Wars are brutal no matter how sophisticated the weapons, so relating the story of this WW1 conflict must include the horrors that existed in abundance during those four years. You have depicted the scene with realism and detail evoking the struggle for survival....congratulations! It will be another terrific episode when you share the painting process so will be keen to see that come to fruition in the future.
36:11 you should add an extra sheet of metal to his helmet, like a lot of German stormtroopers did. It would 100% add to the look of the "heavy unit with machine gun", as well as be historically accurate.
Yes you are right! Thank you very much for your hint! Actually, I was and I am aware that many machine gunners and observation guards had these steel plates on their helmets and therefore I have experimented with detaching these plates from styrene molds of these helmets from the company ICM, as they are unfortunately cast on the helmet, but unfortunately this did not work out. Furthermore, I have also tried to make a correct steel plate with aluminum foil, but unfortunately I have not yet managed to produce an authentic and very good result with it, which is why I had discarded the idea in this case. But I will try again!!
@@ModeliteDiorama Yeah, great to hear that you tried, and it would be incredible to see you try again! It's so rare to see a content creator interested in the first world war, keep up the exellent work!
I am very happy that the theme of the Great War is becoming more and more popular in modelling. I like your performance very much, you have talent. Good luck my friend. I look forward to the continuation.
Incredible work. I love how the finished unpainted diorama still shows off the amount of effort you put into it by showing all the various materials and additions you made. I almost like unpainted models more than painted when they are super detailed with photo etch, putty, etc.
Thank you very much for your kind words! And yes me too. Unpainted models and dioramas with lots of PE, putty, etc. always look appealing to me too! :D
Thank you for your brilliant diorama. I was raised by my grandfather who fought in the British army as a 16 year old, who fought at the Somme, was shot and captured. This diorama brought back memories of the conversations I used to have with him as a teenager regarding his horrific experiences in trench warfare. You certainly captured the horror of war.
Thank you so much for your great comment! I was very happy that this work fits so well with the stories and horrific experiences of your grandpa and I think there is no greater praise for such a work!
That is a stunning piece of work my friend……👏👏👏😧 Fabulous attention to detail in the trench, and the groundwork itself. The time & patience just to create the sandbags alone👌The trench floor, supporting walls, dug out - excellent! I’m building my own little trench section currently, & was going to create a wall myself using very thin twigs. But the bristles from a broom is genius!💡🧹 I’m afraid I’ll have to pinch that idea…. Congratulations on a fine model, the figure conversions & improvements too are very clever, the presentation of the video itself excellent - well done😌👍
Thank you very much for your very nice comment! And thank you very much for the praise of the broom technique, but it's not mine, it's from Martin Kovac from the nightshift UA-cam channel, from whom I pinched the technique myself :). I wish you every success with your first world war project and can't wait to see the result! Best regards!
Getting ready to build a German trench, going to be using copper wire for the wicker, but great idea using the hot air gun good tip as was the floor planking from veneer! Fab build BTW!
Ich bin beeindruckt von den ganze Details und wieviel Zeit und Konzentration in dem Diorama steckt!!! Und krass, das ist das erste über 18 Jahre Diorama was ich bis heute gesehen habe!!!!
Thank you very much for your kind and motivating words! And don't worry, I'm working on it, but first an interim project will be published within the next month, which will give a foretaste of this diorama!
Eine tolle Dioramagestaltung mit guter Präsentation des Weges dahin. Das Diorama ist eine wohl recht genaue Wiedergabe der damaligen Wirklichkeit. Die komplette Szene spiegelt gut detailliert wieder, wie die Abläufe so gewesen sein dürften. Gut getroffen, die Gegend von Verdun. Wenn man aus einem Trichter heraussteigt, steht man im nächsten drin! Mit der kompletten Bemalung wird das Diorama sicherlich noch eindringlicher. Eine meisterliche Arbeit. Gruß, Joachim
Hallo Joachim, vielen Dank für deine netten Worte! Und ja, die Gegend von Verdun ist immer noch sehr eindrücklich, sehr gut erhalten und unfassbar zugänglich. Wenn man mit dem Auto durch die zerstörten Ortschaften und aufgeforsteten Schlachtfelder, wo die Wälder immer noch komplett von Trichtern durchsetzt sind, fährt, bekommt man richtig ein Gefühl für die Größe dieser ungeheuerlichen Materialschlachten.
Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I've noticed a few problems with the terrain that I need to address before painting. Especially the tank and some of the large stones are not yet perfectly integrated into the ground. But thank you very much for your sub! You also do great things, I subscribed straight away too!
Very nicely done. No glory in war, any attempt to soften it would be to offer the lie that there is. Would love to see the fully painted & finished model.
Hi Julian Looks great , excellent paint and weathering job buddy . Looks cool and very realistic . Keep on the good work and model on . Have a nice Sunday and bench time :) Greetings Ozzy
This is an awesome diorama! I’ve been meaning to make a ww1 diorama of All Quiet On the Western Front and will definitely take inspiration from your video!
Thank you very much for these very big words! That's very kind, but save these superlatives for other work, like the work from the UA-camr Night shift!
yeah, don't nail me on it, i haven't used miliput yet, but i think both of these puttys are actually almost the same thing as can be seen in this table: www.greenstuffworld.com/img/cms/EN%20GSW%20PUTTIES%20COMPARATIVE.pdf

Since I have changed my branding again and my modeling and video quality has improved steadily, the important analytics such as click rate and watchtime have also improved enormously and thus also the general clicks. But as you know very well too, you never know how that will develop further on UA-cam :D Btw. Verdun would certainly be something for you, as a lost-place lover too. There are still so many old bunkers, defenses and almost collapsed forts around, which go deep underground and are all accessible :D
Wow das ist ja Mega. Viel Aktion in der Szene. Tolle Arbeit von Dir. Bin schon gespannt auf die Bemalung. Ich liebe solche Geschichten wo so viele Figuren und Details sind. P.s habe ein Video gemacht wo ich Stachel Draht selber herstelle Mfg Olli aus der Bastel Bude
Looking forward to seeing you paint her up/finish! -This is a GOOD THING youre depicting what really HAPPENS during warfare of any type-the horrific human costs involved. Its still subtle, not overly done. I see zero reason why anyone would take issue with such, when most tolerate "Forever Conflicts" as normalcy & matter of contemporary Govt/Corporate politics masquerading as foreign policy? Ive always found it difficult &/or somewhat corny regarding combat-themed dios, as its pretty difficult to render in 1/35th the dynamic ferocity of close quarters battle, no matter the era/battles depicted. Youve totally knocked it outta the park in regards to such with the figure mods!... ~Well done. Best one Ive yet to see/view.... -I think thats why I stick to the 'Behind The Scenes' variety in its stead... -Dig the music used in vid too, I find the similar 'Wir Sind Schwarze Haufen' tune about Florian Geyer's early 1500's Black Company, when he worked with that admirable lovable maniac, Goetz Von Berlichingen. The song/vid showing the lyrics almost needs a sing-along red 'Bouncing Ball' as the sharp, crackling cadence of the lyrics are sung. Germanic language tends to lend itself to that particular song well..(Vid on YT @: 'S.E.C', or other channels...;) -Besides, who doesnt LOVE any 'Peasants Uprising(s)' anyhow right? (I & no doubt many others seem to commiserate, or identify with that feeling @ times;)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words again! It means a lot to hear that you appreciate the approach I've taken with depicting the human costs of warfare in my diorama. I'm glad you feel that the portrayal of close-quarters combat in 1/35th scale has been effectively captured in the figure modifications. It's a challenging aspect to convey, but one that I've endeavored to represent authentically. Your kind words truly affirm that the effort has been worthwhile. And I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the music in the video! And interesting recommendation of the piece of music. I will check it out. The song in the video is called Marsch der Verdammten (March of the Damned) and fits perfectly with an anti-war diorama in WWI, as the lyrics are about the hopelessness and damnation in No Man's Land and at the same time it sounds powerful. Thank you again for your support and for sharing your insights. It's conversations like these that enrich our shared appreciation for history and modeling!
