Part 1 - Custom 1/35 scale realistic WWII DIORAMA, research, planning and build.

[@markedwards4616]

Your how to videos, Glenn, gives us all a starting point of how to proceed with any diorama. Making it very easy and taking out the mystery of a new build. Helpful to say the least, well done.

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Oh wow thanks!😊

[@KGmodels]

Looks great Glenn,the amount of detail and the realism of your dioramas is amazing.I make armour,however your dioramas make me want to try a figure base,with No tank,instead of What I make with the tank!Can’t wait for part 2!

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Thanks!

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Thank you very much! 👍😎

I got the same idea long time ago I painted one figure build a 251 and convert Verlinden figures but as it come to the diorama I stuck to it .Maybe I will resurrect it .But I have to much projects going on maybe by end of the year .The problem I have find all this stuff together again it is spread all over my room .Sometimes I got stuck in former times because not have the knowledge and the materials to do it .I began this 30 or more years ago ,so maybe with all the new materials I am able save it .But nice to see you doing it in a good way and I am really looking forward to see it with all the figures and ready build .As every time you do a marvelous job on it !

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

😎👍thanks!

Another amazing piece of history depicted in miniature. Glenn, you do fantastic work. I think this one is on track to easily match the quality of your last one depicting the mortar team in the ruins. Thank you for sharing and explaining your methods in detail. It's yet another great inspiration to those of us who follow your channel.

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Wow thank you!

[@johnwinchester3060]

Hello Glenn. Another very interesting video along with the reference photos. Figures look great. Nice to see Rommel again on the job. Everything is coming together effortlessly as usual. Watching you put it all together makes me want to buy magic-sculpt. Always a treat to watch as well as listening to your comments. Looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds in your next video. Many thanks!

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!

Thank you so much👍👍😎

Just discovered your channel. Excellent work! I'm inspired to get back into the hobby after watching this. I remember walking through the Ardennes back in the '80s. It seemed strange that such ferocious fighting took place in those peaceful villages. The forests there are very dense and quite spooky. I met a bloke who camped out in the woods and said he found American equipment mouldering away in the undergrowth. I was nervous about exploring because apparently there was still unexploded booby traps set by the Germans that hadn't entirely rotted away. Great videos, look forward to the next one!

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

That must’ve been a great adventure being able to travel there. I went to Normandy France in 2007 with my son and we backpacked through Europe and had a amazing time! Thanks for commenting and I’m glad you enjoy my channel.

[@DutchDaveModels]

You managed to get that piece of wall spot on. Nice job 👍✨

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Hi Glenn, This is the first time I have come across your channel and I am sure it will be a very helpful discovery! I really like your approach of not using all the latest "flavor of the month" products. Keep up the great work and all the best from Bonnie Scotland! Alister

Hi Glenn Another fantastic job mate! Are you going to use the US figures from Miniart’s 35373 Battle of the Bulge kit, or scratch building? Really looking forward to watching the next segment! Thanks for sharing your great work ❤😊

[@johnjozifek7910]

😢oh yes , forgot to mention I have a collection of the old Military Modeler magazines from the 70's , 80's , 90's ... I remember your terrific armor back then ...

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Oh cool so you do have some of those I only have one magazine left and that’s the one where I’m on the cover. Thanks man.

[@johnjozifek7910]

Hey , Glenn ... I commented on your Cassino dio how I also am planning scenes from that battle , now you're beginning another based on the Bulge , which I also have in mind ... also Arnhem and Stalingrad dios that I too have in mind ... we seem to be intrigued by similar aspects of WW2 ! You're an inspiration ! By the way , I checked your herpatoligy channel ... fascinating ! I live in Fairbanks , Alaska ... thankfully no snakes here , not a fan of all the creepy crawlies

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Yeah, I can’t wait to start working on that stuff. I have the mini art set for Anaheim. Enjoy working on your projects and thanks for commenting!
