Concrete Texture: • How to Make and Paint Faux Concrete S...
In this tutorial, I show you how to make a realistic bunker scale model, similar to what you may see on D-Day June 6,1944 in Normandy, France. In actuality, I'm replicating an old, abandoned WWII US Army Base which used to be Coastal Defense Fort throughout WW1 and WW2. I know this bunker looks a lot like the one from the opening scene of Omaha Beach from Saving Private Ryan. But this observation bunker is actually supposed to ba a much smaller observation bunker made in the United States. I built this diorama in 1/24 scale, it could also be built in 1/35 scale to fit your military plastic model kits of soldiers and tanks, etc.
I show you how to make the old, weathered concrete bunkers using pink XPS foam, and a convincing concrete surface texture using mortar mix used in bricklaying. I show you how to weather a concrete surface using washes of ink, as well as acrylic paints, and enamel paints. I show you how to 3D print miniature accessories, as well as how to paint a rusty, chipped, metal finish. I show you how to landscape for your dioramas and model railroad layouts by laying the landforms down with styrofoam, and then coating everything with sculptamold. Then I show you how to cast in paint plaster rocks from the Woodland Scenics Rock Molds. After that, I show you how to make dirt paste for dioramas and scale models, how to make ultra realistic Static Grass, How to make miniature moss, how to make realistic miniature vines and ivy for dollhouses and dioramas. I show you how to paint and weather the bunker to look abandoned, showing its age through moss, rust, mold, and other stains, all replicated using paint. I show you how to use both brush painting techniques, as well as airbrushing, both of which are great for beginner model makers.

This is so good My german electrician grandfather is happy to remember the good times he had with Americans, british, and canadians. 😊
-
The foliage and plants are so impressive. Usually I find that’s where a lot of miniatures don’t look as realistic. Awesome job.
-
The weathering and rust looks amazing, I love the cracks in the concrete
-
You absolutely nailed the concrete work. I grew up around US Army seacoast fortifications, 8 inch disappearing guns, and you created perfection.
-
Amazing work again! The outdoor photos are just stunning. Anytime a miniature doesn't look like a miniature its always a testament to the creators skill and this is no exception.
-
Nightshift is the Bob Ross of miniature painting. The guy is always a blast in his videos. Super pleased to hear his name dropped, been watching his stuff for a while.
-
as a geologist I said that your rocks are a masterpiece
-
One of the best tutorials about scenery i’ve ever seen. Pls keep posting
-
It looks so realistic it fits with the outside!
-
this is by far the best model i have ever seen on the internet
-
Absolutely nailed it! This looks just like the leftover WWII bunkers and gun emplacement in San Francisco and the Marin Headlands.
-
I've just returned from Normandy after touring the allied beeches and visiting the cemeteries and monuments. Your bunker diorama is awesome and very realistic to those found in France. Excellent video, throughly enjoyed it. 😍👍
-
As a military modeller since I was 12 (now almost 47), I must say, this is absolutely stunning work! Thx for the inspiration 😉 Greetings from Belgium.
-
The result is very convincing, and a great example of how the more layers you add, the better the final look is! 👏
-
I grew up in the South of England where there are numerous WWII bunkers just sitting abandoned, this looked absolutely realistic, especially in the final outdoors shots. I'm not a modeller, but watching your channel and others like it, I am always blown away by how you take foam, sand, paint, plaster and wood and turn it into something that could easily be part of a diorama in a museum or something. Wonderful work!
-
Fantastic detail. Scratches my WW2 history itch.
-
At first glance, this reminded me of Battery Spencer in San Francisco! Ahhhh.. used to go there with a couple of friends to watch the sunrise/sunset, and chill after our tests whatnot.. Love the video!! <3
-
I live around a lot of these ruins, cant say enough how well you did with the foliage. The painted grass is fantastic, but particularly adding lots of that long brown grass and those dead bushes really sell the piece.
-
Absolutely nailed it. These feel exactly like the forts on the Washington coast that I grew up visiting. I believe running around in these old forts as a kid probably led to aged concrete being one of my all-time favorite textures. Yours is maybe the best I've ever seen, I'll definitely be taking some of these tips into an upcoming Killteam board where I plan to use a lot of concrete textures.

Wow. This is going to improve my concrete 100%! Nice work and thanks for taking the time to share your talent and techniques.
