Hey Neil, thanks as always bud 🙂👍

[@derekwalton6498]

Great technique and application of various materials. Love the way you use every inch of the diorama to ‘tell a story’. Thank you.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks Derek, appreciated 🙏 I always try to avoid any 'dead space' on the dio's, easier when the base was a bit smaller too - just needed a little planning to get everything down in the right place. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@frankmike9931]

Nice work. Look into using Mod Podge as an adhesive. You can thin it out and mist your groundwork vegetation with a pump sprayer verses hairspray. Comes in both matte and gloss.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thank you! I’ve seen many people using that in the past so might give it a go then....cheers👍

[@colinkavanagh7625]

I LOVED THE STORY THE DIORAMA TELLS...

Thanks you Joachim, happy with how its developing so far - appreciate the feedback 🙏

Super work mate

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks bud! 😀

[@bobahnert9213]

Nice!!! Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thank you Bob...👍

[@HalidonDioramas]

Very nice, great use of height to make up for the small footprint, I will be looking forward to seeing this develop 👍

[@Barbarossamodels]

Cheers bud! One of the things I remember when starting out & reading Verlinden books was they said to add levels to a scene when possible - to improve interest & detail etc... So with the smaller rectangular base......🙂👐

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Excellent work! I like the layout, the multiple levels reallly add interest. Looking forward to seeing this finished! Oh, and thanks for that link, some really nice stuff.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks for that Jerry, that website does have some nice stuff you're right... get the imagination running....💡💭💭

Thank you Michael....🙂👍

[@andrewshaw8396]

Great stuff! I look forward to the next installment. Changing heads to suit the story makes a huge difference - nicely done. Particularly interested in how those nettles turn out.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Cheers Andrew..., gotta love Hornet Heads to improve a dio & tell a story...👍 A little surprised with the nettles, some wire & 'felt type' leaves in the box, but no information....guide or advice how to best put them together....😩 Maybe it's pretty obvious, but for the price, a brief drawing would help.... Thanks for commenting 🙂

[@robbo1068]

Another amazing build in the offing.....you create such realistic scenes using basic materials....great job and inspiring to boot. You deserve your 5000 subs and here's more to come...congratulations!!!

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thank you Robert!! Really appreciate that bud 👏🙂

[@philRminiatures]

Excellent job with impressive and realistic details!👍

[@Barbarossamodels]

Cheers Phil, thanks as always fir the feedback 😁👍

[@garylawless3608]

Brilliant concept! I was blown away by the ‘Ghosts of the Past’ diorama, but this looks really interesting as well. Love your work, and I have subscribed to your channel, so I’m looking forward to seeing the final result on this and future work. Cheers from Australia.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Hi Gary, thanks bud 👍 Really pleased you're enjoying the builds, the project after this one is something different for me......plenty of scratchbuilding(s)😁 Cheers for the sub too....greetings from Jersey!

[@terryg3243]

Magic love your work...you inspire me to model.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks Terry, appreciate that 👍

[@markedwards5106]

Love your videos, the content and presentation is first class, you enjoy your craft and it comes across in every diorama.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thanks Mark, yeah you're right I do enjoy the videos nearly as much as the modeling itself.....it's nice to know they're appreciated, cheers bud 🙂👍

[@MottysMilitaryModels]

Hi Si, great update. I love it. I've got that figure book plus the modelling one they did for vehicles I think. I also bought that Ak book on vegetation. Just sunnit else to help us learn more. Some of the ideas in that book are superb and so simple. Hope your all OK? Looking forward to the next update

[@Barbarossamodels]

Hi Steve, thanks mate 🙂👍 Haven't really had the chance yet to look through the AK book properly, but it is full of great details. As you say, always looking to improve techniques with these books....whether things actually look like they do in the books are a different matter....😏😞 Hope you're well too, cheers bud!

[@Echoes-from-the-War-Room]

Where did you find the book? I can only find it online in French :(

Congrats on 5000 mate! Always love to see what you come up with next. Keep going, that dio looks amazing already, even without the figures on it lol

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thank you 🙏 Pleased you enjoy the builds, with this one wanted the chance to practice some vegetation, still a lot more to add 👍

Fantastic video. Thankyou for sharing. Would you mind sharing where you got the foam from? I cannot find any that thick. Cheers. Oops just seen the links in the comments.

