Creativity at its height. Beautiful finish. One quick tip for your resin cleanup before curing - move to a two stage cleaning. Start with your normal IPA bath. Once that is done, remove the parts from the gray-bath, and put them into a second container of clean IPA. Finally, use a firm brush to get that into the crevices. Let the now cleaned parts dry for at least 2 hours before you cure them - a final blow off (I use my airbrush empty) to coax out any hiding IPA can also help.
If this doesn't earn a subscription I don't know what it does. Love seeing the skill set shared between scales. This is another piece that came out awesome.
As always, another piece of art. Absolutely beautiful. You have a particular total domain of 3D design, weathering, and airbrushing skills. That's without mention of the other many skills you've shown since the beginning of your channel. And I knew it since then, too, that this channel will be a great success. Congratulations. Thank you very much for all the shows that take our mind to another galaxy far, far away.
This is just too awesome. I have a chunk of foam packing material I’ve been saving for just such a project. It is the size and shape of a Tatooine type building. Thank you for the inspiration.
@12:15 "no-ones gonna see it but makes me feel good" I was doing some modelling at work years ago on a very slow day, (back then my boss was also my best mate and was OK with it long as it didn't get in the way of work) and I was doing some painting of a plane interior and such and he said "why are you doing that, no-ones going to see it" and I gave the exact same answer - I'm doing it because I'll know it's there and is "accurate" to my design idea.
5:03 I actually kind of like the dull look. It seems to help deliver the "used" or " lived in" look that made Star Wars so much more believable. This is one of the reasons I am such a huge fan of the wholly underrated "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" film from 1964. They made a disastrous crash landing on Mars look plausible. I also loved the 60s concepts of exploratory spacecraft that looked like they came from the pages of a NASA manual. Because they probably did! This was a good build. I am looking forward to the next installment, especially those viewscreens!
Lovely, it blends prequels and OT aesthetics nicely! BTW the possitive income of having had to ditch the ceiling struts is that the reccesses you modeled to fit them add some nice dimension. I'll have a corellian ale...in a clean glass.
Hay enjoyed this episode, very cool addition to the pit build. Don't sweat the trouble you are having with the 3-D prints, that happens with all new creative materials ( I like to thank of it as a learning curve which may teach you a technique by accident that you can use on a later project.)
Excellent job! A tip. Invest in a flexplate for your 3d printer. Some resins/prints will refuse to get of the build plate whit out extreme force, but whit a flexplate they'll pop right of.
Greebiles the most important part of any star wars build it gives life to something that otherwise would look too plain. Great little build as always looking forward to the finished project. 👏👍👍🤞
This is looking really great... the amount of detail is inspiring and when you see it attached to the other diorama you really get a sense for how immersive the pit is going to be. Can't wait to see what's next.
Absolutely incredible bro!!! I love all the little details that give it life and a story! I hear you about the resin printing though... man I have a lot to learn with that.
These look so amazing! I’m glad you’re taking care of the most important items first - a bar, and a barbecue. Have to make sure those smugglers stay well-fed and lubricated!
Love it! The 3D printing gave you a great result. What a cool tool. It feels like in theory it would be easier to get the overall look you are after instead of missing out on that perfect kitbased part. I've always done things like this entirely by hand w/ kit-bashing & scratch-building (which I do love doing), but would love to get a 3D printer to supplement my other building methods. Loving this series so far, the newest stall adds so much life to the scene. I love the colors you chose for it. I can't wait for the next video.
Thank you!! I agree about the 3D printing. With this entire project I think you’ll see us use a healthy amount of both. I’ve been thinking about several kit-bashing projects as well. It’s such an enjoyable process.
You make it look so ‘easy’. Just a few minutes in Fusion. A few minutes on the resin printer….i mean many hours of reprinting in resin. Dab a bit of paint here and there. Dig out those special tiny turned brass bottles you just happen to have laying around. A few wires and WHAMMO!! You’ve got yourself a real Star Warsy looking bar. Y’all amaze me with your endless talent, your vision, and your wee little 3d self portraits. They’re GRRRREAT!!!
