Simply put ..without a doubt Andy is the best modeler I have ever seen...I learn so much from him and wanted to just leave my office and start building...totally awesome...thx Andy!
What an interesting video. Out of curiosity do you plan on doing a tutorial for cities or battle damaged road dioramas in the future? It would be sweet to see more of that content in your diorama playlist.
Thanks for sharing video how to. I'm planning on making a diorama of the Wright flyer (1/39 scale anniversary kit) as its about to take off from Kill Devil hills (formerly Kitty Hawk) The top of Dune is 1/39 scale for Bi-plane but the (orig.) 100 ft drop is 12" scaled down to 1/100. Would it look bad with 2 different scales or should I just do a flat "poster" as base showing everything in a 1/100 scale view of sea-level beach "below" the Dune Crest where Bi-plane will sit until I can do justice to diorama display? Thanks for any input. /Rosemary
I prefer a water based product for groundwork (the old standby, Celluclay, is still my favourite - thanks Shep Paine!). Magic Sculpt is great stuff but I like it for making tarps, backpacks, duffel bags etc. Water based products are easier to spread and can be tinted, although they can't be molded and you have to watch for shrinkage. Still, great job, love your videos! About time I subscribe!
yes , I wanted to created that exact diorama . if I can make it work I might try to add a line from the tank to the tree and add some shade cover . thanks for watching
Palm trees are short generally in the desert except when they are near oasis. I was told by locals when i was in north africa. So, i recommend you cut them a little.
Andy, have you ever tried using air drying modelling clay? I personally prefer it due to how easy it is to mound once you put some water on it. I would only really recommend it for small dioramas for singles tanks as it can get quite expensive, but it's really easy to add textures and shape it
I'm a fucking noob to dioramas, but i tried air dry modelling clay for a Tobruk diorama, and during the drying process it warped pretty bad, cracked and one edge raised 2 inches. I assumed something like this might happen a bit, but not so extensive. I binned it and made the diorama flat. What did i do wrong?
Any recommendations for palm trees for a 1/144 scale diorama. Doing a scarif star wars diorama and cant find good 1/144 scale or around that scale palm trees
I'm working on a project which is Inspired by Raiders of the Lost Ark in One Scene there is a Convoy that is moving through the Desert Road delivering the Ark to the Submarine Base. No trees, just rocks and sand. Indy not included, srry :( The Vehicles I'll be needing are: - Coloniale Staff Car or Citroën Traction for the Staff Car Belloq, Toht, and Dietrich rode on. - CCKW 353 Utility Truck or Kfz.70 for the truck that carries the Ark to the Submarine Base. - Sd.Kfz 222 Afrika Korps for the Armored Vehicle that guards the truck from enemies ahead. - BMW Motorcycle with Sidecar for the bike in the scene. Extras: - Afrika Korps figures (optional) I will not be putting it on a piece of wood but I'll use an Illustration Board as the Stand (a.k.a. Power of Improvisation...)
You know how railroad tracks have rocks that holds the wooden ties in place? That's called ballast. This ballast is scale stones used for model railroad tracks.

Congrats and Thanks for the info about Magic Sculpt.
Thanks I'm glad you liked it
really nice, as always. I'll have to look in to those palms, I'm starting to hate making them anymore, it takes to much time. again nice.
Thank you , yeah the palms only took a couple hours to make.
Thank you.
Nice job Andy and congratulations on on the 10,000 subscribers

I like the base, where did you get that from?
thank you so much andy
And,y your works and your videos,are always awesome
Thank you
Great video and the palm trees are something a bit different. The two part putty looked like hard work though!!
Thank you, the putty wasn't to bad.

Muchas felicidades, you're welcome.
Thank you
Another great tutorial. One question though, in the diorama, is the tank supposed to have backed up to the trees...maybe seeking some shade?
yes , I wanted to created that exact diorama . if I can make it work I might try to add a line from the tank to the tree and add some shade cover . thanks for watching
You are the man! Thanks for making these videos.
thanks you
very good video 👌
Enjoy your videos...I find them very relaxing.....do u ever use airfix kits.
Thank you, I have many years ago built them but not lately
Incredible video and beautiful result! Are you going to make more diorama videos?
good but not enough😻
Palm trees are short generally in the desert except when they are near oasis. I was told by locals when i was in north africa. So, i recommend you cut them a little.
Congratulations! What kind of super glue is that? Like the narrow tip
Its made by great planes , but the tips are aftermarket from great planes. thanks for watching
Congrats on ten Thousand subscribers! Also great diorama
Thank you should have the Tank done hopefully tomorrow , thanks for watching

bad clay possibly? make sure its good quality and also that the base wont bend by using thick, non flexible material
Hey Andy what do you think would be a good useable airbrush for a good (low) price?
IWATA NEO are pretty good and not too expensive
Thank you
do you have a link where i can get those palm trees please. great video and thx for sharing
no I'm sorry Not any more
Wow ! Good job !
Congrats on 10,000 !!!!!!
thank you
What green tamiya colour code..for the tree..❓😅
Any recommendations for palm trees for a 1/144 scale diorama. Doing a scarif star wars diorama and cant find good 1/144 scale or around that scale palm trees
Did you find any? I am doing the exact same thing at a 1/144 scale
what size palms did you use?
Kinda wanna make this too but did you make the wooden base yourself?
Oh and do you glue the tank to the diorama or just place it on there loose
yes just cut up some boards then routed the edges
no just place them on top
+Andy's Hobby Headquarters allright thanks nice job on the board though
Just buy a picture frame
What is the name of the super glue he uses
would plain old clay be any use for dioramas?
if it dries hard and doesn't shrink very much you probably could.
Thanks☺

sounds neat. im working on a gulf war diorama with and abrams and m3 bradley
what kind of spray gun did you use?
Where do you buy your diorama bases from?
hi I make them from scratch
+Andy's Hobby Headquarters could you do a quick video on how you make them?
wer do you get the speay paint fingi
You can tell he hasn't baked before lol 🤣🤣🤣
I can't understand anything
WHAT THE HECK IS BALLAST?
You know how railroad tracks have rocks that holds the wooden ties in place? That's called ballast. This ballast is scale stones used for model railroad tracks.
You've put the tracks in wrong
Didn't Afrika Korps reverse their tracks for the desert conditions or something?
how?
모...래
I'm sorry but this looks terrible
