Thanks for the like@@JPhatty
Love it
Let me know if you have a go at making one of these @@blackskimasklife9778
Looks fantastic!!😊
Thanks@@blackskimasklife9778 I appreciate the feedback 😁👍
Great looking piece!
Thanks @@JimboFettsToyTomb for taking the time to comment, people really seem to like this one. The great thing about it though, it’s really easy to make 👍
Just grabbed the JUMBO sized Demon Dragon figure for over $200, but was hoping to see what the SD crab model guy looked like. Think I'll pass on it after watching this video, but it is cute, at least in concept.
Awesome @@JinzoCrash 🙌 they ain’t cheap but it’s a great vintage figure imo. I love the box art on the SD kits but they really need painting to pull out all the details
Very useful video, thanks.
That’s good to hear@@dansmith.
I grew up having 2 magnaman figures, the blue robot and the brown gladiator. They were some of my favorite toys as a kid. They did end up releasing the line fully here in America. They had the first wave of 8 characters, 4 futuristic and 4 ancient. Then they released the dragon, pirate and robot characters in a final wave before being canceled. Atleast this is everything I've been able to find on the internet abou them
great Video, i make stop motion and use foam to built my sets. I like the idea of using the hot wire cutter to make the details instead of a pencil. Will need to try that next time.
Thanks for watching PMZTV. Love the stop motion technique, just checked out one of your videos, great work! If you are going to use the wire cutter for details, remember to cater in the spread you get as the foam melts so you won’t get really fine lines as you would with a pencil
Great idea and awesome result!!!
Thanks Giannis! Appreciate you taking the time to watch 👊
Nice, finished piece looks great! 👍
Thanks Endo- I was really pleased with this one and it’s so easy to make. Do you reckon you will have a go yourself?
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 I’ve dabbled making dios for my own collection for a few years now. I have a Scareglow shelf and plan to make a cave for them all. What you did here would be great for the interior of the cave. Definitely inspired thanks to your video! ☺️👍
That sounds awesome@@Endo-Skeleton yeah I think this would work brilliantly for a Scareglow shelf
Awesome work!
Thank you! Appreciate the support 😁
is there something you can use on top of it to give it a hard shell? and protect the foam? What kind of foam are you using?
Good question Michael. You can use Mod Podge over the top to create a hardened finish. The foam I use is high density foam or craft foam. It comes in either grey, blue or pink usually. Hope that helps 👍
i really loved the chill vibes in this video, honestly just put this on loop with some lofi in the background while i was crafting myself :)
That’s really kind of you to say so. I love watching people crafting too. Hope you’re own project is going well 😁
😪 "PromoSM"
Did the epoxy not quite glue the “tarmac” layer down very well? Any concern that these won’t stay glued down in the long run?
It definitely glued it, I didn’t mix enough to get a more even spread. If I had done that bit right I shouldn’t have had to do those touch ups. You don’t have to use epoxy either as long as the glue is suitable for styrofoam. I just like the gorilla epoxy as I can still work with it after 15-30 minutes.
Nice work, you made it look fairly easy. Definitely gonna try this out. Another great video as always! Cheers!
It is fairly easy 😁 let me know how you get on. Thanks for the support KoolAid 👍
Very nice work 👍
Thank you! Appreciate you watching 👍
Woohoo! Miss these videos. ✌🏾➕✊🏾
Thanks mate. I’ve got a few more lined up so hopefully I’ll get a make out each month
TH3 Project was sold at my local newsagent of all places in the mid eighties. I bought two sets (along with my neighbours) Attack 1 and Duke Thyron 4. The Duke is the coolest most seventies dude ever - and we loved it! As an adult I have picked it all up mint in box. So so cool.
