Absolutetly amazing 🙌🙌🙌

[@joetucker5483]

Amazing, inspiring! Thank you :)

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

I really liked this one. The building form to get adaptable. But I did not understand the setting of a barn out in the middle of absolutely nowhere totally unconnected.

[@artoall243]

Sempurna.. Karya yang cantik ❤👏👏

[@carmelitadasgarcasdeolivei7985]

Parabens ❤! Lindo caprichou digno de uma mansão! ❤❤👏👏👏👏👏

[@cristianlound3050]

Excellent scene and atmosphere generated. I think the only thing I can say is that the video looked very dark at times and I particularly found it somewhat annoying and uncomfortable. Maybe if you can light it up more without losing the warmth it would be very cool. Like 330 :D

[@gadaladalelar1]

May i ask what do you spray on the sand to fix it - just pva glue mixed with water ? And if so, how long do you wait until you can paint it ? I really love your work, for me the best dioramas i have seen so far.

[@ExcessivelySentimental]

Yeah it’s just white glue mixed with water. It usually dries over the course of a day

[@mikeseba7817]

👌👍👍👍

[@mikeelliott3779]

May I ask, what is the clear, brushed-on adhesive you used for assembling the building? It kinda looked like clear nail polish? Absolutely beautiful work, thank you for sharing it

[@ExcessivelySentimental]

Thank you! It’s just superglue that comes with a handy little brush

[@patakicsaba1806]

Very professional work amd great video. May I ask what kind of paints do you use? Are they tubed acrilycs? What brand?

[@ExcessivelySentimental]

Correct, tubes of acrylic. They were whatever was cheapest at my local craft supply store 😅

[@brianball2002]

Can I please ask what the pin and crocodile clip are for? Thank you for a great video again. Greetings from Scotland

[@ExcessivelySentimental]

They attach to the static grass applicator so the electrical current runs through and forces the grass to stand upright 🙂

[@RoRo-zh4uf]

Hello there! I like how life-like your diorama sets look with the fine detail and all. Do you happen to have an email where i could reach you? I would love to get your expertise on a diorama myself of the fireplace from the haunting (1999) movie. That of which I'm currently working on thanks! 🙏💯🎨

[@williams2183]

what type of wood do you use?

[@ExcessivelySentimental]

Balsa wood for the building, bass wood for the base

[@JohnAnderman]

Where do you get the corrugated iron maker? I have searched to no avail.

[@ExcessivelySentimental]

You can find them here: www.brunelmodels.net/corrugated-iron-makers

[@JohnAnderman]

Thank you' I ordered one up and will be adding corrugated roofs to some of my buildings. Thank you again.@@ExcessivelySentimental

[@cristianaoliveira7878]

Why took you so long?

[@MVeminor7]

Beautiful piece.
