[Closed] A Little Housework.....Art of the Diorama

DUDE !!!! Where & How did you find this -This is so very cool ... I watched every sec - I LIKE IT

I`m so glad you enjoyed it Dennis

I`m subscribed to the creator`s channel on "tube"......it`s almost as satisfying to watch someone put together a masterpiece like this as it is to do a bit of mucking about on your own......even if what you might end up with is only "something a mother could love" :D......the windows and glassed doors he/she made in this video were of special interest to me.......and,as in other similar vids,it always gets me when copper gets painted over !!!!!

OK ... so if it took him 45 min to build .. I can .. ummm ... 3 weeks? .. 3 Years ???

Barry ... I can tell you this ... I may not do this N 2 years ... But I AM going to do at retirement

AND

Like you ... He painted over the copper ... What the heck ??

I was happy with a 1 coat application of paint

.. but noooooooo!!

.. they just had to put 3 - 4 different colors - AMAZING !!

Wonder if they sell these in kits .. or do you buy a multitude of various different bags and sorta design your own thing?

AGAIN ... VERY - VERY cool

Amazing eye for detail!

I got a house in Brookline to sell you:-) ____just like our diecast hobby,there`s always that "one more" item you need to get.......there are catalogs of structural elements,sheet goods such as "plywood" and "corrugated steel",landscape elements,etc etc______many structural elements can be handmade from modified junk you find around the house

____add to that,specialized tools and work holders,portable spray booths,specialized brushes and paints of an almost unlimited selection....

_____a couple dozen water-based acrylic paints with good selection of metallic ones.....some Future Floor wax for making washes.....Krylon #1303 Crystal Clear and Krylon #1311 Matte Finish.....and some very good brushes are enough to begin weathering some of your expendable cars and/or figures to see if this sort of thing appeals to you.....buying these individually,as needed my be more economic.....or......you can buy these items in sets

Vallejo Basic USA Colors Paint Set, 17ml $40.00 - $45.00
Vallejo Metallic Colors, 17ml (Set of 8) $20.00
The Army Painter Wargames Mega Brush Set $45.00

I`m 70 now...if you and I worked on it together until complete,I would live to be 100 !! 🙂

BARRY ... I know we're laughing .. But me thinks you're speaking the truth ... LOL
