- In this video I build a Ruined Temple Jungle Diorama. I use lots of easily found materials and also so natural elements collected from the great outdoors. If you have any questions about techniques please feel free to message me in the comments below. Hope you enjoy!!
I've absolutely devoured your videos over the past week or so. You've truly inspired me to start making my own pieces for both my table top games and my action figure photography. Thanks for making this so accessible and showing your work so thouroughly, even the mistakes. It means so much to someone like me who easily gets discouraged at a lack of perfection in my own work.
Ahhh the constant search for perfection. It is something that any creative wrestles with. For me I guess I try to balance my search for perfection and striving for the highest standards with the time I have available. On good thing about doing stuff for youtube is you have to set yourself time deadlines which means you have hard parameters to work within. Either way glad I help spark something and wish you the best with your builds.
What a great vibe! It’s really interesting to see that you prime or paint just about everything. I think it’s tempting to leave materials whatever color they come in when you really want to control the overall color scheme. Use real dirt… but paint the dirt… dirt colored… seems crazy but it’s necessary. Also a great tip to hit everything with some sort of unifying wash or glaze or tone - gotta remember that one.
This was the second model I built for youtube - I have learned lots more since and discovered the beauty of using natural materials in their unpainted form. But thank you for your tip - they are always very welcome 🙏
I'd like to see a "Jungle Temple 2.0" vid-- to see you incorporate what you've learned
😁👍
Have you ever thought of adding LED lights to your projects? A cool red glow from inside the ruined temple might look cool and add a neat dynamic!
Yeah man I have been keen to try leds. Never used them before but I'm sure it's not too complicated. Maybe something for a future video. 👍
I've been browsing some diorama videos for inspiration for the jungle temple booknook I'm creating and this absolutely blew me away! It reminded me of something that Indiana Jones would stumble upon, haha. I really enjoyed watching your creative process and seeing the whole piece come together. I'm definitely going to check out more of your videos!
Fantastic! When someone else creative finds inspiration in my work then that makes me truly happy. Plenty more videos of me gluing my fingers together haha. Thanks for watching
I love how a simple pencil becomes the line maker, the texturizer, the illustrator tool… whatever you need. Lovely work, my friend.
Thank you! Ah yes, the humble pencil. Haha
that's when you know you have a real creative talent
Dude add some gi joe action figures in that awesome ruin of yours lol
If you have any ideas or want me to make something specific please let me know below!
Wow , I love what you have come up with here mate . It's up to you of corse but it needs a few snakes and lizards .....maybe . It doesn't really need it though. I love it ....
Hahaha thank you so much. Yeah a little wildlife would be fun... Next time haha
Awesome build. I'm a little late to the party. I hope you're still creating.
Haha yes indeed. If you liked this one I built something similar more recently. I think you'll like that one too. Welcome and thanks for watching
So glad this came up on my recommended list. You are incredibly talented. I can't wait to watch more of your videos! :)
Great Job. I think a spray coat of gloss lacquer in the end would have made it look a bit more like a tropical rain forest.
Nice idea Jay. I have another jungle build planned in the near future so maybe I will give it a try. 👍
Well, that was fun, thanx youtoops for recommending this one. I have no creative tips I just like watching others let their imagination run wild =) More ruins please!
I think the UA-cam algorithm brought me to your channel, based on the other diorama/crafting channels I watch. I'm glad I found your channel! Now I have a whole new library of content to check out.
Nice , would have liked to see maybe a jaguar in the mix .
Haha thanks for watching. If you stare long enough maybe you will see one. But I hear they are pretty rare 😉
Amazing!!!!!! This could be easily a Tomb Raider level location!!! Love it!!!
Right out of Indiana Jones! Looks very real.
That’s really good. It reminds me of the ruins in Cambodia - Angkor Wat. Tree roots everywhere. Lighting would be a great highlight too. It would give a fantastic subtlety and drama to your creation. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍 I did look at a lot of references images some of which were from Angkor Wat so I guess that carried through. Glad you liked it 👍 😊
All we need is a little tomb raider in front of it and it's finished.
It keeps surprising me that ordinary household things can be transformed into works of art. i think the paint brings everything together and is the make it or break it factor in all the diorama builds
I completely agree. The painting process is one of the most important steps. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
You never disappoint! Thank you much!
You should most definitely do a build for a 7” Neca predator 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This maybe something for a future video! I am planning another jungle type theme so this may well feature as part of that project
@@creativecuts7803 I’m a predator collector and I’m going to be building my own so your videos will come up trumps for me to follow…. Especially the woodland or jungle ones lol 👌
The floating island was epic!
