Not so Realistic Scenery Vol.12

28/7/2018

In most of my previous videos I've always been striving to create scenes that might be seen in every day life and as realistic as I can get it... However in this next video I'm still using the same techniques to create realistic scenery but the main difference is I'll be creating a scene/diorama that sits atop a pillar of earth with visible sewerage pipes and a subway underneath that overall shows a scene that would be more likely to be in a fantasy or sci-fi type scene.

Overall the scene will encompass a house situated on a pillar of earth with the edges appearing to be breaking away and details typically hidden by soil will be exposed.
The entire scene will be detailed including lighting effects and interior house details.

Interior house details will also be included, for the most part the interior details will be hidden however if someone decides to take a closer look at the model they will be presently surprised that the interior includes tables, chairs and even a TV.

The 3D printer I use to create the tiny HO scale details including this HO scale garage which will sit beside the house is the Anycubic Photon Resin 3D printer which I have shown in previous videos. I have been using this printer for the past 6 months and every time I take a model off the printer I'm always impressed with the amazing detail it resolves.
Stay tuned for updates, this upcoming tutorial will be full of new tips and tricks!

lol... yeah I don't know why I do this to myself 😃 I'm drawing inspiration from a miniature model artist called Thomas Doyle for this diorama.
He does some absolutely amazing work and I've always wondered how I could incorporate model trains into something similar to what he does. Should be a fun project.

Future plans:

In the upcoming months I'll be working on a new eBook about getting the most from static grass.
It's only a short 30 page eBook but it will be packed full of tips on using a static grass applicator to get the most out of you scenery!
Once complete this book will be available to purchase or if you become a patron it will be available to read depending on your level of support.
In the mean time, if you want to learn how to build your own static grass applicator and make home made static grass tufts you can check out the tutorial here:
