I bought a bunch (but not that much) of stuff years and years ago but only ended up using a tiny little bit to make a base for a model. Do you have any pictures of dioramas you have made with that stuff? I haven't done a ton of diorama stuff, but the economy of the product makes it cheaper to buy the larger tubs. My favorite dio piece I've done though was my Bandai AT-ST Walker.

The one time I used it to make a "diorama" was on the Bandai Speederbike kit, but my 5 little clumps of moss look downright pathetic next to the beautiful diorama you built. Fantastic work!

I've been watching a lot of PLASMO on youtube lately before I hit the sack, any other suggestions for channels who do good modelling/diorama work and aren't wehraboos?

Luke towan and laser creation world are good. Only downside of laser creation is they don’t talk and use the same music in each vid

High Eye Workshop and Real Terrain Hobbies are pretty great. Both are more or less focused on the mini/warhammer scene, but they do some great dioramas and they're pretty pleasant to listen to.

Bill Making Stuff is pretty good too, though he specializes less in scale modeling and more in scratch-building, heavy weathering, and telling you uncomfortable things about your dad.

Arquinsiel posted:What did you use for the ferns? A similar concept, but the Mig product is photoetch I believe. Mine were a japanese product called Kamizukuri, which I got from Hobbylink Japan. They're paper sheets of plants, that you paint to your desired shades, and then cut out and glue to a green wire for support.

Night Shift always comes off as holier than thou to me. Calling other peoples' work cliched or talking poo poo about how someone set up a diorama is really offputting to me.

Yeah, he's overconfident, but he's got a solid technique and is generally much harder on his own mistakes if you make it to the bloopers.

I thought Night Shift sometimes sounded cocky even when pointing out his own mistakes, but I don't think it's intentional. He's highly skilled and the video he put up about his biking accident is hilarious because he absolutely shits on himself for poor decision making. +1 for Luke Towan who is incredibly skilled, humble, and manages to insert small bits of random silliness/humor.

Night Shift seems pretty cool and self deprecating to me. I also really enjoy his accent. His work is also very good and he uses a lot of advanced techniques you dont often see.

Night Shift's greatest crime is his disparaging of the aesthetics of French tanks.

Luke Towan's videos are brilliant, and almost meditative. I love to stick one on and just chill out when I don't have the energy to work at the bench.

Not very in-depth and the channel seems to be a variety of things but CraftStation deserves a nod for this piece of art. I really need to find a way to make myself get back to work on my M1A2 but  TAKEOFF Models hasn't been mentioned yet. For some reason I'm fairly meh about fixed-wing aircraft models but they do solid work. The V-22 Osprey in particular I really liked, perhaps because it's technically not fixed-wing.

General question: how many models did you finish last year? 3. I finished 3. My new years resolution is to finish at least 8 kits/projects this year. Wish me luck. For whatever it's worth, I work in in 35th and 1/32 scale almost exclusively.

I finished zero because I'm a terrible person and just too busy to get into the hobby room these days. I did make about 10 gallons of sawdust preparing a bunch of wood for the project, but didn't actually finish anything.

2 Tanks, one of which was a diorama. A model of the Nautilus. Threeish small dioramas and a dozen or so 28mm figures.

Huh: KA-6D 1/72 Stryker F-8 F-4 with a skull on the tail F/A-18F with a skull on the tail Dutch Leopard 2 HMMVW I never really finished really bad BMP-2 T-60 I really like SU-24 I think is never going to actually have ordinance on it (and that's ok) P-47 that started my spiral into 4+ months of crippling depression (Just say no to decal stripes, mask and paint whenever possible) That's WAY more than I thought I managed. Also I just looked at the P-47, and it's not that bad at all. I'm pumped to get started on finishing it now. But I'm shipping out of town tomorrow, lol.

Another (mostly) 3D printed kit. Started on this one last year, but it took me ages to finish, mostly because I made it harder than necessary for myself for no reason.     whole album. The model came in five major pieces: the grille/headlights, upper hull, roof, and two halves of the chassis. The upper hull and roof both included window pieces, so I decided to print those out in clear resin and polish them to be transparent. Bad idea, as it turns out, it's really hard to polish just the window bits without sanding down all the detail around them. I abandoned that idea and spent a few hours trying to learn Blender to cut out the window bits and then print the hull in opaque resin. That worked, except the windows made of clear plastic sheets fogged up while I was assembling it anyway. No big deal, since the interior is very basic anyway. The bigger problem came when I was trying to sand and fill the joint line between the lower chassis and upper hull. I managed to demolish all the detail here anyway. At least it's a 4x4, so I can put my armour modelling skills to use and hide my mistakes with mud. The only part that came out the way I intended was the headlights. The secret here was clear resin polished until it was transparent. I put some tinfoil behind the grille so it looked like they were actually reflective. The end result had a blueish tint, so I painted over it with oils until it became the yellowish colour it's supposed to be. The oil also scattered the light just enough so you can't tell it's tinfoil behind the grille. I spent way more time than I wanted to on this one, but I definitely learned a lot about 3D printed models.
