My friends, miniature buildings are a very exciting part of any diorama. They offer us many exciting and different textures, and a whole new bunch of painting and weathering techniques! But their biggest downside is their size, and soon enough we can start running out of space. So why not take the best out of this concept and put it in a picture frame?

Remeber kids: All you need is +30 years old black ink! - Dear Martin, it amazes me what you can do new to the most common things. Very creative, very new and also kind of quick (and dirty from the ink). I started following you for your modeling skills - no so much because you do armor. Today i congratulate myself being so smart to stick with you. Im even looking forward for the next tank!

I'm a bricklayer in canada and the way that you varied the brick color in sections is perfect. When bricks are placed on the scaffold they come on pallets so that sections of wall will get that pallet with a few leftovers raised up to the next section. One might get a few pallets from the same batch number so they'll be really close in color but if not from the same batch number the colors will be slightly off just as you've shown. We'll done 👏👌👏

It is _so_ nice to see every 2nd rows of bricks laid short side out! This is the standard for brick constructions actually made from bricks, and not just faced with bricks. A proper brick wall is two bricks thick. There are several ways to ensure stability for suck a wall, the every 2nd row across is called "English bond", but there are many other types, like Garden bond (every 4th row across), Flemish bond, Monk bond etc.

That was a master class in XPS modeling. The Tamiya putty as sealer could be a game changer for many people, and that styrene "plywood" sheet is also brilliant. In fact the whole vid was stuffed with fantastic techniques. Bravo, sir.

Inspirational stuff, Night Shift. I've found a good splosh of homemade acrylic thinner, half again of cheap liquid PVA glue and a few teaspoonfuls of cheap finishing plaster filler to consistency of thickish paint does wonders. Dry with a heat gun if you're impatient and recoat if you want. It leaves a hard 'plaster' like (lol) surface which is just begging to be painted. I mix up enough for a small plastic shot glass which I reckon is about 10 pence a shot rather than £6.00 a tube of commercial stuff. Try it with other glues too! Best of luck.

I was getting a coffee at a drive-thru the other day and observed the brickwork. I noticed where the new guy obviously got involved... you could tell where he finally got yelled at and shown how to do it properly. Much better but not perfect. Then a few rows up they were immaculate again. Either fired, re-tasked, or next shift took over I guess.

I love it! I've seen some people who specialise in doing this kind of model. I like photos of walls and old signs, too.... which might be a bit odd, now I think about it. I found a site a few years ago where someone had collected loads of images of 'ghost-signs', old advertising murals on the sides or facades of buildings, some so faded and worn as to be almost unintelligible. I spent hours there and copied lots of the images, but the reason I mention it was that some of them were the work of a French artist/maker who had done flat framed facades of various buildings with ghost-signs. Beautiful work, I just wish I could remember his name! You should have a go at doing one, I think you're style and sensibilities would be perfectly suited to the faded majesty of ghostly signage.

I love the way you catch the history, the life of an ordinary object by studying how to replicate effects like koisture on walls, or the moss, the corroded metals... it´s like seen those natural things happening on fast forward.
