In this video tutorial, I show you how to make and assemble a laser cut mdf terrain kit for making realistic miniature building dioramas in 1/24 scale, but can also be applied to 1:12 scale for dollhouses, 1:35 scale for WW2 dioramas, O scale, HO scale, N scale for model railroad layouts. I show you how to paint realistic miniature bricks using acrylic paints, and how to add mortar joints using spackling. I show you how to weather architectural models using acrylic washes. I show you how to assemble miniature windows and doors, and install glass using acetate sheets. I show you how to 3D print and paint your own miniature details, like chairs, tables, cast iron benches. Next, show you how to add working LED lighting to your scale model dioramas, dollhouses, wargaming terrain, model railway scenery, and military WW2 dioramas. I show you how to paint dioramas using spray cans, acrylic paint, acrylic washes, enamel washes, airbrushing. Then, I show you how to paint a brass finish using alclad chrome paints. I show you how to scratchbuild furniture using styrene plastic sheets and strips. After that, I show you how to add architectural details with basswood and balsa wood strips, and dollhouse molding and trim for miniature cornice, baseboard, and more. I show you how to photograph scale models to look realistic in night time lighting, as well as outdoor natural light. I use miniature diecast model cars to add realism in the diorama. Vintage Retro scale model, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s.

    I would love to get into building dioramas. You are very talented! Do you ever watch Luke Towan? He is here in Australia and builds dioramas but mostly of nature scenes or different bits of infrastructure you see everywhere in rural Australia. It's worth checking out if you have never seen his work.

    After carving just hit it with a heat gun to separate the “bricks” more! (Faster)

    Here's some real stone work tips that are the reason walls remain strong : Except corners and openings, a stone should never be taller than it is wide. A stone should always cover the join below by at least as wide as your hand. Avoid long vertical mortar lines.

    Artistic talent videos on CZcams typically just condense dozens or hundreds of hours of tedious work into an impressive video. That shit does not really impress me. There are lots of good artists out there and if they spend a lot of time on a piece it will probably look good. What you did here impresses me. It's quick-ish. Insanely effective. Probably anybody can do it and it looks like you have perfected it. This is awesome work!!

    Could have used hairspray before applying the white paint. Then moisten it to allow the paint to chip away

  • @grandmasmalibu

  • @bewilderbeastie8899

    The overhangs on old buildings like this are actually called "jetties".

  • @Gravedigger933
    @Gravedigger933 Před dnem

    For a more historically accurate stone wall (especially castle walls). Large rectangular stones would be put on the bottom for a strong base. Then in the middle, longer flatter stones are used. And finally at the top the smaller stones are used because they are the lightest and won't collapse the entire wall from too much weight.

  • @WoodsPrecisionArms

    I still say having the camera from inside one of the shops looking out as if the perspective sitting at a table and roll a car by outside - it would look so boss!

    This is how they made rocks back in the middle ages, aluminum foil really changed the game

  • @Twiddle_things
    @Twiddle_things Před 2 dny

    Using this as inspiration for my NMS build(s). Sooooo pretty!!! I have so many beautiful archipelago planets with blue skies, blue seas, and gorgeous white sand, but 0 ideas on what to build! Your dioramas are so detailed and motivate me to get back to designing and building xD

  • @giorgiodipalma9922

  • @pjwarez
    @pjwarez Před 2 dny

    I don't think you ever mentioned, (unless I just missed it) but what scale is this model? Edit: Found it, 1/24th.

    • @smolworldworkshop
      @smolworldworkshop Před 22 hodinami

      Yes 1/24 is correct! In fact, everything I’ve built for the channel so far is 1/24 scale. Thanks for watching!

  • @bobyboom9437
    @bobyboom9437 Před 2 dny

    It's fine to show everything that is being made in detail. But why don't you all show the finished final product? fast cut !!!

  • @shawnhawkins33
    @shawnhawkins33 Před 2 dny

    Very nice work. A lot of old houses like this had a large beam protruding from under the ridge to attach a block and tackle for moving furniture upstairs.

    @djmarkham9762 Před 2 dny

  • @KodiakDunne

    you should put some candle lights inside the build so you can make the windows glow and look lived in

    I think aluminium ball can be replaced on natural rock. When i tried with aluminium it just scratched and pierced my styrofoam

  • @MiniArtmy
    @MiniArtmy Před 3 dny

    Very nice result, great job! Tips: try to use electrostatic deposit of grass, it helps to have vertical grass with a very nice random deposit of it (I have one video of a WW2 diorama that explain it). Good job again!

  • @thommothommo1520
    @thommothommo1520 Před 3 dny

    Why the grey dry brushing and the cover with the spackle? Doesn't that negate the dry brush coat?

  • @kathihammerstrom2045

    Cool! Where do you find the pink foam?

    • @smolworldworkshop
      @smolworldworkshop Před 3 dny

      I got mine from Home Depot! I think you can also order it off Amazon. Just type in something like “pink xps foam” and there should be a variety of thicknesses

  • @jcire4785
    @jcire4785 Před 3 dny

    I only know it wasn't real because you showed how to create a peeling paint effect and a styrofoam brick chimney in previous posts. Amazing, though. Love it
