You said that you could see how some people might not value these facades, but honestly this feels like some of your best work. It's such a small slice of life but the level of contrast and exuberance you bring to these pieces is incredible.
@markfergerson21455 ай бұрын
What I’m liking most about them is the history you can see in them. There’s the original building, the modifications and repairs, and then the weathering, plus the debris suggests a larger environment that the facade is part of. A model should tell a story. A full blown diorama or even a vignette can tell about a whole war or just a moment in that war while implying what came before and what might happen immediately after. These facades speak of decades.

In addition to checking out the amazing facades that Emmanuel creates , viewers should see what Swiss modeller Marcel Ackle and American modeller Chuck Doane produce . These truly are works of art. For me Chuck is the true master. However, I love what Uncle has created here with lots of ideas and techniques to be filed away for future use.

I have learned so many tips and techniques from your videos since discovering your channel, they have inspired me to never just build a model from the directions but to always alter the model in some sort of way to add more detail and try new techniques. I would also like to thank you for the excitement, humour and positivity you place into your videos, it is refreshing.

I love any model, facade, or diorama you do so don't think your subs aren't interested in stuff like this because we are. I'd actually say most of us watch because of your incredible attention to detail and creativity in how you approach things like that. I'd love to see you try to tackle an airplane model at some point. Since you do such a fantastic job of weathering your models, it would be cool to see that on a plane like a B-17 like it was battle damaged after a mission or something.
