Tragic Story - Myuu
As a Swede who grew up in Stockholm and been to the Wasa museum countless times it was pretty unexpected but fun to hear you talk about it and fun to see how great the project turned out.
It’s a very beautiful and impressive ship. It’s extremely well preserved with more or less all of the sculptures and art pieces still intact and the ship is super big in person.
And I recommend other viewers to read a little about it, and if you ever get the chance to go see it. The tours are loads of fun and very good.
No military history involved. Just a pretty hilarious story of what was supposed to be the kings crown ship and pride in the navy be a utter failure.
Sinking on it’s maiden voyage right in front of the crowd of thousands of people with foreign diplomats among them, while trying to making it out of harbour. It sank to the bottom of the ocean right in Stockholm in front of everyone and stayed there for 333 years.
It’s pretty fun the read about how overconfidence, pride and a need to please the court lead to the huge design flaws.
But also about all the craftsmanship, work and stories about the people who built the ship and was crew aboard the ship. A lot of people’s personal belongings and other details were found on the ship.
And you know public humiliation of a monarch is pretty funny no matter when it happens on the timeline, and Sweden had a pretty strong and powerful navy at that time, so reading about how their smugness sort of came to bite them in in the ass with a very very very expensive mistake is pretty satisfying.
Omg that’s hilarious. Thank you so much for the story! Here I thought it was so noble and regal 😂. They were so embarrassed that they just left it down there over 300 years!!! Wow. History is amazing.
Thank you and I am so glad you enjoyed the build! And thank you for sharing some of the history here... when I was reading about it I thought it was incredibly interesting too!
Now I too long to go and see this magnificent ship at the Wasa Museum!❤
For someone who keeps saying I'm not a professional, you sure make everything look so professional. Great job.
You are too nice. Lol I have a no evidence policy. If I get candy or go out to eat without the kids, I bring home no evidence. Now if they ever get smart and check the neighbors trash can......
😂😂😂
Love these little ships! Great job!
What you are calling the "Flying Jib" (the piece of wood that you attach the mainsail) is called the Boom.
The forward sail (the one you attached to the string) is the flying jib.
Keep up the great work! Have a better day!
Boom is just as fun to say as 'flying' jib! Thank you Sean!!
@@BentleyHouseMinis And the 'fin' is called the keel. 🥰
I have literally just discovered your channel and I am honestly in love! I know this is somewhere I can escape to during this weird time and it brings me so much joy to see you creating!
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! I am so glad you are enjoying our mini oasis ;)
The piece on the bottom of the ship, it's spine is called the keel. And you seemed to ad enough paper for the rudder. Just so the captain isn't upset with you😉. Looks great.
Oh thanks for the info... I kept calling it a 'fin', and I did look up a term sheet but no one labeled what it was called. Thanks for letting me know!
Model building is always running down to compromises. Especially on the tiny scapegoat are working on. Simply awesome!!!
Bless you, was about to comment about the keel being called a fin ^^
Hope keel-hauling isn’t a thing if the captain got upset :P lol
@@Sketchkat I kept muttering the correct terms as I watched, but I don't think it affects the awesomeness of the mini. XD
Since I know nothing about ships.....the Vasa looks perfect!! Your eye for minute detail is impressive Ara! Thank you for showing us your journey!
Thank you😊 I am learning a little bit about ships as I go... they are so fascinating!
It's very fascinating watching how you create this cute tiny ship, I cannot make anything tiny even in a drawing. LOL
I really like how you made it
Thank you very much!
Your miniature of The Vasa looks amazing. I'm from Sweden and visited the Vasa museum when I was young. Their guided tour was great.
Agree on all parts!!!
Although I'm so old so we can assume they've changed staff since then. And I really should se the "new" museum building they've made (in 1990)
I've been there a couple of times, years ago, but I think I never got to go to the "new" museum ... I try to recall what the windows or portholes look like, I only remember the sculptures, and that they originally were lots of gold and color.
