Just finished a tiny ruin for a diorama. Tiny corner, added some board floor, now its all covered with rubble *SIGH* never underestimate the work you gotta put into random chaos!

You're absolute right! And "random" is really hard to do :)

Amazing job! I love the use of sculptamold to build up the pile, and the paint work is very realistic!

Just finishing my diorama (Warsaw uprising 1944) I bought some amazing rubble stuff from DioDump, much better than my poor efforts at rubble piles. But watching you I think I might have a go at this myself.

@ModelNerd 6 ай бұрын

The DioDump stuff is good, but quite expensive for what you get. I'd recommend brick molds from Diorama Debris. It doesn't matter what you put in them (plaster, sculptamold) or how good the mix is - in fact, a poor quality, dry plaster mix gives a more damaged, worn look to the bricks. One of the best small tools I bought.

Ok, thank you for that, I will have a look after attempting your way 👍

Here in Canada we have the same product and we call it Celluclay. And I find it great to work with. But it should be sealed after it dries.

It's a really handy product, isn't it?

Very versatile base! Simple and realistic. Sometimes less is really more with dioramas!

Another great video, the mini diorama sets off all of your models to good effect, just goes to show how a little work enhances model kits.

Most excellent. Love using sculptamold. Brilliant product. Such an effective outcome. You can only make complex diorama bases so often as an average modeller.

Nicely done - we do need more rubble in our dioramas... (look at period photos)

The base looks great! I was wondering where to set my T-60 artillery tractor (The miniart kit), and a city scene was considered,just all the videos I found had a lot of different products that I don't have, but you included literally everything I have at home. Now I can make this great diorama! Thanks for it,and can't wait to see the final result for the halftrack!

Thanks mate. Yes, I try to keep it simple for things like this. I was really happy with the colour tones I could achieve with just the three base colours.

@KGmodels 6 ай бұрын

@@ModelNerd That is what I feel like,sometimes less tones is better,for example on figures I literally just prefer a base,a folds/shadow colour,and a highlight,and I just prefer it more simple,and I guess same applies here!

Great video and tips as always. Just curious where you source your period photos which you often use. Thanks so much.

Thank you. I use a variety of sources - Wikipedia often has some; WikiMedia Commons usually has more, and WorldWarPhotos often has many too, well categorised.
