Dear Martin: At first i thought „man, this HUGE building ist going to block half of the view of the tank.“ And now im thinking „man, this tank is going to block some parts of the building“. Very well done!
Amazing, just amazing, in the bonsai world, we get rid of the wood fuzzies by lightly burning it with a butane torch, it might work for the balsa wood too?
A good tip for keeping stone walls looking random is to randomly carve some large stones in random places on the wall before carving the rest of the stones. The initially random placement means if you start getting uniform, when you hit the randomly carved stone it will throw off your uniform pattern as it won't match up with it.
Just a note on bricks, like everything in history they vary with time and place. A rough rule of thumb is that the earlier the brick the longer it is and a late 1700s brick would be about 10% longer than a modern brick. Yeah, I know this is rivet-counting but it's something I picked up in architectural history and it's here to be used or ignored.
@@mpk6664 Honestly I'm not sure. I think it was firing techniques may have been different. I think also modern brick sizing which seems to have stabilised around the late 1800s is more robust, there seems to be less cracking of the bricks. But then again I look at the amazing Flemish brick castles and they're standing up just fine :)
@@mpk6664 The width is determined by the fact that it is necessary to hold it easily with one hand The height & length less so important & seemed to be very similar from roman times up until the late 1700s. These were all hand made, so the weight may have been a factor. The main initial reason for the size change in England at least was (according to the Architects Journal), how a new property tax was based on the number of bricks used in a building. Therefore bricks got bigger - so fewer were used. Then parliament taxed larger bricks more, and bricks got smaller again. Eventually the tax was scrapped, and brick size was regulated to 3 or 4 courses per foot depending on location. It remained much the same from 1851 when mass production was started until the metric system was introduced.
Common house bricks in Australia using the metric measurement like most bricks of a similar dimension use a common height (Guage) where they are based off a 2.4m ceiling height. A brick is 76mm + 10mm for a mortar joint (86mm guage) multiply by 7 = 602mm, rounded down to 600mm multiply by 4 = 2.4m . A brick is 230mm in length, divided by 2 = 115mm, half a brick is 110mm. the missing 10mm, 110 + 110 = 220 + 10mm = 230mm is the mortar joint for the perpend (vertical joint). Ergo, a brick is 110 x 76 x 230mm, this is to allow for bonding of the bricks to maintain correct load bearing (half bond) and to enable the half bond to transition a corner. Regardless of bricks being dry pressed (solid, with the indentation called a frog, or extruded, known as wire cut with the holes), bricks can vary up to 10mm in any dimension due to the manufacturing process and how long they are fired for. Hope this helps to understand common brick sizes and dimensions. In bricklaying, we can use a template called a Brick Rod, a length of timber 25x25x2400mm and marked at the appropriate guage, be this bricks, block work etc so to recap, a brick is 230mm + joint 10mm = 240mm, an opening is 240mm + 10mm (the mortar joint at the other end of the brick) = 250mm. The same in the vertical dimension, 10 + 76 + 10mm (the brick and two mortar beds). Again hopefully this helps, especially when you are calculating the size of openings (3D printed windows etc) when working to your scale.
When I looked up common brick sizes in the US there are about 8 common sizes based on 3 or 4 per foot of height. Hey metric is legal here. So no metric jokes. With a 3/8ths allowance for mortar height is 2-5/8 or 3-5/8. Length and widths vary from Econo, 3-5/8 x 3-5/8 x 7-5/8 to widths pretty standard at 3-5/5 and lengths up to 11-5/8. I've been messing with laser engraving brick patterns in HO scale*. The Econo sized bricks are easy to plan out. Best for industrial walls. Residential or business walls are better with longer bricks. One issue with longer bricks is the corners. I can actually cut the brick courses on the ends of the walls and then match fit them on corners. 1mm thick material is pretty close to the scale 3-5/8 plus mortar. Only using illustration board leaves a surface that is very fragile that needs to be re-enforced with some sort of binder. The first ones I actually started with was cinder block embossed into illustration board or 3/32 Basswood. 3/32 comes almost dead on for the 8" height and width. *inspired by ITLA wall modules.
This is a good reason for why UA-cam is a great place! When I was a kid I enjoyed doing things like this but I didn't knew anyone who liked it, I would have loved to find and connect with other likeminded people.
"The Proxxon isn't tall enough for a two storey building." My surreal imagination backflipped at this statement! The build is just incredible but anything less would look rediculous next to that tank. So excited for the painting stage. Don't go near the foam with a butane lighter!...unless you're making bomb-craters - but a heat gun if used with EXTREME care can texture the stuff, but its SOOO risky. Brilliant work Martin, you're an inspiration to all of us makers and not just the plastic kit modellers.
My boyfriend builds plane models and is always showing me your videos. He’s got me hooked even though i’d never have the patience to build them myself.
Love it! I’m planning to make a 2-story Belgian storefront for my future M8 Greyhound diorama. I’ve created a mock-up in CAD, so soon I can print out sheet drawings and cut it out in some foam. Once again, beautiful job! It always amazes me when you transform a block of foam into this very pretty building!
You've got the most important part done, and the rest should be heaps of fun! It's so important to have a sketch in front of you, it makes everything much easier
Wow! Not only a wounderful good loocking house… The tutorial is World-class! Every single step is explained in a slow (but not too slow) easy to understand English! Perfect(!!!) Thank you!
It is always a pleasure to watch Your work. This episode was even better because You made a model without a kit, just by Yourself. It was a plessure to watch what have You done with simple materials that are very common to find, imagination, simple tools, and skilfull hands. Simple but brilliant. Once again you have prooven that: "where there's a will there's a way". Thank You.