@@ModeliteDiorama If not already familiar? For additional/poss inspiration give WW1 combat veteran & poet: Wilfred Owens: "Dulce Et Decorum Est" a looksee....(My apex>piratical>combative>outlaw creative writing teacher in HS, had us all memorize the piece, of which, I can still repeat certain stanzas to this day!..Ha!) -With those words contained therein he weaves a stunning visualization in the minds eye.... Another one thats top-shelf & WELL worth a read is U.S General George Smith Patton's EXCELLENT poem: "Through A Glass, Darkly"... An >Impressive piece< concerning the cyclical nature of warfare, reincarnation, time linearity, the human experience & cycles of the soul..(See: Mankinds 'ForeverWar' problem)...;) Take 'er easy....
Where would one find a model of the armored vehicle used in this diorama? It looks interesting and like something I would like to try to build thanks for the info in advance! And I really enjoyed the video! 👍
Moin, herausragendes Diorama. Ich zieh meinen Hut vor deiner Geduld und deinem langen Atem. Eine Frage habe ich: Woher beziehst du den VMS Sand and Ballast Freeze?
Vielen Dank für deine sehr netten Worte! VMS Produkte beziehe ich meistens direkt auf der Webseite vom Hersteller oder bei der Internetseite Super-Hobby: www.super-hobby.de/products/Sand-And-Ballast-Freeze.html Beide sind in Polen ansässig, aber Super-Hobby bietet auch schnellen und günstigen Versand nach Deutschland. Dort sind VMS Produkte kurioserweise sogar am günstigsten und günstiger als beim Hersteller direkt
Thank you very much! And my thought behind this guy was that he sits behind the horse because he is looking for cover while he gets the rifle from his back
Good Day Modelcomrade. This is realy a Great Work, espacialy the trench.. Only wow.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐From me for this exelent Modelbuild. May i can ask a question.. How deep is the trench from the ground the overside on the battlefield.. I build a stormattack Diorama with the same Figures from ICM.. Please help me Modelcomrade. Please in cm Thank s so lot. Greets from Christian at Germany
Vielen Dank für deine netten Worte Christian! Bei der Höhe des Grabens habe ich mich zuerst an einer Vorlage aus dem Set "Master Box 35116 Hand-to-hand fight, German & British infantrymen" orientiert, wobei mein Graben jedoch etwas tiefer ist. Ich kann leider gerade nicht nachmessen, aber werde, sobald ich nachgemessen habe, mich nochmal melden. Jetzt gerade würde ich schätzen, dass der Graben eine Tiefe von circa 7 Zentimetern hat, wobei das schon tief ist für einen Graben im Ersten Weltkrieg. Viele Gräben waren nämlich auch nur so tief, dass geradeso der Kopf nicht über den Grabenrand schaute. Ich hoffe, das hilft schon einmal!
Guten Tag Na klar hilft das..🤗🤗 Dann muß ich am Wochenende beim Diorama gleich nachmessen. Ich habe mir auch von PlusModel Ratten besorgt. Da muß es ja von diesen Viechern gewimmelt haben.. Viele Grüße von Christian
Haha, don't worry, you're not crazy. That's exactly the song. On UA-cam it's called: "Wo alle Straßen enden" (Where all roads end). But in the original it's called "Marsch der Verdammten" (March of the Damned) and was written in the 50s or 60s. Nevertheless, the song melody and the lyrics fit wonderfully to an anti-war diorama in the First World War!
It is exactly this XPS foam: www.architekturbedarf.de/katalog/artikelinfo/26470/hartschaum-xps-fein I bought it in a savings package, which is strangely out of stock. I think they deliver throughout Europe, but not beyond. Hope this helps
Thank you for this suggestion! Even though I know that the Second World War arouses the greatest interest among most model builders, unfortunately nothing related to this is planned at the moment except for german World War II submarines, because I will continue to concentrate on the First World War and other topics that I am interested and enthusiastic about :)
Hi Creighton, WOW! What a comment, you worte the mother of all comments! :D But first, thank you so much for your extensive interest and sharing your passions, I really appreciate it! I will answer you in more detail soon!
