Thank you so much
For two whole nights sat up searching how to do the base like mad and was going insane so thank you for being so easy to understand

Thank you. I'm thinking about getting into this hobby for my retirement and didn't know how. Looks simple enough that even I could do it.

Nice tutorial for beginners. I only think that the static grass application is a problem for beginners, because they probably will not have an applicator :)

Flat Corkboard works great as a ground surface. it's easy to shape and use for layering.

Dziękuję za fantastyczny materiał. Szukałem pomysłu na dioramę dla mojego czołgu 😂. Skorzystam z Twojego filmu. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam.

I do model trains and this is an excellent way to efficiently and mass produce ground texture!

I had a follow up question just curious what is your opinion on using air dry clay over the water and gypsum mixture and con or pros for either? Sorry I’m relatively new to the diorama scene and still trying to learn more.

[szmakles]

Will be using this in a future godzilla diorama I want to make! thank you!

[Lidsville]

Wow that looks awesome as, ive never done one before, bit scared but after seeing how you did it, I feel more comfortable giving it a go

[VGK_FAN]

You could have mixed the 5 mm grass in with the 3 mm grass for a somewhat more realistic effect? Just an option to consider. Personally I prefer a cement/sand mix over plaster, for it is so much more durable. Another option is mixing the paint in with the plaster so when chipping may occur you don't have unseemly white spots. Keep up the great work 👍

Gonna make me a killer battle of pharsalus for a school project thanks to you!

I am watching this late in the day because I can't sleep, however watching this makes me realise why modelling is a thing of beauty and the time and heart it goes into making it. Despite the fact I don't have polystyrene I am using a flat piece of wood, simply because this is going to be my first diorama and I don't want to do anything fancy. Thank you so much for this video, I think that honestly it is so nice to see so many people dig deep into model making and making craft from the heart. I lost my Father early this year whilst I was struggling in general with everything, but he gave me a lifeline - the enjoyment of model making and I never have lost that passion now! I do model making in memory of my Father, because if it wasn't for him, I would be in a much more darker place. By the way, I hope wood is ok when making a diorama!
