- Hello everyone today I'm going to cut about 1300+ cobblestone blocks, all made out of styrofoam craft foam to create our large-scale diorama great for displaying our large WWII 1/16 tanks.
We will also create trees, bushes, and a garden wall and paint and weather the whole thing

Shaking the foam with the rocks in a box is an absolute pro tip. Look so natural after that.
Outstanding diorama.👏👏👏👏
Looks great Andy👍👍👍👍
Great job Andy, you are very artistic!
recommend channel "Night Shift" the guy there does fantastic military models and diorama. big into the foam too! ... the detailing is amazing.. mostly 1/35th scale
That is a huge amount of work. The cobbles are beautifully rendered.
Great job! Love the individual stones. All your Stug needs now are some people!
That's absolutely amazing, using foam and cutting. I need to get my act together and get to work 👍
That was really interesting to watch
Inspirational as ever! Great work…the only thing wrong? Every time you make a video, I see more things that I have to buy! 🙄
And see what you did? That company is out of stock of trees now!
Outstanding stuff.
Glad you like them!
This looks terrific! I have seen some similar uses of foam, but never in 1/16 scale. You knocked it out of the park, great job!
What type or brand foam is that?
Its Paris -Roubaix, my mistake
When you said how many cobble stones there was , In thought. Man you are crazy.
When I saw the finial result, i thought, man you are awesome. 😁
Beautiful and well done.
I saw the start of the cobble stone base in his shop last week. Looked like a lot of work. Looks great.
Nice model...there is just one missing detail.
On boundary walls in cities and towns you would not have exposed mortar joints on the top. Usually walls had capping slabs of sandstone or some other dressed stone. The reason being most brickwork up to the 1950's was constructed with lime based mortar which was more soluble and eroded quicker then the Portland Cement that is used today.
To give you an example, the house where I live was built in 1903, and the rear boundary wall is 19 courses of bricks and is just under 5.5 ft high. On top of the brickwork there are sandstone slabs approx. 4ft x 1ft x 3" across the top.
Another thing to note when modelling old brickwork is that the mortar is not flush with the brick sides - before I repointed my boundary wall there was a gap of over 1/4" deep between the bricks.
Balled up aluminum foil can be used to texture foam blocks, walls etc. Great job Andy! That looks so cool!
Stug life
I watch black magic craft also and he has a lot of tricks to work foam its a badass channel
Looking good April about up. Order is a little Sluggish from over there. Im sure you hear it alot. Keep modeling.
Some great ideas for simple way to display the bigger scale tanks
1/16 scale is too big for me.
I want there to be a middle scale between 1/16 and 1/35.
If some company started 1/24 scale WW2 tanks, I'd buy their models.
The station wagon of tanks! 😹 Love it!
Great video as usual Andy, keep them coming, I'll keep watching.
Great video !!!
I love your energy and ideas Andy
I need a new wire foam cutter
The wire always breaks
As always Andy your videos are awesome , 1/16th scale is huge!!!
Andy have you seen the UV Polymer resin and polymer clays for sculpting and dioramas?
Inspirational vid Andy
Andy are you going to carry the New Super Tree product?
Looks great !!
Creating trees are a magic art
Looks great Andy
Cheers!!!
Wow this looks great! Love your very informative vids.
it looks really great.
A whole lot of work but man did it turn out great. Great job Andy.
I'd like to try building a diorama in 1/16 scale but I know my girlfriend wouldn't like it. :)
Don't know if you read all older comments. A recent friend passed away about a year or go. I was given most of his models and this rekindled a hobby that I haven't done in 40yrs. He was a hoarder. I seen in your video list older models. 1st manufactured in England by Eaglewall Plastics L.T.D. The German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen scale 1/ 1200. This was the Bismarcks escort when the H.M.S. Hood was blown to pieces. Prinz Eugen then watched the Bismarck sink later. This is definitely old and I think around late 50s. Both models assembly sheets are tan and fragile from age. 2nd. Revell Inc. Venice Calif Hospital Ship Haven. On the Hospital Ship Havens assembly sheets there are pics of other kits and 1 is Aircraft carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt. Length 21.5 and it only cost $2.49. You built a carrier CV4 350 scale and do you sell kit if so price. Also any military war ships in the 350 scale plz
Andy thanks very much for the great ideas in this video, I'm a huge fan of 1:16 scale, so this will certainly come in handy for displaying my builds as shows
Great diorama. The foliage really sets it apart.