@@ModeliteDiorama Why thank you my friend... -Ha!...Yes, I tend to be a bit looong winded when it comes to the YT comments section @ times (This latest one being a rather 'Kurz Ein'..;) -Thank you as well for sharing your own insights & additionally: congrats on gaining a rather stout subscription number, considering the relatively recent creation of the channel. It'll do nothing but ascend skyward^ in the present n' near to distant future... ~Such rapid numbers, although not @ all the most important aspect of your channel by a loooong-shot!...Such speaks to the totality level of your creative abilities, techniques & viewers need to learn, or re-create n' play with what youve taught so well thus far. Looking forward to seeing more future builds/finishing the St. Chamond dio up.... -Talk soon perhaps? (Much Thanks in advance if you do any digging/find additional info on the subject) FYI: I highly recommend the >>excellent
@@creightonleerose582 Dear Creighton, First of all, Your thoughtful and thorough comments are always a pleasure to read! Thank you for your kind words regarding my channel's growth. While numbers certainly have their place, what truly matters is the community we build and the knowledge we share. I'm honored to have subscribers like you who appreciate the creative process and are eager to learn and experiment with new techniques. Your attention to detail and dedication to your WWII mega-dio project are truly commendable! The level of craftsmanship and historical accuracy you've described, is inspiring. It's clear that you've poured countless hours into your work, and your passion shines through every aspect of your project. The way you've incorporated elements like the rural Normandy farm and the resourceful French couple adds depth and authenticity to your depiction of the era. Your commitment to quality over quantity is admirable, and it's evident that your skills have evolved over the years as you've continued to refine and improve your models and dioramas. And the fact that you're willing to donate your masterpiece once it's complete speaks volumes about your generosity and love for the hobby. As for your question about the placement of Wehrmacht/SS repair companies in Normandy, I unfortunately can't say much about it, because I don't know much about this specific topic and know where to find information on this. Thank you for sharing your journey and your kind words about my channel!
@@ModeliteDiorama Why thank you Sir... -@ some point here shortly within the summers span, Ill post a few quick vids of the models Ive built for the project, they wont be pro-level vids, but will show the builds/buildings/figs/ none the less using a quik n' dirty fashion to do so upon the ArtDestOfHealing/Destruction. For that, I apologize in advance....HA!... -I seen a ponderous plethora of PURE ART & technical ability, largely accomplished by 'Novices' within the field, just experimenting, failing & finding out what works best for them. Just in the shooting, lighting, narration, editing & assemblage of many YT modelers videos alone! Thats a huge secondary job, In addition to the build explorations themselves. This is where the latest tech application(s) products certainly help out to concentrate the process for the sakes of brevity & overall time spent doing so. At the end of the day, youre here to better represent & demonstrate the modeling craft, however some may find new talents &/'or new career paths gained just by the presentation of the product/passion.... Agreed on numbers/metrics represented as minor aspect of the process, unless human ego gets in the way with an obsession for increasing numbers/subs, which can happen, but not in youre case. Those metrics still yet a valuable one none the less, as it helps to build & assist the community in the sharing pf techniques, processes & ideas in general. -2 heads are better than one (Ask Zaphod Beeblebrox;) thousands, or tens of thousands of em?...- triply so... (BTW I'd contacted Hamilkar in the comments section of his latest vid & had asked if hes seen youre work(s)...He replied yes, he's already sub'd & values your thru-put/input, Im sure many subscribed to Mr. Barkas will no doubt visit your WorkSpace as a result. Ill continue to drop lines on other YT modelers as I visit new build vids from time to time...;) ~Enjoy this next weekend dood, quite a bit of !WILD! stuff happening on Terra presently (See: GOOD stuff for a change, but zee Revolucion' will not be televised until a later date;)...-Ya 'jus might getta 'visit'... Youve got an artistic eye, even when not working in medium. Think: 'Active Camouflage'.. ~C.L.R...
Thank you very much for your interest! And don't worry, I'm working on it, but I also Work on an interim project which will be published within the next month, which will give a foretaste of this diorama!
When you visit the former WWI battlefields on rainy days during the month of November, being alone in the woods and ruins with no human sounds is something unforgettable... With this diorama you are tackling with one of the most controversial if not taboo aspect of modeling: how to represent the deaths and woundeds in scale. The balance between artistic suggestions and gore is sometimes hard to find, I think your are making it right but be cautious 😔 Viel Spass!
