Sadly, it looks just like the roof on my house now!! I really enjoyed the video Martin!!
Thanks Nigel, now I feel a bonsai would look nice behind one of the windows! :)
Hi Nigel good to see you here, I'm a sub to your channel..
Wow, what a fantastic Venn overlap of interests ... And I feel privileged to be in it. :) ❤️
man.... that is really awesome. YOU ought to be in the movie industry... making minatures... They still use them. WOW.
Martin....you should be model building in the major film studios! The quality of this work is just ridiculously good!!
Exceptional... 😁👍
My jaw dropped when you finally revealed those cracks painted and highlighted. For a split second I refused to believe that you actually painted those by hand. Great job, and I really like how this work turned out.
Those painted cracks is a trick I learned from my diorama sensei Volker Bembennek. Most of the techniques used on this house come from his work, he's the real MVP! If you google his name you'll find many of his amazing works!
@@NightShiftScaleModels Thank you for your recommendation, I'll take a look at his creations. Keep up the good work, I really appreciate the effort put into creating those dioramas.
I can't imagine making such a building from styrofoam! Awesome!
It's hard to imagine until you try it out! I was in the same position earlier this year :)
Oh, I'm very early now. Well, wanted to say, I'm always in awe of what you do each video, and I'm really pumped for the final dio🤘
That is fantastic work, and it was deeply satisfying seeing it come together!
That was so cool especially the sign. Most people don't own the airbrush painter but it sure does come in handy for this project.
The fact that this started out life as a humble, non-descript block of styrofoam is simply mind-boggling.
In case you're wondering, Byrrh is an aromatised wine apertif made of red wine. It was more popular in the early 20th century than today.
I'm amazed to see how good the rocks look. I would NOT believe it if someone told me that this warm grey basecoat + watered down light color could give such a nice result. I really like how you mention the various references and how you let them kind of guide your thought process. And I need to get myself some of that ballast fixer :D
That wood coloring and orange staining from rusty nails really reminded me of what I saw at my grandparets' houses in their villages. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the wood grain, looks quite aggressive. When you type in 'old fence' into google images you can see a lot of those grey washed out planks, but the wood grain is barely visible without a serious zoom in. Or maybe it's just your camera work being too good and it catches those sharp color changes too well :D
One would normally assume that neutral grey, or even cold, bluish tones would be appropriate for stones. However, I've seen it done in other dioramas and didn't quite like the result. Rocks are often dusty, covered in lichen and whatnot, so they naturally look "warmer".
You're making a good point about the woodgrain. I got carried away because it was a new, fast and easy technique :D
Just amazing watching this house come to "life". Clear explanation and a great result. Just one thing though: when applying the wash to the moss did the PVA glue not dissolve?
The PVA dries really fast and it won't budge :) You can go to town with watered down acrylics.
@@NightShiftScaleModelsMany thanks for your reaction :-) Because I normally use watered down PVA when I want to put on static grass etc. and when I saw you put on the wash the first thing I thought was isnt that going to give some issues with the PVA?
@@marckoppelman7170 Not all PVA's are the same. It took me a long time to figure that out. What you're looking for is a PVA for exterior use that's water resistant. Interior use PVA's tend to reactivate when soaked in water. I'd suggest you go to a store and check the descriptions of different PVA's. I've been using a wood glue which claims that it's intended for both interior and exterior use, is also water resistant and I have no issues when applying washes :)
@@stavros_SX I just checked my stock and both bottles should be water resistant ;-)
I live in France and Byrrh is a product that still exists. I've used it to make cocktails before.
I agree with you that it is more satisfying to create something completely on your own, instead of just building a model!
Wow ! Awesome, really love how the advertising letters came out!👍 Building is looking great !
i just love how even he isn´t like a super profesional that can do everything out the book but rather he learns doing things and i can just only respect that!
love your videos and can´t wait to learn more.
Uncle Nightshift videos are what make my Friday’s complete. :-)
Never a dull video. Painting the antique sign is brilliant! Thanks
Woooooow!!! Simply AMAZING!!! Great job!!!
Fantastic results
Absolutely brilliant!
What a stunner. Truly inspiring.
Just brilliant.
Ridiculously amazing.
Absolutely fantastic. Extremely well done
Absolutely amazing
THIS IS CRAZY!!! WOW!!!
Absolutely Amazing!
Amazing ... !! Stunning !! WOW !! Great video with truly awesome results !!!
Great job. All the weathering and detail on the house really brought it to life.
