I Made a STAR WARS Jungle Canyon Diorama!

I decided for my first video that I wanted to make a Diorama featuring something from my favourite movie franchise...…..STAR WARS!
The miniatures I used are from Fantasy Flight Games 'X-WING' table top game. They were absolutely perfect for this build being 1/270th scale.
Lighting techniques are from @Boylei and are fantastic for showing a super realistic blaster effect. Check out how here! • SQUADRONS | Star Wars ...
I've also used a few of @GeekGamingScenics awesome products in this build. I cant recommend them enough!
Here's a list of products I used in this build!
X-Wing models: amzn.to/3S8pxGM
Mod Podge Mat: amzn.to/3xsGvpW
Woodland Scenics Fine Leaf Foliage: amzn.to/3I3mL0Z

Isopropyl Alcohol: amzn.to/3Ef6DIC
Liquitex Acrylic Ink: amzn.to/3SbuwH2

    From one Chris to another, this is an incredible first video and I can't wait for more. It'd also be great to get some commentary during the video to explain your decision making. You seem to have a few techniques that differ from how the big craft channels do things. They clearly work for you and look amazing, so it'd be awesome to get your reasoning etc 🙂

    A great build and a well-shot, well-edited video. I'm looking forward to many more. All the Star Wars dioramas I've seen have been set in rocky wastelands or lush forests/jungles. It's great to see something new. And using fiber optics in the explosion is brilliant (in the British sense) and clever (in the American sense). As others have said, some sort of narration would be nice, maybe recorded after the final edit was done. Here are some questions I have about this build - I don't expect you to answer them, but they might give you an idea of the kinds of these you might want to tell us in the next video. What is the glop you used to form the surface of the rocks? What is the glop you used to cover the flat ground? Why two different glops? Why did you wash-dry brush-wash-dry brush-wash-dry brush the rocks? Wouldn't it have been easier to do several washes and then dry brush with several different colors? What was the dark brown texture you spread on the sides of the river at the beginning? It looked like dried kitchen herbs, or maybe ground coffee. What was the light brown stuff you sprinkled on the sides of the river along with the green flocking? It looked like crushed-up dried leaves. How did you manage to make the dams for the resin pour with just masking tape when everyone else on KZread needs thick sheets of acrylic and hot glue? You added a drop of blue and a drop of brown to the resin, which made it look brown. But when you poured it, it looked quite blue. Did you add more blue dye off-camera? Again, no need to answer here. You can cover it all in future videos, which I'll definitely be watching. Best of luck!
