    I am an architecture student, and my graduation topic is one castle in my country, and I have to make a model of this castle to graduate. and your videos are like a library, like a light at the end of the tunnel called college. i have so much inspiration from you.... i am deeply moved that your channel exists

Also it was really cool to see Hansi try painting and all that, I love videos where we see both of you and how you complete each other's work.
    I've only done one tiny """diorama""" as a kid after watching art attack but your channel is really making want to try and make something of my own!

      Another thing I love about this channel is the comments - they're always so wholesome and supportive; you see people everywhere lifting each other up and encouraging them - which, in social media these days is becoming increasingly rare. This whole channel, everything they create, and everything they stand for is to me, the pinnacle of what CZcams _should_ be about. Long may Nerdforge, continue!
      Idk about you, but I find the most difficult thing about embarking on a project is often the overriding fear of Just Getting Started, and all the conversations in our head convince us it will come out rubbish or we just can't do it. I really hope you have found a way to get over any initial resistance - if not, this little nudge is to encourage you to begin.

The diorama itself is the most incredible piece - the details are truly insane! Well done!!

    I've actually been playing this game, and can easily say that this diorama captures the feel so well, both of the game as a whole, and the reference image as well; while still having a unique flair of your own style and personality.
    Some of the other comments call out your immense skill at walking and talking through your steps, and your wonderful and encouraging demeanor and bright personality (not to mention awesome hair) - I agree completely. You really give inspiration for anyone who wants to try their hand at it, that they could have a go at this, and with practice and effort, create something to be proud of - even if it may take a long time to get on your level!
    I would also add my compliments on the incredible cinematography and editing of your videos. You always capture such great shots, and the "final result" segments are such a masterclass of evocative pans, interesting cuts, and... just, yeah. Bravo.
    I have rapidly come to realize that the variety and level of skills you display, both each personally, and as a channel, bring home the idea of true "renaissance creators."
    Keep it up you guys! Amazing work!

The cork sheet worked really well as the asphalt street. Great idea. I still have some cork left from the trumpet wah/wah mute I fixed many years ago.
    The details were to die for. Especially the small beer bottle and the many plants and greenery. You guys outdid yourselves on this one.

I was on a break. lol Any way I was about to fix it when the director saw it an said "Leave it like that it will add more realism to the set." That's when I told everyone I did it. lol Your windows reminded me of that. I love watching you guys. You both are the most interesting on You tube.

But this one, it hit me on so many levels, the tiny neon signs, the composite board street, the miniatures painted by that awesome woman I immediately paused the video to go follow, mushing the broken up popsicle sticks in ink and paint to make them look exactly like rotten wood, the graffiti, everything. Literally everything put into this project made me so happy and excited to see how it turns out. I hope this channel continues for many many more years.

    Incredible work. I feel like I say that every time but I’m blown away every time, too! The details are incredible and it actually has that feeling of dread looking around the abandoned street, the broken windows where anything could be hiding, alleyways and doors where things lurk. And then the little signs of life - The bar and the leftover bottles, the lights still working. Credit to Hansi for the lights as they look perfect 👍 Definitely a quality build and lots of great tips for others to try on their own dioramas.
    For a future project I think you need to jazz up that clock you use to track build times! A really awesome NerdForge clock that you can proudly display off to the side as you work! It could either be fantasy based in wood and magical lights, in cyber punk neons, or like todays post apocalyptic style. I know you both would come up with something epic.

      I also thought what if when you started a project you had a button on the clock and it would keep counting until you hit the stop button and it would show you how many days/hours/minutes the build took. You could either start the clock every time you started working on it for the day, or just have it always counting into you finished the project. Just a thought 💭

    Actually happens everytime I watch Martina and Hansi doing a project

    By far one of my favorite builds by you guys. Amazing work. By looking at your hands I can yell you all busted your butts trying to get this done. Very cool, I love the lights and the miniature stuff. All Amazing. Love it, and the game looks like so much fun.

    That cork asphalt idea was straight genius - I think one of the most impressive things about what you guys do is look at a finished product and figure out (down to the tiniest detail) how you'd construct it. Incredible

    A sheet of sandpaper could also be used for a road and painted to the desired effect and you can also choose how course it is to fit in with the chosen scene E.G. sand/gravel path more course, smooth asphalt road more fine

    • @bri8661
      @bri8661 Před rokem +1

      Especially the already black sheets for asphalt. I will say that an even paint job might be hard and a wash would be really difficult to do since paper towels will still to the more coarse sand papers, but a 320 would work fine.

    One of the (many!) things I like about watching you guys work your magic is how, despite having *so* much experience, you keep trying new things, finding new ways to do things, and finding new uses for things you're already using (e.g., corkboard for asphalt, those way-cool "neon" lights).

      I agree. It's no surprise they have such a huge - and dedicated - following. They're the best example imo of 'how youtube _should_ be done'. Even their ad/sponsor moments are creative and interesting.
      No clickbait titles, no ridiculously long intro banging on about shitty merch and telling people to 'like and subscribe' before they've even _watched_ anything. Just consistently outstanding content, brilliantly creative minds, engaging delivery, and superb execution and payoff. YT needs more creators like them Bravo! 🥳🏆

    @ProjectCambrian Před 2 lety

    Years ago I spent some time doing various Wall Murals for hair salons, restaurants and residential rooms, like kids rooms and the like.
    Several walls I did in the hair salon were Egyptian themed and because of the sheer size of these wall pieces I needed a short cut to achieve stone like texture with the paint.
    I used regular Big Can Wall Paint.
    EGG SHELL Finish specifically.
    All indoor wall paint is, is Acrylic Paint! Just a thicker pigment concentration than standard Art acrylic paint.
    A large can of Brown paint plus a small can of Black and a another small can of White and a myriad of small tubs of art acrylics and I had everything I needed for all those Egyptian sculptures to be textured.
    The wall paints mix Extremely well with even Dollar Store Art acrylic paints. For large scale projects like this Post Apocalyptic City Scape, I'd be using Egg Shell acrylic wall paint for all your major stone and cement textured surfacing.
    Easy short cut and a little paint goes a long way making a big can supply last a long time. Keep some stor sticks handy to give the paint a stir if it's been sitting for a while, or even pop down to the paint shop and have them shake mix it again to freshen it up before use.
    The larger the project, the better the deal by swapping out a few materials here and there can still go a long way.
