@Bihasa08 what I did was to create box templates. Gathered the logos via Google and used it in Photoshop. Printed them and wrapped individually around different sizes of foam boards.
@@lexscs Hi! The measurements stated above are pretty much all the major dimensions of the project, that should be your guide so you can fine tune the other things like windows and stuff depending on how you like it. Glad you liked it! Cheers!
@liv2grind409 Hi! When I’m trying to replicate a true structure like this one, I look at reference photos and compare it with my true 1/64 scale cars and figures. You can consider the sizes as rough estimates and maybe I’m just lucky that it turns out looking okay most of the time. 🙂
Hi! I’d say use hobby grade acrylic paints for ease of use. Regular paints often are too thick and difficult to manage. Cardboards are okay too, I actually started using those when I started the hobby, now I use foamboards as they have a smooth and flat surface and comes in different thickness. Ultimately, you can start with materials that are easily available to you and improve from there. Hope this helps!
@mrltnj hi there how do you get your acrylic paint to stick to your board?is it the sponging?because when I paint with acrylic on it it spreads everywhere and doesn't finish as I'd like I notice spray works well though. Also do you spray a clear coat and is it needed. New to the craft, thank you for the video.
Hi @kenreignz5297 Yes I do it through sponging which leaves an uneven, textured finish which i personally prefer. What I noticed when using acrylic paints on these boards is you usually have to do 2-3 coats of paint with 1-2 minute intervals. So don't worry if the board is still visible on the first coat. Quality of the paint matters too! I prefer using vallejo as they are very good pigment paints. Spraying the board with primer can also help big time and ensures your paint adheres better. As of now I dont spray clear coat on the dioramas, though you can always do it to prevent them from damage. Hope this helps!
@mrltnj thanks for the advice and thank you for the reply! So hard to get youtubers to reply to video on this.just one more question, what glue do you use?is it clear glue or contact or super glue?

@Bihasa08 glad you liked it!

Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста. Из какого материала вы делаете свои шедевры?
Hi! My works are mostly made of 1.5mm-3.0mm thick foam boards, some pieces of skewer sticks for the poles, acrylic paints, and acrylic sheets.
Omg this is too amazing, maybe I ask how you can have all those stickers/logos, did you print it yourself?
@terrencecheung2450 Thank you! Yes, I printed the labels myself and glued them on styrene sheet.

из какого материала вы это делаете?
Foam-core board, skewer sticks, transparent acrylic film, acrylic paints
Will painting with regular paints and using cardboard be ok?
