The Battle of Arnhem - Part 1: Construction - 1/35 WW2 Diorama

As some of you may know my modelling time is limited for a short while but I had a few spare hours yesterday and seeing as I already had the video footage, I thought I'd put together a video showing how I built my Battle of Arnhem diorama.......I'm still in the process of painting and weathering the diorama, so early in the new year when it's all finished I'll upload a part 2 and show you how I did that and the finished diorama.......I hope you enjoy watching and you all have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year......See you in 2023 👍

    It looks so simple. 😉 I know the place very well. As a child we often bin in Oosterbeek. I grew up in Velp. My father is now 95. His brother was at that time in Oosterbeek visiting his fiancee. Unlucky she was one of the many citizens who did lost their life in that battle. Very impressive build of the diorama. 👍🏻

    As usual, stunning work mate. Ive got some foam boards and I'm going to give my own building scratch-building a go - RT Dio and their ilk make a lot of money off me and I'd really like to be able to do it myself. Sounds like it is relatively simple as long as you are careful, plan it properly and measure things out correctly. Mind you, you make it look easier than I bet it is. Ive got a Tamiya Elefant in the stash begging for a Tuscan villa sort of vignette/dio so i'll go back to your Marder video to get some inspiration. PS - what kit is the StuG?

  • @CWModelling

    @CWModelling

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi, firstly I'd suggest getting yourself a 1/35 scale ruler, you can find them on Ebay.......having reference photos is very helpful as you can do things like counting bricks for height and width and work out dimensions from knowing the size of a brick.....measuring doors and windows in your own home will give you an indication of sizes for these which you can use to make a guesstimate for windows and doors in your model.....I also use a 1/35 figure as a reference to get a feel for how things are looking.....and I suppose my biggest tip is to draw out your design first as this allows you to tweak things before you commit to the foam......I think I drew this building three times before it started to look right.....I hope that helps you get started and then its just a case of practicing👍
