This is what I love about cyberpunk you dont always need neon lights just like in Las Vegas it's not all lights and signs the "real" parts of any big city the grim dark streets and alleys and low lit doors that hide the underworld. This is an awesome representation as most others do the ladder. Well done sir.
Of course, tile grout for the grout around the bricks. It seems so obvious yet this is the first time I've seen somebody do it that way and I love it. It looks so simple and is using a pretty cheap material.
Man, I used to watch your videos a few years ago and I've recently come back to wargaming, and I gotta say, your video quality has goddamn skyrocketed. love your videos new and old
+1, 3D printers are a blessing and a curse. You nailed it right on, it's easy to get lost and sink a lot of time into learning the ins and outs of how to fix one when it doesn't work right.
i have a mate whose not into wargaming at all, but he's super into 3d printing, so i get him to print all my bits, and he get to print interesting stuff and make a bit of cash :) win win
Personally I absolutely love my ELEGOO MARS 3D printer, its been by far the best thing I have ever purchased for my warhammer addiction. I have it setup so good now after a couple of years of using it that I almost never get failed prints at all now. And the quality of models easily matches GW store bought. It's incredible for terrain pieces and scenics but also if you don't fancy shelling out £1000s like me for single models it's really good for things like titans and super heavy vehicles.
Awesome diorama man! Quick tip for adding your own supports and getting them to come away as the pre supported cyber forge minis, try these upper diameters: 0.12, 0.22, 0.32 for light medium and heavy respectively and your lower diameters at 1, 1.10, and 1.20. All with a contact depth of 0.22 I've found these settings to be a really great starting point that will give you a print that's super easy to remove from them with very little damage. Main thing is just adding enough heavies at the first few layers (bottom of feet, underside of object etc) that the print can hold on, then just use medium and lights everywhere else.
Looking good Luke. Great walk through of getting the cyberpunk feel. A single bare lightbulb burning in that alcove would look ace if you were thinking of some lighting.
For a lot of these pre-supported models I have to not only increase the exposure time but also decreased the lift speed so it doesn't yank the model off of the supports as it pulls it off the FEP. I recently printed a model in red resin that was printing fine in other colors and it was a mess so I can see even the resin changes the settings you need to use.
Pro-Tip: After cleaning them with IPA (or whatever you use), get the prints into hot water from your sink and let them sit about 30-60s, the supports get weaker and more flexible that way and break of much better :-)
When you were explaining the problems at the start and not getting g much help back it reminded me of when I got my printer. I have the Wanhao duplicator i3 plus I couldn't get it to level right, I followed the instructions word for word, contacted the company who gave me the same instructions, and each time the extruder would keep pushing down and gouging holes in the surface of the bed. It destroyed the magnetic print surface, and caused me to hulk out a few times. In the end my friend who has experience with 3d printing came over and had a look at it, he found the sensor had been installed wrong. In the end it was an easy fix but you really do need to either know this stuff yourself or know someone who can help!
Phrozen 4k mini printer is the best one I have used . My printers are from Anycubic, Elegoo and Phrozen. The Monochrome 4k screen is much quicker and gives way more detail for minis. As with other printers it needs tweaking to get going, but there is an great Facebook community for help. You gonna be playing Cyberpunk, Luke?
Pro tip: If you dunk those freshly printed models in hot water for about 10-15 seconds prior to removing the supports, the supports will just fall right off - no snipping needed!
Another cool video. I got an urge now to build some dioramas :D Interested about those "water" products, looks like a perfect thing for small "touches" either to the scenery or bases.
Luke you should try to soak you prints in hot water. He supports basically pop of on there own. It hopes stop the support marks. This changed my whole out look on 3D printing.
So impressed! Man, to see a scratch builder give in to the craze of 3-D, started to make me sad but this was a great combination of both worlds! Thanks for sharing and making a look that works in both worlds! Love it!!!
3D printers are def not throw in and don't care as when something goes wrong it can be very hard to workout what might have happened so always good to get some knowledge of your machine. Love the grout idea will def use that and pass that on to anyone that asks. Great layout simple but very effective.
Constant problems with my Longer Orange 10 has pretty much ruined 3d printing for me. So many failed prints, Ive been thru stacks of those paper filters.... Great video tho Luke. That tip with the tile grout is excellent and the dio has that 80's rpg supplement cover look to it!
Stellar work with the minis and amazing paintjob all around. I fell in love with this wall and how realistic it looks. Every one of your projects is a work of art and the best thing about them is how approachable is your technique. It's like you are the Bob Ross of terrain builds and I love it.
Yes mate! This is mega, Luke. Please make some more vids on this theme. The miniatures are lovely and you sold that rundown part of town look. It would of been nice to have seen some neon lighting making an appearance.
Thanks for doing a Cyberpunk diorama, makes a change from all the wall to wall 40k out there, I also love Black Magic Crafts cyberpunk diorama, Unit 9 miniatures and Papsikels on MyMiniFactory and Patreon worth a look too! I am also on the Cyberforge Pateron, great mini selection.
Dude, this is rad! It's nice seeing something a little different on your channel. Please keep these sci fi, cyberpunk-themed boards coming in the future. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers, --Bo
Really nice diorama! I think you could have added some graffiti in the alley to give just a bit more of a colour bump, but that's all. Keep up the great work!
I get the hobby in the hobby part but fuck me , there’s a lot of fucking about with it , rather just order a mini wait until it arrives and paint it , nice theme Luke
Interesting but I don't fancy having to buy & learn to run a 3D printer to get the figures. Nice as they are. Thanks for this one, along with Squidmar's video they make a cautionary tale. Think and decide first what your objectives are.
Great video dude, love the ends result! 3D printing is one of those things that I'm terrified to get into for two reasons. Firstly, I'd be constantly worried about messing up and somehow breaking the printer. Second, I'm worried that if I DO get one and learn how to use it, my pile of shame will grow beyond belief! Top tips for dioramas though, the little details like posters and bins etc are a nice touch. Also, that thumbnail is sexy as F ;)
Hello ! I want to start making dioramas myself for the first time thanks to your videos :) I can't find sculptamold anywhere in my country and shipping from amazon is twice the price of the product! there is any alternative materials I can use to sculpt a landscape ? thanks for the help !
I know you always say you’re not the best painter Luke but I disagree. I really like these paint jobs. Do you recommend any fdm printers. I don’t really like the idea of messing about with resin and gloves etc. I’ve got small children and not much space.
I came here for Austrian accent, was not disappointed! Get to the chopppaaah
I feel like Robocop will turn up any minute to bust these punks. " Dead or alive, you're coming with me!.

