This would take me three months to plan, six months to build, and it wouldn’t be half as good. Another brilliant diorama! Thanks for the inspiration.

Well I did say it was something different!! And Wow it certainly is way out of my league but fascinating to watch . Have to say also your work on that Xps is second to none !!!!👍🏻 Can’t find shortbreads so will have to do with 🍪 & a few pints of Stella 😋😜🍻🍻

A MOST DETAILED BIT OF MODELLING DIORAMA AND ENGINEERING WORK WHITH ALL THE HOMEWORK SHOWING A VERY NICE PIECE OF WORK .

As a Dutchman I think it's great to see how you can recreate this bridge in detail. I also admire your skills in rendering masonry in XPS foam. I can't wait for part 2!

Absolutely stunning - from the CAD design and printing to the individual rivets and all of the bricks/stones.

The bridge is fantastic, I was extremely impressed with the fact you designed it from scratch. I was also amazed that it still exists today. Keep up your fantastic work 👍🏻

Wow . Some work gone into this . That 3d printing is something else . 😳

Another master builder 👍 respect from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Great job. Love the combination of different techniques and materials, and very jealous of your 3D design skills - that bridge looks fantastic.

You haven't disappointed me ... I was expecting you to do every rivet by hand. - and you almost did. :-) The bridge looks fantastic so far.

Alchemy , wizardry, and a lifetime of patience. Brilliantly demonstrated. Thank you Ian, ATVB2U .Scott Somerset

You never disappoint CWM! An amazing example of the skill and eye for detail that you incorporate into all of your projects. I cant wait for the next instalment.

Great work as usual, always a great pleasure to watch you work. The amount of effort you went to scribing the bricks in such consistent way is mind boggling, most just scratch them on and near enough is good enough, I really respect the way you went about it, well played Ian. 👍👍👍

Always a pleasure and inspiration to watch such skills, and sense of detail in your work. Just brilliant.

Beautiful build CW!! the the printed bridge is finally up!! Watching you create the center structure and railings from scratch is my favorite part!!

You are absolutely insane, mate... ... and I mean that in a very envious but loving way 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😁

Comprehensive and actually very soothing to watch your investigation thur construction process. You have taken model building to a new level mate.

All the cad work and 3d printing way over my head but so impressed with the work which looks like another brilliant CW build 👌😎 Fred

Awesome project Ian, an incredible amount of detailed work before even any painting has begun😧 Amazing work with the 3D printer, the carved work in the foam - brilliant. Churchills looking cool too. Well done bud👍

I just realized you are a 3d printing ninja😳 I just made my first steps of trying to create own designs, and I fear my head would explode when I would try to design a beautiful bridge like yours😅

So much amazing stuff packed into one video. Fantastic work on the bridge. I love the mix of 3D printing a scratch building. I’ve seen AFV Club Churchills and thought they’d be fun to build. From what you showed it looks like they go together nicely.

absolutely stunning already.will look amazing with paint on. can't wait to see your next part. keep up the great work 👍

These details and amount of work is really impressive!

Amazing job Wonderful bridge and afv Great job

Amazing work, my friend! Love that bridge!! Eager to see the dio finished! :)

Cool 😉👌🏻

Just SUPERB...Cannot wait for part 2

WOW

Brilliant 👍👍👍👍

Superb work, can't wait for part two

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.

*Awesome* ❤👍

Moin einfach Klasse !!!!!! freue mich schon auf das dioram !!!!!

super video ...merci pour la technique que tu emplois car j' avoue ça ma donner des super idées

👍👍

New dio👏

Can you 3d print the brick guide? A great selling idea.

Very interested in this build, simply because it is to do with the Grenadier Guards, of which I served in

wow !!! 😲👌👌👍

What is the music,that piano is sooo therapeutic.the whole video and music is amazing.

Omg nearly a whole hour 🥰

Trully amazing. Always anxious to see your new videos ! What CAD program are you using ? Thank you

"A bridge so near"

Fantastic stuff. Wish I was young enough to learn CAD to that level. Is it Autocad you use? Problem is I feel is that there isn't really an affordable CAD package for the home user, well I haven't found one. They all seem to be on an annual subscription. What happened to buying software and then upgrading a few versions down the line lol. Look forward to part 2.

That looks awesome already, I'd love to be able to do the design and 3D print stuff but my head would probably implode if I tried 😂 What do you think the Churchill cost with all the extras you added? That turret detail with the cammo netting is going to mske it way better than the standard turret, well worth it

Wonderful work. What is the white board you made the rest of the bridge construction of?

What type of foam material have you used for the cobblestone and brick?

Can you share the 3D file, slt or not? Or where can I purchase from? Thank you.

Hi, great Job, could you send me the 3d model so I can print the bridge ,thanks.

Absolutely stunning work from start to finish could I ask you were do you get your xps foam from

What a nice Work !! I follow you now 😁 Like it. Ehm by the way Whats the Name of the Song by Minute 24..

What CAD software is that? Could you me it clear?

This is not a criticism but I would like to know why you make small base dioramas and then fill them to capacity? Like I said, this is not criticism, just curiosity and wanting to know if there is a reason like personal preference or maybe competitions (where the quality of your work without a doubt must bring you a lot of wins). To be open at my end, I like to do a mixture of sizes and over the past few years, without acting on it, I have wanted to build large dioramas made from smaller interlocking pieces for ease of transport. My degree was in fine arts and actually got into the hobby because one of my admired professors asked me if I could stop by a model shop and pick up a Tamiya Hanomag (back in 1977) which looked so interesting I bought one for myself and an Italeri Panzer 4 when Italeri made great kits and working suspensions plus a number of little movable parts that appealed to the kid playing with army men that has never been extinguished. Anyway, I got hooked and for a long time I made dioramas but then my wife's health concerns prevented me from making more than one model a year. I could have made more and continued on but she was far more important to me. When she passed away in April, 2019 a lot of my skills were rusty and combined with aging, it took me a couple of years to start building in a meaningful way. Actually, Taesung Harmms and I have been friends for a number of years, not close and in person but through a lot of great communication via email and Facebook, which extended past the hobby and into other interests. He actually did a few things that got me motivated and feeling like I was on the edge of the hobby and a little push could help. So, until recently I have just been building and painting and have just started a project, a diorama to showcase a destroyed Tiger E that I build from photos (3) covering the tank in Panzerwrecks Normandy. I built the tank including research and then building using a lot of kit parts from several companies, while my wife was sick. Now to do the groundwork shown in the photos!

Hi Ian. A quick question: do you know what happened to Simon Kemp, John Moore and Jens? Thanks mate!

Do you sell your 3d files I'd love to have the bridge

3D PRINTER used well can do so much. be sure the trash is taken out and kiss your loved one.

Not everyone has a 3d printer I think it would be more useful if you had made it all by hand

I love you work, it's really one of the best I've seen, really learn a lot as you show exactly how you do you dioramas, but I'm very curious what cad cam program you use(been using cad cam and printers for a long time but in dental work!!!), keep the good work!! @betlemgabelli