Thank you so much! It has given me a lot of joy to see happy responses from my Swedish subscribers!😊😊 I wanted to make sure to do it justice :)
If you want to continue the book collaboration further, you could do library room or a treasure room project with walls covered in just bookshelves and floors filled with bookstacks and other stuff you receive. Could be very pretty looking :)
Very true... If any books come in from now on they will definitely still be added to the lower level ;)
@@BentleyHouseMinis I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, and I really wanted to send in a book. I'm a former Dallasite now living in Tokyo, so I thought something Japan-related would be a cool addition. Hope to see more updates on this project soon!
Always bubble wrap your smalls so they don’t get lost.
I have loved those old sailing ships ever since I was 4 years old and my dad made sailing boats from balsa wood and thread rigging when he was a boy and he showed me the ones he made. Plus dad was in the Navy from age 17 to 21 during WWII so I wore dresses in everything navy with sailor collars and braid growing up. I had more navy coats and dresses than you could ever imagine. I never got to wear any other color other the blue. So I just love your captains quarters and your model boats. You do such wonderful work.
What awesome memories! I am so glad you enjoyed the ships!💖
*Dies of cuteness overload* These are so adorable! You did an awesome job.
I love balsa wood, easy to cut and fairly easy to texture. I use one of those nail buffing sanding thingys for sanding it, i find it easier than sandpaper.
Thank you Carrie! I definitely need to invest in some of those... the sand paper is too bulky for these little things ;)
And congratulations! You passed 50.000 🥳
Both the boats are remarkable Ara! Honestly, you have such ingenuity and an eye for detail. The three- master is stunning!
Lovely, Ara! The "flying jib", however, is incorrect (but, I loved the reference). The toothpick at the bottom (horizontal) would be the boom...and the sail would be the mains'l. Jibs are in the front and attach to the forestay.
Lol! I just felt like I wanted to call everything a 'flying jib' because it's just fun to say! Thank you for the correct terms though... I am enjoying learning!
Would love to see you make something like a viking longship. Great video!
Thank you! That would be fun!😮😊
So inspiring! Or the warping issue with the paper strips. Can I suggest cutting it on a curve? I had the same issue on making a collar on doll clothes🤓 I hope it helps.
Love the miniature ships and books. Makes me want to try to build a mini ship.
ARA!!! What an exceptional job! The crazy amount of detail you always manage to put into your builds just keeps me watching with my jaw dropped. Thanks again for sharing! The book I sent was my first book miniature as well. You have taught me (all of us) so much! I look forward to every post you add to your channel.
That's always so special to hear I have someone's first mini!😊 I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
I found this channel at the end of the addams build and now I'm obsessed.
Thank you and welcome!😊
Ayra. you have over 51K subs. I love your work and the way you closed off the Addams Family project brought me to tears. I haven' made any mini's yet because I am newly unemployed and trying to stay sane with crafting. Having watched you (from South Africa - East London) for the past 7 months (subscribing from my very very first time), I know that you have another job outside of miniatures. My question is, do you make money from your passion? I'm only asking because I believe that - with your talent - you should be rolling in it! Love you!
Thank you for your kind words Celest and for watching💖 I do get paid for the videos that I make (from YT adsense) and I have a shop where I sell miniature kits. I also have Patreon that brings in money each month. It's not a full time living yet but it's growing!😊 Thank you!
@@BentleyHouseMinis You deserve every penny! Thank you for sharing your craft with us.
They are both ship shape. Brilliant job.
You could get that pencil shape by taking a piece of wooden dowel the same diameter as a pencil and putting it into a pencil sharpener to make the end pointy!
I always look forward to your YT videos and progress updates and am never disappointed. I consider myself a ‘Looky Loo’ because I do not do miniatures. I am fascinated by your creativity and appreciate your talking through your decision making process; willing to share the not so perfect with the successes. Thank you so much for just being yourself and keep on with your miniature adventures.