Could even do a avatar floating island diorama 😱😱
I hear ya and hope your projects go well. There will defo be more woods/jungle coming soon. Part of what makes it fun is drawing from my own imagination
Nice job. Very talented and great vision. There is still few spots for adding fauna. Tarantulas, snakes other creepy insects.
Brilliant work really captured my imagination .
How fun! I can imagine King Kong stepping thru! Nice detailing!
Who knows what lurks in the jungle. I will be revisiting this theme soon, stay tuned!
Make sure you grab the red stone parts after you finish solving the puzzle.
flash backs
Awesome Diorama ! Subscribed ✅
Cheers Philip! Much appreciated. I got another jungle video planned using really premium quality plants.
I use hot glue. For the foam. Less movement. Pros and cons however, Hot glue is hot! Little glue stringers are a pain too. Sick use of the vines. You are next level.
Cheers dude. I use hot glue too now. Since I got a variable temperature glue gun I haven't looked back. The strings can be a little annoying but I've learned to live with it haha
Still watching that was so good from a Skulls head.
What do you do with these after you’re done? I would love to visit a museum with these kind of miniatures.
I use many on my Tabletop and have a few on display around the house. But I am running out of space so I my start selling a few here and there.
Totally beautiful and the natural materials work so well
Cheers dude 👍 much appreciated
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Thank you for an idea of something a Grandpa can do with his archeology loving 10 yo grandson. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Glad I could be some source of inspiration. Hope your project with your grandson goes well. 👍
The small skulls on the sides turn to look at you whenever you walk by. Right?
Like you need to ask haha. That goes without saying. Thanks for watching
those skull columns reminde me the aztec Tzompantli, wich was a wall made of human skulls. Really cool work!
Thanks. Very kind of you to say. I love any temples or ruins so was happy to get into some good research for this one. Thanks for watching 👍
I enjoy this process video as it really helps giving me an idea on how I want this abandoned temple to look when I make one. It's amazing
Great 👍 good luck with your build
Please do some brick wall or garage stuff good for 1/24 scale. Maybe parking lots or garages. I’m attempting a small Batcave. Just something to display 8 1/32 scale Batmobiles from all the movies. Not trying to copy anyone’s or any movie just my own Batmobile garage scene.
Hey Ken glad you found your way round to a few other videos. I'm currently away on a work trip but will be back in a couple weeks. I have a few other project in the pipeline but consider your request added to the list. A great way to do bricks is carving them into foam (Styrofoam or xps foam), use a ruler and you can adjust to any scale you need. Then a sharp pencil or similar will get you a nice groove. Make sure you seal it with diluted pva glue or mod podge and then paint away.
@@creativecuts7803 Thank you so much! Enjoy your work trip and stay safe!
so cool thanks for the inspo
Cheers buddy you are very welcome
This deserves more subscribers
Très belle réalisation, on s'attend à voir surgir Indiana Jones, poursuivi par une tribu d'indigènes ... ou alors King Louie, Baloo et Moogli.
Very nice achievement, we expect to see Indiana Jones appear, pursued by a tribe of natives ... or so King Louie, Baloo and Moogli.
A Predator action figure would fit good in there. Learned some new techniques. Thanks
Glad to help. More videos on the way soon
Nice. Thanks for the inspiration ✌🏼
Your very welcome thank you for watching
@@creativecuts7803 Almost done. !1/12th scale diorama.It’s to display some stored and new figures.
I have a entire backstory in my head. Thanks again.Outside of helping set up a. Christmas nativity scene. All I got is an imagination,transferable skills and now time. If you are ever in the middle of the Atlantic. I got a spot.Cheers.
@@DaveSstation azures?
should have added a little figurine of Lara Croft at the entrance then it would really be epic
Funnily enough your not the first to say this haha. Maybe I will revisit this jungle theme and include her in my adventures. 👍
El diorama esta bien, pero el video final puede mejorar bastante
Haha this was my second ever video. Things have improved a lot. Thanks for watching
Cool it looks badass
👍👍
Aqua plants..I would have never thought of that.
Your absolutely a genius!!!
You are too kind. Thanks for watching.
@@creativecuts7803 a pleasure
Just Amazing!
👍👍
You are amazing!
I don't know about amazing haha. Just having fun and sticking my fingers together. Thanks for watching
I'm curious why you didn't leave the vines and crushed leaf clutter unpainted using their natural colours. Regardless the final product is amazing as always. Great videos!
