You can apply these techniques to anything that you’re working on, such as dioramas, scale models, model railway scenery, model railroad layouts, wargaming terrain, warhammer 40k, d&d scenery, tabeltop gaming, action figure displays, dollhouse accessories, and whatever else comes to mind. I show you how to make a model house from scratch that looks hyper realistic, just using some miniature, strip basswood and balsa wood you can buy from the hobby and crafts store! I take you though every step of building a wooden frame, adding clapboard siding to the frame of the building, making a roof structure and shingles from balsa wood, adding a wooden porch, making a miniature brick chimney from XPS foam, Painting and weathering everything, adding 3D printed furniture/cookware/silverware/accessories, and adding greenery like static grass!