Yes it is really a remarkable experience to visit the remains of these battlefields which still show so clearly how gigantic these battles were. And thank you for your feedback!
“In the west, nothing is new.” Is the original german title translated. They liked to talk about how great things in the east were going, but they never talked about the west in the paper.
yes, you are right, I find this title so expressive because it makes the insignificance of this suffering so clear. Paul Bäumer dies in the end like many others on a "quiet" day, but since there are no changes on the front line, the report only says nothing new in the West
@@ModeliteDiorama All that fighting and suffering really didn’t change anything. Fighting more mere miles of land ended up causing the collapse of multiple empires and led to our current political climate.
Haha yes, many techniques are inspired by him, because I often like the possibilities and results of the techniques he presents the most compared to other techniques! And he is definitely one of my absolute favorite model builders and model building role models! But hey, we're all here to learn! :) And thanks for your kind words!
Довольно трудно принять тот факт, что 17 миллионов человек погибли буквально ни за что. Из-за ссоры двух стран(которые, к слову, войны не хотели), началась война, котоая повличёт за собой ещё более ужасные последствия...

Hallo Joachim,
vielen Dank für deine netten Worte! Und ja, die Gegend von Verdun ist immer noch sehr eindrücklich, sehr gut erhalten und unfassbar zugänglich. Wenn man mit dem Auto durch die zerstörten Ortschaften und aufgeforsteten Schlachtfelder, wo die Wälder immer noch komplett von Trichtern durchsetzt sind, fährt, bekommt man richtig ein Gefühl für die Größe dieser ungeheuerlichen Materialschlachten.

P.s habe ein Video gemacht wo ich Stachel Draht selber herstelle
Mfg Olli aus der Bastel Bude
Vielen Dank lieber Olli! Und ja das geht mir auch so! Und ja das Video kenne ich und finde ich auch sehr hilfreich für solche Projekte!
Looking forward to seeing you paint her up/finish!
-This is a GOOD THING youre depicting what really HAPPENS during warfare of any type-the horrific human costs involved. Its still subtle, not overly done. I see zero reason why anyone would take issue with such, when most tolerate "Forever Conflicts" as normalcy & matter of contemporary Govt/Corporate politics masquerading as foreign policy?
Ive always found it difficult &/or somewhat corny regarding combat-themed dios, as its pretty difficult to render in 1/35th the dynamic ferocity of close quarters battle, no matter the era/battles depicted. Youve totally knocked it outta the park in regards to such with the figure mods!... ~Well done. Best one Ive yet to see/view....
-I think thats why I stick to the 'Behind The Scenes' variety in its stead...
-Dig the music used in vid too, I find the similar 'Wir Sind Schwarze Haufen' tune about Florian Geyer's early 1500's Black Company, when he worked with that admirable lovable maniac, Goetz Von Berlichingen. The song/vid showing the lyrics almost needs a sing-along red 'Bouncing Ball' as the sharp, crackling cadence of the lyrics are sung. Germanic language tends to lend itself to that particular song well..(Vid on YT @: 'S.E.C', or other channels...;)
-Besides, who doesnt LOVE any 'Peasants Uprising(s)' anyhow right? (I & no doubt many others seem to commiserate, or identify with that feeling @ times;)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words again! It means a lot to hear that you appreciate the approach I've taken with depicting the human costs of warfare in my diorama.
I'm glad you feel that the portrayal of close-quarters combat in 1/35th scale has been effectively captured in the figure modifications. It's a challenging aspect to convey, but one that I've endeavored to represent authentically. Your kind words truly affirm that the effort has been worthwhile.
And I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the music in the video! And interesting recommendation of the piece of music. I will check it out. The song in the video is called Marsch der Verdammten (March of the Damned) and fits perfectly with an anti-war diorama in WWI, as the lyrics are about the hopelessness and damnation in No Man's Land and at the same time it sounds powerful.
Thank you again for your support and for sharing your insights. It's conversations like these that enrich our shared appreciation for history and modeling!