I even discovered some in this toybox I opened up and searched through - ua-cam.com/video/KVclm8IaWtk/v-deo.htmlsi=2AhKDnRabY6nb1ZH
That’s awesome! Can’t believe you found them in your newsagents!!! I’m tempted to pick up more myself
Awesome video, thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate the feedback 👍
Il pollice è troppo grande,dovevi lucidare le sfere in acciaio😊
You’ll have to show me how to polish those steel balls Marcel 😁
Hi, I'm new to your channel but I've just watched a few videos and I'm really impressed. Especially with your Inktober work, fantastic stuff. You may have answered this several times but where do you pick up the foam you use? I fancy having a go at the sofa.😊 Thanks
Thanks for watching Del, appreciate you taking the time. You can pick up high density foam sometimes called carving foam from Amazon. It’s often blue in the US and grey in the UK. Let me know how you get on 👊
Thank you very much for getting back to me. I’ll take a look and hopefully get some ordered.👍🏻
Hey folks, here’s a few links relating to this video Brick Something and Bo (Morphonauts) ua-cam.com/users/liveOwm3xbJS-SM?si=rAun2XtoWqOK_EtR Brick Mantooth Magna Heroes ua-cam.com/video/TF0Y8NYZ0y4/v-deo.htmlsi=m8xXOuSeEaDQpVUz
NICE!! I've been preparing to do this for 3 days now lol! Things a jigsaw puzzle
It really is. It was quite difficult finding instruction videos on UA-cam too
⚡️⚡️GREAT STUFF⚡️⚡️I’m glad I found your channel I look forward to seeing more of your videos📺 I do mostly TRANSFORMER Stop Motion 🎬📸🎞️ I hope you enjoy my animation‼️ 21:54
Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it. Just checked out a couple of your vids. Love stop motion! You’ve got some crazy skills, people don’t realise how long it takes to create even a short animation. Well done 👏
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 Thank you & yes some ppl don’t have a clue 😅🤣 I definitely enjoy the process & I’m glad you enjoy the animation 🎬🎬🎬 Don’t be a stranger‼️
I’ll definitely be checking out more of your work @@OfficialTransformers
just finished watching all three parts, fantastic collection, and try not to feel bad about that little crack on the horses tail, i break stuff by accident all the time haha
Thanks for taking the time to watch Theo, really appreciate it! I’ve still got to finish the intro video, I’m not happy with it at the moment so I thought I’d put the others out first. Good to know I’m not the only one who breaks things 😁
Nice. I have all the Micronauts mangos, Star, Maximilian and some of the obscure Italian ones.
Wow! Very jealous. Still after an Emperor and Original Red Falcon, I have the palisades transparent red falcon which is cool though. I’d love to get hold of the Fantanauti figures also
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 my original Red Falcon is only partial but I used Palisades parts to complete it.
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 I 3D printed an extra back piece for Red Falcon that lets you pose the wings a bit too.
That’s the beauty with these figures@@RetroRobotRadio
Great idea @@RetroRobotRadio
Late congrats, Daz!!! Huge milestone!!! And damn…you’re getting a hold of some great stuff.✌🏾➕✊🏾
Thanks Brick! Although I’m not in it for the subs, it’s still encouraging to have people watching. Yeah this guy was a nice little find. A cool figure to mess around with
Yes! Back to the foam.
😂 had some time on my hands
Keep it coming when possible. I need the inspiration. I really want to do more with foam and soft goods in 2024. I like how you clearly tell the viewer where they should skip ahead in the video with sculpting based on their comfort. That’s a Teacher move!!! I see you. ✌🏾➕✊🏾
It is indeed, I like giving people options@@BrickSomething Thanks for watching. I’ve got a few more ideas in the pipeline 😁👊
@@BrickSomething PS - you definitely should do more, your rock background is excellent
Great VT Daz and good build.
Thanks for watching vaults! How did you get on with your own?
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 I did okay thanks. Built it on Boxing day. Pretty straightforward build, nothing too taxing. I think at some point I may put a dirt wash on it and some highlights here and there to bring it a little more in line with the on-screen version.
@@vaultsofiacon would love to see it with the wash when it’s done.
Yay! I love learning about things like this. Never hit my radar. Sadly the marionette shows in general were pretty niche here. Model kit looks great!
Happy New Year Brick! It’s an underrated gem. I’ve always been a fan of puppets. Loved all things Jim Henson as a kid but the marionette shows such as Thunderbirds never did anything for me. Starfleet however stood out. Think I’ve always been a sucker for giant robots 😄
Great collection there Daz, kinda reminds when I had a wider collection. Had Buffy, Babylon 5, Blues Bros, Elvira as well as Transformers. I have the odd few bits still but not to the same extent. Love the Transart Tarrantulus, a pity the Transmetal 2 Black arachnia couldn’t stand they gave her tiny little high heeled feet, the Beast machines version was a big improvement shame about the Cheetor. You know what, I haven’t touched any movie figures not even the new ones I just don’t like them aesthetically, the only later ones I have is the Bumblebee Prime and Starscream. I pick up the odd Legacy figure. Now if they released a combiner figure of Dai X that would be awesome, having seen a few Tobot and Power Ranger clone videos on UA-cam I am certain they could pull it off. I was looking for the Gatchaman God Phoenix kit earlier this year but for what it is eBay prices are a bit much. I did see new Elvira figures in Forbidden Planet but when I saw the prices compared to what I paid back in the day I won’t do it not even though they’re NECA. I’m not 100% but I think Blackarachnia was referred to as Airachnid in Prime and I like how they mixed the Animated origin of the character with the prime one using the spider element and insecticons element in a vampiric way. Currently attempting to rewatch Headmasters but it’s hard going it’s better with English subs as opposed to the dub which was atrocious but the way the Japanese characterise their humans and bots are odd to me, very chibby/childlike, find it annoying lol. Have a happy new year and I’ll catch you later 👍
Thanks for watching Matt. You’re right, it was Airachnid in Prime not Black Arachnia. I would definitely recommend the Dai X kit. I’ve got the Phoenix kit, also very good. There is an add on kit with lights for that one. Happy New Year to you too 👍
Can't fault the choices, excellent picks. Metamorpho is a fav of mine as well (I have the mattel DC classic click & connect / BAF)😎
A fellow Metamorpho fan! Very impressed! I actually don’t own the build a figure. Hoping McFarlane toys will do a new version as they are releasing more obscure characters recently. Thanks for watching Lowbot, appreciate it 👍
Exquisite picks, sir!
