Very clear, straight to the point, no blah blah, I wish there were more tutorials like this one on YT.

I'm learning from you a lot , very connected to your explanetion .

Wow Carlos thank you very much for a wonderful lesson and inspiration. I will be keeping this as a guide to future projects, fantastico !!

One of the Most enjoyable dio vids I’ve seen. concise informative and fun to watch. Very nice.

Carlos Thanks again for the video it really does help cut down on un-needed steps that someone newer to the hobby might take. I hope that there will be a future video in the diorama series that deals with snow and ice. So cool of you to take the time to share the things you have learned. I have asked many questions along the way and find it funny that some see it as a challenge or a threat, I guess it might be if it took years for them to learn they might see it as just giving it away.

Gracias, friend. i'm just getting into dioramas to add more context and scale to my gundam kits. Videos like this are such a resource and we all appreciate it.

Very cool video. I love the realistic look and took away some good ideas. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Very well done and informative, will save this as a guide when i start building diorama. You make it look too easy, thank you Carlos!

Thank you for this great video, Carlos. You make the creative process look deceptively easy. But the video is so informative in it's step-by-step format, it instills the confidence even in a novice to try your methods... I, for one will give it a try. Well done, sir!

Excellent reference video Carlos. Thank you. I shall keep this in watch later section as a valuable tutorial

Good point that the grass may look striking which in some cases is not so off the wall. The california desert in some seasons has wild flowers and grass after a good rain that look amazing against what is normally a dead background. great video.

Just watched it again Carlos... as I am preparing for a DAK dio... its just such a great tutorial!

Many thanks Carlos' between you and Hamilkar, what more could a budding modeller need , salute

Thanks for the awesome tutorial... definitely one I will be watching over and over as I try it myself.

Thank you, Carlos, for taking the time to make such an outstanding tutorial. Your contribution to the modelling community continues to inspire and build confidence in all of us model builders. I could say more, but I'll save it for future comments. Will we see more diorama tutorials in the future? I'd love to see some winter ones :)

Hi, If you're still reading your comments up-to-date, don't listen to any of these fools dissing on your video! They're either KZfaq nerds and critiquing your video and bluntly rude about it because they haven't grown up yet, still living at Mommy's house.... or they're just envious because they could never create such great art. I am an artist myself and I have yet to make a KZfaq video. This is half the reason right here.... I'm 42 years old and finally gained the confidence to allow my talent to grow . But I'm also sensitive and words do hurt me. The last thing I need is some cheeto eatin, couch surfin, you tubin, douch bag to ruin it for me. Props to you for not only making a video but it is a great video! You my friend did an amazing job!

Carlos, what a great video. As good as many you would see on DVD's for modelers. You make it look so easy, that even I will try to have go my self, though being a total novice to the art. Uma vez mais muito obrigado por partilhar. É realmente uma fonte de inspiração e referência. Abraço!

This was very very useful. thank you so much for taking the time to explain your methods.

Wonderful tutorial Carlos, thank you for taking the time to do this! Informative and inspiring.

Amazing work Carlos and truly inspiring! I came here looking for some ideas to build a simple WWII airfield diorama for my Tamiya He 219. I allready set up some concrete slabs made from thick cardboard and was looking to add some vegetation to model next to the runway. Your video gave me the confidence I need to keep going with my first diorama build. Thank you and keep up the good work.

This was absolutely amazing my friend. I came home from work and was trying to finish my reports for the day and your video kept drawing me in. I couldn't stop watching it! I was even a little sick and not feeling well but I just couldn't stop watching this fantastic and professionally made video. You have outdone yourself bud and this is a work that you should be proud of. Thanks for putting in the work and sharing this with us.

Bonjour merci pour cette démonstration très intéressant en diorama et Vaux maquette toujours un plaisir de regarder Vaux vidéo 👍😉

Amazing piece of art, thank you, I have used modling as a therapy, and gives me purpose to get up each morning, you have been an inspiration for me today, thank you, keep up the work.

Great tutorial. Such a pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you very much.

Another great vid Carlos!!!!!! love the idea of using a picture frame for the base,

Carlos, o tutorial está fantástico e o resultado final é espectacular! Obrigado e um abraço

Awesome awesome awesome video thanks for sharing your work

Great Video and Instructional. However, with my ole man hearing, the 'LOUD' music while you are working is very disturbing.... Otherwise love your instructional. Thanks...

Thank you Carlos. That was very interesting and informative, and the results are superb. I like the way you mention specific things such as "let this dry for 30 minutes to an hour" rather than just a generic "let it dry". How long for? 10 minutes? 3 days??? For us novices, little details like that are what make your videos stand out from the crowd.

Best instructional diorama video I've seen, thank you.

very informative. carefully thought out videography (step by step). two thumbs up.

thanks for sharing Carlos Mendes

Carlos great job. Thanks can't wait to start one of my own. This helps a lot.

Excellent tutorial and absolutely beautiful result. Thanks!

Very cool tutorial! I really appreciate you took your time and shared all these steps and thoughts! I guess, I'll have to search a modell for a desert scene now :D

This is the first time I have watched one of your videos and I am very impressed! I enjoyed this tutorial very much and will use the techniques you demonstrated so well! Thank you!

utterly stunning work carlos! it is so interesting to see you work and how you approach certain things. the base is mind blowing, awesome detail and very realistic, definately a piece to be proud of :)

Wow Carlos, what a beautiful work! Very well done!