Thank you so much Sue!
Everything's so little and cute and life like!
Your ships turned out great! Lots of tender loving care went into those! The whole project is spectacular! You should be so proud of all your accomplishments in miniatures! You are such an inspiration to all of us!
I second that. I came here looking for how to make stuff in miniature for a Christmas project and stayed for the sheer pleasure of your videos. Good luck to you and God bless. 😊💐
Thank you both!! Your words are such an encouragement to me today!💖
As I mentioned before you have a unanimous vote for best talent. I know only one thing about ships...they are cool lol. Beautiful work Ara!
I love watching you design and build your miniatures. I am so glad that I found you.
Thank you! I am glad you're here😊
I love how your mind works! So much creativity. They are both great!
You should try making one of those loft beds with desks underneath!
I would love to see you make a tiny book out of Vanessa’s card.
I haven't seen her comment yet but I definitely will unless she says otherwise ;)
I so enjoy your videos. Your talent is amazing. Thank you.
i'm not sure how you'd do it at this scale but a ship in a bottle would be super cool :0
There's a guy that has a channel here on YT that makes(and puts) a tiny pirate ship into a bottle ..I am amazed and inspired ..they put the Pine cone birds I make to shame! And there's another lady who makes a tabletop sized model ship out of cardboard that SO detailed.! And another man from India who can build a Gazebo out of toothpicks glue and paper in miniature that will blow your mind! ..So many reasons why I love the people of UA-cam!
The ships came out so cool, and fits perfect to the captains quarters! Oh and congratulations with the 50K. Man you flew right pass me
Thank you Daniela! 😊
The Vasa looked AMAZING, Ara! Better than the ships you bought :)
Great video! I'm so glad you liked the gifts from the Cubed Collective. :D Also the cake pop moment made me laugh out loud. My partner and I had to pause the video several times to just admire the ships as you made them. That was amazing to watch and I have to imagine it took forever for all of the glue to dry. We're both super impressed!
Thank you again for sending all the goodies! I am so excited to get the Hot Air Balloon in place up on the shelves💖 I have loved it ever since you showed me you were making it and then I felt blessed to receive it in the mail!!
With your experience on this, you can do a ship in a bottle.
Wait, what about a mini ship, in a mini bottle? For the captains quarters.
OMG! What a fantastic job! My own miniatures often push me to my limits, but what you've achieved here, I would never have achieved! Congratulations, too, on the wonderful gifts for this project. I'm excited! Thank you for the great inspirations. ❤👍 LG vom Tinchen
I'm a recent subscriber to your channel, and I'm now obsessed lol. I'm inspired and burning with creative energy, I just wanna make everything! 😄 I'm wondering what you and other miniature creators do with everything you make? Although I'm itching to create, I have no desire to keep anything, definitely not long term anyway. Amazing job on everything btw, I really love your channel so far 🤩
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel!! I do keep some of my projects and some of them I give away as gifts. I know a lot of miniaturists that just create to give things away... that may be something that inspires you! Mini gifts are the best ones in my opinion anyway... they can definitely be customized for the receiver!
@@BentleyHouseMinis Thank you! Sounds great to me, I look forward to creating lots of mini gifts 🙂
Hi Ara! I'm So so sorry my magic book didn't make it. Man have I learned A Lot from that 1st mini, goodness me! How to make an actual book, how to make it mini, how to protect minis when sending, and to send it right the 1st time. I would love for you to make a book from the card, thank you so much for offering that means the world to me. The fact that you would do that just shows how wonderful you truly are. Thanks so much💙💜🖤💖 the ships look Amazing btw, great job
No problem! I will be so happy to do that and I will make sure to add it in my next video so you can see how it turned out! I am so sorry it got lost too. I just hope someone found it and thought "how cool... a tiny book!" And started a whole new obsession with minis! Thank you so much Vanessa!
