Made a few years back this house method of building lasts usually 3-5 years, sometimes much longer. The house is edible. The shingles are Necco Wafers. The figures are plastic and the lights battery operated. The base is styrofoam which I find to be the best choice possible. .

good job.
magnifique wonderfull
Merci Mon Ami!
imo Napoleon slams
Awesome! Bloody amazing mate! Keep up the great work! I love these large scale 1/72 dioramas!
Fun stuff
Yes, it very much is. Down time on the building as I am in mid move to much lager home with adequate space for multiple builds simultaneously. Soon though.
Way cool, if this were my set up, there would be Dinosaurs thrown in.
Another very impressive and spectacular video, splendid diorama...even for a French player!😊😊👍👍
Thanks for all your videos
Very good work, it motivates me for new projects. By the way, in the compilation there is a nice work related to the Roman legions in Germania (min 7.04), it was precisely my project on the siege of Alesia 52 B.C during the Gallic War in which I invested the most time, especially to build the double belt of fortifications and towers around the city, I had to use a lot of small pieces of wood
Thank you. The sections of the Roman Fort you saw are made from specific pieces from the ESCI Battlefield Accessories set(3 per set, took 35 sets worth of pieces) and molds of the base to the AHM Roman Marching Fort, using the larger half 2x. I will do Alesia some day. I have the drawing of the circumvallation(s) from the battle specifically at the river where there was the gap. I can handle that with resources and space. I thinkl I'll stick with 1/72 scale...........😄
great video just came across this in 2024 does airfix still do this fort or am i a few years out lol
Series 6 is the last issue of the set some years back but still not hard to acquire. Pricey though. A complete set with figures and fort can range wildly from 65-110 dollars. Glad you liked the video. Many more to come! You can get more info from the 1/72 Legions In Plastic Depot Facebook page or the same name for my Ebay store.
A beautiful and atmospheric diorama, well done!
GOOD VIDEO AND GREAT DIORAMA SIR,THANK YOU.THEY ARE EVEN BETTER WHEN WATCH ON A WIDE-SCREEN T V. TAKE CARE
Great!🇫🇷🇬🇧
Hi! are you putting these dioramas together and then dismantling them? I've been so curious! Are they not glues down, and therefore reusable in other sets? Thanks so much!
They are removed and then started over. I use plastic sheets to set them in place using elmers glue to do that. The glue lets go after a week or so allowing for easy removal. The figure bases are covered by dusting the field with ground cover. The glue peels off the figure bases without harming them. The plastic sheets are commonly used in recycle shopping bags. They lay flat and cut to size and shape with a scissors.
@@thefoodmercenary thats so cool! I spuer glued my guys down:(
@@NVCITrain Better them than you.............😆
@@thefoodmercenary true! I love your work man...
@@NVCITrain Are you a collector in some fashion in 1/72?
Extremely weird rivers, right ?
WOW! The colours really come out and the red earth makes this so different!
Thanks
Plastica? Imex? Revell? Errl esci?
All of those companies plus Strelets, Atlantic, Marx, Airfix, CTA, HAT and Italeri are on the board.
@@thefoodmercenary That was going to be my question as well 😁😁 thanks for answering it on a 5 year old video 👍👍
GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS SIR,WATCH IT EARLY ON WIDE SREEN TV,LIKE A MINI-MOVIE.TAKE CARE
Really nice!
Wunderschön gemacht.Das muss eine Arbeit gewesen sein👍👍👍💙
DANKE SCHÖN. Ich habe noch viele weitere, denen ich folgen kann. Dieses Wochenende beende ich ein napoleonisches Diorama. Wellington in Spanien. Nicht so groß, etwa 1700 Figuren.
very cool
WOW! (again 😀) The Giant Viking's were some of my favorite childhood toys and this entire set-up would have been a dream come true. While my childhood bedroom would've been too small, there was room in the attic, but alas, not enough money and not enough creativity on my part for doing something like this.
really good job on the back packs
Those look amazing, i wish I could have had toys like those when I was a child ❤
THEY WERE THE BEST,THEY USES MARX AND MONOGRAM SOLDIERS MOLDS. GIANT TOY COMPANY SOLDIERS WERE EVERYWHERE BACK THEN. TAKE CARE
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO,GIANT TOY COMPANY SOLDIERS AND COMIC BOOKS DEALS WERE THE BEST BACK THEN.THEY WERE THE ONLY 1/72 SCALE SOLDIERS I KNEW TO AIRFIX CAME TO MY LITTLE TOWN.THANK AGAIN FOR FLASH-BACK TO BETTER TIMES.TAKE CARE
What brand are those figurine I like it ❤👍😍
They are made by Atlantic, Italeri, Zvezda and Hat for the most part.
What is the name of the first marching song that plays? I recognise it from the movie Gettysburg but would love to know what its called

Los prusianos casi ni se ven.donde están las tropas belgas, holandesas, de Hannover de Nassau de Brunswick de la legion alemana del rey?? Donde está todo eso??? Esto no es waterloo!!!

Varied periods and great looking dioramas here, well done Michael!
Very, very good!!, прекрасная Диорама!! Спасибо вам за изображения палаток белого цвета, я тоже хочу попробовать изготовить палатки в масштабе 1/72 своими руками 👍
Extremely satisfying to look at. The puffs of smoke are a really nice touch
Thank you. I hope the rest of the videos meet expectations, including the many planned and in the works. Little Big Horn and Devil's Den are in the works among others.
Another top video of your 'greatest hits' (so far)! Excellent photos and compilation of the video too. Thanks for this visual demonstration of the joys of the hobby. Regards, James
A wonderful compilation of your sensational dioramas Michael! The hours spent designing and arranging them were time well spent-they are a joy to view. Regards, James
Thank you James! I am working on 4 new builds in various stages. WWI Assault, Fall of Carthage, Battle On The Nile, Little Big Horn. then probably Devil's Den.
It was, and is fun. Many more builds to come me thinks both detailed and non detailed. I appreciate the time spent posting comments...👍
Incredible! 🎉
