Building an ALIEN Lab Escape Diorama

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.
If you have any questions or need some advice about materials, then please do not hesitate to ask.

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 😉)

Yeah great idea. I thought the same haha. Just an excuse to build another right?
Wow, awesome work! Great dio scene 👏👏👏

Thanks that's really kind of you to say!!
Excellent!!! Most dioramas are all old-fashioned or Victorian and that's great and all, but it's so cool to see something different! Especially since I've been working on similar type stuff.

"I bought some plastic bottles... These would become test tubes for alien species of course!" Haha! Only people watching / appreciating this type of hobby would understand the connection between the two! Haha! :)

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.

Great tip. I often do that. I still find that some plastics just don't like certain types of glue. Must be something in the chemical make up. 👍

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.

Hahaha brilliant. Thank you for your kind words. I went to school in the 80s too, so I guess it's part of my experience. It was the cardboard packing that gave me the idea. Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest places ✨️
Now those Greys are *huge* hahaha! Guess these are the one's that aren't droids.
Back in the 90s I did built a temple ruin out of cardboard packaging like this, I painted it gray and then drew the black lines for the individual boulders on it. Then I covered it with moss and a couple of dry sticks... the perfect diorama for my Indian Jones action figure :-)

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.

Oh, that moment when you first wiped the blood with your finger and made the smear was magical. I think I liked it better when there was less blood and the smear was pinker-how juicy are these scientists, anyway?-but an excellent piece of storytelling indeed. Thanks as always, your stuff is so inspiring.

Thanks dude. And I agree, with blood, often less is more. I guess in my head I pictured a full melt down - the body (or bodies) went pop.... haha. Cheers brother and always good to have you here.
Outstanding job on that diorama. Love the use of the cardboard packaging material. I like how you add the displays to fill the holes in the packaging. 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.

Very very nice. As mentioned the shattered glass and protruding wires coming out best I've seen. Soon I will be using resin pour. 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.
Something akin to the this has been on my to build list for years now, thank you for the inspiration! Great work, and I hope to see what else you come up with to share.

You were good when i started watching your channel, but you keep improving 🙂 Would you consider doing a diorama based on a game or a film/TV-series next? Seeing as you're more partial to scifi-ish themes, something from the Fallout franchise? Or why not a step away from it and make something from the horror genre? Anyway, thanks for the video, i enjoyed it as usual

Cheap sets of nail brushes from amazon. They come in a range of sizes and I basically have 3 brush pots brand new for detailed painting. 'Used'for everyday painting and 'glue' brushes. I'm terrible at cleaning brushes well so I kind of see them as disposable. Approx £10 for 10 brushes

Looks amazing I love it! Would hot glue gun sticks work for your resin tubes? Resin is messy and expensive. I know the glue sticks don’t have the same transparency, but they do look great with an led light shining thru it to give it a tint? Just a thought, but I love this scene keep at it man I dig your work!

Thanks for your kind comment. Yeah hot glue could have worked but it is difficult to colour and dries quite milky. Could be a cool effect but there are always many options. 👍
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.
