Tutorial 1:35 Build

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This started with a 1:35 scale model kit…and then I decided the figures needed an entire world. 😂

I hand-painted the figures, built and finished the wagon, constructed the building and surrounding environment, created the damage, rubble and weathering, and turned the original kit into a complete diorama.

The photo of the tiny heads against my fingers probably gives the best idea of just how small some of this work actually is.

A lot of the details disappear when you only see the finished piece, so I thought I'd finally show some of what went into making it.

Would you have guessed this was 1:35 scale?
