Small, simple, SUPERB! You've outdone yourself with this one, Andy! With the outdoor shots, one would swear it is real rock and a genuine Middle East setting. Please keep up the good work as we know you will. THANK YOU for all your efforts to instruct and to inspire.
Those outside shots make it look so natural especially the rock face, the little bushes blowing in the wind, just fantastic, gives me some great tips for my IDF M51 super sherman i'm building, was only going to have it in my display case, but now......i think a diorama is called for after watching this!
Another great job Andy! Thanks for sharing, all these videos on technique and color mixing are really helping me understand the nuts and bolts of modeling. I haven't started buying anything yet but when I do I will most certainly be coming to ask the Master for help. Thanks again.
Well done Andy. Your great ideas lead to solid results! WOW... "Is it real or is it Andy's Hobby Headquarters?" :) Congratulations on reaching 50K Sir.
I saw those molds the last time I was in our store....aluminum foil works great, too, as you can crunch up the foil as much as you'd like for texture. Just another idea for those who may not be able to make it into your store, to buy the molds.
pls do a video on the Cromwell, I ordered it just on Sunday and I also looked at a pdf of the instruction on scalemates and it looks like a great, well-engineered kit.
Looks very realistic, makes me want a cold drink its that dry. One thing bugging me though is I think the vehicle should be placed further up the incline so theres not such a big gap behind, maybe even facing uphill ? Instead of "glueing" the tank onto the base you could descretely pin it through the tracks in a couple of spots. Enough to prevent mishaps but still removable.
I am amazed the end results of all the models that you do....I think that the cost of materials would be very expensive for the average hobbyist considering you seem to use only well recognized brand names...could similar results be expected using off the shelf hobby supplies?
I notice in your last two videos about building the diorama base you used grout for the final texture coating. What type is recommended? I take it there is no premixing, just a spritz of the water bottle on it which hardens it? Excellent tutorial. Thanks for posting.
Hello from Greece. I love your channel. A question about the trees used in a diorama, is there a way to find specific types of trees or I need to scatchbuild them? I m asking because one of the most common trees in the Mediteranean area is the olive tree which I can't find anywhere.
You don't need to use any release agent with the plaster, its a rubber mold and you can just peel the mold of the pieces. Another way to use the mold is to pour a much thinner layer, once it sets you can then break the pieces you get and re-arrange them in a new way to create different looks.
Hi there. What is the grout you use? Is that floor and ceiling tile grout? Any particular coarseness or anything? I don't know anything about it. Looks great. Cheers.
Jordan Martinez, Tank kits are too hard for beginners, I'd recommend doing a 1/72 plane, theirs a channel called quick kits that give a good insight at how to create a model for beginners.
Tank kits, especially the ones with rubber-tracks and without interior, are much easier than planes, because there aren't glass parts, like a canopy, or small interior details and you don't have to worry about a flawless surface. You can mask almost every mistake with chipping, pigments or other dirt. In general, I wouldn't recommend Dragon kits, because there are too many small parts, which can be frustrating for a beginner.
yeah don't glue it down to the diorama, you never know, you might find some neat techniques down the road and think it'll be good for the diorama. Don't wanna have it glued down then. Or maybe you might wanna redo the whole thing, and you could re use the model. Just an idea.
at first i thought I want to go to the hobby store to buy and start building the great scenery but after 6 in a row with tanks just killed me sigh.... I wish you would get some other scenery with out war stuff... Instead with camping, bears, water, beach etc so i can see what else you have

Excellent work Mate, from the land down under.
Very nice! you should do a cold war turned hot diorama next!