@@BentleyHouseMinis Thank you So so much, I know whatever you make will be beautiful. I thought since you didn't get to see it, I'd send the link of my reference just so you have an idea of what was lost. www.abebooks.com/first-edition/Book-Black-Magic-Pacts-Including-Rites/22410878115/bd
Wouldn't that be great if the person who finds it does find the true magic of minis😛lol 💜
Wow. I am always amazed at anyone who can build a ship in this scale!!! You did a magnificent job!!!! All of the items in this are so amazing!!! Definitely a group effort!!!!
I love that it has definitely become a channel project and not just mine!😊
Hahaha the fact that you actually had a cake pop around the house
I actually went out and got them lol! I really couldn't get them out of my head... now I have had my fix for the next year😄
Wow! I'm so impressed that you could make such an incredible model working from photos! 😮 You're so talented! I'm having so much fun re-watching the Captain's Quarters videos- in order this time. :) (And thank you for not making the Captain a pirate- I'm really glad that the Captain turned out to be a nice person.)
The ‘fin’ is the ship’s Keel My married name is Kelson, which is the part of the ship that holds the keel (my wife and I merged our names to create our married name and were delighted to discover it was also one of the strongest parts of a ship). 25 years and counting :)
I love these little ships! When you made the tiny base, I saw a very tiny picnic table lol😊
Haha... oh my goodness yes! 1/48 scale maybe?
That's a beautiful little piece. You do such great work!!!
Wow! Congratulations on 50K!
Those ships are insane... you are an amazing artist Ara! I was showing my husband and his mind was blown, he asked “is she doing this for a commission piece?” When I told him Nope! Just because she loves doing it so much, we had a whole conversation about artists and those who create just for themselves, we both fall in that category too! Makers gotta make! 😁❤️
Also my husband loves the ship display, he kept saying .. wow...wow...WOW!!!
Thank you Kerri!!! Commissions just give me so much anxiety lol!! I get too caught up in make sure I meet all expectations that it looses some of the joy of creating for me. I am so glad your husband enjoyed the video too! ;)
These turned out very nice! However, carving rule #1: NEVER cut in the direction of yourself. Always cut away from your body. That way you won't get hurt if there should be a sudden obstacle like a knot, you use too much pressure and the knife should slide. It's mostly for situations where you cut uncontrolled, but it's safer nonetheless. I'm not a professional but I did love to carve as a child and teenager when I went camping.
Now I cannot stop thinking that the captain was the captain in Wasa, and well.. everyone must have difficulties leaving the harbor.
But maybe as the captain goes down with his ship, didn't really work with him, as the trip had just started and it was a maiden voyage and Wasa didn't _feel_ like his ship.. he didn't. And was shamed for it and could no longer work as a ship captain. So he started to teach himself everything about time travel, in order to get back to 1628 and stop the Wasa from going down and reclaim his status and reputation as a ship captain
Dear lady, Do not feel bad about not knowing the parts of a *ship*. I lived on a sailboat for day years and still do not know the name of all its parts! ( Which would totally frustrate my late husband, thank goodness he had the patients of a saint!) The Captain's Quarters is definitely on My to Do list in the future. Every once in a while I do make things for it that I may use down the road. You are amazing! Forgot!!! The Sextant, OMG!!!!
To secure books and other things without permanently gluing them in place, go online and search for "Tacky Wax" and "Museum Putty." (Similar items go by different names.) These materials can be used to attach miniatures temporarily to a surface. Museums use these non-permanent adhesives to prevent pieces from moving or falling over inside their display cases. The wax and putty are both non-staining and easily removed from whatever they are stuck to without damage. The wax is simply sticky clear wax. The putty has the consistancy of chewed bubble gum. And a little of either goes a long way.
Congratulations on your designing of the boats. They are fabulous. Well done you. Love your site.
