Building an ALIEN Lab Escape Diorama

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hi Guys, in this video I build an Alien Laboratory Escape Diorama. I used some packaging for the walls and even gave sculpting the aliens a go. Hope you enjoy.

    This build would be perfect for some LEDs! Maybe put them over the aliens in the tubes and have the broken tube LED to flicker like it was damaged in the escape. Just a thought. Cool work though! (the demise of the lab worker was a great touch 😉)

    Micro and spaghetti LED's will make a good edition, if you want to add some lighting. They are tiny, and the spaghetti LED's are flexible, and you can cut them to size. You just need to solder them and connect them.

    You need to lightly sand plastics to give it some tooth for the glue to grab onto. Trying to glue smooth plastic doesn't work well for the same reason spiders can't climb out of bathtubs.

    That has the look of a classic 70s or 80s sci-fi movie. It could be set on a space ship, or an orbiting research facility. The cardboard packing material was a perfect choice, it gives that exact vibe, same with the 3D printed computer terminals. They look like the ones we had in the computer lab in my high school in the 80s.

    I'm very impressed with your broken-glass effects, it can be tricky getting plastic to 'look right', but you cracked it [see what i did there?]. The mutiple blows until it finally shattered was a nice touch too. And I think that scientist probably got what was coming to him... Nice work.

I was going to suggest that those would make a great part of a spaceship command center with the holes being view screens or windows. Again great job on the diorama and a great back story for it.

    1:55 I concur; that is a really cool structure. Sanding embroidery mesh can give it some tooth, and make it easier to stick down. Have you experimented with adding a tiny amount of smoke to your model when photographing it, to give it some areal perspective, and so, a great sense of scale?

    @sub39h oh gosh, because they are rubbery, probably have some silicone in them. Basically I tried to prime them and then paint on thick acrylic paint. It took a couple of coats but it covered. However, the moment I touched them the paint comes off so I handled them super carefully, glued them in place and then touched up any paint lift.

Haven't seen any cheap as you mentioned (price not a deal breaker) will check around, maybe you have supply list. Didn't check yet. Maybe make my own pour. Your narration is as sweet to the ear as your dioramas are candy to the eye..subbed..a pleasure, mine.

    Hi buddy, it's always a pleasure to see how your skills create the imagination in 3D. The resin prints are a delightful surprise for a detailed look. The Aliens look fabulous. They evoke that wiry spindle look. This whole build is quite unique and a very interesting, cerebral piece. It makes one think - "What if?" It makes me think - "What if I have nightmares about this?" But, I'll sleep easy knowing it was just a figment of your imagination! Or is it mine? See you again friend.
