Check out Diorama Presepe for some Realistic Scenery Products: www.dioramapresepe.com/en/
In this tutorial DIY, I show you how to build an architectural scale model from foam core or foam board from scratch. I cover several techniques for creating the Ultimate, Ultra-Realistic Diorama. You can apply these techniques to anything you are making, such as dioramas, scale models, model railway scenery, wargaming terrain, warhammer 40k, dollhouse accessories, action figure displays, and much more!
I teach you several technical skills, such as how to cut through foam board, how to 3D print details for dioramas, such as miniature tables, chairs, windows, doors, flower pots, etc, how to create a realistic stucco texture for miniature scale models, how to use an airbrush for painting miniature details, how to make realistic scenery, how to make and paint realistic stone walkways using XPS Foam, how to make realistic miniature staircases, and much more!
My favorite technique that I learned was making realistic scale model flowers using 3D prints. It was tedious gluing each individual flower using super glue, but I was very happy with the results!

As a Greek I approve of this. The details are insanely accurate.
Wow thank you!!! I’m so glad it’s accurate - I’ve never been to Greece so I did lots of research and tried my best. Thanks for watching!
As someone married to a Greek woman, I also approve!
@@smolworldworkshop This is the amazing power of the human mind. Through imagination you can travel 🧳 to places, your body never physically touched.
Finally I send my hamster on a summer holiday. Real good job!
Haha thank you so much!!
saw the thumbnail I thought it was the real life santorini 😮 love this build 🙌
Thank you, I’m glad you like it and that it looks real! Thanks for watching!
It's like a mini vacation! Absolutely lovely.
Thank you :)
What a refreshing change from boats, planes, tanks and trains. You have a incredible eye for detail without over doing it. Simple beautiful work! Thanks for sharing your incredible talent.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I’m so glad you enjoy my content, and I’m happy to provide some variety in what you watch!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how beatifully designed in their logic and simplicity is this kind of traditional architecture that fits the terrain and makes comfortable homes in a rather harsh environment?
I agree, I love how the architecture is integrated in the landscape there!
Lovely job! Had a neighbour who decorated the whole exterior of his house in the gorgeous white and blue Greek island aesthetic. Used to look at it in nostalgic admiration whenever I walked past - memories of idyllic Greek summer holidays. And then he sold it, and the new owners not only scrapped the colour scheme, they clad the building in fake stone. 😱😱😱
Thank you!! And too bad the new owners redecorated! Cycladic Architecture is so iconic and beautiful!
Sometimes it pays to put yourself through the grind. And in this project, your stone work resulted in perfection!
Thank you so much!! To be honest I wasn’t sure how the stones would turn out. But you’re right, it definitely pays to trust the process! Thanks for watching :)
What a fantastic build! I visited Santorini decades ago and you absolutely nailed the look and feel. So much to admire here, and so many great techniques shared. Very glad I found this channel.
Thank you so much for your kind compliments! I’m so glad you found my channel too, and I appreciate the support!
Beautiful! I get so tired of dioramas of dilapidated buildings from the Depression that are overdone on YT. You nailed the colors and scale, and the flowers and shrubs accented the bold blue and stark white exteriors perfectly. I've subscribed.
Thank you!! I’m so glad you like the diorama! Thanks for subscribing!
As a non-Greek I approve of this. Awesome!
Glad you like it!
The outside shots of this are amazing. It looks so realistic, it's incredible
Thank you, I’m so glad you like them! I had so much fun taking those shots at the beach! Thanks for watching :)
Total Awesomeness 😮 😮 😮
Thank you!!!!
This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Thank you so much!!!
Fabulous. I love anything in miniature so I'd love to see a log cabin
Thank you very much!
That stucco is amazing. I don't doubt the time that went into it for a second. I've only made a small fireplace with spackle covering it for a stucco like appearance and I was sure it was going to be the death of me 😅
Those flowers also are an amazing idea, they really do look leaps and bounds better than the foam ones.
