Train Dioramas 2026 from Japan

This one is for the train enthusiasts, a video on N-scale train dioramas, including a rollercoaster dioramas. 

Unlike the plastic scale model, we can see the trains moving inside the dioramas.

It's from Choo-Choo Travel from "Gran-Ship Train Festa 2026"—one of Japan's biggest model train festivals! Here's the link: https://youtu.be/5moMhjLFHyA?si=Utl_OW_F-J6Yu6le

Happy modelling!

A collection painting scale models videos

Today I'm sharing some videos on painting. It's what makes or break a scale model unless we broke the model during building, hahaha...

First we have Brush painting a scale model aircraft -Full build and painting the Airfix vampire 1/72 scale model from yorkshireman models. Brush painting is rare these days, most modeler simply use airbrush. In the video he assemble and paint as he builds, sharing some reasoning and tips along the way.

The second one is in Japanese, so you need to enable subtitle [Airbrush Quality in 3 Hours] I Painted Hasegawa 1/72 Raiden with New Markers [Quick & Easy] from PlamoLab of Kagurazaka Data. What's interesting is the use of markers which I think is plenty available in Japan. The modeler highlights the use of airbrush, brushes and markers, their strengths and weaknesses. A very interesting way to paint a model I must say!

The third is about painting figures, not a lot of modeler enjoy this, because it's quite difficult compared to painting vehicles, aircraft or ships: Painting Figures The Quick Paint Way With Classic Acrylics - US Paratroopers & Resistance from biberhunter_scale_models. The models themselves are resin, so it's a bit different to cut it from the molds or support as he called it. A mix of airbrush and brushes are used and he explained his methods very well.

Well, that's all for this post, see you in the next post. Happy modelling!
