- I hope you guys have a fantastic Thanksgiving week! I will be spending time with my family but I wanted to make sure to still share something with you. I built this Trojan Horse last summer and never got to share. I hope you enjoy it! Also I am using a new microphone so my voice sounds weird to me... what do you guys think?
Trojan Horse Documentary: Sorry, I looked for the one I watched and I can't find it now. But there are plenty of other videos out there if you want to do your own research ;)

I really love him, he looks exactly as I would picture the Trojan horse. And I love the shields, that's a really nice authenticity touch!
Thank you so much!💕
Omigosh! Yor miniatures are so incredible. How could you NOT win with this. This is incredible!
Oh my gosh...this is fabulous....awesome job...can't see why you didn't win...tfs
Thank you! You never know what the judges are looking for🤔😊
I will probably never make this but I watch every video you drop bc I love your personality and you're so entertaining. I can also use lots of the info and techniques for other projects even if I don't perfectly replicate every project you show. Thank you Ara!
Thank you so much for watching! That means a lot to me!
A little help but how do you get the starting base I was gonna use this for a mythology project but I’m having trouble creating a base like yours.
The base is made from foam board that I just covered with wood sticks. The wheels are fake and just have blocks behind them to help it stand up. I hope that helps!
Hi ,if you don't mind explaining how you stuffed and tapped it at the start I was thinking about using this idea for my classical studies project, thank you .
I really like these contest videos you do! Well done!
Thank you! I need to do more!
Finally, a miniature I can finally use.
Your video is so cool! I'm working on a hollow sculpture too and struggling so long to figure out how to make a door. Your video helped a lot :)
Your imagination is beyond imagination!
First - the subject! Who'da thunk of a Trojan horse?
Second - the concept! Who'da thunk of using actual "planks" of wood?
Third - the execution! Who'da thunk of making a "base model" first instead of trying to just build it out of craft sticks as a stand alone?
Fourth - my admiration! Who'da thunk I'd become addicted to watching your creative process and the end results?
Lol thank you George! Who'da thunk your comment would make me smile so much!!😊
Awesome!! I love this horse. what a great and creative idea!
Thank you 😊 And good guess on the community tab!!
That's fantastic n I love how you green screened him into the movie scene 😀
which movie?
You are so amazing. This is AWESOME!! The ending is hilarious.
Lol thanks!
This is genius. Why am I not surprised?🥰😍
You crack me up! The last part was great! Love your creativity!
lol thanks so much 😁😊
Did you buy any of these materials online? If you did, please give me the links!! I have a project on this horse
Hi Ellie! They are just craft sticks you can purchase at any craft store (even walmart has some). Best of luck on your project!
Yes
What Merrill’s or paddle pop sticks did you use and what wood for stand I’m keen to make this
I can not believe this did not win!!!! Its fabulous! !!
Thank you Sarah💕... Oh well lol!
Wow it turned out fantastic! The details with rope are really nice. Good thing smores weren't a thing back then, the soldiers probably wouldn't resist.
They were missing out! S'mores are delicious! Thanks Dani😊
What did you use for the cord? The wheels and the shields?
I'm trying to follow the best I can, can you make a updated version please😊 like how did you do the frame and and did you do the stuffing?
How long did this take you to make?
you did not explain 1st part how did you make that horse structure
Hi, today enter the horse in the agora of Troy. Saludos.
Great video to watch and learn how to make your very own trojan horse! A wooden horse that ended 10 long years of war and its history is so famous now. I wonder what happened to the trojan horse after that war?
Thanks for video!
Wow beautiful
How did you stuff the horse? There's nothing holding the tissue and paper towels to the mat board. I've constructed mine, but having a difficult time.
I might have used a few dabs of hot glue to hold the paper towels onto the form while I wrapped the whole thing in masking tape. The masking tape will hold it all together in the end. And you can do multiple layers of the tape until the shape is just right (adding bits of paper towel in between). I hope that helps!
I loved the trojan horse and especially the end
Thank you so much!! I can't help but adding a bit of silliness ;)
How did they make a trojan horse when its so giant did they have a ladder and how much years did they make it?
Very cool and very creative. This would be a great gift for a. An
Thanks Victoria! 😁
I like it. So what did the winner make? I think yours is very cool.
