Today at Badgerworks we build the crash site diorama for our wrecked Airfix Spitfire, with water effects, a nice, grassy bank with flowers, and a river bed made of cat litter...
After catastrophic engine trouble, our intrepid pilot is forced to crash land his Spitfire, sliding it through a river, hitting a boulder and ending up in the bank. After unsuccessfully trying to fix the radio to call for help, our man hitches up his britches and sets off to the inevitable derision of his mates.
We're calling this one "A Long Walk Home".

I love a good diorama. It isn't just the illustration of an historical event in 3-dimensions, but the artistry and craftsmanship involved in making one.
Indeed. I'm getting more into diorama making - I think it really adds a lot rather than just having a model on its own.
Bumped into this just now and love it. Not made models for 40 years and this gives me a lot of happy memories.
Good old pound shop! Improvisation to the max.
Thanks for watching :-)
Nice work
Seriously, one of the best how to make a diorama tutorial that I’ve seen. Thank you!
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Amazing craftsmanship, Look forward to seeing more.
Rather a splendid effort I must say. The effects came out really good.
Simply Amazing! You've got me thinking about my own dioramas now :P
Model Minutes same
The amount of detail in your work is just extraordinary!
Thanks for watching :-)
the attention to detail is a joy to watch. What a beautiful piece of work.
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
That came out a real treat, some very interesting water affects there. A beautifully presented Spitfire on it's last day. Very Well Done.
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Well done sir!. The attention to detail is amazing!
Wow very amazing looking bud that craftsmanship 10 out of 10
Thanks :-)
As someone who doesn't typically sit through lengthy videos, I can't believe I watched the whole thing from beginning to end. Very well done. Good presentation, editing & entertainingly engaging.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm always a little concerned at the length of the videos, but I've been told people like the longer viewing time.
Most lengthy video just drone on and on. Having myself been an editor in the Television industry, I typically fast-forward to just the highlights & relevant/interesting parts in most videos. You were able to achieve that directly with your concise editing that kept the video moving along very nicely & quickly from one part to the next, with just enough detail to learn from but not letting the presentation slow down. Again well done.
That's good to hear, thanks. One of the problems I found when I first got back into modelling was trying to find information on how people did things. I've watched many videos of very highly skilled builders, but they don't always show how they get the amazing results they do. That was the reason I started this channel - so I could share the information I found to others in the same boat as me. It does mean that sometimes the videos need to be a bit longer than what is normal for this kind of channel, but I don't want to miss anything out.
I must confess I'm in the business too, but normally in front of the camera rather than behind it, so editing is still a bit of a learning curve for me. It's gratifying to hear from someone who knows what they're doing that I'm heading the right way :-)
A marvelous piece of art. Thanx for sharing. 👍👍
Thank you for watching :-)
Great Tutorial! Really enjoyed this presentation. Looking forward to more! Cheers.
Thanks :-)
Love your wrecked plane...and your wonderful job on the ground, realistic and atmospehric...
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Brilliantly done, A Long Walk Home, with Bill to follow 😂
Brilliant. I really enjoyed watching both videos of how this came together! 👍
Thanks :-)
Outstanding job on the diorama. Learned something new with the use of the foil for the wing. Beautiful diorama.
Always got to love the very clean wreck diorama's.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Great result. Looks absolutely fantastic.
Never stop please, your videos are amazing
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
You’re videos are what inspired me to make my own wreck scenes. Bravo!
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Great scenery. I hope the pilot is OK..:=) A detail about the machine guns though : this type of aircraft carried 0.303 guns. The ones you put in are Browning M2's in .50 caliber.
The Spitfire carried .303 Browning MGs. These guns are sold by Eduard as both .50 and .30 cal.
Thanks for watching :-)
Well done for this excellent diorama which is a work of art!!!
Thanks, I appreciate it.
That does look convincing, a great display piece.
This is an excellent model and looks very realistic. Great job!
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Couple resin tips, our shop also has no heater so we made a resin box from some thick foam insulation and stuck a 25 watt bulb in top that keeps it a good constant temp.
There's also tape called flashbreaker that's a bit pricey, but resin doesn't doesn't stick to it at all.
As a potential third, if you do resin pours in this size square grid frequently it would be good to make a "box" of 4 pieces you can put together with screws to get crisp square edges. Some packing tape on the inside will make it non stick too.
Good tips, thanks :-)
Great diorama... really enjoyed this informative video.. now gonna watch the vid for the making of the spitfire, thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Incredible work. Just shows what someone with some skill can achieve along with a good imagination, where anything is possible.
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Excellent diarama . Full marks on this one 👍
Excellent results!!!!
Creative talent... well done!!!!
Thanks :-)
Well done. you have given me a few ideas now on how to do my diorama thanks
Great pair of videos, fàntastic job, i just keep on learning, thank god you don't charge for your time, can't wait for the next one.
That's why I make the videos - to pass on things I learned when I got back into modelling. Just happy to help out in my own small way.
Thanks for watching.
This is amazing! The attention to detail is superb!!😊
Thanks :-)
Looks great mate! really nice Diorama and some great tips and tricks! Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
I had to pause the video to stop laughing once your cat litter gravel experiment dried. Good fun, beautiful diorama
Skraith penis 😂
Lol
glad im the only one who thought it looked like a big knob lol
I know right 😄
Weirdoooooooo
The gravel for the experiment was a lovely shape
that cat litters colour is perfect after you put the glue on, looks like real river rocks
Isn't it though? I was very pleased with how that came out. I would have been happy with just the plain grey, but the glue just made it come alive :-)
I love all the details and the paint jobs man!! Good Job!
Thanks :-)
Beautiful work!
Total Awesomeness....
That was fantastic to watch and it got me thinking about dioramas I could do.
As a modeler, this is so awesome to view. Wonderful job SteamGeezer. When you guys eliminate all doubt & hurdles on what to use & how to use it, it really helps to spur others on to projects like this & others. I love model life in this time period.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I started this channel after getting back into modelling after many years and found it difficult to find the info I needed, so after I figured things out largely for myself, I thought I'd make the videos that would have been useful to me back then.
Thanks for watching.
I must say, that generic cat litter turned out to looked exactly like river rocks in my opinion. Great job overall. It is a BEAUTIFUL diorama.
Thanks, I appreciate it. The cat litter is really odd - it goes from a generic grey to a nice varied tone once the scenery glue goes on.
Looks great, did a quick check of your others, a big step up, hope you do more like this.
You're a magician!
I am a modeller, but primarily a Star Wars costumer, and use both the pastels and cheap cat litter as cheap weathering media, so brilliant to see both used here (linking the use of pastels for weathering in you previous video showing the build and painting/weathering of the model).... brilliant as ever sir...
I used both pastels and the cat litter to weather my son's Fallout Vault suit we made for him - it's very versatile stuff :-)
Thanks for watching.
@@SteamGeezerUK Exactly - highly versatile media that scale really well - models kits, model railways and also 1:1 cosplay/costumes, and much cheaper than commercial versions, but just as effective, and allow for custom mixing - fab. Keep up the feeds and videos as fantastic inspiration... :-)
That's art!
Absolutly amazing 😱😱👍👍
Thanks :-)
Jolly good show old chap !!
thanks bro, my first resin exposure...very interesting and convincing...
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This is simply amazing well done SteamGeezer! I'm also glad to hear the vision in your mind, is what we see in this video. Its simply a work of art this diorama.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
A very nice job and a bloody well done!
Thanks :-)
Wow amazing... Well Done!
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
That's cool dude!!!👍
Just brilliant 👍
Thanks :-)
Great job, mate.
Thanks :-)