Awesome ,details and realism pushed to the extreme !!! 👍👍
Amazing. I not only love the whole build, but all the little lessons about how different things react with other things, like moss turns cement into soil. I did not know that. Also, using the absorbing effects of wood vs non absorbent 3D printed elements. This is next level modelling.
Such perfection for such an old building! This video blew my mind, loved it!
Absolutely Amazing! You are the Master no Doubt!
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
GLAD TO SEE THIS!
simply AMAZING!!!
that looks incredible
Many thanks… love your artistry…. Your the best uncle
Talk about inspiration.... Well done
Outstanding!!!! Wow 😮
Gorgeous!!!
Beautiful work.
Utterly incredible and has changed how I approach wood
I just fell into this randomly to say my mind is blown is an understatement, I'm dying to try my hand at it I just know I don't have the creativity level to carry it out
Magnificent work....YOU THE MAN!
pure magic
What a beautiful tutorial both sculpting and painting 🖌️🎨
yellow mortar, is old type of mortar made of lime and sand, variations of it (it is dependent on location and lime / sand) were used most notably on medieval castles, but before and after. Grey mortar you are more used to, is Portland cement based. Portland cement in large enough quantities was only available from like mid to late 1800's, but it was expensive, more so if you had to ship it to rural areas so lime mortar was used well into mid 20th century, and is still used in renovations and such.
My hats off to you sir!! I enjoyed the vid immensely!
Honestly Martin, you've outdone yourself once again. That building looks absolutely stunning!
This looks so good! Masterful weathering.
Bravo! Excellent job!
Incredible work!!
Outstanding modelling, so many excellent tips. Thank you for what you do.
This looks incredible!
One of the best house builds I've seen. Great work as usual.
Just fantastic!
It amazes me that you can achieve this much detail with your weekly timeframe. Can’t wait to see the diorama come together. 👍
This is the most times I've thought "Damn, this is a nicely finished model, I wonder what will he do in the next 10 minutes" during a video ever.
I throughly impressed.
Your work is fenominal!.
Very well done, sir.
Awesome job. Your best work yet.
Amazing work, wow!
Fantastic, you’re an artist!
brilliant! so realistic!
Amazing, you are an artist and have the patience of a Saint.
That is one of the most amazing architectural dioramas I have ever seen. You are trully an inspiring artist.
Wonderful 👍👍👍
Soooooooo good. Wowie.
This is honestly the best work you have done to date and some of the best I've ever seen when it comes to scale buildings. Can't wait to see this integrated into the base.
formidable super technique bravo
Superb job!!
EXCELLENT ART!!!!
incroyable. the mossy roof in particular is amazing.
Very nice Martin! I think what impresses me the most is how you blend all of the contrasting shapes and colors together to make it look like real brick, stone, wood & glass.
It's usually about working with the same color palette, such as using mostly the same colors on wood and rocks, but also blending different textures with washes, filters and whatnot :)
Again I'm in awe of your talent, planning and absolute artistic ability! I haven't modeled in 40 years but am tempted to dive back in after watching you. Some of the kits I've seen you work are much more detailed than they were when I was modeling!
Magnifique, spectaculaire, qu'elle réalisme. !!!!😃👍🥰🥰
Love the sign Fantastic
Looks soooooooooooooo good!
To je prostě naprostá paráda. Obdivuji tvou tvorbou s tvými výsledky 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Phenomenal work!
It's just amazing!
loved both video on this French house, you have given me lots of tips as am in the middle of doing a Min-art house for france june 1940. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible!
Bluffant ! Chapeau.
Congratulations! Your work is inspiring!
Awesome build, totally agree with scratch building architecture being more rewarding than building a kit. The painted sign is a great touch. The finished building is top notch, enjoy your festive season!
Stunning. The attention to detail is beyond Pluto!!!
Very impressive.
This is definitely museum quality.
Super impressive paint job. I appreciate your attention to detail, patience and skill.
I have zero interest on modelling, but watching you at work, and listening, is like therapy. The minutes just gently roll by. Great stuff, and so very talented.
Excellent job
Fantastic job!
Bravo. Lovely work. Your results are quite natural looking as usual. As a kid, I helped my uncle repair those old cement and slate roofs. I recall houses just like this.
I take my hat off to you sir!! Absolutely breathtaking work!!..🤯🤯👌👌😍😍
Absolutely masterclass, top video, thanks!.
As always, fantastic! Thanks for sharing your work and techniques.
My mind is blown! Amazing! Thank you
Phenomenal work. Awesome attention to detail with superb weathering techniques.
