My jaw dropped when you finally revealed those cracks painted and highlighted. For a split second I refused to believe that you actually painted those by hand. Great job, and I really like how this work turned out.

@NightShiftScaleModels 2 роки тому

Those painted cracks is a trick I learned from my diorama sensei Volker Bembennek. Most of the techniques used on this house come from his work, he's the real MVP! If you google his name you'll find many of his amazing works!

I live in France and Byrrh is a product that still exists. I've used it to make cocktails before.

@harryanderson7282 2 роки тому

The fact that this started out life as a humble, non-descript block of styrofoam is simply mind-boggling.

Just amazing watching this house come to "life". Clear explanation and a great result. Just one thing though: when applying the wash to the moss did the PVA glue not dissolve?

@NightShiftScaleModels 2 роки тому

The PVA dries really fast and it won't budge :) You can go to town with watered down acrylics.

@marckoppelman7170 2 роки тому

@@NightShiftScaleModelsMany thanks for your reaction :-) Because I normally use watered down PVA when I want to put on static grass etc. and when I saw you put on the wash the first thing I thought was isnt that going to give some issues with the PVA?

@stavros_SX 2 роки тому

@@marckoppelman7170 Not all PVA's are the same. It took me a long time to figure that out. What you're looking for is a PVA for exterior use that's water resistant. Interior use PVA's tend to reactivate when soaked in water. I'd suggest you go to a store and check the descriptions of different PVA's. I've been using a wood glue which claims that it's intended for both interior and exterior use, is also water resistant and I have no issues when applying washes :)

@marckoppelman7170 2 роки тому

@@stavros_SX I just checked my stock and both bottles should be water resistant ;-)

@ModeliteDiorama 2 роки тому

I agree with you that it is more satisfying to create something completely on your own, instead of just building a model!

@stephenumbrell5261 Рік тому

In case you're wondering, Byrrh is an aromatised wine apertif made of red wine. It was more popular in the early 20th century than today.

@radeksekula 2 роки тому

I'm amazed to see how good the rocks look. I would NOT believe it if someone told me that this warm grey basecoat + watered down light color could give such a nice result. I really like how you mention the various references and how you let them kind of guide your thought process. And I need to get myself some of that ballast fixer :D That wood coloring and orange staining from rusty nails really reminded me of what I saw at my grandparets' houses in their villages. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the wood grain, looks quite aggressive. When you type in 'old fence' into google images you can see a lot of those grey washed out planks, but the wood grain is barely visible without a serious zoom in. Or maybe it's just your camera work being too good and it catches those sharp color changes too well :D

@NightShiftScaleModels 2 роки тому

One would normally assume that neutral grey, or even cold, bluish tones would be appropriate for stones. However, I've seen it done in other dioramas and didn't quite like the result. Rocks are often dusty, covered in lichen and whatnot, so they naturally look "warmer". You're making a good point about the woodgrain. I got carried away because it was a new, fast and easy technique :D

@MacD1074 2 роки тому
