In this tutorial, I show you how to build an architectural scale model from balsa wood and basswood strips. I cover several DIY techniques for creating the Ultimate, Realistic Diorama. 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!
