Making a Book Nook Diorama of an Abandoned Mental Hospital
Вставка

- In this video I walk through how I made this book nook diorama of an abandoned mental hospital patient ward. Stay tuned to the end to see the finished diorama!
This is the first book nook I’ve made and it was a little different from my other dioramas. I decided to wire in a led light with a battery to shine through the window and illuminate the hallway. Usually I leave room to add my own lighting for when I film and photograph my finished pieces but I really wanted it to be an all-in-one product.

This is the most intense, creepy book nook video I've ever seen. Tremendous.
Haha thanks, that’s great feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love miniatures depicting urban decay, and this is a stunning example! Subbed so I can see more! :D
Awesome! Glad you found the channel, thank you!
Retired mental health nurse here, we have many abandoned buildings on our grounds & this is a true representation reminding me of all those lost souls I cared for.
I’m also a lover of book books so of course I subscribed! ♥️
Amazing talent!
I’m so glad to hear that! I was a big part in making a short documentary film about an abandoned mental hospital, and now with these dioramas, I really want to convey some of that history. Appreciate your kind words and glad to have you!
Beautiful work! I stumbled upon your channel today and I'm loving the content. You have combined two of my favorite things... urban exploring and model making.
Welcome! Glad you found me and that you’re enjoying it. I appreciate the kind words, thank you!!
very intriguing, and beautifully detailed.👍👍👍
I would love to see your take on a haunted location. My first thought was like a skeleton underneath the floorboards
Great build and I loved the techniques! Esp using the liquid latex to make it look like the paint was peeling👍
Thanks so much! Appreciate you sharing your techniques as well!
Absolutely stunning! Amazing attention to detail and I've learned so much. Thank you.
Glad to hear it! I hope you enjoy my future videos.
Wonderfull painting of the door. I love the rust and the blue color. I painted with another technique a few years ago, but yours is really beautiful! Congratulations. Big hug from Brazil.
Amazing!! I grew up doing dioramas for warhammer 40,000 and fantasy. This has renewed that spark. Looking forward to making a book nook diorama
God bless and always guide you brother. Very beautiful.
I used to do abandoned photography for years.. would love to get back into it. butttt I was curious if you sell your booknooks? so amazing. SO glad i came across your channel. truly awesome!
Hey! Send me an email at abandonedminiatures@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram and we can talk about the book nooks!
I’m not just a subscriber. I’m a real fan! Have you had your art exhibited in any form of museum other than UA-cam? It is so deserving!❤
I just had an exhibit in the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures in Tuscon Arizona!
This is awesome man! Back in my early 20s I used to explore abandoned mental institutions all the time. This a great idea for a booknook and you nailed it!
Thank you! Glad you liked it, I haven’t explored lately either but I hope making these dioramas recreate it a little bit.
Wow. How do you not have more subs, likes ect? This is amazing. I love it. 🖤
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
I love what you do and I have used foam core to make a stressed concrete wall for my model railway and to mount brick paper to.
The problem I have had is warping caused by I believe the moisture in the glue.
How do you deal with warping?
Many thanks
I haven’t had a problem with warping, but I generally glue it down to a solid piece of MDF board. I also leave the paper on one side of the foam core.
Great build but the rust effect is just awesome =)
Thanks so much! I love doing rust effects.
Amazing work and then saw the Ayn Rand books and subscribed.
Thank you!
Nicely executed once again! This reminds me of my visit to Ellis Island. If you haven't already, take a look at some of the photos of the main building. They have a sanitarium there with some very vintage plumbing fixtures there that are one of a kind creep level 12. Check it out!
No words... 🤍🤍🤍 such a great work
New Subscriber
Thank you! Glad to have you!!
Wow! New subscriber! Those doors-the rust is outstanding. Thank you!
Awesome, glad to have you! I appreciate it!
You do such incredible work. I just found your channel and binge watching all your videos.
So glad you’re here!
Looks really spooky, it would sit nicely in the horror section of books.
Have you tried saving some of the grout material for future use by scraping it off into a container? You appeared to wipe off about 98% of what you put on.
Haha yeah, I was worried that I would ruin the foam surface texture because it is pretty soft, but in my next project I was able to carefully scrape a lot more off and save it. I thought the same thing as you when I watched back the footage of me making it 😆
i would ve bent one of the doors as an escape... to show more from the inside!
Excellent work, great talent to represent these types of places so faithfully....I love it!!! Thanks for showing how you do it.👋
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing. Very Nice . 🇧🇷👍👍 @mendesalexmendes
Thank you!
Sorry for the additional comment but I cant get it to add on to the original. The foam board, I have only used it a couple of times so when you mark the brick pattern into it, I take it you peel off the paper covering on one side? sorry for being so ignorant of something it seems everyone knows about but me!
Yes, sorry! Usually at least one side is easy to peel the paper off. I leave the other side on to help with support as the foam is pretty thin.
This is incredible...earned you a sub and a like mate!
Thank you, so glad to have you here!
Wow, very well done. Love it. Can you tell me what those silver weight things with holes in them are and maybe where I can purchase them. You used them to hold the walls up. Thank you.
They are called 123 blocks and you can get them on Amazon!
I loved the overall feel of the video, especially the atmospheric music feel. Incredible talent all the way around.
Thanks so much! So glad you like it!
It looks so real, it wouldn't be a wonder if sometimes little ghosts appears inside👻🥴😵👻
Haha thank you!
What software do you use to model the different parts you make for 3D printing?
I use Shapr3D on my iPad. It is a really great app to get into modeling!
Fantastic work , very decayed and creepy . I was going to make a Session 9 diorama , went searching for a way to make the wheelchair and found your video . You nailed the tone of the movie and poster perfectly . Off to look at your earlier videos .
Thank you! Glad you found my channel. I did not notice how similar it was to Session 9’s poster haha.
@@AbandonedMiniatures
YES!! I was going to suggest, with your amazing skills, a "Session 9" (the film) build. Then I saw this book nook= Incredible. But would love to see a full size build! The film was shot entirely in an actual abandoned Asylum. You should check out "Session 9".

