I am starting a book nook project of a street in Singapore and the roofs of the buildings look like these. What a great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am now a subscriber!
Im trying to build a diorama for my Ryu figure so I saw your roof top diorama and thankyou it turn out great when I needed for my dio thankyou for your skills
Absolutely awesome. I've learned a lot watching your videos. But I have a question. If I needed something more lightweight (and less chance of accidentally cutting yourself), could you use something like fat drinking straws instead of the tubing for the tiles? Where *I* might have no problem with cutting the tubing....I am more concerned that my daughter might cut herself. (teenager, for a school project) Or would straws be too lightweight? or not adhere to the roof?
Thankyou! Straws should be fine, if I thought of that in the first place it might of been easier haha, the only problem I would for see with straws is they are a bit thin and won't give as much of a step between the tile rows. You course probbally double them up per tile if you wanted thicker tiles. But to sum it up straws will be more than fine.
Thanks man, i got the tubing from my local hobby shop. most good hobby stores should carry a range of styrene plastic products. the ones i used were from evergreen scale models
+Flynnburger I use a online scale converter. So in 1/32 scale, 1 Metre is 31.25mm. measuring doors and windows around my home also helps as you can get a good idea of what size to make things.
Thanks for the idea! I think it would be simpler to paper maché a few drinking straws (to give them stability), and then slice them in half, etc...

Wow. Tremendously laborious, but certainly prettier and more finished than rooves made from corrugated cardboard.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
I'd rather watch quality stuff like this over anything on Netflix
Congratulations, you do it very well

Just a little hint. If you prime with white paint the mahogany brown can show up better.
Hi, nice work man. Thanks for sharing
bro these are sick! you need to do more
Looks great! I think I can use straws for 1/64 scale.

Looks Pretty Darn Cool. Well Done. ___ BB
Thanks man
Nice work,
What size tube did you use?
Great video.
So zen.
Great looking roof but IMHO the ridge cap should have been more tile. Back in the day that would have been how it was done.
Where do you get that plastic roofing material?
Your video is very wonderful ! Thank you!
Thankyou
Love it, looks so real! Where did you get the plastic tubes?

Plastic straws could achieve the same effect for 25-30mm scale
Good idea, I'll give that one a try.
Love this. How to you go about designing these dioramas to the correct scale? It's probably my only concern when starting a project this ambitious!

What kind of tube did you use?
It's styrene tubing from evergreen scale models.
how did you actually build the structure?
It was made from foam core (a foam covered in paper)
What diameter is the tubing, and what is the length of the tile??
Di Miceli Domenico the tube was 7mm diameter and I cut to about 12mm long
