Thanks to you, I'm getting back into my #1 hobby. I've been building models since 1954 and have seen many changes over the past decades. Materials are now available to us that years ago we only dreamed of. Now, after watching many of your well perceived videos, and an over 10 year hiatus, I can hardly wait to get my hands back into it. Will specialize in 1:35 scale, and already have acquired figures and vehicles, but all the buildings and scenery will be created from scratch, which thanks to your help is now much easier to accomplish. With respect. - R.M.

Great work, it's a cool idea for me to make my zombie apocalypse city. You may already know it, but a tip to add a broken window effect is to broke some transparent hard plastic, like CD case (I use "ferrero rocher" case), to have "broken glass" that you can add to your terrain or miniatures base.

Well done Mel. I have to admit that I doubted that the building was going to look good (to me at least) when you originally did the accessories but after the texturing and the paint that whole piece is just fantastic. In the end the only thing that I dislike how every one of the windows is a perfectly square frame. When the rest of the building is just rounded at the edges it seems like some of the windows/walls would be missing leaving just roundish holes in the wall but that's probably just me trying to turn personal preference into something to say is wrong with your work lol Definitely 1,000 times better than whatever I'd put together before checking out your tutorials! Do you think that building could handle a 3rd or even a 4th floor or would that be too much for that frame?

Great tutorial pal

Just checking Wilkos for the same color tester pots. They still do Chocolate Dream and Milky Coffee. Can you remember the names of the greys used? The dark grey could be Storm Cloud or Pure Grey. The lighter one could be Urban Grey or Grey White. Still only a £1 a pot, so still a bargain for painting terrain. Cheers Mel.

Quick question, can all of this be done with acryllic paint? I'm on a very tight budget AtM (plus the area I live in has 0 hobby shops selling high-quality paint.) Hopefully the same effects can be pulled off with Wal-Mart bought paints.

I have been following along with your guide and have gotten up to this point - you mention "advanced techniques and styles" when you get to the big piece; did you end up making this advanced tutorial? I can't find it and would like to check it out before starting with the painting stages. (I plan on doing this today, so I will shoot you an email with some photos as well) Thanks for such an amazing channel!!!!