Love it Luke!
instaBlaster...
Love the Demolition Man clip.
It gave me joy-joy feelings.
Of course, tile grout for the grout around the bricks. It seems so obvious yet this is the first time I've seen somebody do it that way and I love it. It looks so simple and is using a pretty cheap material.
Your video production is bananas. Always so gorgeous man
Man, I used to watch your videos a few years ago and I've recently come back to wargaming, and I gotta say, your video quality has goddamn skyrocketed. love your videos new and old
The tedium of making bricks is always worth the effort. Looks fantastic!
Ooh? Ooh! Ooohh! Oh! Yeaaaaa.....
Reminds me of Jeremy's cyberpunk dio. So great!
You putting up those mini dystopian wall posters up really made my day. I was going to recommend some Greenstuff World graffiti ones.
+1, 3D printers are a blessing and a curse. You nailed it right on, it's easy to get lost and sink a lot of time into learning the ins and outs of how to fix one when it doesn't work right.
Love it. I took advantage of Black Friday sales and picked up a couple of Cyber Forge minis to make a cyberpunk diorama!
i have a mate whose not into wargaming at all, but he's super into 3d printing, so i get him to print all my bits, and he get to print interesting stuff and make a bit of cash :) win win
I definitely agree with the 3d printer. When they work they're great but getting them to work is a pain
Personally I absolutely love my ELEGOO MARS 3D printer, its been by far the best thing I have ever purchased for my warhammer addiction.

I have never bought into the 3D printing hype. I will jump in when it is REALLY plug-and-play.

You sir deserve a standing ovation. Bravo.
Awesome work Luke! just in time for cyberpunk 2077
As a child of the 80s one automagically loves everything with that nice Cyberpunk aesthetic! Amazing job Luke! Amazing! :)

That setup is amazing! You should take it to level 2, and add some neon glow lights! woulda be sweet seeing a major sign, or a ally way light
"it wants to be in a part of town that's neglected" - Batley 2077
Loving this style, would love to see a video on neons and other atmospheric city lighting with paints
I seriously wish I could build structures like you can, every time I try I fuck it up
Perfect looking heavy metal bar. Even down to the local mutant marras. Nicely done, Luke.
Pro tip: If you dunk those freshly printed models in hot water for about 10-15 seconds prior to removing the supports, the supports will just fall right off - no snipping needed!