An excellent diorama for an excellent tank . Good job Andy
Hey Andy I love the dioramas. I would love if you could make a dessert /sand dune diorama. Anyway have a nice day and keep up the good work.
Those outside shots make it look so natural especially the rock face, the little bushes blowing in the wind, just fantastic, gives me some great tips for my IDF M51 super sherman i'm building, was only going to have it in my display case, but now......i think a diorama is called for after watching this!
You can use poster paints as base paints and PVA glue instead of modgepodge it's much more cost effective.
Thanks for painting with a brush, I don’t have an airbrush
Mr.Andy.Another Awesome job. Really like the way you paint the rocks!
Another great job Andy! Thanks for sharing, all these videos on technique and color mixing are really helping me understand the nuts and bolts of modeling. I haven't started buying anything yet but when I do I will most certainly be coming to ask the Master for help.
Thanks again.
Excellent, very useful tutorial for building diorama bases.
Fantastic Andy. That is really inspiring and a fantastic result.
I just love hearing you say 'modge podge'
WW1 diorama would be good. A trench raid perhaps? Your very talented at the many different aspects of model making. Keep up the good work Andy.
Well done Andy. Your great ideas lead to solid results! WOW... "Is it real or is it Andy's Hobby Headquarters?" :) Congratulations on reaching 50K Sir.
Very nice diorama!!
Love your dioramas andy I've learnt a lot in a very short time from watching your videos
Hello, I’m from Canada and I really like your videos!
Nicely done diorama, but it is necessary to adapt Magach. In this shape is like when he has to drive on the highway!
You must dust the tank!
I saw those molds the last time I was in our store....aluminum foil works great, too, as you can crunch up the foil as much as you'd like for texture.

Great video for the diorama I'm making thanks

Great job! Very amusing to watch

Well done Andy!!!!!
One more time realized well and explained thank you
Great build !

Very good job ! Excelent.
wow very impressive vid. I learned lots of things from this
Looks great
pls do a video on the Cromwell, I ordered it just on Sunday and I also looked at a pdf of the instruction on scalemates and it looks like a great, well-engineered kit.
The Magach 3 diorama looks great. U could also use it 4 Africa Corp/Bristish conflict from WW2.
I think about the dioramas I made back in the years I made models and then I see this . . makes me want to just go sit on the sofa and be quiet.
Great work on the dio. I thought you might've hit the rock with a bit of buff

Wonderful as always. We gotta get you a lapel mic though.
excellent
Andy, 50K Hooray!
I have been since 5K ;D
イツモタノシミニシテイマス❗
From Japan🗾Good luck❗
Looks real! I need to invest in those woodland scenics rock molds.
Hey from Russia ! Great video.
Nickel comme d'hab
Great diorama, but I have one question. Wouldn't the tank weight mean that is sunk into the ground and not touch the surface
What kind of foam is that?
I notice in your last two videos about building the diorama base you used grout for the final texture coating. What type is recommended? I take it there is no premixing, just a spritz of the water bottle on it which hardens it? Excellent tutorial. Thanks for posting.
I just used polyblend sanded grout available at the Home Depot

Great build. I wouldn't glue the tank down, leave as is
Andy - how do you finish the exposed edges of the foam? Thanks!
hi Andy! may i know how to seal up the sand, dust on my diorama ? what spray i can use please? like what u used? thanks
sweet man love the vids.
Would spraying a release agent in to the Woodland Scenes mold help with the release of the dry Hydrocal? Or does it release fine without it?
You don't need to use any release agent with the plaster, its a rubber mold and you can just peel the mold of the pieces.
Another way to use the mold is to pour a much thinner layer, once it sets you can then break the pieces you get and re-arrange them in a new way to create different looks.
очень шикарно)))
Hi there. What is the grout you use? Is that floor and ceiling tile grout? Any particular coarseness or anything? I don't know anything about it.
Looks great. Cheers.
I just used polyblend tile sanded grout for floors available at the Home Depot
Andy's Hobby Headquarters
Great job and detail Andy,
Tell me can you still get Mexicans from Home Depot?
Andy i am curious which CA glue you use
MAybe more like bases, diorama tells a story, imho
POP!
What compresor are you using ?
what are the materials did you used?
Have you ever thought about using an old electric carving knife to cut your foam?
I wish i could find all theese Hot kits in Denmark
Any tank kits recommendations for beginners first time ?
Jordan Martinez if want to paint it don't have the wheels and track on first

Jordan Martinez tamiya's shermans are all great
Hiya! How do you make the mod podge spray?
yeah don't glue it down to the diorama, you never know, you might find some neat techniques down the road and think it'll be good for the diorama. Don't wanna have it glued down then. Or maybe you might wanna redo the whole thing, and you could re use the model. Just an idea.
How much did this build cost?
whats a good sealer for paints on models?
Josh Koehler Tamiya TS-80 clear matte. Hope it helps.
thanks
Before you painted it it looked like snow
Can you do a Vietnam war diarama
Where do you get the styrofoam?
Home depot
Andy's Hobby Headquarters thanks and good diorama