If not already familiar? For additional/poss inspiration give WW1 combat veteran & poet: Wilfred Owens: "Dulce Et Decorum Est" a looksee....(My apex>piratical>combative>outlaw creative writing teacher in HS, had us all memorize the piece, of which, I can still repeat certain stanzas to this day!..Ha!)
-With those words contained therein he weaves a stunning visualization in the minds eye....
Another one thats top-shelf & WELL worth a read is U.S General George Smith Patton's EXCELLENT poem:
"Through A Glass, Darkly"...
An >Impressive piece< concerning the cyclical nature of warfare, reincarnation, time linearity, the human experience & cycles of the soul..(See: Mankinds 'ForeverWar' problem)...;)
Take 'er easy....
Where would one find a model of the armored vehicle used in this diorama?
It looks interesting and like something I would like to try to build thanks for the info in advance!
And I really enjoyed the video! 👍
Thank you very much for the kind words and it's nice that your question was already answered in the other video. If you have more, feel free to ask!
Moin, herausragendes Diorama. Ich zieh meinen Hut vor deiner Geduld und deinem langen Atem. Eine Frage habe ich: Woher beziehst du den VMS Sand and Ballast Freeze?
Vielen Dank für deine sehr netten Worte! VMS Produkte beziehe ich meistens direkt auf der Webseite vom Hersteller oder bei der Internetseite Super-Hobby: www.super-hobby.de/products/Sand-And-Ballast-Freeze.html
Beide sind in Polen ansässig, aber Super-Hobby bietet auch schnellen und günstigen Versand nach Deutschland. Dort sind VMS Produkte kurioserweise sogar am günstigsten und günstiger als beim Hersteller direkt
Great Video :)))
Vielen Dank Saeeb! :)
Looks fantastic
Great work
Just one question 🙋♂️
Why is the guy sitting down near the horse ?
Thank you very much! And my thought behind this guy was that he sits behind the horse because he is looking for cover while he gets the rifle from his back
Good Day Modelcomrade.
This is realy a Great Work, espacialy the trench.. Only wow.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐From me for this exelent Modelbuild.
May i can ask a question..
How deep is the trench from the ground the overside on the battlefield..
I build a stormattack Diorama with the same Figures from ICM..
Please help me Modelcomrade. Please in cm
Thank s so lot.
Greets from Christian at Germany
Vielen Dank für deine netten Worte Christian!
Bei der Höhe des Grabens habe ich mich zuerst an einer Vorlage aus dem Set "Master Box 35116 Hand-to-hand fight, German & British infantrymen" orientiert, wobei mein Graben jedoch etwas tiefer ist. Ich kann leider gerade nicht nachmessen, aber werde, sobald ich nachgemessen habe, mich nochmal melden. Jetzt gerade würde ich schätzen, dass der Graben eine Tiefe von circa 7 Zentimetern hat, wobei das schon tief ist für einen Graben im Ersten Weltkrieg. Viele Gräben waren nämlich auch nur so tief, dass geradeso der Kopf nicht über den Grabenrand schaute. Ich hoffe, das hilft schon einmal!
Guten Tag
Na klar hilft das..🤗🤗
Dann muß ich am Wochenende beim Diorama gleich nachmessen.
Ich habe mir auch von PlusModel Ratten besorgt.
Da muß es ja von diesen Viechern gewimmelt haben..
Viele Grüße von Christian
Call me crazy. But that last song sounds like the German marching song. "We Are Lost." Nice touch to what will be A great vignette.
Haha, don't worry, you're not crazy. That's exactly the song. On UA-cam it's called: "Wo alle Straßen enden" (Where all roads end). But in the original it's called "Marsch der Verdammten" (March of the Damned) and was written in the 50s or 60s. Nevertheless, the song melody and the lyrics fit wonderfully to an anti-war diorama in the First World War!
Wow 👊🏼👍🏼🤟🏼
Thank you very much again!
This is fucking awesome bro ❤
Thank you Bro!
Hello , what camera do you uses for your filming ?
Hi I am using a Sony Alpha ZVE-10 Video Kamera :)
Hello!
