Realistic Ruin Diorama (Part 1): 1000s of HAND CARVED Bricks

I had so much fun building this little vignette! In the part 1 of this 2 part series I am going to show you my experiements to make a brick ruin using nothing but air drying sculpting clay, some water color (yes, water color!) and other easily available modeling materials. This is one of those projects that are built completely on the philosophy of scratchbuilding where your biggest tool is your creativity and ways to innovate. 00:00 Introduction 00:38 Background 01:28 Preperation 02:28 Guides for Bricks 03:00 Cutting out Windows 03:37 The 2nd Layer 05:04 Scribing Bricks 06:36 Painting with Water Color 08:29 Arches and Lintels 09:38 Base 10:35 Finer Details Make sure to stay tuned for part 2 where I will be showing again some unique techniques to build a highly detailed and realistic model tree with elaborate root and branch structures.
