Out of fuel and out of luck! A fabulous job and the signage on the base is a great touch! Cheers!
Thanks a bunch!
Fantastic video, thank you for the inspiration! Can’t wait to do a base for my hetzer.
Good luck! Thank you for joining in
Great video! Exactly what i've been looking for😊 Cheers
That’s fantastic! Hope you are enjoying the channel 💪🙏🍀🍻
Non trademarked soil🤣 nice. As always, a great video 🤘
Thank you 🙏 appreciate you joining in and getting my gags 🏆
Love the idea of the information cards around the edge genius
Glad you liked it! Just makes the base a little more functional doesn’t it. Thanks for joining in mate 🙏
I came across your site recently, and am enjoying your videos. Excellent job on the Hetzer and the base!
Hi and thank you for much for your message it really means alot to hear that. Welcome 🥳
Love the Jerrycans, nice touch. BTW “Your hairline from 10 years ago!!“ 😂 too funny❤
Thank you for your support 🙏
Brilliant and simple Clayton! Thanks for sharing! I knew you were in the creative field. Cheers👍🏾
Thanks for joining in. Glad you enjoyed it 🍻
Simple but still effective Dio Clayton, nice one 👍 and the plaques on the side, a really neat finishing touch. Bravo 👏
Thanks. A couple of tricks like that can really lift the display can’t they?
Thanks for connecting 🍻
Really nice base - great use of pigments. I always struggle with those. The elevation of the base works very well too.
Thanks so much 😊
Hi Clayton
Short and sweet, but very effective!
Try using dried out tea leaves (Tea bags) blitzed in food processor and applied in a pepper shaker, more absorbent and to scale instead of dirt/sand mix.
Plus you can use the paper to make tarps etc with a more realistic texture.
Thanks for sharing your great little vignette mate ❤😊
Great idea. I’ll give it a try 🫖
Great video Clayton.
This is turning into the complete modelling channel.
Its just what I needed after buying all the ingredients for some time now I can dip my toe now with some practical knowledge.
All the best Mate.
Thanks Steve. I’m hoping to reach as many modellers as I can, so I’m pleased to hear you feel I’m offering an all round package 🤩💥🍀🍻
Well done, looks great! Cheers Mick.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nicely done! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great diarama, nice groundworkeep modeling.
Thank you very much!
This content is really inspirational. So much so I have ordered some AK terrain dark earth!...I have made a few dioramas in the past but this product looks worth a try. Am really enjoying your style of delivery. You have a real talent of explaining techniques/methods. Many thanks 👍👌.
That’s terrific to hear. I try to make the content accessible and understandable but maintain a decent pace.
Great re the paste. It’s a good product. Most of the other manufacturers have versions of it too. Just remember to keep the lid on tight because it does dry out over time once you open.
Thanks for connecting 💪🙏🍀
@@workbenchhobbies4316 Thanks for the tip mate 👍
Hi Clayton your vignette looks awesome ive only just came across your channel and all the videos you have done look fantastic so I'm going through them i really like how you explain what products you are using and how to use them and that is brilliant for people like me who as only just got back into the hobby after 20 years so thank you very much for all you do for us new modellers. i have also subscribed to your channel. Cheers Gary from the uk 🇬🇧.
Welcome aboard! So pleased you’ve found the channel and have become part of the community 🍀🙏🍻
Hi Clayton I am starting to watch all your previous videos and trying to apply as many of your tips and procedures as I can, I am interested in starting some diorama projects , I have made a few in the past but I was never really happy with the results, but I believe your videos will help.me produce something better. Happy modeling!😊
Hey Gary. My diorama game isn’t that good to be honest and it’s something I’d like to improve on this year. I just find them so time consuming. So pleased to hear you are finding the videos useful. Great news 🙏☝️💪
@@workbenchhobbies4316 they are still better than my attempts and any tips and tricks are useful to me!
🤝 thanks Gary!
Incredible work. Narrated and time stamped. A man after my own heart.
Thank you. I’m trying to run a tight ship with these videos. Appreciate someone is noticing 🍀
Really wonderful work Clayton. I’ve just finished your back catalogue of videos and the quality is as good as your models! The trophy shop is a great idea and the printed designs is a lovely touch. I’m looking forward to what’s next.
So pleased you have found the channel and community. Thanks so much for connecting 🙏🍀🍻💪
Great tutorial!
Thank you again 🙏
Really cool diorama.
