  • My friends, tonight we're trying something completely new and next week we'll paint this small building! Let me tell you, creating stuff from styrofoam is pure joy, and we'll explore other ways to make foam bricks in my future projects!

  • @daredemontriple6
    @daredemontriple6 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The off-centre barn doors grate against the our natural desire for symmetry and patterns, however I think they make this building come to life. It's just like on armour when we bust up the fenders on one side but the other side remains merely dented and scratched - that detail adds a little story to the model. A close call with some artillery perhaps. As you mentioned in this video a good explanation could be the animals on each side of the barn being different.
    In any case this is absolutely phenomenal work and I can't wait to see more in the future. I'm very happy to see dioramas and vignettes becoming a more common thing on this channel. In my opinion it does the armour a great injustice to spend all that time on it only to put it on a display cabinet shelf, as if World War II was fought on a giant pane of glass.

    Building the scene brick by brick and tile by tile... it's madness, but I would expect no less.
    I'm really looking forward to the progress on this one. It already looks great and I'm glad that you're having fun. As someone evidently obsessed with realistic detail, I would imagine that diorama work is going to be something that you'll really like.
    I also appreciated your comment about "story" and omitting details where they do not contribute or would detract from the story of the piece. All artists are storytellers at some fundamental level.

    Two points. At 5.39 you ask for alternatives to cutting the bricks. You almost had it correct when you overlap the corner by half a brick ON ALTERNATIVE COURSES, not every course. The intermediate courses will start with a half brick. On the adjacent wall you butt the brick up to the extended brick and interlock the bricks on the next course up. When cutting the bricks with the hot wire cutter you should have cut some of them as half bricks, to tidy up the other end of the wall as required. The other point is when feeding the foam through your cutter don't apply too much pressure. This avoids the issue of distorting the hot wire and thus the foam. Hope you understand this.

    A great video and I'm saying that as a semi-professional model maker specialising in constructing buildings and structures and having both books and magazine articles about scratch-building terrain published. The roof top tiles are called capping and I would also recommend egg box card (the card containers that eggs are packed in) it can easily mimic wood and bricks and stone.
    One final point - I like to build my building cores from corrugated cardboard rather than foam.
    I look forward to seeing part two - the painting.

  • @chrisknight6884
    @chrisknight6884 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice job so far .... you need to cut back the mortar on the horizontal joints at the corners and also look at how the rain would flow from the roof of the barn to the shed. It would be built to ensure rain wouldn't get inside. The joint you have does not look very normal. Perhaps some lead flashing?
    Good luck 😊

    Well Night Shift, I've never been to Europe, but here in the U.S. I have built a few barns, used several, and torn down a couple, and I can say that the doors are centered only about half the time. In my experience the determining factor is how big the building is and how much $$ the person building it had available.