Very good, thanks for sharing.

very cool tutorial Carlos, I shall keep this as a reference vid. cheers

dropped phone on Face, when the drums started at the beginning was louder than expected

A really useful video, thanks Carlos, has creado un muy buen video tutorial y con tips sencillos de aplicar, muchas gracias!

I don't know why or what's going on in your life. but I'll say this. I think your art is amazing, and I hope you find your MOJO . I'm definitely going to try this.

That was a great how to! Thanks for sharing.

Nice tutorial ! Thank you

Very educational, thank you.

Excellent work👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Definitely looks better the tracks done that way with the plastic wrap

Thanks Carlos for making this video as I found it informative and useful. Not wanting to create more work for you, but if you are making a dio for another build and it is in a different theatre, European, Russian, Pacific or perhaps Indo-China, I would really appreciate it if you could create a video again. Cheers Al

Just watched this for the fifth time. Looks *SO* good!!!

You might want to notice that a Diorama has a story it tells. What you made here is a model base for the tank. Nice video btw.

Thank you, it was a very informative video, and I will be trying some of your techniques.

great vid, really well paced.

Wow! Thank you for doing this video.

Nice work!

Nice tutorial Carlos

cooler than a cool thing in a cool place, ta mate

Amazing!! Looks very realistic!! Thank you for the great lesson!!

Really well done. Thanks for sharing! I'm surprised you didn't set your pigments or clear coat.

excellent tutorial and techniques... I agree music volume fluctuating was rather obnoxious.

Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

Grandissimo talento !

awesome video

Großartig, meinen Glückwunsch und Dank.

AMAZING results! Looks so realistic. It would be nice if you listed your materials in the Description Section or held the large bottle of less expensive pigments to the camera as you did with the masking tape. That way the label can be read and viewers could try to locate and purchase the product. THANK YOU for sharing your considerable talents with us.

brilliant tutorial! very very helpful! thank you very much carlos :D

nice work and beautifull result. very usefull tutorial for beginners as me. Thanks Carlos! regards from Chile!

Very nice jj

Excellent job, and vid, looks so realistic!

Excellent Carlos! Excellent!!!

Andava à procura de um bom tutorial para fazer uma base de deserto para vinheta e a melhor que encontro é de um português ainda por cima :) .parabéns, e obrigado

Great tip with the plastic wrap

Very nice!

Watching it for the gazilionst time cause it always just catches me

Awesome work!!!

i like paint pallet with allumunium foils like thats.

Awesome work man, have a good one aye

Good show, good show.

WOW .. Great tutorial

Absolutely fantastic video. Very inspirational. Thank you so much. Can you tell me the 5 Vallejo colours you used when painting the rocks? My old eyes cannot quite make out the numbers. Thanks again.

thx for sharing all of your process ! :D

excellent work mate !

Top notch tutorial!

Super, thanks

nice

Can you make a list of the products you used and where you bought them. Your video is awesome for a novice to follow step by step.

Is there a way where we can filter out the music or do you have other videos without the music unfortunately have to use a headset and all I am hearing most of the times the music and I have to crank my headset so high that it's really hurting my ears especially when you go off of the Torio and it goes just to the music Parts that I did there were very informal thank you very much for doing this and for the great information and Amy help with my problem will greatly be appreciated

yea...that looks good, and can completed in a day. GREAT base for your tank. do you cover the finished diorama with anything to keep dust away? like a plexiglass? I did for mine, have a look.

Wow, what a beautiful desert scape diorama Carlos. I do have a question, how did you hold all the final pigments in place after you dusted?

Here's another thought that accrued to me I bet for every comment on a video you guys that have the hobby figured out better than others (Me) you get five how did you do this and how did you do that! Lol

Great tutorial! One small note though, you have a bit of a faint voice and at least I have to increase the volume as you speak and the music in between is so much louder so I have to pump the volume up and down constantly. Might be my ears though as I've been suffering from tinnitus for years :) But for the tutorial itself, awesome job!

action starts at 11:00

Excellent !!!!!!!!

carlos...very good work..... one question i would like you to answer.... How did you make the ''waves'' on the sand.........?????????????????

Very very useful i will use it as a reference for a base that im going to do soon. Only one question, after the pigments, you don't use nothing to "protect" it? Thank you Carlos.

4.99s not cheap for a frame get one twice the size for that! You should find that size forma couple bucks! Mind you just spotted the Rolex so maybe cheap to yourself but expensive to me haha The m51 is so cool really nice kit is it the Tamyia or dragon kit you have?

Nice video thanks. What other applications do you use the glass for, from the frame?

Cool video and nice channel so subbed.

Enjoyed the video tutorial very much and learned a few things along the way. If could ask one thing,could you plz balance the sound level between you speaking and the music.(the music is much louder) I watch really early in the morning while the rest of the family is still sleeping. Look forward future offerings. Do you have one for doing an ocean water or river scene in the works? Or do you know of any good ones?

Do you ever use anything to set your pigments?