Thanks Psycholak. What was your pick of the year?
My goodness, do it outside or with proper ventillation. Don't breath in the plastic fumes.
Thanks for the concern Robert. I do tend to wear a ventilation mask now or cut the foam in a well ventilated area
Oh shoot! I’ve missed a couple of videos! Nice. Got some catching up to do. Especially excited for the Inktober video. The sculpts on these MM’s are pretty amazing. I was never into Mighty Max though, so I didn’t notice all the details on them. Amazing. Hope all’s well on your end! ✌🏾➕✊🏾
Thanks for taking the time man, you know I always appreciate it. Hope all is well with you and the family too 👊
The Japanese repros are quite hard to tell I have some original microman hoodman and the only real tell from the repro to original is by the plastic cases they come with
Unfortunately I don’t own an original Jeeg but from pics I can’t see a difference. I think the packaging is different though.
Hi man what would you say are the differences between the 1970s toy and the reproduction how would you tell?
The only way to identify is from the base of the feet. I think the original has the old Takara logo ‘Dakko Chan’ stamped on it
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 yes I think your correct thanks best wishes
@@notyourbizzsham4343 the date stamp might be on the back of the figure rather than the feet but the early packaging definitely has the old logo
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 I think your correct on it being on the right under foot it has the old takara octopus head or what ever its supposed to be lol thanks man
@@notyourbizzsham4343 no problem 👍
Primer like y primer comentario, excelente video.... saludos desde Ecuador
Appreciate you being the first to like and comment and all the way from Ecuador! Wow! Thanks for watching 👍
Nice video Daz! Great to see more of these, although I still really like the fly one best. That Triceratops looks neat too! These strips are brilliant for collectors. I use them for hanging my Monsterarts figures that either didn't come with a flight stand or who just look better hanging down. Like you said, they take a lot of weight so I'm not worried about them falling and breaking. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching Ex Inferis. Yeah those command strips really are useful, it will be interesting to see where else I can use them. With the mighty max, I think the fly is my favourite too 😁
Excelente video.... (primer comentario y primer like)..... Saludos desde Ecuador =)
Thanks Kacherdblade. Really appreciate the feedback. Hope you can make use of these command strips yourself 👍
Hello. Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. What kind of material do you use? Is that Styropor or something different?
Thanks for watching. It’s just craft styrofoam
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 Ah, okay. Thanks a lot for the fast answer.
No problem. The styrofoam in the uk is grey whereas in the US it’s blue, if that’s of any help
@@dazatronsdioramallama6370 👍
What kind of foam do you use exactly? I live in the US and have never seen what you are using.
Hi Santana, in the US it’s called XPS foam or Blueboard is the common version which as the name suggests is the colour blue rather than the grey material I use.
Buen trabajo 👍 Saludos desde Monterrey México.
Gracias Bruno. Thank you for watching 👍
think you were talking about this one.. ill check it out now
And yes very awesome.. I'm getting a big shelving delivered soon and will be doing stuff like this.. will be coming here for ideas
Yeah this is the one
Would love to see some photos when you’re done. You can always message me on Insta - just search for Dazatron’s diorama llama

I mean, you already know what I’m gonna say about both Blade Master Weng and Sun Wukong. 🤯 And the mountain dio is fantastic. Great paint job.
Ha ha, they are awesome figures! Thanks for watching. I enjoyed making these 😄
Absolutely love this one Daz. So simple and yet so effective. I also love those classical painting that you used as inspiration!
Thanks RR. Nice to finally get another tutorial out there 😂 I’m pleased with how they turned out
Great review Daz always love your videos always so interesting! Gutted for you regarding the burglary but so happy to see you still making wonderful content and still producing fantastic artworks!