Only recently stumbled across your work....just brilliant, and very inspiring. Cheers very much :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Fantastic diorama fella! Only just found your channel, really informative and a massive source of hints and tips will definitely be watching more. Cheers
Thanks, I appreciate it. One of the reasons I started this channel was to pass on some of the things I learned the hard way after returning to the hobby after 30 years, to try and save others some of the hassle I had.
Good to know it's working :-)
Subbed! Can't believe I've only just found your channel! Nice diorama :)
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Very good video, clearly explained and well photographed.
and also fantastic video editing. PS> Really nice modelling too.

Fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍
"that I blitzed in a blender" my favourite quote ever
Thanks :-)
Wow just wow
Amazing
Oh, I miss those old Citadel hex pots. Fantastic paints, the whole range.
I've had those for years. I've even got the older round pots too :-)
Mandatory instant and follow! Superb job! It has answered many of my questions about dioramas and what the heck to do with old models gone wrong. :)
Thanks. Happy to be of help :-)
@@SteamGeezerUK The problem was I had no idea how to start a diorama for my broken models, thannxx to your video I know what materials I can use and how to apply them
Absolutely spectacular. Love your work. I'm glad I found your channel. Very informative. Keep up the great work. Cheers.🇺🇸
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Stunning job mate. Great attention to detail.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Wow this is amazing. So impressive to a modelling beginner even at 30yo! Therapeutic viewing too :)

Jakob Stachon And in English that means? 😂
Would ‘ve preferred to see a crashed BF109 with a Spit in the air! lol!
Superb display, good informative commentary-and you made it look easy! !
Great piece, , , . So glad I found you .
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Yeah!
Incredibly good. I do think the leading edge of the wing would have crumpled when it hit the rock but at this stage that's probably just nit picking on my part.
Regards, David.

Even the smallest thing... will be painted and placed carfuly. Even tho 0.4% of the people seeing this will see that
Very true. It's interesting that so many modellers will spend hours painting and fitting parts that will never be seen on the completed model but, as I have said often myself, "I know it's there" :-)
Thanks for watching.
Nice build and vid process :)
Thanks, I appreciate it :-)
Get a wee pilot walking off in distance to end of your wee path with a helmet on the wing haha
A few other people have said that and I think it's a fair point. I've been trying to include more figures in my dioramas because they do indeed make it come to life more.
I loved it
Thanks :-)
I.am.speechless!
Thanks :-)
Awesome
I enjoyed this video so much you just got yourself a new sub!👍