Really liked this video! You've got a new subscriber in me! Keep making great dioramas! I have a request or suggestion: how about making a floating island diorama? There's plenty of artwork of them but almost no dioramas!
Brilliant work!
Thanks!!
Another winner!
EXCELENTE 111
👍👍👍
does natural elements like those roots last long¿¿ does the paint protect them from degradation¿¿
I tend to use dead stuff. Dead branches etc and give it time in my studio for any creepy crawlies to find a new home. As long as there is no rot, then it should hold up pretty well. Moss and stuff will yellow with time, but you can stabilize natural elements in glycerin which will give them a long life. They may yellow but a good coat of paint and it should last years. You can do this yourself or diorama precipe sells a ridiculous selection of plants great for hobbies. ✌️🖖👍
@@creativecuts7803 cool, im definitely gonna try this, it can save a lot of time. Thank you!
This chanced across my feed, and I'm already in love. Marvelous work! You've got yourself a new subscriber!
I love the look of the natural materials, I just hope I figure out the secret to finding the good stuff...my area seems to have very linear plant life rather than the good squiggly stuff.
Same here!
Thank you for your kind words. More videos coming soon!!
Roots.
This is really cool
Thank you very much. Lots more on the channel if you like this kind of thing. 👍
nice work
Really cool
Thank you so much. Really appreciated 🙏
This is different from other builds I’ve seen. Well done.
Thank you. I'm not sure of you mean different from other things I have built or different from other youtubers. Either way I take it as a compliment. If you like this kind of thing my next video is very similar in theme. Stay tuned 😉
Brilliant
Awesome!
Thanks!! 👍👍
Subscribed! I am really enjoying your videos. Please keep them coming!!
Well done
👍👍👍
Cool...
👍👍👍
Wow!
PSA: Don’t use gorilla glue in your hair.. rip Harambe
Whats the name of the board you use?
Do you mean the foam? It is called xps foam - a great modelling material. If you mean the wood board to house the model - it is just regular MDF. Hope that helps a bit
The green misting worked beautifully. Whole thing is terrific - congratulations.
Thank you! Really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for stopping by 👍
Very cool! Congrats!
Dead crayola markers can be used to make columns and such as well. Take them apart, cut the felt end off and lightly sand with fine sandpaper to get rid of the labels and remove the shine from them. This also gives the plastic a tooth to attach paint onto the surfaces later.
Nice tip man, I have since built up a collection of all manner of tubes and fun it items to use in further builds. Really appreciate you watching and tha ks for getting involved 👍
Great Content...just cut out the music please
Oh wow! I love the look of ruined temples and shrines in the jungle, ever since watching the Jungle Book as a kid. Would love to see more like this one 👍🏻
Dude, thank you for getting involved and spreading the love. Always appreciate the kind words. And I loved the jungle book - takes me back to my childhood.
@@creativecuts7803 welcome! Your build looks great!! Looking forward to seeing your future builds ☺️
Be nice if I could hear where you were saying ...
Please!... The gray foam you used where can this be found?? Thanks!! And your work is outstanding!!!👍💥👍💥👍💥
Thanks man, really appreciate your kind words. I get the xps foam from Bluefoam UK via amazon. I am based in the UK so its easy to order from a UK based company as they offer a range of sizes. It is also often sold as insulation board in large sheets at your local hardware suppliers. Hope that helps a little. Give me a shout if you need more info.
Wow, love this creation. It always astounds me what you can make from random bit n pieces. Have subscribed I was so impressed!
Very kind of you to say. Thanks for watching
I love his projects but I've never seen anyone use so much gorilla glue. lol I'm pretty sure you could use a lot less, it'll make your projects a lot cheaper too; that glue isn't cheap! I know the super glue is one dot per square inch of space. Anyway, I loved this project - I love all your projects, they make me want to get creative 😁
Haha I got given a box by a colleague and what you don't see on camera is that I also have a big box of cheap school grade pva which I often supplement. The super glue I get in bulk from amazon which saves a few bucks but I also prefer to use quality products which I can rely on, which I can say for many cheaper brands. Either way really glad you find some inspiration from my projects and hope you create something wonderful with your creative urge.
