Today, I'm showing you how I build my 1/18 scale luxury mansion largely inspired from the house in the movie Home Alone. I didn't want to build the complete house they used in the movie because it would've been way to big for my outdoor diorama of 1/18 scale so I decided to build this mansion without the 2 extensions on each side and the giant 2 doors garage in the back. I started this project almost 3 years ago and it took me a whole lot of time to build that Luxury mansion mostly because of poor planning and other projects but today, it's done! I know it's not perfect but since my outdoor diorama is build like a movie set for photography and filming, it will work perfectly. Material that I used: 3/8" plywood Pop Cycle sticks 2mm Acrylic Cheap placemats from my local home staging store Regular indoor semi-gloss latex paint #diorama118 #dioramadiecast #diorama You should subscribe to my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@LIFE_in_118_SCALE Have you checked my Instagram page?

About This Video

In this video I’m finally wrapping up a project that’s been sitting on my bench (and in my head) for almost three years: a simple 1/18 scale luxury mansion, heavily inspired by the Home Alone house. I didn’t copy the full movie house because for my outdoor 1/18 setup it would’ve been way too big, so I scaled the idea down and skipped the two side extensions and the huge two-door garage in the back. The goal here is a mansion that looks right on camera and works with my backyard “movie set” style diorama for photos and filming. I walk you through the basic build approach and the materials I used to get it done without going crazy: 3/8" plywood for the main structure, popsicle sticks for detail work, 2mm acrylic for clean window areas, cheap placemats for texture, and regular indoor semi-gloss latex paint to tie it all together. I’ll be the first to say it’s not perfect—poor planning and other projects slowed me down—but it’s finished, it reads like a luxury house in 1/18 scale, and it’s going to do exactly what I need it to do in the diorama: look good in shots and give my cars a proper backdrop.
