1/35 Scratch - Modern Nature

Torsten
That's so😎, great build and I give a big WOW, really ❤️️ it

Stefan Schacht
nice start, count me in

coporado
Thanks Gentleman, happy you are following 🙂

Spanjaard
count me in too 🙂

Bernhard Schrock
Ha! Meine Schuppentür in 1:1 siehts auch nicht realistischer aus!

coporado
Spanjaard, Bernhard thank you and great you're in! 🙂

Rui S
Looking great 👍 I'm in, Mate 😎

Bernhard Schrock
The idea & realisation of wall & bricks of foam is superb.

coporado
Great you´re in, mate! 🙂
Had some experiments to find a satisfying technique to display moss. Finally sand, foliage and some herbs applied with white glue is the desired mix.
Started the base, roughly colored and some details added before applying soil and turf for the ground texture.

Rui S
Photo 16... Excellent Mate 👍

Peppy
All sorts of ideas sprang to mind.
Very good.

coporado
Thanks mates! 🙂

Alex Rodionov
Very realistic. ?

coporado
Thanks Alex and all the likes! 🙂

Alec K
Great work mate 👍

coporado
Thank you Alec and thanks to all those who liked! 🙂

Xerxes
Great idea for making the roof parts 👍

coporado
Thank you, Xerxes! Meanwhile the groundwork was done as preparation for the vegetation. I used soil, sand, coffee and tobacco for achieving the ground texture.

coporado
Some gardening was done on that base 🙂

Carol391
WOW!

coporado
Thank you, Carol!

Torsten
That's really WOW 😎

coporado
Thank you, Torsten!

Bruce Huxtable
Almost ready for a For Sale sign to appear 😉 Your observation skills, and ability to mimic reality are amazing, and inspiring.

Daniel Klink
Just amazing Sascha! ...As always btw 🙂

Christian Lehmann
Toll!!

Spanjaard
i fully agree with Bruce and Daniel

coporado
Thank you so much for your kind comments!much much appreciated, mates 🙂

Ingo F

coporado
Thank you, Ingo!

Bruce Huxtable
It's called gardening, Coporado ? My jaw dropped when I saw your fridge! Wow!

Rui S
Amazing fridge, hehehe

coporado
Thanks for your warm comments mates!

coporado
Some more details completed

Robin (WhiteGlint)
All these details, amazing! 👍
Lovely project!

Spanjaard
awesome details.

Erik
Auf Banner-Batterien hat mein Vater immer geschworen. 😉
Toll gemacht, schöne Oxydation an den Polen. 👍

Bruce Huxtable
So, just an old tennis ball chewed by a dog, the shopping trolley, and discarded MacDonalds to do?

coporado
Thanks for your comments mates, happy you like it! 🙂
@Bruce: nice ideas for some more details, keeping these im mind for the next session on my workbench 🙂
@Eric: haha hab ich also auf die richtige Marke gesetzt 🙂 fand das Logo einfach super

bughunter
Laß von den Batteriepolen bloß nix an das Erdreich kommen, sonst gibt das noch Ärger mit dem Umweltamt! Was für eine Sauerei 👍

coporado
Dankeschön 🙂 die Mängelliste vom Amt wird wohl länger 🙂

coporado
More details came to mind.
Sorry Bruce, tried to scratch build a shopping cart, badly failed. The ball and McD is still on the list 🙂

bughunter
I had some in mind, found it, but only 1/48.
Shopping Cart (Brengun BRL48058, 1:48)

Bruce Huxtable
Okay, Coporado, I'll let you off, but one of those awful plastic pull-alongs will have to do instead 😉 I have to confess to having thrown a rock at an old fashioned t.v. at the local dump, and the screen imploded like a bomb going off ! ! I'm really enjoying having another look through your album 🙂 Totally in awe at your skills.

Moritz Fentzahn
Nice work Sascha, as always a great pleasure to follow.
I can recommend this shopping cart Shopping Cart (Royal Model 737, 1:35)

Thomas Bischoff
Simply stunning - a pleasure to watch the progress 👍

Torsten
Awesome, really ❤️️ it

coporado
Thanks for your Kind comments and the kit suggestions. Keen to place an order for the cart in 35 🙂
Bruce I hope you didn't hurt anyone with your TV bomb on the dump 🙂

Bruce Huxtable
Survived to tell the tale 🙂 Def NOT recommended though 😉

coporado
So here we go with the shopping cart 🙂 Hope to find some time the next days for test fitting. For more vegetation I tried lasercut- plants the first time. Needs time to paint and shape those.

bughunter
If you go shopping with this beautiful cart - for me a six pack, please 🙂
=> a piece of plastic foil with sic holes? This is also bad waste in every part of the ocean now.

Bruce Huxtable
The weeds (nettles?) look great, as does your new trolley 🙂 Is that a wee scratch on the monitor's screen? 🙂

Daniel Klink
Respect mate👍👍👍

coporado
Thank you mates, your comments are much appreciated, as always!
The cart has received some more details. Not yet glued, final postioning is coming along with the vegetation that needs to be added.
@bughunter: beer is checked on the list 🙂
@Bruce: Perhaps somebody throw a stone?! 🙂

Simon Nagorsnik
Looks so f.....g good 😆 awsesome work mate 👍👍

Simon Nagorsnik
I love all the details, a lot of new impressions

Bruce Huxtable
👍😉

coporado
Thanks Simon and Bruce 🙂

coporado
Some bits and pieces were added and finally everything was glued. The prepared bushes and trees were placed to figure out their final position before glueing them. Not yet sure about the positioning and including all bushes in the dio. Comments and thoughts are welcome, mates!

