How to build a realistic, miniature, scale model diorama of Santorini Greece. I had so much fun capturing the Cycladic Architecture in 1/24 scale.

I'd greatly appreciate it :D Check out Diorama Presepe for some Realistic Scenery Products: In this tutorial DIY, I show you how to build an architectural scale model from foam core or foam board from scratch. I cover several techniques for creating the Ultimate, Ultra-Realistic Diorama. You can apply these techniques to anything you are making, such as dioramas, scale models, model railway scenery, wargaming terrain, warhammer 40k, dollhouse accessories, action figure displays, and much more! I teach you several technical skills, such as how to cut through foam board, how to 3D print details for dioramas, such as miniature tables, chairs, windows, doors, flower pots, etc, how to create a realistic stucco texture for miniature scale models, how to use an airbrush for painting miniature details, how to make realistic scenery, how to make and paint realistic stone walkways using XPS Foam, how to make realistic miniature staircases, and much more! My favorite technique that I learned was making realistic scale model flowers using 3D prints. It was tedious gluing each individual flower using super glue, but I was very happy with the results!