I'd like to know where to buy the xps foam. I'm looking for a gray xps foam
If you bought it online, please link it
It is exactly this XPS foam: www.architekturbedarf.de/katalog/artikelinfo/26470/hartschaum-xps-fein
I bought it in a savings package, which is strangely out of stock. I think they deliver throughout Europe, but not beyond. Hope this helps
Cool could you make an ww2 battle
Thank you for this suggestion! Even though I know that the Second World War arouses the greatest interest among most model builders, unfortunately nothing related to this is planned at the moment except for german World War II submarines, because I will continue to concentrate on the First World War and other topics that I am interested and enthusiastic about :)
part 2?
>>!GORGEOUS work!
Hi Creighton,
WOW! What a comment, you worte the mother of all comments! :D
But first, thank you so much for your extensive interest and sharing your passions, I really appreciate it! I will answer you in more detail soon!
@@ModeliteDiorama Why thank you my friend...
-Ha!...Yes, I tend to be a bit looong winded when it comes to the YT comments section @ times (This latest one being a rather 'Kurz Ein'..;)
-Thank you as well for sharing your own insights & additionally: congrats on gaining a rather stout subscription number, considering the relatively recent creation of the channel. It'll do nothing but ascend skyward^ in the present n' near to distant future...
~Such rapid numbers, although not @ all the most important aspect of your channel by a loooong-shot!...Such speaks to the totality level of your creative abilities, techniques & viewers need to learn, or re-create n' play with what youve taught so well thus far. Looking forward to seeing more future builds/finishing the St. Chamond dio up....
-Talk soon perhaps? (Much Thanks in advance if you do any digging/find additional info on the subject)
FYI: I highly recommend the >>excellent
@@creightonleerose582
Dear Creighton,
First of all,
Your thoughtful and thorough comments are always a pleasure to read!
Thank you for your kind words regarding my channel's growth. While numbers certainly have their place, what truly matters is the community we build and the knowledge we share. I'm honored to have subscribers like you who appreciate the creative process and are eager to learn and experiment with new techniques.
Your attention to detail and dedication to your WWII mega-dio project are truly commendable! The level of craftsmanship and historical accuracy you've described, is inspiring.
It's clear that you've poured countless hours into your work, and your passion shines through every aspect of your project. The way you've incorporated elements like the rural Normandy farm and the resourceful French couple adds depth and authenticity to your depiction of the era.
Your commitment to quality over quantity is admirable, and it's evident that your skills have evolved over the years as you've continued to refine and improve your models and dioramas. And the fact that you're willing to donate your masterpiece once it's complete speaks volumes about your generosity and love for the hobby.
As for your question about the placement of Wehrmacht/SS repair companies in Normandy, I unfortunately can't say much about it, because I don't know much about this specific topic and know where to find information on this.
Thank you for sharing your journey and your kind words about my channel!
@@ModeliteDiorama
Why thank you Sir...
-@ some point here shortly within the summers span, Ill post a few quick vids of the models Ive built for the project, they wont be pro-level vids, but will show the builds/buildings/figs/ none the less using a quik n' dirty fashion to do so upon the ArtDestOfHealing/Destruction. For that, I apologize in advance....HA!...
-I seen a ponderous plethora of PURE ART & technical ability, largely accomplished by 'Novices' within the field, just experimenting, failing & finding out what works best for them. Just in the shooting, lighting, narration, editing & assemblage of many YT modelers videos alone! Thats a huge secondary job, In addition to the build explorations themselves. This is where the latest tech application(s) products certainly help out to concentrate the process for the sakes of brevity & overall time spent doing so. At the end of the day, youre here to better represent & demonstrate the modeling craft, however some may find new talents &/'or new career paths gained just by the presentation of the product/passion....
Agreed on numbers/metrics represented as minor aspect of the process, unless human ego gets in the way with an obsession for increasing numbers/subs, which can happen, but not in youre case. Those metrics still yet a valuable one none the less, as it helps to build & assist the community in the sharing pf techniques, processes & ideas in general.
-2 heads are better than one (Ask Zaphod Beeblebrox;) thousands, or tens of thousands of em?...- triply so...