Making the books and knickknacks stay put, while still being removable.... Consider magnets. Whether you use strips or disks, they should be small enough to be concealable in the depths of the shelves and on the books/objects but strong enough to do the job you want.
Plss can you make the house and doll of Haru Yoshioka(The cat returns) or Howl's moving castle
I still need to see that movie! It's been hard for me to find a rental... I might just have to buy it lol!
@@BentleyHouseMinis Thanks for reading my comment
I did not realize you built that big little ship! I am so behind on videos :( When I saw it in person I thought it was just part of the collection you were gifted or found. You did a great job sis! Always amazing and your videos make me think... I could do this... but then I just enjoy watching you craft and create a world to escape into!
Maybe a small slice of a drinking draw could be used for the railing of the crows nests? Although the end product is so amazingly detailed, I would’ve never noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out!
Hello! I am a new fan! I love your work! I was wondering if you have an Instagram? I also noticed you put a scripture in your bio, are you a Christian? :)
I was so excited to see your update on this project in my email! I've got it queued to my TV and ready to begin watching, big smile and much appreciation.
So very skilful (all of you). I’m very jealous. ❤️
😊 thank you
I love model ships too! You did an amazing job. It was fun to watch you create them!
On ships they often but a single rail to prevent things from falling out as the ship rolled. Could be good idea for cabins book case and ship display.
Omg.. Wow what a great job and so tiny. Love watching you create your tiny miniatures. You are so creative.
wow...I love your projects! I have learned many!!! thx
When you buy or make something for your house/ship you know where it goes, in fact in your mind it's the only thing that goes there. But when you're gifted something, no matter how beautiful or appropriate you often have trouble figuring out where to put it.
A small vise might be helpful for holding stuff firmly when you're working on it.
KEEL! Its called a Keel! Just kidding around, great work.
If I was a captain of a ship I would have a low rail in front of the bookcase that I was using for books and actually other things so they didn't fall off in a storm.
Great work , WOW . These ships came out great , the string part is awesome .
maybe the captain uses his sextant to navigate the seas of time (another dimension opened on command by the sextant) on his time ship?
Not gonna lie: hearing 'strings' over and over again for ropes or sheets hurt my soul a bit.
Beetlejuice!!!!! Cant wait!!!!! Love your videos!!!!
Got you chocolate fix, way to go, and you say you not a professional, ha!
I Love this Channel 🥰
😊Thank you!
For some reason, my favorite part is the folded up masts. :)
What amazing items you received from others!
I have been looking forward to this video & will be watching several times
You inspire me. I love your personality and skill set
Who needs network TV when you have the Bentley Channel?
The strings are the 'rigging', just an FYI. :D
Wow! Now I want to make a ship lol... my mom worked in the Queen Mary in Long Beach for 18 years... I’m inspired .lol...ugh must go on my to do list! ! 😂🙌🏼
A miniaturists to-do list never gets shorter lol!
Remarkable Ara. I love how these turned out.
Thank you for another fantastic video
Ridiculously Awesome Work.
Nice work! For the riggings I recommend „Uschi van der Rosten“ brand elastic rigging. It comes in various strengths and is easily glued in place with superglue. A real timesaver.
I'll check it out! Thank you!
The tiny little sail boat is adorable. Thanks for the muslin and glue tip. I've mentally filed it away for later use.
Well done, my dear. 🤗
It's perfect. I'm so enchanted. :)
The second ship has so much detail, and I love that you used different materials to create the details. So very cool. "You go girl"!!
Your work is fantastic!
Thank you Darnelle! I believe half the battle with fabric is just forcing it to behave lol!! If I can tame it before I even start working then that's what I try to do. Have a great day!!
So tiny. Excellent job and video.
Amazing!!! So much fun and a great hobby. Hobbies are underrated, you and so many people enjoy your dollhouses. You make family heirlooms. Beautiful!!!
