Building An Old Industrial Warehouse From Styrofoam (Part 1)

Рік тому

My friends, how about another styrofoam building, but this time with cinderblocks and cracked plastered walls?

Dude you really have helped me develop a love for modeling again. I just kind of fell out of it but your videos brought me back and taught me some great techniques too. Much love from South Africa.

@yunggrilledcheese6974 Рік тому

Same here! Now I buy a new tank or military kit everytime i finish one 😂 I think I need to hold off on spending so much money on them for a while

Cinder blocks are quite commonly used in the UK. I grew up near a power station, and the ash from the boilers was used to make finder blocks in a nearby factory.

Thank you for showing each part separately. As a beginner diorama builder and learn so much from watching your channel.

In this mad situation in our country your videos are helping me alot. Sorry for the politics.. you really helped me get back to modelling, one of the few things that can bring some light to my life.. Thank you! ❤️

Hey uncle, I would be interested in seeing you do a Vietnam war tank such as a Patton or a Sheridan. That era doesn’t get enough love from modelers. Those tanks have a ton of personality such as shark mouths, mounted miniguns and umbrellas.

@Joe125g20 Рік тому

Ooh that would be cool. Some cool handpainted artwork, some palm tree camoflage, loads of stowage, and some depressed looking crew members. Would give Uncle the chance to paint some camo uniforms as well as darker skin from any black soldier. Very cool idea.

The color gradient is really cool! The paint job really compliments the texture. Excellent work!

1:30 For metal poles, I'd recommend getting some brass tubing made for modellers. It's cheap, and easy to cut.

@thegoodaussie1968 Рік тому

For those who live in Adelaide and her surrounding areas, Foamex in Edinburgh has the right foam for model usage and they cut it to size! Not sure about cost though I haven't had a chance to go myself yet

@seanoneill7085 Рік тому

You are incredibly talented. Thank you for posting this. I am learning a lot and getting ready to reenter this hobby after a 40 year hiatus. Thank you.

@georgeclements2742 Рік тому

Just adding to what Heatedpete said earlier, breeze blocks used to be made from a waste byproduct of gas producing works when gas was manufactured from coal. In North London, where I lived as a child, we had a Gas Works and they made breeze blocks there. Thanks for another excellent video.

@geraldbrooks2763 Рік тому

Always love a foam carving video.

@Piotr_J93 Рік тому

Top tip from my experience, for various metal poles I use cooper brake pipes. You can find them in different sizes like 4.75mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm and you can buy them in meters in local automotive shop. They are also very easy to bend in hand so it is very easy to do for example road lamp post bent by a tank or a truck plus thay are empty inside so you can squeze some wiring into them and make real lights.

@R1chiesART 11 місяців тому

Hello my friend. Its been great to come across your channel. I've been searching for content just like this for guidance and inspiration. You have both in abundance. The blocks you refer to are cinder blocks, very light weight and used for internal walls only because they are porous. Here in the UK they are known as Thermalite. The blocks used outside, especially for retaining walls which have strength, are called concrete blocks which are nearly three times as heavy. Cheers.

@markunger4501 9 місяців тому

Your work is amazing, your videos have become an addiction for me. I have learned so much, but I will never match your skills.

@geo2theo Рік тому

You are a great renaissance art master. Unbelievable what things must be considered and thought of, over, to make a scene look real, how many layers... Like art painters do. And your talking is great. Hyperrealism.

@smoessmee Рік тому

From your description the blocks used in the actual building may well be cinder blocks, which used to be used in the British Isles made from compressed cinders. People here sometimes still call breeze blocks / cavity blocks the same thing, but these are made from concrete.

I have never built any kind of miniature but I'm a crafty person and I love old run down stone buildings so your videos have inspired me to give building a try. Going to get some foam this weekend and try a mausoleum. Thanks for your tips! Your method of brick and stone making looks the best and most enjoyable way to do this. 😊

@Naosuke84 Рік тому

You can protect and prime the styrofoam in one step by mixing black paint with matte modpodge then painting it on. Use a cheap brush for it because once you do, because it can ruin the tip on your nice ones. Once the mod podge is dry you can use just about anything on the Styrofoam without damaging it

@ModeliteDiorama Рік тому

@jerryvolpini7987 Рік тому

You would think I'd learn?! I sometimes question the techniques you use and your choice of materials, only to be proved wrong, over and over again 🤦‍♂️ Building looks great, can't wait to see it finished! 👍

@rOEN911 Рік тому

thats very nice ,a quick tip when you want to stick anything to the thermoplastic polymer like the straw and you dont care that much about the surface ,use some acetone to clean it also i found out that rather use primer melt in an old bottle of glue some old plastic sprue and mix it with putty ,this is what i am doing anyway and holds perfect !

You could also model the building in 3D using something like SketchUp, which will allow you to rotate it and view it from any angle and then modify it before cutting any material.

@stephenbridges2791 Рік тому

That's the thinnest I have ever seen construction foam cut. I'm surprised that it didn't remelt before you could get it apart. Those properties are variable across different types of foam. I pick up different varieties whenever I can. Some are better than others. Some are unusable. Nice result you got with that particular foam. Fortunate that you found it.
