Build a Diorama : Start to Finish

[@gamedude412]

one tip one of those red knife with the breakable blade segments is great for the craving foam. Its springy but is sharpen-able makes its nice for craving

[@mrtyalcnky4586]

I have seen your work in the books but man, it's amazing to watch you work 👏👏 hope you don't give up on youtube again

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thank you! I'm planning on sticking around here as long as you all will have me.

[@markedwards5106]

Outstanding finish on this diorama, Rick.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

thank you.

[@danbuchmeier]

Whoa, now you're a video pro. What can't Rick do? Commentary was great too. And, in awe as usual with your work.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Oh, Daniel! I probably should just skip responding to you!!!! LOL. Buddy, you have been literally and figuratively at my side for what...10-12 years? It seems like yesterday that you were helping me with Photoshop and printing. Keep up your own great work.

[@scograham]

Great video! I’m a big fan of your work over the years. It’s good to find you here.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks, Scott. I'm glad that we have connected here too.

[@rrl4245]

Thanks, Rick. Really great 'how-to'. I know that as my techniques for diorama bases have evolved, I've forgotten some of the older, tried and true tricks I had success with in the past - perhaps it's old age, but... In any case, it's great to see others' work, and be reminded of them, as well as shown new ones...

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks for watching! Let's just call them "classic" techniques!!! thanks again.

[@rrl4245]

@@RickLawlerPropaganda I'm all for that. And I've been modeling since I was a child (60 years ago)...

[@patricknoble3090]

Great video Rick! I really enjoyed the final work, and your video style is excellent - really easy for a beginner like me to follow along and learn. Would love to see more especially these dioramas and bases. Great stuff.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks Patrick. Yep, I am working on more content - including dio's and bases.

It turned out amazing. Makes me want to do something like that as well. I like using Das clay for the ground work, its really easy 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Barbarossamodels]

Very nice video & dio Rick, gun & groundwork look great! Time & effort paid off, I echo what you say about using oils👌 I’m sure you’re aware of those heated wire foam cutters. I got one a while ago from Amazon, about £15 & was well worth it - keeps those fingers intact🖐😄

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Hey buddy. Yea, I'm aware of the hotwire cutters. We used large-scale CNC hotwire cutters in my business, but I'm just too lazy to get one for myself. Maybe it's about time?

[@sebastianosterman5056]

That’s amazing. Really great build :) I got really inspired starting a new diorama myself.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Wow! That's really great that you are working on your own. Love to see it, keep us all posted.

[@jamesford7937]

When making your base, what’s the easiest way for you to cut against the grain? A saw? I always make such a mess of making the balsa wood base

[@undeadichi]

i would imagine with balsa wood it would be a fine tooth saw, or if its thin enough a sharp knife

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

I just used a sharp blade here, scored it a few times and then gave it a crack. Thicker balsa I use a fine saw.

[@undeadichi]

amazing results, love the content it really helps seeing the process

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Kinda like watching sausage being made? Seriously, I appreciate that you enjoyed watching and hopefully found something useful that you can use in your own work.

[@undeadichi]

@@RickLawlerPropaganda yeah exactly lol, but i def found it useful and entertaining and love to see more videos from you