Production took place on location at the Danvers State Mental Hospital in Danvers, Massachusetts.

So much insanity. Awesome work as always. So glad I found you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Question ❓❓❓
Where's the patient?
This is AWESOME!!! Wooooow!!! Congratulations!!!
Thank you!! Glad you liked it.
I had no idea what these were called, I've been trying to find a lovecraft one.....hopefully now I'll have more luck knowing what they are called. Thank you!
I had to subscribe to see what's next. Awesome work 😊
Thanks so much! Glad to have you!
This is awesome man... now I hate having only ebooks...
Haha thanks! Books do take up a lot of space though.
작품은 너무 아름다운데 편집이 너무 아쉽습니다. 편집이 포인트를 잘못잡아 내는것 같아 매우 아쉽다.
Badass as always. What would've been sick with this project was if you printed a human or a creature figure and glued them just around the bend. So when the light was on or strobing it'd give the silhouette of the model. I have a very artistic background, so many ideas come to mind of scenes and whatnot. And the experience of paints and airbrushing. But I really have no idea where to begin making art remotely like this
I love your work, specialy before sleep, its so calm
And, you know you look like christian bale? 😁
Thanks! Haha yes I have been told that a few times.
Nice one, different and interesting. Thanks.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
you are making the most uncanny Dioramas out there! The level of detail let me forget that it's only a miniature and not a real live sized object
So glad they are having that effect!
Do you sell your completed miniatures? They're amazing! 🖤
It feels like I should have paid to watch this you're work is just insane from the dust and sand to the amount of detail to the rust and walls it takes some really hard thinking to do this kinda stuff and I applaud you for it
"The town of light" (Volterra asylum) - absolutly great work!
The jarring/unsettling music fit the vibe but made watching this a lot less enjoyable for me.
Great video, you got a sub from me :)
Thank you! Glad to have you!
This was so dope. I might also need to invest in a 3D printer the gates and the wheelchair look so good. Everything did really. You are very talented.
Thank you! My 3D printer has come in handy a lot.
fantastic job! Just joined today!
Awesome! Thanks so much, glad you’re here!
Stippling isn't the correct term for what you're doing. Blotting would be closer to it. Stippling is a drawing technique involving clusters of tiny dots that create a smooth transition of shading, generally done with a felt tip pen.
Thanks for the input! I have not studied art academically, but though it is also a drawing technique, the term is commonly found when talking about painting techniques and with a sponge, sometimes called spongeing.
The first definition I found for “stippling” after a quick google defined it as a process of drawing, painting, or engraving using small dots or specks.
Yeah, I know that people have used it to describe that, but that's more venturing towards pointilism. The two are often confused and used interchangeably even though they are different. This video had just popped up in my recommended, and I can honestly say I'm a fan of your work.
Well thank you! I’m so glad you found me, I appreciate that! Maybe I could use the word “dabbing” in the future haha 😆
How do you keep the dust you add from shifting around after it is finished? Wouldnt air movement in the room disturb the sediment, or if someone dusted the shelving etc.?
What fluid is it that you sprinkle on the sand? Love your work 👏👏👏
Awesome + darkest vibe, cool. did you consider lying the chair on its side?
Amazing!
Thanks!
Dude!!!!! That is wicked cool
Thank you!!
You're talent personified, man! Wow!
Where can i get the 3d files for the wheelchair.
Thank you
Oh wow! Creepy and awesome!
Thank you!
Omg !!!!! Amazing. Good job!!!!!
Thanks so much!
you do some amazing work.
Thanks!
underrated channel ...Love the builds!
Memorable _easter egg_ for those thumbing through your home library
This was my favorite. No wait, I say that to myself after each one. lol . Love it!
Haha thank you!
Absolutely brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Do you create models for movies? If not, you should
Extremely well done! Has a lot of atmosphere. Sandwiching it between Poe and Stephen King, brilliant! You've just gained a subscriber.
Really appreciate that! Happy to have you!
Where did you find that wire mesh you used on the doors? I'm looking for something that scale for a silent hill diorama I'm working on. btw, amazing job!
That’s awesome! My new project that I will post next week is actually a Silent Hill diorama. Here is the one I used, it is pretty strong though so be ready to use a dremel or heavy duty snips to cut it:

