You know, if you're gonna do a diorama with water, you might aswell go all out and do a fording test like some experiental tank at Aberdeen or a tiger II at the Henschel plant.

You say that was a disaster but you know - the tannin from leaves actually do leach into patchy slushy snow making a dirty mess IRL so the end result seems pretty alright to me. So I would say it's a Bob Ross style happy little accident.

@NightShiftScaleModels 3 жыл бұрын

I dunno... I spend a lot of time in the forest even when it snows and I haven't ever noticed something like that. Maybe it happens in very small amounts, not like what happened here. Next time I'll give the Gravel fixer several hours to fully dry so it won't happen again :)

While watching you forget how tiny the whole piece is because of the great amount of detail. It's fantastic. I haven't the skill to make something as amazing as this, so it's almost painful to watch. As I'd give almost anything to have a piece of Art like this to display in my home. I particularly love the Stug. III AUSF. B, it was an amazing weapon that was greatly underestimated during the war, and caused severe damage to the Allied forces. Anyhow, it's a great diorama. I'm envious.

"Don't eat yellow snow!" I wouldn't see the discolouration as a problem. Wet fallen leaves have the same effect on snow in nature, so that was rather a "happy accident" (RIP Bob Ross). In the end it's a nice diorama with the cutest StuG I ever saw.

Great recovery on the snow. I think we have all had something that ended with unforeseen consequences. The times it has happened to me, it was always from mixing 2 or more unlike products. Then, in hindsight I could see my mistake. This is a great learning video. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all. See you next year.

At 14:39 I know you're just playing around, but I learned a long time ago... When trying a new material or new technique, experiment in a small area first. Or even on another "practice base". I'm learning alot from your channel. I havent been here a month yet and already you've helped me. I have been watching The Terrain Tutor for years. He's very good and taught me how to wet-blend. But he doesnt really do much with models, so I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Thanx for doing what you do.

I now have a Sherman and Panzer IV on their way to me for another forthcoming diorama project. The detail on them is better than many 1/76 scale kits and the Zvezda kits are less than half the price! Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.

Nice looking vignette Martin. Those Zsvsda 1/144 scale kits are very nice with so much detail As far as the snow "disaster" I think it was cool how the leaf scatter absorbed the snow mix. It gave the impression af a dirty layer that had melted then fresh snow on top. In reality, I'd say it was a happy accident. Have a great holiday season. Cheers!