Thank you Neptune!
You should be proud of yourself! They look amazing, especially the Vasa.
Thank you for sharing. It’s been really relaxing watching you craft.
Hugs from Sweden 🤗
Aww I am so glad you liked it! I am been so excited to have the approval of my Swedish subscribers!😊
New subscriber here : congrats on your amazing art work Milady Ara !!!
I'd love if you could make something related to Bram Stoker's novel and Dracula's Castle on a cliff in the Carpathian Mountains with all the iconic dark gothic vampire atmosphere featuring romanian wooden road crosses, coffins, bats, wolves, rats, crows, the full Moon, the 3 Vampire Brides, Count Dracula, etc. inspired perhaps by FW Murnau's film Nosferatu or by FF Coppola movie Bram Stoker's Dracula!
Thank Filipe and welcome the channel!! Love all those old novels and stories and would love to do something like that some day!
That's amazing work!!
this video is full of awesomeness!!
These are so beautiful! I found you a few weeks ago, while my family was in quarantine due to CoVID.... I think I binge-watched 3/4 of your live streams and a large portion of your other videos! Your videos are so pleasing and your voice 8s soothing! LOL I wondered what you would be doing next and these are gorgeous.
Thank you so much Jessica! I am so glad the videos have brought you some joy during quarantine!
The ships are amazing, I’m just wonder did you make a niche, next to the captains bed for him to put he’s book and glasses ( if he wears glasses) when he’s finished reading before going to sleep. That way you could add a couple of extra books, naturally it will need a board along the bottom so nothing falls out of the niche in rough weather. Just a suggestion. ☺️☺️👏👏👍👏👍
I will have to see what room I have over there... but that makes sense!
Great project! I have a question about the Dremmel though. With Christmas coming, I was thinking of asking for one, but I don't know if its a worthwhile tool and if so, which one I should get. Do you have any advice on the topic?
The smaller one I used in this video is not made anymore unfortunately. But they all do very similar things. just depends on if you want one with a charger stand or with a cord you have to plug in. The plug-in ones tend to have a lot more power. I hope that helps you find one that will work for you!
The Sextants usually were kept in a custom-made Mahogany case with a soft padded Velveteen lining. Mahogany stands up extremely well to water that is why it is used for cases on boats. It is often even used in making of boats. Your ship came out very nice. 🍾 ⚓ 🌌 🌅
Thanks for the info! I will look for some references!
Seeing this vid i think you are gonna like the Christmas gift I'll be sending. (Calling it that as I won't be sending it till late Nov/early Dec and knowing shipping times that is about when it will arrive). Absolutely love the Captains Quarters. :}
Sorry to see you lost a book in the mail. Maybe it joined mine, although I had the damaged envelope sent back as the damage had made the bar code and your address unreadable. :]
Can't wait! Thank you so much for thinking of me😊 It breaks my heart knowing that somethings may have gone missing in the mail :(
Ok I think I've watched every single video on your channel at this point and I'm eagerly awaiting the next.
Thank you so much for watching my videos! It makes me so happy to hear you are enjoying them!
You just made my Swedish heart so proud! :D 💜 I think you did an amazing job on your boats :) not a professional ey, could have fooled me!!! you don´t need to know the namne of everything to be amazingly good at it, just saying! 💜
And to you who sent your books, you made a awesome job too! so fun to see what you come up with! :D 💜
Thank you so much! I have been so glad to have the approval of my Swedish subscribers who have actually seen it in real life! I appreciate it💖
I haven’t been a subscriber for long, but I am continuing to be amazed by your attention to quality and detail. I am interested in miniatures, and have “messed around” a little, but I really don’t know where to start on a project. Thanks for sharing your passion and expertise with your viewers.
Thank you Lisa and welcome to the channel! Have you check out my cardboard house playlist? That's a project made with just using cardboard and items found around the house. That may spark some starting point ideas for you ;)
