Like the magnetic columns. I must say the background music is distracting but others may love it.

[@OilersWorkshop]

🤷🏻‍♂️ idk I just do stuff

[@vascotoys]

What an amazing, amazing build Jordan! Excellent job

[@OilersWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@VoodooTabletopCrafts]

Getting a hot wire cutter soon and love the tip about cutting out a big piece and trimming down to make the columns.

[@OilersWorkshop]

Yes! It’s a great way to detail something

[@Djkold]

Destruction is so hard to make look convincing, but you do it masterfully. I had to subscribe to follow your work and be inspired! Just wow!

[@OilersWorkshop]

Dude you’re awesome thank you

[@paulaneary7877]

WOW! The photos were awesome! I enjoyed seeing how the build was utilized. I am new to model/set building and "kitbashing" and I have been wondering how all these beautiful things are used. Thanks for the video!

[@OilersWorkshop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@terryredding2042]

I like it it's looking great I would use gold or silver for the flower Design and I think it would look more like an elven Ruin at least to me 😊

[@OilersWorkshop]

Great idea!!

[@wadecreate]

The detail is insane.. very nice brother!

[@OilersWorkshop]

Thanks so much!

[@wadecreate]

@@OilersWorkshop indeed.. only dabbled in diorama building but your tips are super helpful gonna have to try it and post it.. your work is definitely inspired. 👌

[@ceciliagachet-atchison3689]

WOW you make it look so easy. Thank you for spending the time to share your technique. I do have a question. Is there a video on how you made the round courtyard? If you do , I would like to have the link. Thank you again.

[@OilersWorkshop]

No I did not record that part unfortunately

[@willc7861]

Thanks for the explanation. You made it sound approachable to start w a hot wire cutter. ❤

[@OilersWorkshop]

You can do it!

[@SatelliteSounds]

Clever stuff. Detail is incredible

[@OilersWorkshop]

Thank you

[@redshoesgirl]

is there a video on how to make those fabulously decorated pillars?

[@OilersWorkshop]

I just did what I said in the video, all the skills everyone needs are there! Or on my channel 😄

[@redshoesgirl]

@@OilersWorkshop oh, i must have missed it. thanx

[@terryredding2042]

You could use the fragments of foam your Fleeking off as the Debris from around the pillars it would look more correct because it Came from the pillar just an idea 😊

[@OilersWorkshop]

Good tip!

[@wwagoner]

Incredible work! Fills a niche not being tackled by many other creators

[@OilersWorkshop]

Awesome, thank you

[@neryaleon]

Wow! This is just amazing. I need a hot wire foam cutter now. Can you please send me the link to the one you bought? Thanks in advance.

[@OilersWorkshop]

Just go to HWFF.com

[@miguelcobos3811]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Great video👍🏼

[@woodromeillustrations]

Wonderful tutorial!!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@OilersWorkshop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@happy911]

How did you cut the circular piece steps? Did you cut a circle first and then cut out partial wedges and re-attached them?

[@OilersWorkshop]

You figured it out 👍

[@happy911]

@@OilersWorkshop Just discovered your channel. LOVE IT!!!

[@OilersWorkshop]

@@happy911 you’re awesome

[@td3trooper]

Awesome knowledge

[@OilersWorkshop]

Hey! Thank you

[@TheSasquatchjones]

This is amazing

[@OilersWorkshop]

Thank you

[@redshoesgirl]

don't know if you remember i said something about Aspercreme with Lidocaine for hand pain. using snug disposable surgical gloves will keep the creme on your hands and KEEP THE BLACK WASH OFF OF THEM. 🙂 just a thought. i no longer set up to work on a dio without treating my hands first. if they really hurt after - bowls of ice.

[@OilersWorkshop]

But I like looking like I use dark magic? 😆

[@redshoesgirl]

@@OilersWorkshop uh, ok ... 🙂

[@OilersWorkshop]

@@redshoesgirl sorry bad joke

[@redshoesgirl]

@@OilersWorkshop oh gosh, no need to apologize. any joke is cool! i just "worry" about hand pain. speaking of which - off to the medicine cabinet. it's photography time. 🙂

[@royberlin4582]

Absolutely incredible work! Just a quick question. Is the base court yard one piece or three layered?

[@OilersWorkshop]

It’s one piece with tiles on top

[@mrbobjackson101]

This is amazing as always!! Did you put anything like modge podge etc before black washing/painting your xps foam? Thank you!

[@OilersWorkshop]

Nope just paint straight on

[@bobdylan5705]

This is beautiful and helpful - how far back are you on taking new commissions?

[@OilersWorkshop]

Too far, like years

[@larryblevins8078]

You should paint the circle designs after you black wash it paint the design neon black light green. So you can create a mystical portal just by using a black light on the diarama.

[@OilersWorkshop]

Great idea

[@tube483]

🤩Damn, can’t wait to see the other 3/4 of how u did the dio😁. how did u get the bended strips on the column by chance?

[@OilersWorkshop]

Don’t have that recorded, but you can click the links in the description to see why Jax did with the whole thing

[@tearsfromtitan]

The more you know. Thanks

[@OilersWorkshop]

This is looking really good so far! I've been following you on istagram for along time and I didn't realize until today that you also have a youtube! Thanks for this tutorial, you got a sub out of me :)

[@OilersWorkshop]

Hey! Rock on! This was a project I finished last summer, so there is many fully complete images sprinkled throughout my Instagram and links in the description to see how the client used it. You’re awesome!

[@Geordiecrafts]

@@OilersWorkshop I knew it looked familiar! I took a peak at those client photos as well, it looks absolutely stellar! Cheers 😊
