Another winner! Quick simple projects like this one are a terrific way to take a break from more complex & demanding builds. Thanks for sharing the 'weathering' techniques.
Looks great 👌 certainly not necessary, but it’s definitely worth investing a few bucks, in some inexpensive sculpting tools. They make working with acrylic mediums, significantly easier/more efficient
Wow your really good. My grandfather served in the Army. He was in the battle of the bulge. My grandma used to tell me stories about things he would write to her about. He saw some pretty horrific things. He talked about how they stole stuff like rations off dead German troops. Guess they did not plan very well for how far in troops would go as the marched towards Germany. I read where German troops would take parachuted in supplies to American troops.
What a blessing to see a new video! I am making my own Normandy diorama right now but i am having hard time scratchbuilding the house. Do you have any tips on how to cut xps foam to get a straight line? I don't really have any foam cutter neither the budget for it...
Thank you - and sounds like a fun project! Hmm... I don't have a ton of experience with XPS myself - but maybe you could over-cut the pieces a bit & then sand them down flat? Just a thought
I would recommend a good straight edge like a framing or T square and a utility knife with lots of blades. Just go slow and make multiple shallow passes. Practice and you will get there.
Great technique very realistic. Years, maybe more like centuries ago, before these new materials were available, I had a Ford Tri- motor with skies and dog sled. I made the snow by using wall spackle, then made my skies pattern and dog with sled imprints before spackle dried. Then used baking soda and sprayed everything with flat clear spray. It looked great just like baking soda and spackle :-). I think I still have the Ford, base snow fell apart. Now I know how to do it right, Same technique would work for the Wright Flyer and Apollo program , ( your technique not baking soda) Happy Holidays
Wow, your diorama is amazing and truly inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing the video of it. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is truly impressive, and it's clear that a lot of hard work and dedication went into creating this beautiful piece. I could spend hours admiring all the little details and imagining the stories behind each element. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you again for sharing your talent with us!
Is it a good idea to use the same airbrush for Matt varnish and for acrylic paints? P.S. Excellent job and thank you for your tutorials! They are very helpful! Please, do more!
Looks brilliant, how much silicone do you need? I am currently making a snowy crashed BF109 and never used silicone so I am not even sure what type of silicone. Keep up the good modelling.
I see that you also paint warhammer figures. I had a question for you,but since it doesn’t pertain to your amazing video here,how does one get in touch with you?
Hi, i am thinking of starting After building as a Child and later train Houses as an adult. I know Most from Building the houses and don’t have painting Skills. I want to start with the Tamiya Sherman Tank. Do you have a Video on painting something similar? I own revell glue with a needle. Is that good enough? Regards Jan Willem
I'm positive that you have become better with experience, but how difficult is cleaning out your airbrush. Now, this is years ago, my late dad was a tool and die maker, and he liked to tell me how much time it would take me to clean out an airbrush. I'm sure that 40 years later it has to have been made easier, hasn't it?

@@SpruesNBrews i will try my best. Appreciate the swift answer. And i forgot - the idea with frozen soldier is absolutely badass. Cheers!

Saving this to watch later, busy now. 👌

Oh that's really cool - thank you for sharing! Cheers 🍻
Wow looks great man
This came at a great time for me as I’m building a tiger 1 dio in winter can’t wait to try out some of these techniques and tricks
Thanks - perfect!
This was awesome dude
Thank you!!
Very nice work hank. I think I am going to try this on my heavy armor gb.
Merry Christmas 🎄
That's great and thank you! Merry Christmas 🍻

Yay that's diorama of my city!
Wow great job , i will need to try it if i can find all products in Belgium

Did you get the idea of the 3rd Battle of Kharkov from the new Hell Let Loose update?

Can I use this technique for a 28mm Bolt Action road in the Battle of the Bulge?
What is your opinion of baking soda and CA glue for icey roads?
Is there a link to the channel you recommended for winter effects? Unless I’m blind and it’s buried in the description
Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Does this dry hard or stiff? I assume it does otherwise what protects it?
What's the point of the static grass when you cover all of it with thick frosting???
There's a little bit poking out still!
Love the tutorial but was that grass necessary? Look like you just covered it up
Last question, maybe. 8-) What makes a Vallejo "brown", so special other than some MBA's ad campaign?
achieve
why did you build a grass terrain upon when theres almost snow over and over?!
👍

If you are criticizing this guy that just makes u a super dork that gets a wedgy every morning and wears a pocket protector...
name of the city is "Kharkiv", you're using russian spelling in the title which is wrong
poor kamerad....
He had a rough time for sure
@@SpruesNBrews this diorama title ' somewhere in Kharkov region, there's lies fate of all soldier '
just guessing.
What? No snowflake warning about the brutal double amputation possibly not being suitable for sensitive viewers? 😮 😁