@@creativecuts7803 That makes more sense. I suppose coming from someone who usually has to substitute items b/c I can't always afford what I want I get mild anxiety seeing product used so liberally. Bulk purchasing is always smart, it's what I do for my clay. I sculpt more often than not, building everything almost from scratch to make it look the way I want. I'm going to make a lighthouse scene that's fallen apart from neglect with a ship graveyard at it's base. We'll see how it goes, I get an idea and just see what happens as I go along - much like your builds. :)
@@creativecuts7803 Oh you should check out Hoo's Mini World, want to talk about talent! He's a 3D Pen artist and I've never seen someone who has that much patience and talent for such small details. Absolutely inspiring! I think you'd really appreciate his talent.
@@nanuq83 sounds like a plan!! 😉 good luck and would love to see the result
@@creativecuts7803 I'll send a few pictures when I'm done! It'll be a month but I won't forget :)
Beautiful, detailed, work.
Cheers dude👍
Super cool work of Art👍👍👍
Thank you sir. It was a bit of an experiment but it came out pretty well. Definitely learned lots in the process. More videos like this one the way soon
Use Iso Propyl (rubbing Alcohol) or dishwashing detergent to help break the surface tension to make easier mixing of your "goop"
Nice tip man! Cheers. I do it with my washes and mediums but never thought to add it to much thicker mixes
the blue barracuda team is taking the lead
I want to build something like this for my Indiana Jones figures
Glad I could provide some inspiration.
That was a awesome technique for the forest floor
Thanks mate, glad you liked it
You have yet another new subscriber tonight! Wildly creative!
Really appreciate the kind words.
Awesome Build!!
Thanks dude. Much appreciated 🙏 👍
@@creativecuts7803 Any chance you could give any more details on the high density foam that you used? I’m trying to source some myself and I would love to use the same material you did.
@@tylersuter9706 I get mine from Bluefoamuk but I'm based in London so delivery is convenient. I get a box of 20mm 10 A3 sheets for £25 on Amazon. They use a couple of thin sheets of foam to pack the outside which is really useful too. Any xps foam should work. Insulation board has a similar texture but each on will vary a little bit, some will be slightly denser than others but all will ultimately function in the same way.
@@creativecuts7803 Brillant, thanks a lot!
Great job ! Where is Indi ?
AWESOME!!!
Thanks!!
Very impressive, thank you for sharing
Much appreciated. More videos on the way soon
If you want to cut plastic without breaking it, heat up a hobby knife on the stove and cut it with that.works great but stinks to high heaven.😉
Haha I concure
Thank you for this...I subbed to your channel
You are welcome. More videos on the way!!
Great tutorial. The temple looks fantastic in its overgrown state, and it's great to see how it is built up out of regular materials. Did you find the primer and paint stuck OK to the plastic plants? I tried this once but even Tamiya primer just flaked off the plants.
Thank you man. Really appreciate your kind words!! I just used regular car primer and it worked OK. It is prone to scratching. I did wash the plastic plants in washing up liquid before primer to remove any oils etc. Dont know if this helped but it felt like a good idea at the time.
I really like the overgrown thing you got going there, well done!
Thanks. Appreciate the support. More videos on the way soon
You need a bigfooot creatcher
Hahaha maybe I will build one next
For what scale did you made this Temple? 1/72 1/35 1/48?
The scale works for 28/32mm minis.
Thats super cool I love it! Well I love all kinds of Castles, maybe this would be an interesting topic? Greetings from Germany
This looks great. Do you steralise the lichen and dirt you use in your models and if so how?
Thank you sir! The lichen is actually reindeer moss and is stabilised so no need to sterilise. The dirt i bake in the oven first to try to remove any bacteria etc but it is already very dry at the point of collection so I dont really have any worries about mould or similar. I have also experimented with using actual moss and soaking it in glycerin for 48-72 hours and this basically plasticises it. Over time the green colour will fade to a more yellowish colour but a quick coat with an airbrush will keep the colour constant. Hope that helps a little. Shout if you want any more info 👍👍
This is right up my alley!!!! Thanks!!! Subbed!!!
Thanks man. I'm happy it appeals to you. More videos on the way👍
Cool it looks badass
Super cool
Thank!! Glad you liked the video
Cool bro I like ur simplicity with some good results. I'll be looking out for ur new videos we need inspiration keep them coming!
Just need Indy and you got a set piece!
One of the best terrain videos I have seen on UA-cam so far! Please more of this!!
Thank you so much for your very kind words. New videos are on the way.
@@creativecuts7803 your welcome :) - can't wait!
Very nice. Amazing... I have subscribe your Chanel... Sorry my Englisch I am from Switzerland.. Alex 😊😊👍👍
Thank you for taking the time to watch. More videos on the way👍
You are welcome.. That's nice... I have also a Chanel... Alex😊👍
