever seen in wargaming. At WHW at the weekend and not a single flake looked vaguely realistic (not always what people are going for... which is absolutely fine). And is that a warlord necromancer hidden in there? 😲

[@direwolfwargaming1887]

Very nice diorama, I love using snow texture for bases!

[@therealDonMac]

That looks amazing. I usually stay away from snow, myself, but with your tips, I can't wait to give it another try.

[@mainepants]

This gave me the idea for an objective marker; a vessel (ship, crashed plane, car etc) trapped in ice that contains a Maguffin, treasure or a character to be rescued/killed.

[@G_Threepwood]

That frozen effect on the boat is top notch!

[@tonylloyd5077]

Awesome work and great explaination of the process.

[@barryhill2836]

YESS!! I can use these for Fantasy Norsca!! Using the fan-made armybook!

[@JayBlackthorne]

Amazing work. Wish I had the time and the space do start doing it as well. Vikings are awesome. But so are ninjas, knights, pirates and robots! Oh, well... maybe one day.

[@juanvasquez1576]

Dude this is the sickest scenic model I've seen, love it keep it up!

[@thepyromantic3468]

Seeing this has really made me want to see a Sto'Vo'Kor (Klingon Underworld) diorama

[@chuckrodgers2018]

I love snow boards! Thank you so much for this. It will help me make my basing a little better!

[@paulaneary7877]

Gorgeous, just gorgeous!

[@richardhogben3776]

The paint job on the ship was amazing

[@richardnichols8154]

Do you realize how far you have come Love the show Thanks

[@gavrielc.929]

Looks epic Luke, really hit this one out of the park.

[@philRminiatures]

Atmospheric and gorgeous, love this incredible and realistic ice... 😍😍😍

[@athollmcnicoll256]

That looks terrific Luke and might I add one of your better small dio's .

[@freelancerblitz2579]

That looks awesome! Love how you did the broken ice chunks especially

[@logowatchman]

Beautiful work and so well explained. Thank you!

[@Drajika]

5:31 A pictureframe from... IKEA!!! cant get more viking than that!! SKÅL FROM SWEDEN!!!! amazing work :D this set makes me wanna get into resinprinting :D

[@52Miniatures]

Looks absolutely lovely. And thanks for the good snow tips and tricks.

[@creativecuts7803]

Really helpful!! Great tip with the resin used for thick ice.

[@scotmartin4460]

You do lovely work. Constructive advice for "selling the scene": footprints. Cheers.

[@GoblinsCorner]

This is an epic build. Really like the contrast of ice and snow. Well done.

[@silversscratchbuiltproduct6277]

Always look forward to a new video from you and im never disappointed!! I love the models and ill check them out to add to my portfolio. Thanks again

[@lewismcdermott3024]

this diorama is PHENOMENAL

[@magikdust2095]

This looks great. I do believe the snow part would look a little better with iridescent glitter on it, though, because real snow kind of has a iridescent glitter to it. Other than that, it looks great, and it was a good video 👍

[@patriciaolsen7816]

You did a great job on your diorama with snow .you said you would like to do more snow diorama how about a napoleon retreat from russia dirama I would like to see that or any snow diorama you do .I did learn a hole lot from your videos again great job on your diorama have a nice day be safe

[@rafiqkatana]

Beautiful piece of Art mate. Nice.

[@DJRockford83]

I suddenly have a hankering for Kendal mint cake 😅 great vid bud 👍

[@photogfrank2146]

Soooooo cool! or cold? Great video! I love it!

[@borguttblackork3821]

this is an outstanding work dude...cool cool cool...:)

[@debzmoss]

Oh wow! Definitely a favourite! 😍 👌

[@ThePickleJar]

Absolutely brilliant. Such an awesome build and video great to watch. Nice work bud!

[@pkc5091]

You should probably wear a mask so you're not breathing in any of those chemicals you're working with, but god damn this is stunning. Subscribed :).

[@jorgecesaro8903]

Awesome. A few ideas to mke it more perfect. (1) Replace the plastic sails for real fabric. (2) Im not a sailor. But, as far as I know, no one wind-sail in narrow ice-crack. They will using rows, pulling with ropes, and/or pushing with long poles. (3) Crew should be on the sides of deck, looking down, concerned of hull damage Bent guy on stern will do the trick. (4) One "practicall" should be in bow, wornking as "eyes" for the rudder.

[@londonsmee]

Nice diorama, only thing that ship looks too high out of the water. Good video.

[@SwordsandBrushes]

That looks epic dude! I love seeing snowy models/dioramas :):)

[@Karlmakesstuff]

Thanks for the tips about painting snow stuff, that is very useful!

[@downbadtakodachi5240]

Looks amazing!

[@debbralehrman5957]

This looks so cool.

[@Nat1videos]

Great video man, love the broken ices around the boat. Lovely Diorama ;)

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Damn Luke, that really is EPIC! Very Nice!

[@countzero1136]

Nice work Luke - Love the cracked ice technique!

[@thesixthhousedagoth9439]

Round of applause m8, very good. Ima ava crack at doing a mountaintop like this

[@liam1666]

brilliant i really want to start making/creating little dioramas like this top work thanks for all the tips and content!

[@gnollman]

Wow, amazing snow effects, love it.

[@cfbush2000]

Super diorama! Also I learned some things. Thanks Luke.

[@lastpostgaming5901]

Have been subscribing to loot for a while cannot wait for this, just need to save a little bit more for a 3D printer lol

[@billiondollarclownfarm]

man this is so awesome i gotta get some of your base scenics

[@portucan46]

amazing work. Thank's for your time sharing with us

[@ancientgraybear]

The ice effect is great.

[@jimcourter5633]

Your diorama looks great. Can't wait to get files to do my own.

[@loicb2202]

Amazing ! very beautiful !

[@bettsdn]

Love snow effects. I'm currently doing a snow-themed Tau army. Planning a snow and ice display board for them as well. Using "Precision Ice and Snow" brand powders and effects based on a previous video of yours. When that runs out I'll have to give your stuff a try too.

[@timjones990]

Amazing project amazingly executed, looks incredible.

[@darylgrimes4484]

Fantastic piece of art.

[@TheGreatMim]

Wow that looks fantastic mate, thanks for all the tips, a cracking video👏👏👏

[@marksmith9448]

YYEESSSSS!!!! awesome vid on building terrain/ diorama with brilliant tips and techniques....get back to more of this.... its what makes you so much better than the rest...maybe not better than Luke Towen and Paeper cuts.....but just as good 😉

[@alexandrefernandes6286]

I love your videos! Just sooo cool! What is that snow powder? Static grass snow alone doesn't sell it to me and I don't know where to buy that snow powder, because that is AWESOME!!!