why does this guy look so freaking familiar
I’m hoping you’ve approached a few galleries to show your pieces(?) They’re truly impressive!
Not yet! Thanks!
Do you use the same scale for each diorama? A few of them look to be around 1/18 scale. Brilliant and informative. Keep them coming.
Usually around there, I’ve been doing some 1:12 lately too.
That was the Creepiest modeling tutorial I've ever seen... Quality!😁👍👍👍
Thanks!! I must have done something correct then 😆
Keep it up brother 😘😍😁
Thanks!
This looks so good!
Thank you!
Love this! TY 😊
Thank you!
Love your voice 😍 and I love this channel
You popped up in my recommendations today and I couldn't have been happier. By the time you got to the rust effect I was already subscribed. I love this take on the book nook, thank you !
Awesome! Thanks so much, glad to have you!
You're the best.
Haha thank you!
Awesome work, is the wheel chair file available anywhere?
Not yet, but I plan to have some of my 3D models available at some point in the future.
@@AbandonedMiniatures cool, you do some awesome work
Thank you!
Great work, you're a foamboard master haha.
Outstanding work! what are u putting on the grout for the dust and dirt? thin glue, color?
Thank you! I put diluted rubbing alcohol first and then watered down glue, it helps the glue flow into everything. Once it’s all dried I use pastels that I grind up to add colors for dirt.
@@AbandonedMiniatures Thank you! I never would have know to use the alcohol first! I learned so much from your videos. I love to make weathered old looking storefronts, houses etc. and I saw you use the sculpt a mold stuff liquid latex,
you put it on and then rubbed it off or was it to unsmooth it to make it rough looking? Also any idea for making dust like in corners of windows?
That’s awesome! When I use the liquid latex it’s for a paint peeling effect. I put it on, and then paint over it, and when the paint dries I can rub it off in the areas where the latex was so it looks like old peeled paint.
I do some different weathering and aging effects on windows in a couple of my other videos, usually use ground pastels for that too.
@@AbandonedMiniatures I gotta try that liquid latex! Thanks! When I started doing my storefront I took a mini gold shiny doorknob and plate and painted it rust colored. I then heated it up to dry the paint faster but I heated it too much and actually it took on the appearance of rust, it bubbled, burned a little and looks so real, all by mistake! Thanks for your great videos, I look forward to more!
Just subscribed you are very talented
The final effect is awesome, with people chattering and the light and the height of the video camera, every thing's perfect. Bravo !
I appreciate that!
OUTLAST scene please 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Wow so glad I found your channel! This scene is awesome! I'd hate to be sitting in that wheelchair when that iron door closed in on me! So realistic!
The real place gave me that feeling. Thank you!
Love it!
Thanks!
wow
Amazing
Thanks!
Amazing
Thanks!
Phenomenal build 👍🏾
Wow x
Thanks!
Where's Oscar Levant?
So good!! I love all of it!
Would you be willing to print and sell the wheelchair ?
Thank you, glad you’re enjoying it! I may do something like that in the future, but I’m still somewhat new to 3D modeling and the wheelchair model is not something I feel comfortable with selling just yet. I just don’t think it’s up to that standard of quality. I appreciate your interest though, hopefully in the future I can be of more help!
Your work is absolutely stunning! I love it. Is it available for purchase?
This is a work of art!!!
I appreciate that!!
Im in awe of your rusty door
Very creepy. I love it 👍🏼
Really fantastic 😮
This is the most mesmerizing book nook diy I have seen! Wow!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