Seeing this finished out in the sun with the shadows casting naturally and the wind wiggling the plants... amazing work, truly.
Thank you!!! I don’t know what I was thinking when I though that the stucco was only going to take a day haha!
I think for me seeing the final project in natural light is the most rewarding part! Thanks again for your support :D
The bougainvillea is my favorite part! 😊😊😊
Thank you!!! They were very tedious but I liked the way they turned out!
What a beautiful job! So many details...
Thank you so much!!!!
Gorgeous! The attention to detail is spectacular. Little side note, if you print those tables upside down you’d minimize overhangs and the required supports meaning less work for you. I’ve never seen someone 3d print flowers like that before either, the little printed details are just stellar!
I went to Santorini last September and revisiting this October. You have this spot on mate, right down to the Bougainvillea which grows all over the Island. My wife was impressed with this build as well and is probing me to see if I can have a shot at it 🤔😂
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you like I’m the build! I’ve never been to Greece, so it’s nice to hear that it looks accurate. If you’re looking to build a diorama like this I’d highly encourage it! Lots of fun to make!
Amazing work on this! Applying the grout between the stones was very satisfying, and gave a great result!
Also appreciate the makers paradox being features, where no matter how accurately and precisely things are planned, modeled, printed, and cut, somehow there is always random gaps that appear! It's just the way
Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked it!! And yeah gaps always make their way into my projects haha, so glad filler exists!!
Wow, wow, wow! My mund is blown. If I didn't see this video, I would have thought this was a real building. That last shot by the ocean looks so realistic.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you like the outdoor shots at the beach!! Those were really fun to do. Thanks again for watching :)
Beautiful Santorini! You did an amazing job on capturing its essence.
Thank you!! I’m so glad you like it :)
Absolutely brilliant work! I don’t think you take requests but I would love to see a New Mexico style pueblo home!
Thank you so much!!! And that sounds awesome!
Your texture method is actually vary accurate to how some of that is really done. The tool used often is called stomp brush or some say slamp brush (Slap/stomp).
That’s awesome to hear, thanks for sharing that with me!
It is gorgeous! 😍😍😍 You are so talented 🙌
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you like it!
Best diorama that I have seen in the internet 😮😮😮
Wow thank you!!! That’s an amazing compliment!
You are so talented wow your builds look so real you deserve so much more subscribers!
Thank you so much I really appreciate that :)
@@smolworldworkshopyour welcome!
Félicitations, ce diorama est une véritable invitation au voyage. Je resterai bien assis à une table à boire un café en regardant la mer ...
Oh wow wow wow ❤❤❤breathtaking 🥰😍
This is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!! Great work!!!!! For a moment at the video intro I thought it was actually real! Bravo!
Thank you so much!!!! I’m glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!!
Absolutely stunning!!!! Gorgeous, gorgeous diorama!!! ❤😊❤
Thank you!!! I’m glad you like it!
@@smolworldworkshop you are welcome 🤗
Such a huge amount of work! And definitely a beautiful piece 🤩🤩🤩
Ive never been to Greece, but i adore the traditional blue and white simplicity. In fact, I'm alreading planning Greek style decor for the new home we'll be living in.
I’ve never been either, I’d love to go. And that sounds awesome, good luck with your project!
@@smolworldworkshop thank you! Works like yours are an inspiration.
That is outrageously beautiful - great job!!
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked it!
Fantastic work. Something similar to this would make an excellent backdrop for photographing 1/24 scale model cars. I will definitely need to consider something like this in the future.
Thank you!! And yes dioramas are great for model cars! I’m not sure when I’ll get around to it, but I’ve had a few diorama ideas for my model cars that I’ve been saving
Beautiful. Amazing final pictures. So real.
Thank you!! I’m glad you like them :)
I am in absolute awe, it's so beautiful! I can see so much work went into this but the end result proves it was all worth it.
Thank you!! These projects definitely take lots of time but it’s very satisfying to see everything come together!
I am again blown away with your attention to detail. This has captured the Greek style of beautiful homes and without the comparison of size I would love to live in it.
