    That's thinking inside of the box. lol
    I was a little dubious there at the middle, but you pulled it off. That's a great idea, never would have thought of doing a diorama in a shadow box. Great solution for those with limited space for a completed diorama.

      Yeah I was a little worried for a minute about halfway through, but after I fixes the backing board issue it just came together. Best thing about shadow boxes is they come in a I’ve variety, so you can find something for almost any space you have, and it’s fun :)

    Thats a great way to use new materials and test new skills whilst also giving some old models more purpose than sitting in a box of bits!

    I know you said that the lights were supposed to be like bugs and stuff but I can only think of them as warpstone and a similar skaven style diorama. Yippee, another project to add to my list!

    • @eBayMiniatureRescues
      @eBayMiniatureRescues  4 роки тому +2

      I almost almost went with a Skaven theme instead of goblins. Those lights would have definitely been warp stone that they went in to harvest. In the end I just liked the way the goblins looked with the spider. Another time though, skaven will get a place on my wall :)

  • @TheRunesmythe

    Loved the shadowbox and the little story it told. Its needs an official name now, something like "Bolggut Spiderstabbers Folly".
    That Chaos model is Scyla Anfingrimm; the backstory they used to have for him is pretty cool, though its no longer on the website. If I remember, he was an Aspiring Champion of Khorne who somehow angered the Blood God (lets be honest here, Khorne pretty much spends all his time angry, so I can't its very difficult to get him to focus that anger on you for even a tiny mishap) so he was cursed to mutate into that crazy, skinned-ape looking monster which is apparently just a living slab of muscle, rage and Khorne symbols.

    I have to admit, that I have succumbed to a bit of hobby overload recently, especially with so many YT channels doing just painting of minis, so I've been taking a bit of a breather from the web as a result. That being said, thank you for this refreshing installment, as it's pertaining to the hobby, but in a different way. It was very enjoyable to watch, and I hope you broaden things up a little more (as you're able). And now, I impatiently await your Scyla Anfingrimm video (which, btw, I'm TOTALLY jealous of that score)!

    • @eBayMiniatureRescues
      @eBayMiniatureRescues  4 роки тому +1

      I know the feeling, especially with everything the way it is right now. There has been a hobby overload over the last month for a lot of people. I’m definitely feeling it lately, which is definitely why switching it up a little felt necessary. I’m glad you enjoyed it, I certainly did and I hope to continue to try new things like this as it fits the channel! I am excited to get to that Scyla though, even it it will be a straight paint job, that model is awesome :)
      I’m looking forward to getting through these next few months, maybe we can all get back to some sense of normality. We’ll get through it eventually :)

    A shadowbox is a really cool idea. I've attempted some display works in the past. Entered Armies on Parade at my local GW store for the past few years, but always felt intimidated with foam sculpting and creating a large scenic piece. This would never had occurred to me before and now I'm kinda curious how one would turn out.

    • @eBayMiniatureRescues
      @eBayMiniatureRescues  4 роки тому

      With a foam cutter it’s super easy to do, the one I have is a cheap one too, I think it was $6 at hobby lobby, probably with a coupon, but still. It sliced right through the foam no problem! I imagine that if you have enough modeling experience to enter armies on parade that a shadow box would be a great option.

    Loved watching your video, great idea and beautiful execution - if you want to add a little more depth to caves and similar spaces like you made - add a slight dark wash over the back wall which will make your foreground wall pop out a little more - not the models or points of interest, just the back wall to separate the values more between the foreground and background.

      I like to search for eBay for broad terms, like just using Warhammer, and then using the filters to get it down to as few as possible, in the price range I’m looking for. So used only, with paint, and around $10. It gives you some good options to search with. You also have to check back pretty often, it changes daily, so be patient and keep looking, you’ll find some great stuff in no time!

    It’s great but I feel it could be so much more. I think the cave looks to bright and lacks atmosphere. The setup and concept is great but you could have gotten so much more out of it by painting the lighting with some osl effects (daylight shining in from the left getting darker, glowing moss or mushrooms and shimmering gold); by using water effects to create moisture; by painting all the tufts and plants instead of just placing them and so on. Also I wonder why there is grass growing so far into the cave?

    Amazing work! What do you use for stripping models? Im interested in stripping resin and plastic models. I live in Europe so simple green and stuff like that is not an option unfortunatelly.

    • @eBayMiniatureRescues
      @eBayMiniatureRescues  4 роки тому +1

      I use a product called LAs Totally Awesome. It’s in the same camp as simple green only quite a bit stronger. But like simple green, not available in Europe. I know you can buy it on amazon, so I assume you could get some, but there is probably something similar for cheaper in your country. Pretty much a concentrated degreaser will do the job. The other thing I use is a sonic jewelry cleaner, that does a majority of the work with the degreaser inside. Otherwise you have to let it sit for a few day in a bag or jar.
      Also, with a sonic jewelry cleaner, you can put resin models inside, but you have to make sure it doesn’t get too hot! Most sonic cleaners heat up, so resin will start to warp. As long as you’re careful it’s fine, I’ve never had an issue as long as I keep an eye on it.
      Hope that helps!