Well…I wouldn’t say it was a diorama as such, but I’ll take it 😁 Thanks for joining in 🙏
beautiful work 👌👏
Thanks a lot 😊
A Crackerjack model and base, Clayton!
Thanks buddy. Appreciated 🙏
Really excellent video Clayton!! Great delivery, instructive, easy to follow and well paced. I enjoy your content as it deliver's maximum content in minimal time and it's very inspiring! I'm hoping to get to ScaleACT and catching your presentation. If I can get my A into G, I'm also hoping to enter my 1/48 PANZER 38(t) in the 'Achievement Unlocked' category (first time ever entering a comp) - good incentive to stop my procrastination 😅.
That’s awesome news Andrew! Good for you. Hope to see you there and have a look at your entry👍💥
Hi Clayton.
This was a great tutorial on presenting your model on a simple base. I have done a few that were a bit less professional than your example, but they came out OK I guess.
I recently made a vignette for my young grandson, featuring a German ‘Elephant’ tank hunter on a rural road in what I perceived as Russia. Whilst I was not really happy with it, my grandson was over the moon to receive it for his birthday. His huge grin and the hug I got was worth the effort. Your tutorial has given me some ideas that I will use on my next effort, so thanks for that. Regards the static grass applicator- I made my own using a battery operated flyswatter. I got the idea from one of the model railroad guys on YT, and it works perfectly.
I will also be visiting my local trophy shop for some ideas on bases for future projects. Great episode mate, and the Hetzer looks fantastic. Cheers for now!
Thanks Gary. Being able to share your work and passion with others is a gift. Loved hearing that story. Thanks for sharing 🙏
nice job
Thanks!
Hi Clayton, thanks for sharing this video, it turned out 100% perfectly, what's next on the bench? Best regards from a Kiwi living in Melbourne 👌👍👌👍👌👍
Hello again. Glad you enjoyed it. Next up….🤔 If you were alert through the last video I think I gave it away 🤯😁
Nicely finished off Clayton. The base/model are totally fantastic. My only gripe are the figures, to my eye they don't really seem to blend with the vehicle. The crouching guy looks like hes lost a contact lens and is desperately grovelling through the grass to try and find it using his one good eye. And the standing figure, I can't out if hes about to do a jig or about the surrender. That's my two cents worth. I've still got a few one cent pieces floating around the place if you want some change for my opinion.
Always happy to listen to your feedback. 🪙
Looking great and all, but what is that man looking for kneeling down like that? Did he ever find it?
Are they playing hide and seek?
Great narrative in a small dio!
😂 I’m going with Pokémon 😉🍻
For someone that has no experience in graphic design where would you recommend the go to design cards to put on their bases? I have a local office depot and UPS that I could use to print. Also what paperweight or cardstock would you recommend?
Hey 👋 The first online site that comes to mind would be Canva. It’s all drag and drop and I believe pretty easy to use. They have preset templates too I believe.
My prints were actually on a styrene sheet, but if you wanted to use card the heavier the better. 420gsm or higher…but get creative with it. Even paper with torn and frayed edges could look cool.
Hope that helps 🍀
@@workbenchhobbies4316 Thanks for the info. Just booked marked that site. Will definitely give it a try.
Great job. Are you really applying static grass if you do not zap yourself at least once?
😂😂 you’ve done it too huh 😂😂
😀@@workbenchhobbies4316
perhaps you can have your subs submit a certain type of model and you can add your tips or maybe have a contest? I would love to show off mine to get some feedback (believe me I need it)
Hey there. Maybe best to connect through workbench hobbies through Facebook and do it like that?
I love the idea of a group build or something…would just need to think about how’d I’d facilitate that
While I was examining the inside of my static grass applicator, I accidentally touched the metal part and pressed the ‘on’ button. This sent me flying 2 inches off the ground, and I let out a strange noise.
Trust me…been there, done that. It ain’t pretty! Thanks for sharing. It’s one of those things you only do once huh! 😆
can i ask where you got the tape dispenser from?
Of course. www.bnamodelworld.com.au/u-star-ua-90139-masking-tape-cutter-dispenser-w-5-paint-masking-tapes
Sand from your back yard does not scale well, and looks like gravel when used in a diorama. Use talc powder or baking soda to simulate sand.
I’d love to see your results. Is there somewhere I could see? Will give it a try next time. Thanks for your comments 👍