They look pretty
Luke you should try to soak you prints in hot water. He supports basically pop of on there own. It hopes stop the support marks. This changed my whole out look on 3D printing.
Brick work looks better than my house.
I suggest you move!
Luke doing Cyberpunk! This is great! Ended up looking fantastic!
So impressed! Man, to see a scratch builder give in to the craze of 3-D, started to make me sad but this was a great combination of both worlds! Thanks for sharing and making a look that works in both worlds! Love it!!!
Atmospheric and gorgeous, great details such as these posters, they add a lot...
This looks Boss. I think the wonky brickwork actually makes it more not less realistic.
Looks excellent. You could say the lights have been vandalised in that street
Using plasticard to simulate plasticard - mind blown!
soak them in really hot water before removing supports (remove while still hot) come away a lot easier.
I would print out a large piece of brick-wall but i'm kind of crazy plus you have to model it in a 3d app. Super interesting stuff thanks!
Fun video to watch & love the trick with the bricks using the grout. Great as usual 👏🏼
That looks really neat! I love the look of it, and the minis look awsome
Good work man
3D printers are def not throw in and don't care as when something goes wrong it can be very hard to workout what might have happened so always good to get some knowledge of your machine.

Nice! could be awesome with some LED light for neon glow effects
Yes mate! This is mega, Luke. Please make some more vids on this theme. The miniatures are lovely and you sold that rundown part of town look. It would of been nice to have seen some neon lighting making an appearance.
Great work. You made it look so easy, and I love the results!
Hey Luke use hot water to help remove supports. Not boiling but hot enough you would not leave your hand in longer than a few seconds.
Look Real Good :)
Luke doing Cyberpunk and Sci-fi dioramas!! I'm in nerd heaven ;)
Love this diorama and thank you for sharing more of your techniques!
Thanks for doing a Cyberpunk diorama, makes a change from all the wall to wall 40k out there, I also love Black Magic Crafts cyberpunk diorama, Unit 9 miniatures and Papsikels on MyMiniFactory and Patreon worth a look too! I am also on the Cyberforge Pateron, great mini selection.
Nice one Luke, good to see you challenging yourself. I really like what you did with the skull helmet dude, he really looks the business!
to remove supports easy biol up some water. After you clean off the resin mini place them in the super hot water and remove the supports like magic.
love the demolition man verbal morality clip
Dude, this is rad! It's nice seeing something a little different on your channel. Please keep these sci fi, cyberpunk-themed boards coming in the future. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers, --Bo
Really nice diorama! I think you could have added some graffiti in the alley to give just a bit more of a colour bump, but that's all. Keep up the great work!
Ya nailed it Luke. You do nice work.
👍😀
damn that's cool. love the soundtrack too!
Nice video luke. That tile grout got me thinking, do you think its worth me mixing some with some of the base ready i have to set it better on bases?
Great video buddy! The diorama really came together well, definitely smashed that B-Roll too!
Your 3D printing sentiments are mine also. Either love it or despise it. Good video though lad!
Needs some street rubbish, pot holes in the road, led lights, more fluro colours..
Looks great, but missing some key elements.
I get the hobby in the hobby part but fuck me , there’s a lot of fucking about with it , rather just order a mini wait until it arrives and paint it , nice theme Luke
Loftmax is off the shopping list. Nothing is more important than the manufacturer support.
looks great!
Yeah looks good and can be added to so a complete strip can be achieved , if that takes your fancy? Cheers Luke for sharing.
"ЯAꓭ" lol

If I can get reliable results with little fannying around I'll be all over 3d printing. Seems like it's heading that way?
@@GeekGamingScenics I bought one! Got the Mars for 121 quid, cyber Monday deal.
Luke needed toilet paper at the end there 😂👌
Definitely getting a 3D printer for bits and bobs.
Lord I need a 3d printer rad work man !
Amazing video Luke!! 🤩
Thank you , Luke ,
Luv~Luv~Luv .
Reminds me of a night out in Hull
Love, love, love this Luke
Demolition man sound effects, get the violations so you dont have to use the three shells
Demolition man
The rust and grim is very nice; but, how do I use the three sea shells?
Is the bar sign from Doctor Merkury’s Lab 15mm cyberpunk signs and then just upscaled?
Your projects never fail to impress thanks for all the vids n hard work you are a leg end
Impressive : )
Awesome Stuff 👍😎💚
Wow love it wat did u use for the base to build it all on as I want to start my own diorama thank you
I really enjoyed your video! big like for you!
Hello !
I want to start making dioramas myself for the first time thanks to your videos :)
I can't find sculptamold anywhere in my country and shipping from amazon is twice the price of the product!
there is any alternative materials I can use to sculpt a landscape ?
thanks for the help !
Just a little graffiti would also go a long way
Still tho great video love your content
Nice work - did you print the poster on regular paper?
Thank you.
Needs some litter on the ground
I know you always say you’re not the best painter Luke but I disagree. I really like these paint jobs.
Do you recommend any fdm printers. I don’t really like the idea of messing about with resin and gloves etc. I’ve got small children and not much space.
Cheers mate.
only thing it is missing is a neon light. otherwise looks dope