Your days/weeks of work are well appreciated 😊
Thank you again for all your support and kind compliments :) I really appreciate it!!
As someone who only builds prefab miniatures… this is mind blowing! Love the detail! I’m inspired to try a full build like this. ❤
Thank you, glad you liked the video! And good luck with your projects :)
Okay also I love how you 3D modeled it to begin with
Thank you!!! I normally don’t do it but this time it really helped me visualize what I was going for!
@@smolworldworkshop what program do u use for 3d model?
I can't wait to see what else you make, this is extraordinary!!!!
Thank you!!! I’m very excited for all the upcoming projects!
Satisfying to watch. Looks so clean and good without staining or weathering. Great decision.
Thank you!! This was a fun project to make, I’m so glad you liked the final outcome:)
Awesome work! Love the colors and the details of your plants - truly amazing!
Thank you so much!!!
My new favorite house. Tile looks fabulous and time consuming, but worth it!
Thank you!! I’m glad you like the diorama! And yes, the stones were definitely worth the work!
i am also Greek and i can say this outcome is fantastic ! good job !!!!
Thank you for the kind words!That means a lot to me, and thanks for watching :)
That's amazing. The stucco sets it off.
Beautiful! Love how bright and colorful it is, excellent work
Thank you so much!! I’ve always loved the vibrant colors in Greece!
Amazing work. Not different from the real thing on videos and pictures.
It’s amazing!!!😍
Thank you!!!
So prettyyy my eyes are blessed 🤩🤩
Thank you!!
It looks so realistic! :O Masterfully crafted!
Thank you so much!!
I needed a mini vacation so I came back to watch this again. It’s just so beautiful! And in the sun… Amazing!
Thank you for visiting again haha! I’m glad you liked the video and thanks again for all your support :)
This is absolutely incredible. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Playing Sonic Unleashed and seeing how they portrayed the beautiful Greek architecture has made me want to visit Mykonos and Santorini, and MAN! This is just AMAZING! It brings my appreciation of this Greek architecture to the next level! 10/10!
Thank you so much!! Greek architecture is so awesome and iconic. Thanks for watching!!!
That is really cool- Only thought one more flower color and the steps and balcony might need a little foot wear. Then possibly a coffee cup left on one of the tables. Then a stick broom for sweeping up the fallen blossoms left leaning on the backside of one of the post. LOL Love it. The stone pavers look amazing.
Thank you so much, and yes those would definitely be some nice details to add! Thanks for watching :)
wow, this was fantastic. A true artist. thank you for the details and cool music.
This is absolutely beautiful! You are a very skilled and gifted artist and I throughly enjoyed watching your craftsmanship. I love miniature things and this was so satisfying to see how you brought it all together.
Thank you so much for your kind words! That means a lot and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching :)
Using this as inspiration for my NMS build(s). Sooooo pretty!!! I have so many beautiful archipelago planets with blue skies, blue seas, and gorgeous white sand, but 0 ideas on what to build! Your dioramas are so detailed and motivate me to get back to designing and building xD
Wow I am impressed with your skill and your work.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you for watching :)
Last year, I stayed at that place on Santorini. Lovely place and hosts. Well done.
Thank you very much! And that’s great, I’ve never been so I’ll have to visit sometime.
@@smolworldworkshop Close anyway, brings back great memories.
That’s stunning ❤
Thank you so much :)
You are amazing. ❤ I love Greek, I have family in Greece. They have beautiful white buildings that are built on top of each other with plants growing all over the place. I once went to Greece and everyone in the city was throwing tomatoes at each other. It was a giant food fight and fun. They celebrate holidays by painting their bodies like corpses and beautiful floral designs. They played beautiful music throughout the night and we danced and ate lots of food. People made food in their homes and their neighbors came to pick up food at their doors sharing meals with each other. It was a great experience.
Wow that sounds like an amazing experience! Thanks for sharing that with me and thank you for watching :)
Absolutely fascinating to watch you create this. I could move in anytime. It’s beautiful.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked the video! Thanks again for watching :)
absolutely incredible! ♥
Thank you!
