  • If you’ve ever wondered what a gold mine looks like from the side then this video is for you! And while we’re at it I’ll step you through every stage of how this awesome diorama was built.
    The techniques used to build this diorama can be used whether you’re building a huge model railroad or just a tiny little master piece of a model, you can also use these techniques for war gaming scenery however when it comes to sealing the scenery with Woodland Scenics Scenic Cement I’d use it undiluted for extra strength.
    The hot wire tools I use in the video are supplied from ‘The Hot Wire Foam Factory’ and I’m giving you my 100% honest opinion that these tools are absolutely fantastic! This diorama idea has been on the cards for over 12 months and it was not until I started to use the hot wire tools that I was able to get the results I was after! I highly recommend these tools!
    If you down here reading these comments…. THANK YOU. I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the videos and don’t forget that if you’d like to help support these videos you can go over to patreon and donate to the channel, I have some perks for different levels of donation.
    The music used throughout the video is from Epidemic Sound using their TH-cam Subscription License and the intro tune is licensed through Premium Beat.

    As a former Geological technician and Surveyor with both Government and Private Industry, I spent a good part of my working life exploring and surveying both abandoned Historic and current working mines in South Australia, and absolutely love and appreciate this diorama ! While having a few critiques rather than criticisms (electrics were usually run in exposed conduits between junction boxes) I would love to see such a diorama of an historic 19th Century mine with less uniformity of the height of drives, a few stopes, flickering candle-light (micro-LEDs) and a working cage, with perhaps a few more buildings (drying room, sorting shed and perhaps working stamp mill and engine room) Much inspiration can be found in the book "Mining in South Australia : a pictorial history " compiled by J.F. Drexel. I am a crippled OAP and I wish I could afford to be a patron, but I have subscribed and watched nearly all your videos! Thanks!

    Man I’ve watched so many of your videos last few days and weeks... this is my favorite, I love digging for gold and this would look awesome hanging on my wall. Only thing different I’m gonna do is I will make each level of the mine slightly different colors, to simulate different types of geological overburden, and the bottom level will look like bedrock. I love this diorama, thanks for sharing.

    @SatansFire 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is really cool. It's great to see how the freedom of TH-cam is showing us how fascinating these interests truly are. After decades of media treating model making as a dumb nerdy hobby for basement dwellers it looks like these videos are getting people interested in new things and showing us how imaginative you can be while still hold onto a childhood love of arts and crafts.

    Have you thought of putting a little hidden speckle of rich gold ore on one of the deeper mine levels somewhere the light will just barely catch it sparkling~? Might be a little too cheesy a suggestion, but I thought I'd ask ~

      You don't need all the flash tools and gear, they just make it a bit faster.
      It's probably sensable to start small and simple, then go from there, adding new skills/complexities each new diorama.
      Have fun.
