In this tutorial, I show you how to make a super realistic Old West street front for a miniature diorama in 1/24 scale or G scale (1:22.5). I show you lots of quick and easy construction techniques using readily available and affordable materials that can be purchased at most hobby stores. I show you how to make models from foam core, and add a realistic finish by applying clapboard made from basswood and balsa wood, along with board and batten finishes and ordinary wood planks. I show you how to create realistic windows made from 3D printed parts, how to weather paint with acrylic paint chipping medium and packing tape, how to weather with acrylic washes and india ink, how to used real dirt for dioramas, how to make a model railway track from scratch, how to make rusty corrugated metal roofing, how to make balsa wood shingles, and much more!
I used a Bachmann 4-6-0 steam locomotive for this Wild West diorama. Let me know what you think! This would be a great setting for a model railroad layout, or miniature table top war gaming.

    Ever since I was a kid I always loved mini realistic buildings and wondered how they were created!

  • @hj179

    A great look. How about some bullet holes in the glass and broken glass/damaged transoms/muntins too. Old buildings can also be leaning/out of square. Torn curtains in the windows, Potbelly smoke stack sticking out the roof emitting smoke. A small fan can be used off-camera to simulate wind and stir up some dust/tumbleweeds.

    All of your building designs look just like the ones Dave from ThunderMesaStudio makes from scratch! They are perfect! So realistic. My favorite time period is anytime before 1870ish. More primitive/simple/New England style. I live in CT in a pretty old house...so I guess it makes sense haha. Anyway, love this as usual! Thank you for sharing ☺️ P.S. I love that everything is handmade and not made with a 3D printer. Real handmade wood buildings look best in my opinion.

    You did a really good job and the details are gorgeous, but the windows are too big and the bigger one on the right side doesn't make sense, such a big window can't be made on a load-bearing wall, the structure would collapse.

    I'm actually building a wild west town at the moment, too so this is perfect! You are so skilled, thank you for the great ideas and techniques. Especially the way you achieve the old and weathered looks is amazing, will definitely use that for chipping paint looks. You're lucky to have a desert nearby :-)
