Great stuff man! Quick question, for the cut out of the window how is it so smooth inside? Do you sand it down? I ask because when I cut big windows like that the inside is always uneven and flaky
Yes, I sand it smooth. So I'll usually cut the hole a tiny bit small, usually just cut on the inside of the line to give me a little space to sand especially if I accidentally cut not so straight. Thank you for checking out the video.
No worries. I have a diorama tutorial playlist of the different tutorials I've made if you wanna check them out. Also a great resource is the Facebook group called Diostructure. There's tons of amazing talented people in that group that can help as well.
As far as real world realism is concerned, if you Google cracked brick walls you will see the vast majority cracked along the mortar not the bricks themselves. The cracks you used here are found in plaster and cement walls. Admittedly, the spider-web or lightening pattern looks better but is not really accurate for the brick wall stress.
Very very true. I wouldn't dispute that at all. I usually don't put my cracks in the mortar because they don't often show through, also if you don't do mortar, there's no way to create cracks if all your mortar is technically just your black wash, so you have to choose, are you going for real life accurate or artistic impression? The other case for brick cracks could be if there were an explosion or some other major force that occurs, though the way I've put them in wouldn't fit that scenario but that could be a pretty legit reason for the bricks cracking. Most of my cracks really aren't put in the "right" spot. I try to put them at least near where a stress point might be, but sometimes, it's just fun to put cracks in random spots. LOL! Thanks for checking out the video and for the input. Hopefully folks that are looking for info will read your comment if they are looking for tips on realism cuz it's a very very good point.
