Making a Gladiator Combat Diorama

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

#Diorama #Rome #Gladiator
The monthly art challenge that I host on my Patreon was themed around Ancient History so when I saw a box of gladiators at my local hobby store, I knew they’d work perfectly for this week’s build.
A few of my patrons have channels of their own! Check them out here:
Holy Cow Creates - • The Flood Story - Noah...
Light Box Life - • Turning Greek Myths in...
Seriously Nerdy - • Crafting a scene from ...
Boylei Idea - • Pyramids of Egypt
PKT Crafts - • Viking vs. Mech Warrio...
Craft and Quest - • The Archaeologist Dior...
P.S. If I had been able to use the song, "Now We Are Free", from the Gladiator soundtrack, I would have.

    Dude I absolutely LOVE the song "Now We Are Free" from Gladiator, listening to it on Spotify while watching this video.. 😍 Also, thank you for hosting the art challenge and supporting and mentoring smaller art KZreadrs like me. It's always a lot of fun to see what everyone else comes up with, and discovering awesome new KZread channels from everyone who participated.

    Liquid latex is great as a masking device and it’s a lot cheaper than the name brand companies “Liquid Mask” products. All you need to do is apply your base coat and then using a fine brush you apply the latex to the areas you would like to mask. Then you can use a toothbrush dipped in warm water to take it off. It works great and liquid latex is really cheap. I bought a 500 ml bottle for $14 AU.

    been going through your videos and am quite inspired. im working on a model railroad (HO Scale. planning stages) with my Dad and these videos are quite informative as to the process. i have a problem however. you use a lot of tools and materials that many beginners, myself included, dont have. i was wondering if you'd be able to do a sort of "on a budget" mini series; where you try and make something with minimal budget, including tools and paints (not that you'd buy the tools again. just include any tools you need in the budget). i think doing some projects within the resource and skill range of beginners would be helpful for those of us to get into the hobby.