[@Barbarossamodels]

😁….Hi thank you, yeah it came from 4D Model Shop in London, great modelling materials store if you ever get the chance to visit. But have mail ordered from them too in the past - well worth a look👍

[@senlac1000]

Hi! New subscriber here. Impressive, looking forward to the finished product.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Cheers Adrian, thanks for the sub👍

[@hamm6035]

I've seen several accounts from German infantry, Russian infantry, ect. that rockets left such smoke marking the position that it very quickly drew return artillery fire. So those on foot or in positions could only duck and pray while the rocket launchers moved on down the road out of the barrage.

[@Barbarossamodels]

Cheers for that, makes sense.... as you know the power & force of those rockets were incredible.... I’ll be sure the crew don’t hang about there too long then...😁👍

[@rcsnapon2132]

Awesome video I enjoyed watching I also subscribed to you to my friend

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thank You! 👍

[@rcsnapon2132]

Anytime my friend

[@madcat1007]

Would you recommend the Go Change foam cutter set?

[@Barbarossamodels]

Hi, yes definitely! I’ve not used it that much since this model, but when I have its really quick & easy to use. There’s a couple of different hot wires in the box depending on what you need it for, but I’ve only ever used the one & it’s been great. So much better than heating a craft knife with a blow torch which I’d done previously. Think the price was pretty good too👍

[@stefanotrastulli5810]

Congratulations for this diorama!!! What kind of grass you specifically used in this diorama? Thank you

[@Barbarossamodels]

Thank you Stefano, not 100% sure on the grass, just some I’ve collected over the years. It would be something very similar to this kinda thing:- www.amazon.co.uk/Large-Value-pack-Green-Static/dp/B0002OHB1A/ref=pd_day0_hl_21_2/261-5293188-1571867?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0002OHB1A&pd_rd_r=bb74f7dc-2acb-4ad5-8322-16c4ca1dbd88&pd_rd_w=Y7RTJ&pd_rd_wg=270Tn&pf_rd_p=6b44b646-25d4-45e9-ab4a-a9115caba534&pf_rd_r=WS0TGVGHG4WP958KA96N&psc=1&refRID=WS0TGVGHG4WP958KA96N

[@paulfunnell66]

Hi there, I've been subscribed to your channel for a while, firstly, brilliant!!! Love the whole presentation from the background behind the build right through to the excellent completion. Very interesting and watchable. You just need to speed up so I can watch more haha. I build dioramas and have just purchased the foam cutter from this video and wondered which foam you use? I use celotex, but yours seems denser and more suitable to the heat cutter. Love to hear what you use, keep up the excellent work. All the best, paul

[@Barbarossamodels]

Hi Paul..., thank you for that, really pleased you’re enjoying the builds...🙏 I got the foam from 4D models in London (brilliant shop🙂), here’s a link to the foam in the video:- modelshop.co.uk/Shop/Raw-Materials/Styrofoam/Item/Styrofoam-dark-grey/ITM7957 Hope that helps, I’m sure a quick google search will find it elsewhere too. Thanks again for the feedback....., will try & hurry things up a little next time...😆😆👍 Cheers!

[@ethanthereenactorguy4829]

What was the very first song? The Slavic folk sounding one.

[@Barbarossamodels]

It's called 'Russian Dance', it's a KZbin audio library tune. Here's the link, then just "'search":- kzbin.info

[@EdGrzetich]

Just brilliant! Is the plaster you use especially for modelling or is it as you'd get for home repairs?

[@Barbarossamodels]

Cheers Ed👍 The plaster is just a cheap DIY brand to be honest...(B&Q in the UK), .it doesn’t shrink when dried or crumble. I think there’s maybe more substantial modelling plasters available, but this ‘cheap & cheerful’ dry mix plaster has always worked well for me! 🙂

[@alanwinkley8811]

Love the music at the beginning. Please could you tell mevwhatvit is.

Hi Alan, it’s called ‘Russian Dance’ from the KZbin Audio Library....here’s the link:- kzbin.infomusic?nv=1

Does that foam smell when you cut it with the cutter?

Hi Verne, it does smell of burning a little, like burning plastic, but it's not too bad....😦 🔥

[@paulbryson1692]

look what the cat dragged in meant someone unexpected not unwelcome

[@Barbarossamodels]

I guess it’s all down to interpretation Paul, for me it could mean either👍
