      You know, if you're gonna do a diorama with water, you might aswell go all out and do a fording test like some experiental tank at Aberdeen or a tiger II at the Henschel plant.

    @ColonelSandersLite Před 3 lety +247

    You say that was a disaster but you know - the tannin from leaves actually do leach into patchy slushy snow making a dirty mess IRL so the end result seems pretty alright to me. So I would say it's a Bob Ross style happy little accident.

    • @NightShiftScaleModels
      @NightShiftScaleModels  Před 3 lety +53

      I dunno... I spend a lot of time in the forest even when it snows and I haven't ever noticed something like that. Maybe it happens in very small amounts, not like what happened here. Next time I'll give the Gravel fixer several hours to fully dry so it won't happen again :)

    While watching you forget how tiny the whole piece is because of the great amount of detail. It's fantastic. I haven't the skill to make something as amazing as this, so it's almost painful to watch. As I'd give almost anything to have a piece of Art like this to display in my home. I particularly love the Stug. III AUSF. B, it was an amazing weapon that was greatly underestimated during the war, and caused severe damage to the Allied forces. Anyhow, it's a great diorama. I'm envious.

    "Don't eat yellow snow!" I wouldn't see the discolouration as a problem. Wet fallen leaves have the same effect on snow in nature, so that was rather a "happy accident" (RIP Bob Ross). In the end it's a nice diorama with the cutest StuG I ever saw.
