  • My friends, miniature buildings are a very exciting part of any diorama. They offer us many exciting and different textures, and a whole new bunch of painting and weathering techniques! But their biggest downside is their size, and soon enough we can start running out of space. So why not take the best out of this concept and put it in a picture frame?

    Remeber kids: All you need is +30 years old black ink! - Dear Martin, it amazes me what you can do new to the most common things. Very creative, very new and also kind of quick (and dirty from the ink). I started following you for your modeling skills - no so much because you do armor. Today i congratulate myself being so smart to stick with you. Im even looking forward for the next tank!

    I'm a bricklayer in canada and the way that you varied the brick color in sections is perfect. When bricks are placed on the scaffold they come on pallets so that sections of wall will get that pallet with a few leftovers raised up to the next section. One might get a few pallets from the same batch number so they'll be really close in color but if not from the same batch number the colors will be slightly off just as you've shown. We'll done 👏👌👏

    That was a master class in XPS modeling. The Tamiya putty as sealer could be a game changer for many people, and that styrene "plywood" sheet is also brilliant. In fact the whole vid was stuffed with fantastic techniques. Bravo, sir.

    Inspirational stuff, Night Shift. I've found a good splosh of homemade acrylic thinner, half again of cheap liquid PVA glue and a few teaspoonfuls of cheap finishing plaster filler to consistency of thickish paint does wonders. Dry with a heat gun if you're impatient and recoat if you want. It leaves a hard 'plaster' like (lol) surface which is just begging to be painted. I mix up enough for a small plastic shot glass which I reckon is about 10 pence a shot rather than £6.00 a tube of commercial stuff. Try it with other glues too! Best of luck.

    Results are spectacular as expected with your always excellent projects. Just wanted to share that AK Interactive has precut styrofoam and how-to books for this subject. They even sell facade kits for those interested in trying these projects.

    For me it is a miracle when people can recreate what they see. I can not even draw a straight line. Great art.

    • @AvoidingtheQuestion
      @AvoidingtheQuestion Před 5 měsíci +2

      As a professional artist, let me reassure you that no one can draw a straight line. The human species has invented all sorts of tools to overcome our shortcomings, such as a straight edge (or holding shift if drawing on the computer.)

    It’s like, I want to watch what you create, yet feel so insecure as I know I will never have that much talent to even warrant trying it.
    Put this video off for so long, just watched it and I’m like how, just how..
    You are an amazing talent sir.. much respect

  • @p.bckman2997
    @p.bckman2997 Před 6 měsíci +11

    It is _so_ nice to see every 2nd rows of bricks laid short side out! This is the standard for brick constructions actually made from bricks, and not just faced with bricks. A proper brick wall is two bricks thick. There are several ways to ensure stability for suck a wall, the every 2nd row across is called "English bond", but there are many other types, like Garden bond (every 4th row across), Flemish bond, Monk bond etc.

I love the way you catch the history, the life of an ordinary object by studying how to replicate effects like koisture on walls, or the moss, the corroded metals... it´s like seen those natural things happening on fast forward.
