Build an AMAZING stone bridge diorama/model
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2024
- This diorama was inspired by Staverton Bridge in Devon. It’s a beautiful place I have frequented throughout my life.
This diorama gave me the opportunity to work with a seafoam trees, balsa wood, WWS stones, Woodland Scenics resin and, of course, a range of static grass and scatters from WWS, Woodland Scenics and Gaugemaster to create the scene. I also included daffodils to give a sense of the season.
The final photos were taken between Haytor and Bovey Tracey.

obrigada!
very nice
Thanks Kyle
Luke Towan would love this. Both great building.
Thank you! 👍🏻
Beautiful! The photos at the end, there are a bunch of them you could put in a Calendar of photos of the UK's countryside, and people would not know it was a diorama!
Thank you! Actually, a calendar is great idea and I might need to look into that! 😂
Wow! Subscribed.
Thanks Stuart 👍🏻
Motorcycle News spotted!
😂😂 🏍
New server, not an AWS man? Just kidding, great work!
😂😂 thank you!
If you rub a candle on the wood, the resin has even less chance of sticking to it :)
Awesome tip - thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Just making the bridge from card stock would be a challenge for me. Outstanding work.
Thanks Tim!
I was on holiday in wales at carrog on the Llangollen railway and would love to see a diorama of berwyn stations massive viaduct road bridge and river. That bridge is exactly the same as the one I walked over in carrog over the river Dee
I just looked it up online and it is very similar to the bridge which inspired this diorama. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
This came up on suggestions so I watched. It made me think of Newbridge where my mum took me as a child and where I’ve taken my family in turn. The scene says Dartmoor very clearly to me. Thank you. I’ve subscribed.
Thanks Tom, I take a lot of inspiration from Dartmoor and it’s really nice to know it brings back some nice memories for you.
This is amazing. I used to live not far from this bridge. When I left home at 19 my first job was in Huxhams Cross and I used to cross this bridge most days.
There also *used* to be a brilliant little camp spot just to the west of the bridge on the north bank. All closed off now by "owners". I canoed this stretch with my son a few years ago, and as soon as we came under the bridge we came under a hail of stones from builders who think it's OK to assault people on the water, because if their boss owns the land he owns the water, too.
Anyway, I have a lot of fond memories of this place, and this is a fantastic model. Well done.
Thank you. I remember when there was full access but as you say, very restricted now. It’s nice to hear you have some nice memories of it 😊
Actually unbelievable. Wow
Thank you!
I'm going to be building Lord Of The Rings terrain, and this video was a huge help.
Excellent! It will be great to see your terrain when you have finished.
Amazing as always..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 regards, Chris
Thanks Chris
As always Andy.. words cannot describe your work enough. It is my greatest pleasure to watch your videos. Your artistry is beyond measure. I'm not ashamed to publicly state I have tears in my eyes from the beauty you create with your work. Thank you for keeping these videos coming.. ❤
Thanks Phil, your support is much appreciated 😊
As always top draw results. Those end pictures with the sunrise behind are stunning.
Thanks very much Tim👍🏻
Wow! Standing ovations! Brilliant work, I particularly liked the final pictures, they were so....poetical😊 . You said that by watching this we can see how easy is to create such a model.I'll never dare to call it " easy ". Anyway, I don't have your talent, skills and especially your patience, you have my respect for these. Bravo, well done!
Thanks Laura! 😁
I realy like ur modling.iv sub .keep up the great art
Thanks Gerald 😁
nailed it I will have to try making bricks from wood I have only used xps foam for things like bricks etc.
Thanks John, sounds like a plan 👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant. A masters' class in terrain and scenics. Beyond impressive!
Thank you Anthony! 😀
It's so really, beautiful Diorama. Great job. 👍🏻
Thank you
Incredible and delightful! You may have covered this in another video, but why the watered-down washing-up liquid? I wouldn't have thought that your next layer would stick properly.
Beautiful--thank you!
Thank you John! The watered down washing up liquid breaks the surface tension which stops the glue from beading and moving the earth texture. You can also use isopropyl alcohol.