Absolutely amazing. The quality of your tutorials are the best on UA-cam. I have struggled with this technique for a long time, don't know why as you make it look so easy. I am looking forward to follow this series.
Yep. This is it. I love Styrofoam building. 10 years ago i see this from Jakub Skolil diorama and isn't simplest solution for me and with best resolution. Great job uncle NS! Btw. I love your stamps and another DIY tools for better work.
Man. I am watching your videos, watching more and more. Hands begin to itch to build models again over few years. You really are inspiration of where you can reach your level if you have patience, time and love for the hobby. I wish you the very best in your life and in everything you do! Thank you for your effort and good luck!
So lucky to use that kind of grey foam that keeps it's shape. We use pink or blue foam here and it has a lot of spring to it so you intend or carve and the foam wants to bounce back.
Nice video. Instead of white pva glue, tho, you could also use hot gun glue which melts under the hot wire when dry. I'm not into dioramas but into RC models and for cutting big wings I also use hot wire and for very thick wings I stick the sheets of foam on top of each other and always use hot glue gun when cutting them. Cheers.
For the stone textures roll a very small ball of tin (aluminium) foil and glue it to the end of a paintbrush :) Love the look of the diorama, can't wait to see it take shape!
Brilliant work, you make carving the foam look so easy, i think it is with your planning, i seem to just go right in, think i need to start planning a little more cant wait for part 2
Fantastic effort. Thank you for posting. I will translate your work down to 1/87 scale for my model railroad. You are truly a Master craftsman. Thanks again for sharing your artistic talents.
Damn, that is the single most elaborated, detailed and articulated model house I have ever seen. Whats better? It's made almost entirely out of styrofoam.
@@NightShiftScaleModels If you would like to place some kind of object on a tank which in real life has a relatively large volume, but soft, squishy texture which can be deformed easily by various contacts (for ex. a mattress for wathever reason) styrofoam would be the best material to sculpt it out from, since 3D printing it would be, dare I say, too static looking.
@@NightShiftScaleModels Of course, but as you said, there is something special about unpainted stuff, like tanks, especially with armour texture and some PE parts, dioramas that look just like they are done and these buildings :-)
Well done foam master ! 👍🏻😊 Take your time, not having a strict weekly new video is not a problem, obviously. We are model kit makers, we are patient 😁
This looks amazing and promising. I'm just finished a tiny french facade with a boulangerie in 1/72, this could have worked for inspiration. I can't wait to see it painted!
I have done a lot of carving of brick and stone in Hydrocal and plaster of Paris but never with foam like this. So thanks for the info, I already ordered a hot wire cutting machine from Amazon and some foam to work with. Looks like fun.
Hi Martin, this has been great to watch and has answered so may questions I would have had otherwise. You break it down in a simple way which certainly makes it easier to follow for those of us that are just starting a first diorama.👍
This is so next level! I built a full size brick wall for my Dr Who Tardis installation and thought I did pretty well. This detail in this work is just so far out near Pluto! Awesome modelling techniques and tips. I'll definitely be watching this and the follow up vid several times! Thank you!
You have some crazy skills man, from the raw material to the end product, it’s amazing man. You have some serious imagination and great visual creativity. Great job man.
Well what a job! your video is very well filmed and very well explained. Allow me to draw inspiration from your work to create now myself, my own buildings. Thank you again and well done. I'll go watch the other videos.
Just a thought but for bricks and "projecting" sketches/images into foam, what about that stencil paper tattooists use? It can bend to any shape and transfers well!
Very enjoyable Martin! Just love it how a piece of insulation comes to life. I loved the tile/typewriter sequence very much 👌 I am definitely gonna use this styrofoam method on a next build. Starting small of course 👌😄
hint for nightshift, try making a punch from an old brush, remove hairs and bend iron part into form of brick, one the size of a brick, other half a brick, makes it easier to make wall faster. ;)

Imitation of brick and masonry is beyond praise. The whole process is described in great detail and clearly. I would like to see how all this will look after painting. Like!
I can imagine how it's not such a common construction material in countries with warmer climate. But it's also used for protecting house foundations against water and erosion, so maybe there's a chance to find it somewhere? :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels Brazil is such a country. In 10 years, i've never seen this anywhere. For now, i'm using foam used in air conditioning, but, the shape and form you coukd only use in small scales.
Thank you so much, Martin, for sharing your skills in modelling from styrofoam. I only recently shifted away from modeling in plastic / styrene only to paper products and wood, but the use of styrofoam in modelling stone structures is fantastic! Thank you for the well-presented explanations, tips, and step-by-step demonstration recorded of your masterpieces becoming reality!
Dear Martin: At first i thought „man, this HUGE building ist going to block half of the view of the tank.“ And now im thinking „man, this tank is going to block some parts of the building“. Very well done!
I wanted to make it extra tall because in the T29 diorama, the whole barn got hidden behind the tank :D
I can’t wait to see it paint with the jagdpanther, great job!
Thanks, painting it was soooo much fun!
Amazing, just amazing, in the bonsai world, we get rid of the wood fuzzies by lightly burning it with a butane torch, it might work for the balsa wood too?
Balsa is approximately 50% wood fibers /50% air. It burns like nothing else.
That's a cool trick, might work for the harder veneer wood!
@@NightShiftScaleModels don’t night shift. Balsa wood is the type of wood that is most flammable, I don’t recommend it
Wow seeing Nigel Saunders on a Night Shift video... What a fantastic crossover :D
The mild torching works well for “singeing” chickens too. Gets rid of the pin feather fuzzies, lol.
This is my favourite series, and it just gets better!
Can we have a KV-85 next?
I'm thinking of having to make a railroad for my Pershing, this'll be both helpful and fun.
Brick train station, yummy
