Sorry but no trains on this video but its a compilation of photographs documenting the building of my entry into the WWS Farm Diorama Competition. Whilst building I've used both old and new techniques to me and used new materials. I've noticed that even during this build my modelling skills have improved immensely as i have leaned from the mistakes made using the new materials. Its been a really enjoyable experience and something that I'll definitely be doing again. Hope you enjoy watching this video as much as i enjoyed building the diorama.

Very realistic, being able to position it outside with natural light always adds to the realism.

Excellent. For me, it does everything a diorama should, and it does it superbly. A relaxed, and therefore natural representation of the subject, captures the atmosphere of the real thing, it tells a story, and last but not least, it is brought to life with people, animals, vehicles, and all the detail of life. A worthy winner in my book. Cheers. Mike.

Wow Mike thanks so much for those lovely comments and wish you were the judge lol. I've really enjoyed taking part and modelling a subject close to my heart having worked there. Thanks again for your comments cheers Andy

I live and work in the Staffordshire Moorlands seeing farms like this every day - and I think you’ve captured real-life perfectly in miniature!

Towards the end, I was trying to work out what was making it look so real, apart from the brilliant modelling - then it clicked, the lighting! So I went to myself "how has he done that? LEDs? Spots? Fades?" Then the shot changed, and you showed us it was done outdoors! Superb job! Really got me!

Thanks very much John. You can't beat natural light outside when taking the photos, it brings the model to life especially with the clouds and backdrop. I've done another model recently and the video is out called Stuck in the Mud. Think you'd probably enjoy the 2 videos on that thanks again Andy

I think the same as everyone else Andy it’s a beautiful model, it is a work of art in it’s own right. I hope you win something in the competition as it would be thoroughly deserved but more importantly the joy and satisfaction it has given you in making it. I have started my first major scratch build and I’m hooked! Cheers for now Andy, John

@moorlandmodelrailwayandy 2 жыл бұрын

Hi John thank you very much for your lovely comments. I really enjoyed building the scene there's so much satisfaction at the end knowing that's its fairly unique. I use a mixture of Slater's and Wills plasticard sheets although it's all Wills on this build. Slater's is thinner and easier to use but lacks the depth in the detail so I tend to use that when cladding existing card buildings. Good luck with your build I'll look forward to seeing your next video cheers Andy

You have really managed to get a very nice moorland farm there, particularly impressed by your "wet" meadow with the various tufts of grass, I can actually visualise the mud sucking at my feet walking across such a field. Can I ask where the quad bike came from ?

@moorlandmodelrailwayandy 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks David I used to work in those conditions so know what you mean about the mud sucking at your boots. The quad bike is either Priesler or noch and I got it from the Gaugemaster shop. Hope that helps atb Andy

Great video Andy, lots of atmosphere in the scene! Which WWS water product did you use for the fast flowing stream and how did you apply it as I want to do something similar on my layout and you have done it so well! Cheers Gary

@moorlandmodelrailwayandy 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Gary. I used the clear water paste from WWS. I applied it with a paint brush and wooden lollipop stick. It takes ages to clear, but it does. I've found later that it's better to build up thin layers that dry quicker then do the thicker detailing on top. Martyn did a good live stream using it, worth watching before you have a go but it's a great product. It can be painted once dry to bring out the detail. Hope that helps cheers Andy
