    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 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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!

    Very nice Martin! I think what impresses me the most is how you blend all of the contrasting shapes and colors together to make it look like real brick, stone, wood & glass.

    • @NightShiftScaleModels
      @NightShiftScaleModels  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's usually about working with the same color palette, such as using mostly the same colors on wood and rocks, but also blending different textures with washes, filters and whatnot :)

    The one thing I notice with all the grout techniques is that the finished look makes it look newer than it would. Excess grout left on the brick/stone faces would wear off over the years but it’s still visible in these techniques. I wonder if doing a quick wipe with a wet cloth or paper towel would help get rid of the grout remnants on the stone faces.

    Only ting that bugs me a bit is that when you gather details and ideas from multiple references, you can get a bit of detail and idea overload. It's like three houses in one. But at least you can look at it for quite a while and still notice new details. Love the weathered greyish wood. I can almost smell and feel it.

    Night Shift! A tip for getting acrylic to flow on the clear acetate: add a tiny amount of dish soap so it can break the surface tension. you have to mix it into the wash slowly so you don't get bubbles, but it will lay on a smooth surface, no problem.

    • @NightShiftScaleModels