Spanjaard
it is simply fantastic. amazing job!

Thomas Bischoff
Comparing pictures I vote against bushes, they are more a distraction for me.
But whatever you choose - it's s beautiful setting 👍

Torsten
For me it looks great how it is 👍

Bruce Huxtable
For me, I would lose the tree. It distracts the eye upwards, and away from the foreground. It is also a tad spindly.IMHO. I do think the other vegetation looks great.👍 Your vision and judgement are what matter though, as each step takes it nearer to your dream. It still has a sense of neglect, but not over-worked or cluttered. What is your own opinion, Coporado?

Mark K
Very impressive!

Alec K
I think the tree and the bushes are great, if only because they likely would be present in real. Will looks superb either way 👍

Xerxes
Great Diorama. Well done 👍

coporado
Thanks mates, much appreciated!!!
Finally, after lots of test fitting, I went for the bushes and the vegetation was glued. So ready to go for the water in the front.
@Bruce: You were right concerning the tree. The more it tried to find it´s right position, the more I realized it fits not really into the scene.
Sorry for the bad illumination, really need to get some new lights.

Spanjaard
It is simply stunning, I love it

Alec K
Awesome work 👍

coporado
Thanks for your kind comments, mates. I'm really thankful for your patience while following that slow speed project 🙂

Dominik Weitzer
awesome work

Marius
This is very impressive. I love it. So is this just nature or maybe some zombies will be added? 😏

coporado
Thank you Dominik and Marius!
@Marius: Its just a snapshot of messed up nature, I unfortunately spot far too often in real life. So no zombies to be added 🙂

Neuling
Your mess is just beautiful! And, it´s a pity: the worst zombies can be the careless people next door .....

Spanjaard
fully agree with Neuling....

Bruce Huxtable
The one ray of Hope, is the new shovel that someone has brought. They have quite a job ahead, to clear up years of neglect.....

Rui S
Excellent work Mate 👍

Christian Lehmann
Bravo! 👍

coporado
Thank all of you for your kind comments, mates!
@Neuling: you are so right, its a shame what these zombies dump into nature, a few meters next to the recycling center...
@Bruce: quite a Lot of Work to do there 🙂

Hugh CAST.
What an awesome dio. The level of realism is incredible.😍😍

coporado
Thank you Hugh!
Finally, the water was added using resin. Next is sanding the edges and praying that I can finish this crystal clear.

Robert Podkoński
Looks fantastic!

Rui S
Beautiful 👍. more transparent than that is impossible 🤔 I wonder what resin did you use? I've used still whater in my Schwimmwagen dio
The Neglected Kit Resurrection Groupbuild | Album by mig (1:35) and it was all blurred.

Robert
Tolle Arbeit. Grandioses Scratch, was du hier zeigst. Eine Frage zum Gebäude: Welches Styrofoam hast du verwendet? Hättest du einen Link oder die Marke?

Bruce Huxtable
Sheer brilliance, Sir! Superb end result, that reflects all of your careful work. It has been a delight to watch this come together 🙂👍

coporado
Thank you for your warm comments, mates!

@Rui: I tried still water and other similar products. They work well for very thin coats like puddles. When it comes to bigger layers these are either blurred or won´t dry out cristal clear.
I used this one here --> shop.breddermann-kun..glasklar-e300GB.html
It´s a 2 component resin with a very, very, yes very long working time (300 minutes). It takes 48 hours until it´s dry. Due to the long working and drying time, there is no heat that may destroy any objects covered with the resin. Absolutely recommendable. The only "negative" aspect is the capillarity. The resin really sneaked in every edge of the riverbank, which resulted in a glossy wet look of the ground texture and vegetation in the whole area around the water. I needed to "repair" that with another layer of soil and sand. Next time I would pour the water before doing the ground cover and vegetation.

@Robert: Ich verwende Depafit. Das ist eine Art Styrodur, nur fester geschäumt und deshalb etwas unempfindlicher bei der Bearbeitung. Lässt sich hervorragend schneiden und gravieren und bringt schon eine gewisse Oberflächentextur mit. Ich hatte meins bei Hornbach gekauft --> hornbach.de/shop/Dep..6179125/artikel.html

@Bruce: The dio is not yet completed. The edges need to be sanded and hopefully turn out cristal clear adding some resin at the end. Finally I´m going to add some motion on the water using acrylic gel.

Kim Branders
Outstanding work.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Excelent work, ist looks so realistic!

coporado
Thanks for your kind comments!

bughunter
If it was summer now, you'd want to jump in there (apart from the rubbish there), so realistic.

Augie

Unglaublich großartig echt! Schaue mir immer wieder die Fotos an und entdecke jedes Mal neue Details! Quelle für Ideen für die Flora um meinen kleinen Leuchtturm.

Spanjaard

coporado
Thank you, much appreciated, mates!

@bernhard: schön, dass es hier und da etwas Inspiration für dein Projekt gibt 🙂

Simon Nagorsnik
it`s always a pleasure when this dio pops up again!
truly an eyecatcher!!

coporado
Completed after almost a year. This project was intended to enhance landscaping and scratch building skills. I definetely can tick that box, gathered some new tweaks and
experience.
I´d like to say thank you to all of you who accompanied this build. Thank you for all your inspiration, ideas, hints, suggests and encouraging comments!

Jv
I don't think you need any practice