Probably the highest standard of modelling I have ever seen. Incredible skills 👏
Thanks Dan, that’s incredibly kind 😊
Great detailing, but I could not be doing different levels and directions of small shoals of rainbow trout at different levels of say 4 water pours, three for fish levels laying across one another with maybe a pike hanging around in the stones, and one top pour to cover everything else. You can create such detail with clear water resin as every level a pour mixes with the next and anything at different levels brings the water alive.
Very true. I haven’t tried the different levels yet as the colour I use is often too murky to see a lot of detail. I think I would need to do a test first rather than risk it on a model I’ve spent a long time on!
I’ve been looking forward to this one and boy have you nailed it Andy. As always brilliant modelling with loads information for me to retain. Happy memories to from the final photographic sequence from a school field trip in the mid 70’s we stayed at Bovey Tracey and went to Haytor, lovely stuff.
Cheers Andy, John
Thanks John, I’m pleased it gave you a trip down memory lane!! It was an amazing sunrise that morning and I felt very lucky to have it as a backdrop.
Stunning. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
Thank you 😊
Wonderful bridge and scenery, congrats!!👍👍
Thank you Phil 😁
Well worth the wait and all the effort you put into it Andy. Outstanding in every respect. Thanks.
Thank you John
Gorgeous build!
Thank you
Looks fantastic!
Thank you 😊
Absolutely stunning work!
Thank you!
Great work! Beautiful!
Thank you 😊
Impressive. Love the final images. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Martin 😀
Incredible job. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this. What you show in a few minutes takes hours and hours to do. I love all the detail with the rocks. It looks extremely realistic and thanks for posting this.
Thank you Louis
Wow fantastic! What a brilliant diorama! The effort that went into that really shows great job and thanks for sharing the process 🙂👍🏻
Thanks Mark 👍🏻
Love it. Great final result and really relaxing watching the process.
Thank you 😊
Stunning model! Really looks well lived in! Great techniques!
Thank you 👍🏻
That is some truly impressive work!
Thank you 😊
One of the best tutorials I've watched- really clear and well made. Also I know how filming any model work doubles the time it takes so great job there.
Thanks Tom, that’s very kind of you 😊
Andy you are an exceptional modeller! That is outstanding! Well done mate. 10/10
Thanks Craig, that very kind of you 😊
Well worth the effort! Stunning!
Thanks 😁
Very fantastic Diorama, the bridge reminds me a little bit about Eilean Donan Castle. But please, can you find a more happy background music? This music makes me feel sad, I'm living on ground level, so no problem when it drives me to jump out of the window, but it could cause dangerous injuris by other people.
Thank you. Regarding the music, I was going for relaxing rather than depressing 😬
Very, very cool, my man! 👍🏻
Thanks Paulo 👍🏻
Stunning.....I've been across the Staverton Bridge many times and you've nailed it 👍
Thank you 😊
As always incredible skills and I’ve shared to my page
I made a bridges with card and stone textured wallpaper but this is one I want to try on my next layout it’s a true labour of love
Thanks Les. Also, thank you for sharing on your page 😀
I'm excited to have discovered your channel. Great project
Thank you
Bravo for this masterpiece diorama . Looks very realistic this stone bridge . I do not want imagine how many days you pass on ... Cheers !
Thank you. It certainly was very time consuming!
Looks amazing 😗
Thank you
Very impressive, and I'm suitably impressed with the choice of vehicle in the pictures too! ;-) A lot of effort but the results speak for themselves. Cheers
Thanks Davie. That Land Rover is great and will be used many more times!
Thought was bridge near Talybont on Usk nr merthyr...reminds me of it...looks good m8 15:56 looks like real place photo...amazing
Thanks Russell
Wow! Beautiful work there! You are an amazing modeller, with outstanding patience! Have subscribed!
Thanks Richard, that’s very kind. I thought I had already subscribed to you but have just done it again! Happy New Year.
@@DartsideScenics Likewise! I M sure I had subbed when I saw your intro video! Haha!
just saw this, very nice. worth a sub (and i saw you had 999 subs, so thought i should help). looking forward to going through your other videos.
