  • I've had several comments now telling me that Aalst is a Belgian town, which is correct, but please be aware that there is also an Aalst in the Netherlands, which is just south of Eindhoven and is where the photos shown at the start of the video were taken👍
    Here is a Google maps link for the location of the Dutch village of Aalst which you can see at the bottom below the words 'Van der Valk Hotel Eindhoven'👍

    Your work is incredible!!! One thing. If you've ever demolished a brick wall you would know they never all come down whole. You should've broke some of them up a bit.

    Besides having the skills, experience, the material, the tools the most important thing is... patience.

    @codacreator6162 Před rokem +3

    I modeled a bit as a kid (Revell had some kind of Model of the Month Club) for a couple of years. We thought we were cool building “scrap” models from leftover parts. Beyond just getting the kits together and maybe a bit of spray for auto bodies, I never really did much. This was all WAY back. Not sure how I started watching diorama builds, but the detail work and the meticulous attention to getting it all right is somehow both relaxing and inspirational to me. I can assure you I won’t be trying anything this ambitious (I’m much too savvy for that), but I will continue to explore creative outlets in wood. Weird, huh?
    Another big plus is that I’m a huge World War II buff and enjoy very much getting into the daily stories of the war in Europe, especially. Thanks for finishing this up. It turned out absolutely amazing. Great work!

    The house in particular, as mentioned by others, is stunning!
    As for the foam, as others ask, if in Europe, look for AK foam, they do have a few varieties. I'll be using their Construction foam for a dio I'm working on.
    Green Stuff World also has some foam.
    And then of course on Leroy-Merlin and other stores of this kind, they do have different kinds of foam, XPS, EPS, the choice depends on what we want to do with it.
    Wish you a great New Year!

      @@CWModelling Yes, XPS is what I'm using for the base of my dio ;)
      I got a couple of AK Construction foam just for making the ruins, I think it will be easier to work with it than with the XPS (at least the one I got, blue, not gray like yours, maybe it's a different kind, IDK, got this one on the local Leroy-Merlin... Funny cause on this Leroy-Merlin, the EPS they have is kind of light gray).
      For the main base the XPS I got is great indeed ;)
      Yours looks pretty good too for the house ruins, I don't think I'd be able to build the ruins with mine.

You've got a very keen eye for minute detail and this gives your scene even more authenticity. This is the first of your work I've seen. I'm so glad I caught this.

I'm ex-RAAF and, surprise, mostly do aircraft of WW2 and Korea onward. I'm a military historian which keeps me busy. The closest I've come to a diorama are flight line patches of taxiway and runways. The only structure I've tackled is the gaping 'mouth' of a large aircraft maintenance hangar, done from memory of a RAAF hangar that I know was built during WW2 at RAAF Forest Hill, near Wagga Wagga, NSW. Looking back on that build; mine looks like a tarpaulin lean-to compared to your buildings! ;) All the best and I'm glad the CZcams algorithm recommended your video.