This is so cool and beautiful. I found your channel recently and I’m so happy I did!!!! You’re so talented & I wish you the best.
Thank you for your kind words and support, that means a lot to me! I’m so glad you found my channel :)
Классно! Как будто заново побывала на Санторине😊
Beautiful, great job .
That looks great
Very beautiful bright and vivid and most definitely it made my soul feel very happy
Glad to hear that!! Thank you so much for watching!
Watching from South Africa. You're an amazing craftsman.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thanks for watching!
'Cause of your Santorini build, I hit the subscribe button the moment I saw you stacking up pink foams for stairs. 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much for the support!! And I loved making the stairs, this was the first time I tried that technique. Thanks for watching!
@@smolworldworkshop Yes and you can bet I'll wait for more.
Absolutely gorgeous! WOW!
Thank you!!
Wow. Your work just blows me away! What patience you must have!
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you like it :)
Amazing work! Great commentary and techniques! You really inspire me to start building some small dioramas! I am familiar with 3d printing and I love that you using it in your projects! A small tip is to remove the supports after applying heat with a hair dryer or not so powerful heat gun! ( hot water works too ) Thank you and greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 !
Thank you for the nice compliments and for the 3D printing advice! And I’m so glad to hear you’re inspired to make some projects yourself!! Good luck with your dioramas :)
Amazing work!
Thank you!
I recently started making miniature builds and now knowing how much time it takes to create something like this, this is an incredible build! so much attention to detail! Thanks for sharing info on how you made it. Im excited to see what you make next!
Thank you, I’m so glad you like the diorama! I’m very excited to share my future builds, and wishing you luck with all your projects! Thanks for watching :)
Simply gorgeous!!
Thank you!!!
Excellent work again
Thank you so much!!
This has inspired me to take up diorama modelling. I'm possibly insane, but I am going to start with a copy of your Santorini diorama! The reason being that I have 4' long photograph of Santorini that has an large unused shelf under it, a diorama like the one you created will complement it perfectly. Thank you so much for inspiring me and for the amazing work you have done. Thank you also for explaining each stage so well. I have subscribed and hope to see more of your work.
That’s awesome!! I’m so glad this diorama inspired you to make your own, that means so much to me :) also thanks for subscribing and supporting the channel! Good luck with your project!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your build and all the ideas.
Thank you and of course, always happy to share everything I know in hopes it can help someone else with their projects!
This was magnificent to watch!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Carson, your diorama is so beautiful.
Thank you!! I’m so glad you like the diorama!
This is fabulous!
Thank you!
simply stunning and amazing.....
Thank you so much :)
Looks so nice
Thank you!
Wow just amazing 😮
Thank you!
OMG I've just had to subscribe, can't wait to see what you make next 👍🏼🤩🏴
Wow thank you so much for all your support!! I really appreciate it :D
Absolutely gorgeous incredible 👌🏻🤩
Thank you!!!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you!!
What a piece of art
Thank you!!!
Absolutely beautiful. You put in much effort and your talents shine through.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you like the video!!!
This is just so pretty!! ❤🌺❤
Thank you!!
To speed the process, I would use the styrene scraper technique to apply a "scratch coat" before doing the stipple. This way you could build up the surface in one coat. Also, I would print the table leg parts flat and super glue them together as assemblies.
Thank you for sharing!! Definitely some great tips to speed things up a bit!
Very well done!!! I love the attention to detail (fallen flower petals, et)
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it!!
Wow!! So beautifully done. Enjoyed the process. Thank you. Well done.
Thank you so much, I’m glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Wow you have captured melrose place so beautifully!
Can’t wait for Alison to catch Billy with Amanda oh the Drama diorama
Thank you!!
Fantastic build!!! I iove Santorini👌👌👌👌❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
incredible talent
Thank you!
You could also try watered down caulking to make the stucco texture.
That’s a great idea, thanks for sharing!