Very good building
v clever indeed. hope you enjoyed spending time with your family. :)
Thank you Joanne. Yes we had a great day!💕
What were the measurements you used for the horse body?😮
Neigh, the little scene at the end was neat.
lol thanks Gail I am glad you like it!
That hoorse is beautiful ............ To me you won that contest !! wOw
Thank you💖💖
Amazing!!!! What a beautiful work!
Thank you Mariza 😁
This is amazing!!! have you got any idea on how many coffee/tea sticks you need. I just wanted to try it out because it looked incredible.
I think I had one bag of each size stick... so one bag of regular craft sticks, one with the elongated skinny sticks (possibly 2 of these depending on the size bag you get) and one of the large tonge depressors I used near the bottom. This will at least get you started ;) Thank you for the kind words!
Bentley House Minis what brands did you use
I also live him
Clever and pretty result!
Thank you💕
Wow that looks brilliant!
Thank you so much! And thanks for visiting my channel I am still enjoying going through your videos :)
What what . Its fabulous how come u didn't win .. unibeliviable
How did you stuff it with tissue paper and mask it with masking tape without the tissue paper falling out before you put the masking tape on?
I would add the tissue paper and then use little bits of tape until I get it in the right spot... and then I would take a long strip of tape and go ever the whole thing once I like the shape. It's a fiddly process. You can also use hot glue to hold the pieces on before you tape.
How long do s it have to dry?
Wow amazing project
Thanks Ilene! 💕
This is Awesome!
Looks fantastic. 😊👍
Thanks so much Karin!
Now that was a labor of love!
It definitely was labor lol... The love came after it was all done ;)
This is awesome. Where do you find contests to enter?
Thank you Edwina! There are a few places you can find them.... some dollhouse FB groups run them, both Greenleaf and Real Good Toys (both dollhouse companies) run them every year I believe, and if you can find a local group often times they run contests as well. I used to be a part of an online miniatures forum (its no longer active) that ran contests all the time and I grew so much participating in those! Maybe if I see them I can start posting them on my FB page :)
Do you think this could be done in a week for a school project?
It took me a couple weeks at least. There were lots of drying times. Maybe if you used larger sticks or paper instead of sticks so they don't have to be soaked... you might be able to speed up the process.
Very good!
what kind of craft socks are you using??
They are all different size pine craft sticks from the craft store and dollar store.
Wow! Very impressive!!
Thank you Catherine!
Fantastic! I love it!
Thank you💕
how did you make the base for it?
Very nice wonderfully done! 🙌Excellent tutorial!!🙌⛄XO🌲XO🎅XO🎄XO🎁XO❄
Thank you so much Lala!! 💕😊🌷
They think it had weeks making it faster for them to carry it in and I don't think they just wanted to get in I think they wanted to start something like ki!! The people there
I wish he was real lol
This is amazing!!!!
Did you record the ending conversation by yourself or did your better half help out?
Nope that was all me and an audio morphing program lol
That is AMAZING I wish I had the stuff for it so I could make it😞💘🐎
Thank you so much. In a response to a previous comment on this video I wrote out the supply list if you ever plan to give it a go ;)
Would a hairdryer speed up the process of drying the wood
I had a fan in the room and it definitely did ;)
I love him
LOVE IT WOW
How the hell did you not place? This is amazing!
You never know what the judges are looking for?? Oh well :) Thanks so much!
Well Done ! :)
Thank you Martha!
You never said anything about masking tape and etc you just said craft sticks
I missed this weeks upload 🙄☺️ we went on a RoadTriip across four states check out our short video
Thanks for sharing that with me! Looks like you guys had so much fun!
How long did this take to build
A couple weeks I think👍 It was a while ago.
wow
Is it possible to finish this within 2 weeks?
Yes if you stay on top of it and have any wet wood layers dry in front of a fan. If you wait for them to dry naturally it will take longer. Once you get to the parts of the horse that have straight sticks you can use hot glue and then it speeds up even more.
@@BentleyHouseMinis ok thanks for the advice
@@BentleyHouseMinis ok thanks for the advice
Haha imagine not placing 💀💀💀
Great build!
Was the tail just a mass of cord hot glued onto the back?
Thank you! Yes that is exactly how I made it ;)
smores anyone
ppl here bc school
troy didn't have a top for theirgates
Thanks for the input. I couldn't find many proven facts about Troy.
Why do you have this awful music under the video? I can't hear you!