(BTW I'd contacted Hamilkar in the comments section of his latest vid & had asked if hes seen youre work(s)...He replied yes, he's already sub'd & values your thru-put/input, Im sure many subscribed to Mr. Barkas will no doubt visit your WorkSpace as a result. Ill continue to drop lines on other YT modelers as I visit new build vids from time to time...;)
~Enjoy this next weekend dood, quite a bit of !WILD! stuff happening on Terra presently (See: GOOD stuff for a change, but zee Revolucion' will not be televised until a later date;)...-Ya 'jus might getta 'visit'...
Youve got an artistic eye, even when not working in medium. Think: 'Active Camouflage'..
~C.L.R...
Y didn't he paint the figs
The painting will be in part two! Everything except the Tank will be painted there!
What's the song in this video?
On UA-cam it is called: Wo alle Straßen enden! :), but originally it is called: Marsch der Verdammten
I felt like I recognized it and wanted to hear it, thanks for the response@@ModeliteDiorama
The diorama also looks amazing@@ModeliteDiorama
Name of the song
On UA-cam it’s Wo alle Straßen enden
It has been 6 months where is the completed one
Thank you very much for your interest! And don't worry, I'm working on it, but I also Work on an interim project which will be published within the next month, which will give a foretaste of this diorama!
When you visit the former WWI battlefields on rainy days during the month of November, being alone in the woods and ruins with no human sounds is something unforgettable... With this diorama you are tackling with one of the most controversial if not taboo aspect of modeling: how to represent the deaths and woundeds in scale. The balance between artistic suggestions and gore is sometimes hard to find, I think your are making it right but be cautious 😔 Viel Spass!
Yes it is really a remarkable experience to visit the remains of these battlefields which still show so clearly how gigantic these battles were. And thank you for your feedback!
“In the west, nothing is new.” Is the original german title translated. They liked to talk about how great things in the east were going, but they never talked about the west in the paper.
yes, you are right, I find this title so expressive because it makes the insignificance of this suffering so clear. Paul Bäumer dies in the end like many others on a "quiet" day, but since there are no changes on the front line, the report only says nothing new in the West
@@ModeliteDiorama All that fighting and suffering really didn’t change anything. Fighting more mere miles of land ended up causing the collapse of multiple empires and led to our current political climate.
Bro your English is so german😂😂😂 but good work, best diorama i,ve ever seen
Haha yes, unfortunately I already do my best so I can not speak less german english 😂
@@ModeliteDiorama I love your accent and i can understand everything you say, keep up the good work!
@OrksAreBetterThenTau Thank you! 🤗
Bro wasn't even in voice change but makes fun of the accent 😂
bro is copying a lot of night shift lol, but its an very great diorama!🤩👍
Haha yes, many techniques are inspired by him, because I often like the possibilities and results of the techniques he presents the most compared to other techniques! And he is definitely one of my absolute favorite model builders and model building role models! But hey, we're all here to learn! :) And thanks for your kind words!
he is an realy good modeler im also copying things / techniques from him@@ModeliteDiorama
Im annoyed why he didnt paint those little acressories first???
Bros making realistic wood when it's already realistic.
Haha yes, that's the advantage of working with real materials! :D
The Death Korp of Krieg .
perfect accent de
Yes, I cannot speak less german 😂
Tanks you bro to pay hommage for French soldiers I’m French tank you
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil commentaire
i was born in verdun 🗿🗿
Really? I love this beautiful little town :)
Bro tried using the "my friend" that aint night shift thats day blank.
Bro is german but speak english😂
Bro is international 😂
@@ModeliteDiorama it Sound like a german that speak English
BLYAT
Довольно трудно принять тот факт, что 17 миллионов человек погибли буквально ни за что. Из-за ссоры двух стран(которые, к слову, войны не хотели), началась война, котоая повличёт за собой ещё более ужасные последствия...
Yes, you are right...
Bro is not night shift 🙏😭😭😭
Haha yes, unfortunately not. I hope to get close to his level one day!!! :)
Thats craaazy
It’s still really good tho you should make one I’m the Austrio Italian front in the mountains this is really good work.
@@KnoxGumm I'm actually planning an Isonzo Diorama in the Dolomites and already have everything I need for it, but it won't be my next project yet :)
They're still better than you