LOL, I'm visiting my daughter and her fiance in Denmark right now. (New baby) You did pretty well. You can randomly put some of that green on the cobblestones. I helped the kids clean up their "garden" out back and that stuff is everywhere. I'll take some pictures and see if I can figure out how to put them on here or show you next time I can afford to drive way the hell out to your store from the east valley, if you're interested.
Another great video. Patience of a saint. Show off.
Looks good. Because I care about the channel, you would never call them cobbles. Think of cobble as a verb, it was called cobbled stone until some moron tried changing it to "cobblestone" To call the stones cobbles would be like looking at a fast car and renaming it a "fast" it's a car, not a fast, that is something entirely different. So just call them Stones. The cobblestone word was a part of that American English vs English movement. It's wrong on many levels. Use it as an adjective or verb, not a noun.
Keep up the good work, I just would feel bad to let someone call you out in the real world and say that nobody cared about you enough to help you fix it. We do.
Btw, Night shift did this first I think, he did the rock thing before covid.
hoping for any German half track in this scale, seems to be a much neglected subject......love 1/16 scale
You really only need a quarter or maybe a third of the thickness on the cobblestones. Or maybe not and I’m just cheap, or extremely frugal with materials as I’m broke as well as broken. 🤪😂😥
Could you give me the measurements for the size of your paving stones? I would like to replicate it as well. Thanks in advance
Amazing, love it 👏🏼
Thanks for sharing and keep it up 👍🏼
Fantastic Andy.
It looks gorgeous👍👍👍
P.S. there's stuff growing through and over walls all over the place right now.
Thanks for doing this. It's amazaing.
Amazing work as always. Keep up the great work Andy!
Very cool.............. 👍👍👍
This requires a level of dedication that I have no desire to achieve. WOW!
Another outstanding video and presentation. Thank you Andy!
Should have added a gutter between the sidewalk and the cobblestones that included A drain
How do you get the grass to stand up like that?? Diabolical.
Thank you for the 1/16 scale modelers.
I watch this then think of the crap I built and it makes me want to just go sit on the couch and be quiet.
Which cutter is that and will you be doing a video review?
looks great! would be good to see a 1/16 desert diorama for other 2 tanks
Beautiful Craftsmanship on this , I also do the same with this foam , works very nicely.
Awesome 👍🇳🇿
Sice of the stones andy pls😊
Excellent
Super work on the base Andy.
Wow!!!
20:30 sad face if you live in Australia
A Tiger 1 or Panther will look great on there as well
Whats the brand name of the foam that you're using? Is it available at Home Depot ore Lowe's?
Have the same question. I’ve looked for it but can’t find anything that dense.
Yes it was a lot of work to cut out all those little pieces to simulate the stones and bricks but in the end it was worth it it looks absolutely wonderful 👍👍
Awesome job and Tip's
Great very beuatiful !!
大型モデルとヨーロピアン👍
The intro never gets old
Super job Andy
I like and good work
Great work!!
@ 18:06 - what I’ve found that works great on any foam, is Gorilla Clear (non-foaming) and maybe a couple dots of hot glue to hold it till the the gorilla sets. Also, clear fabric glue is great. The main difference is that the fabric glue doesn’t like paint (especially acrylics) and the gorilla clear doesn’t care what you coat it with.
Now I have to pickup a 1/16 kit, or rather add to my wishlist and hope that the fam or Santa will gift it to me.
Thanks Andy. 😡🤪🤣😉👍
Great video. Your diorama skills are steadily improving. Keep up the great work.
In England its footpath or pavement, lol! I'm really enjoying your channel, I enjoy all the great interesting content, thank you. 😁👍✌️👊🇬🇧.ps, your diaramma always look so good. Pps, wouldn't gate hinge be on the inside of the wall, the garden/yard side of the wall?