Thank you!! 😁😁
Great job dude, randomly stumbled on video and have subscribed, I build middle earth terrain for wargaming mainly, shared on my page too ;)
Thank you for sharing, I have subscribed to your channel. I’ll pop over to Facebook to join the group 👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant Andy and the photos at the end make it look very real, take it was on dartmoor. I hope you've posted those photos on the wws page for the November header comp. I think this is my favourite diorama yet atb Andy
Thanks Andy. Yes, the photos were taken this morning between Haytor and Bovey Tracey on Dartmoor. A really beautiful morning 😁
@@DartsideScenics I need to visit dartmoor again
@@moorlandmodelrailwayandy always worth a visit - so much to see
@@DartsideScenics so much to see if it's not horizontal rain and fog, my last visit to Cherry Brook in a nutshell lol
Very impressive work. However, I personally would have had the bridge running at a slight angle across the base to give a better dynamic visual effect.
Thanks Kevin
What is washing up spray?. I’ve seen it mentioned in other videos. thanks. Great talent you have.
Thank you. It’s water with a few drops of washing up liquid (dish detergent). It helps to break the surface tension before spraying on the glue.
jesus! it´s gorgeous! and those shots at the end, you really nailed the sunrise light!
Respect from México, this is professional stuff
Thank you!! 😁
Absolutely stunning Andy, worth every minute of the many hours you have put into that and the Bovey Tracey shots really did it justice mate. I have recently used your videos to help me create a stream bed and a Devon bank and have been delighted with the results. Just one note of interest, I noticed that your resin had clouded over in places after curing, I had the same in some areas and put it down to the temperature being a bit low but a quick application of Mod Podge for ripples soon hid it. Have you found another other solution for that? Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve. I would love to see the photos of your modelling. Yes, the Mod Podge seemed to cure the film on top of the resin. It might be the cold temperature in my garage or I didn’t mix it well enough. I have read of people sanding it and then adding a thin layer of resin over the top but I don’t think I’ll be trying that!!
Think it must be the cold Andy, I followed the instructions to the letter and it looked great for a few hours and then clouded over. Will PM you some photos, cheers Steve
Great work Andy, absolutely brilliant, the end photos were truly amazing. Incidentally what we’re the flags for? Did I miss the explanation!
Cheers
Ade
Thanks Ade. I didn’t explain that part very well! I was leaving bare patches under each tree and needed to plan where each one went. Once positioned, I could get the trees out of the way and use the static grass applicator without bashing the trees.
@@DartsideScenics obvious now you said it, sorry I’ll pay more attention next time!
Wow fantastic work mate. I will say that bridge is just amazing! I'm spechless. Overall how long did the bridge alone take to make.
Thanks Nicholas. Too long!! I didn’t time it but probably 12 - 15 hours overall.
Hi. Awesome model. Where do you get card that big from? Thanks
Thank you. I found the card at Hobbycraft.
Fantastic work! What are the dimensions of it and is it done to a scale?
Thanks Alex! I can't remember the dimensions but it's 1:76 scale
Looks interesting and well documented... What scale is this? 1:87?
Thank you. It’s 1:76
Question Andy. What size WWS light grey stones did you use? They do fine medium and large.
Hi John. It’s the medium light grey stones 👍🏻
www.wwscenics.com/product/war-world-scenics-medium-grade-light-grey-stones/
Why super glue? And who makes the grey Stones? And finally how do you get rid of the balsa texture?
Hi Mike. Super glue was probably due to time limitations and wanting to move on to the next stage. I have put product links in the video description (they are WWS stones). The plaster of paris helps to remove the balsa texture. You could also stipple on watered down filler which gives a nice stone texture.
As a Total novice to this What is the idea behind the watered down washing up liquid ??
Hi Phil. If you put scenic glue on certain scatters/powders, it can bead and make a bit of a mess. The watered down washing up liquid breaks the surface before applying the glue. You can also use isopropyl alcohol.
The real question that I have is... where do you keep all these dioramas stored? :p
😂😂in the loft!
@@DartsideScenics my wife would kill me if they left my tiny man cave room :p
