My friends, how about another styrofoam building, but this time with cinderblocks and cracked plastered walls?

Dude you really have helped me develop a love for modeling again. I just kind of fell out of it but your videos brought me back and taught me some great techniques too. Much love from South Africa.

Cinder blocks are quite commonly used in the UK. I grew up near a power station, and the ash from the boilers was used to make finder blocks in a nearby factory.

Hey uncle, I would be interested in seeing you do a Vietnam war tank such as a Patton or a Sheridan. That era doesn’t get enough love from modelers. Those tanks have a ton of personality such as shark mouths, mounted miniguns and umbrellas.

Ooh that would be cool. Some cool handpainted artwork, some palm tree camoflage, loads of stowage, and some depressed looking crew members. Would give Uncle the chance to paint some camo uniforms as well as darker skin from any black soldier. Very cool idea.

Just adding to what Heatedpete said earlier, breeze blocks used to be made from a waste byproduct of gas producing works when gas was manufactured from coal. In North London, where I lived as a child, we had a Gas Works and they made breeze blocks there. Thanks for another excellent video.

Top tip from my experience, for various metal poles I use cooper brake pipes. You can find them in different sizes like 4.75mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm and you can buy them in meters in local automotive shop. They are also very easy to bend in hand so it is very easy to do for example road lamp post bent by a tank or a truck plus thay are empty inside so you can squeze some wiring into them and make real lights.

Hello my friend. Its been great to come across your channel. I've been searching for content just like this for guidance and inspiration. You have both in abundance. The blocks you refer to are cinder blocks, very light weight and used for internal walls only because they are porous. Here in the UK they are known as Thermalite. The blocks used outside, especially for retaining walls which have strength, are called concrete blocks which are nearly three times as heavy. Cheers.

thats very nice ,a quick tip when you want to stick anything to the thermoplastic polymer like the straw and you dont care that much about the surface ,use some acetone to clean it also i found out that rather use primer melt in an old bottle of glue some old plastic sprue and mix it with putty ,this is what i am doing anyway and holds perfect !

From your description the blocks used in the actual building may well be cinder blocks, which used to be used in the British Isles made from compressed cinders. People here sometimes still call breeze blocks / cavity blocks the same thing, but these are made from concrete.

@Naosuke84 Жыл бұрын

You can protect and prime the styrofoam in one step by mixing black paint with matte modpodge then painting it on. Use a cheap brush for it because once you do, because it can ruin the tip on your nice ones. Once the mod podge is dry you can use just about anything on the Styrofoam without damaging it

Lately I have been looking at alternate forms of construction and materials for building houses. I've looked at building houses out of shipping containers, giant concrete tubes, etc.; as for materials, I've researched materials such as adobe, dirt filled bottles, foam-crete and others. So I looked at this video and I thought: "hmm, a warehouse made out styrofoam?, why not." Alas, as I watched the video it dawned on me: "oh... it is a scale model of a warehouse". I actually thought a life sized warehouse was going to be constructed out of styrofoam bricks. It would certainly have been a light house with a high survival rate against earthquakes (for the occupants). Good video though.

You could also model the building in 3D using something like SketchUp, which will allow you to rotate it and view it from any angle and then modify it before cutting any material.

It would be amazing if you made a wet tank, showered by rain but with large areas still dry because they are sheltered by big elements of the vehicle.
