Dinky Dioramas

My name is Mandy and I love to Scratch build dioramas and anything miniature. I created this channel to share what I discover in my own learning methods as I build and also what I have learned from the KZread community. I as always hope you get something from these videos as I have been fortunate to learn from this wonderful platform with the sharing of art and creativity.

    Excellent! You must be playing the remastered version? It's a really nice open world game, there's something oddly beautiful about a post-apocalyptic world, and the detail in Fallout is just incredible, but I'm not surprized, as anything attached to Bethesda is wonderful!

    Mandy, I stumbled onto your channel looking for vines (for my ruined church). Wow, quite a variety of builds, from suitably disgusting old mattresses to Steam Punk airships! Now I can’t unsee your hay bales, and of course I “need” to build some. Just subscribed.

    A ruined church build sounds beautiful! I've not tackled such a build yet but would love to have an attempt, old churches are just a lovely building even when not miniaturized. Would you be able to tell me the medium predominantly used for your church? I'd like to be able to imagine it through your description. PS: Yes, you do "need" to make some bales of hay! 😀

    @@dinkydioramas8349 Lol. So my 3D printer seems to be permanently under the weather, so I bought 4 church window frames and a rosette frame from Etsy. Apart from that, everything was scratch built. Everything was built using XPS insulation foam, which is my material of choice. It’s meant to be an old Gothic ruin, so no roof, just three damaged walls with small buttresses. It is in 1/56 scale for wargaming using 28mm figures. I’ll be using Verrotwood as the rules. You should Google that rule set, as it is a small folk horror game.

    @@crhkrebs It sounds like a very beautiful piece of work, XPS is a great choice, it has to be the most versatile building medium you can possibly use. I had a look at Verrotwood and am intrigued by images of old West towns people have created to play on...I'll have to look further into it, it looks like there are a lot of unique builders out there creating tabletop boards and pieces for Verrotwood.

    Did you rinse out the cleaning agent out of the baby wipes before putting them in the glue? This looks so incredibly good; I can't wait to try this myself.

  • @dinkydioramas8349
    @dinkydioramas834922 күн бұрын

    Yes, I did give the wipes a good rinse, more because I wanted to give the glue and water mix a chance to be absorbed into the wipes, as they were already filled with wet cleaning agent. The more you wring them out, the more glue will be absorbed and the thicker and stronger the wipe will become once dry. Have fun, 🙂it's a great process and interesting to play with.

    Thats what I love about You Tube, we get to watch others create things in a way we might never have imagined, and then we can expand those ideas as original techniques. Without you Tube, I wouldn't have known what a diorama was. I'm just so happy to send back out what was given to me due to this platform. 🙂