Verry nice realistic 1/16 scale diorama.Size off coble stones and wall pls.
Have a nice day
Greetz from Belgium
Looks awesome. Maybe some additional soldiers, e.g. the 1:16 "Das Werk" Stug III crew
HAHA, thanks for the shout out to Jeremy's Black Magic Craft channel, that is my buddies son in law.
Tell him I appreciate the tip on doing the stone work . Thanks for watching
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters Do all of my favorite YT modelers watch each other or something?
Nerdforge and Kathy Millatt use that trick too, just not as often.
Looks nice for a new street. But in Belgium they are more round at the top and the rows are shifted. It is best to search for pictures of "Paris-Robaix" it is a cycling race known as "the hell of the north" (Norrd France). The competition is about different cobblestone strips
O hell yeah! Add some sandbags in front of the stug, spent ammunition shels and boxes laying around, some empty fuel canisters to show this guy is not going anywhere. Even without figurines it will look nice, abandoned last post. Brilliant stuff!
Looks great Andy! Lots of work, but worth it. Very realistic. Happy days and model on! 😎
Hi Andy,
the super Trees are Sea foam (Teloxis Aristata), which is not from the ocean, but it is a plant that you can grow. :-)
You can easy grow it in your garden and have tons of it super cheap. If you dip it in glicerine it will last for ever and still can be worked on.
Super dio by the way
Enjoyed the video and appreciate all the hints. Just one minor suggestion: I think it would look good to have a gutter alongside the kerbstones. That would give the chance to add a drain cover for another bit of detail. Of course, you may have checked references that suggest a gutter wouldn't be right for the area you are depicting; I'm no expert !
Truly amazing realism, but I would like to make two observations.
1 - A minor point: from my experience of seeing walls in the UK and Europe, the lintel above the gate always tends to be of a different stronger stone material. This might only be in building walls, however, as the lintel needs to take the weight of bricks above it, so for a garden wall, the same material might be acceptable.
2 - Logically, the hinges on the gate would be on the inside, not the street side. If one considers, the purpose of a gate, it is to prevent unwanted access, so placing the hinges on the outside goes against that objective as any would-be intruder with a screwdriver would easily gain access.
Nevertheless, this is a very rewarding video for makers of dioramas. Thanks for publishing this.
very nice work Andy you can always use a diorama base for cars trucks and motorbikes
That looks really good. Your bush is bang on for Bougainvillea. Very popular in Spain and Mediterranean Europe. I am going to have to have a go at this diorama thing.
Unbelievable Job Andy!! You are the Master!!
Great job Andy, I bet that was really fun to build - reminded me a little of that U-Boat dock diorama - I do like those sort of repetitive builds.
Beautiful diorama Andy, it came out really well. Not sure what you used for reference but here in France hinges on gates would normally be on the inside and the fitting for the wall just a spigot.
Hi, I worked in NYC Manhattan for NY Telephone for 40 years. there are many cobblestone streets still left on the lower east side. You really nailed the look and color of those type streets. Nice job.
Absolutely awesome build and video! Really enjoyed watching it!
Great demonstration of technique. Very well done and realistic. A work of art. 👏
I love this video Andy it’s probably one of your best ones yet. I have been wanting to do something like this but had no idea where to start. Thanks!
Amazing job love all the techniques u did definitely going to use them when making mine!!
Learned a lot from these videos. One thing you do Andy, is get it done, fast!! Looks good too.
Looks fantastic Andy, great work.
Well done. Making art and creativity look easy.
Looking amazing with the stug on well done
I love your diorama videos, keep it up please, you are very good at it 👍🏻
Great Job as always, Andy!!!
That road looks fantastic. Great work
Looks great andy!👍
Great Andy, nice job
I've seen quite a few cobbled street dioramas, in different scales, using individual cobbles or setts. It looks like a lot of work, but they always come out so good it's been worth it. Great job on that and the wall.
The Sea Foam is essentially a weed where it grows. You might find a load of small black seeds in the box. It grows in climates like yours - you should give it a go!
Great job Andy!
Very impressive diorama!