Thank you!!! To be fair it was a lot of hours in fusion for this one, and the painting took forever. That’s the magic of UA-cam for ya 😂 Thanks so much!
@@TheSmugglersRoomhaving spent untold hours in Fusion I can respect the time it takes for projects like this. At least having 3d printers at arms length makes testing your design very easy. I bought a Bambu P1S printer back on Black Friday. I’ve been endlessly running it since. My resin printer has been feeling ignored. Burning through filament like crazy.
Can I get Correllian ale.... in a clean glass. 100 worthless points to anyone that knows where that's from. Wow that looks absolutely amazing, great job as always. I can't wait to see more from this project.
For those who would be using translucent paint, spray all your parts with a white undercoat to bring the colors out. In this case you can see it wasn't needed, but you never know when bright colors are required. I assume you were using resin to glue the pieces together? Or was it just a thick CA glue?
Been a fan of yours for about 4-5 months (that is when I found your stuff) I have watched this video and thought, "when I get a 3D printer I will have to do this." Right now I am not sure when I will get one. Every time I am ready to pull the plug and buy one I psych myself out of it. I am sure I will buy one at some point. Until then I would like to see if you would be willing or have you thought about printing and selling the kit. If so how much? Anyways, LOVE the work can't wait for more on this overall project.
Another great video! Giving me lots of ideas for projects to add custom touches to our new house and especially my office, man. The brass "bottles" -- are those just standoffs for electronics?
Thank you! I’m not actually sure what those brass pieces are. I purchased a box of random parts from eBay a long time back and there was a bag of these brass parts. Totally random.
As always, I’m loss for words in your describing your attention to detail and expertise…. have you ever checked out a company called Light My Bricks they light up Lego Sets but also sell LED components and electronic modules. Yet again, great Vid.❤
@@TheSmugglersRoomthe size of the Led,s are micro small perfect for small projects and dioramas. And these parts are actually hard to source from general electronic parts distributors. They are a company that distributes widely in the US? Definitely check them out.
Resin printing can be tough for everyone, but my advice is, get a semiflex resin, learn how to use it, you will never regret, it won't break easy, some resin brands smells better, super versatile!
Holy mother of an ewok this looks amazing, can't wait to see the screens working. My favourite part is the vertical metal cylinder on the left with the lights. I like the way it half sticks out it just looks so star warsy. What is the scale of this ? If it's alright by you I might build you my own edition to add to your pit as a gift Ps. We definitely need a miniature L3-FTY in there somewhere
Can you share how you added and programmed those screens and what screens/parts did you purchase? Trying to do something similar with a Batcave diorama
God I love your videos!! Do you think you could go over the types of search terms you use in midjourney? I try to get inspired as well but nothing ever comes out with the star wars look like you have with the search terms I try
When selecting paint and graphics for the miniature diorama's do you try to develop the characters and determine what part of the galaxy, they're from to create a more detailed environment or do you just dive in and through caution to the wind and just let the imagination flow. Without going cerebral and complex, just keep it simple. Either way it's all about the fun of building something out of nothing.
It’s actually somewhere in the middle. I’m actually developing a bit of a story behind the world I’m developing here. At the same time I’m letting my imagination wander and inspiration take hold. So yep, both is fair 😉
I am actually. I have to say I do find it worth it. It’s like having a scratchpad that produces images far better than I can draw. It’s also a very enjoyable pastime.
So now you have scale model when are you doing the 1:1 model, And you can display the scale diorama on the back of the bar. Make sure you video telling your spouse if she hurts you it evidence. Matter of fact that bar would make a nice head board in the bed room! I’m a bad bad influence but it would keep with your theme of the smugglers room… and if she were to murder you think of the views you would get…I’m a bad influencer but think of it your first 10,000,000 views! Take one for Star Wars, wonder how many views you could get if she slipped you a Mickie and dressed you up as Princess Leia… Oh my I’m not sure Disney would approve they may spend in the storm troopers
So a maker that has 3D design skills to create something from their mind, and then uses a 3D printer to give it physical form, or a maker using their creative talents to design something in two dimensions and then uses another tool such as the laser to bring that creativity to life . . . Is borning? Interesting. I guess by that thought process table saws and routers have made woodworking UA-camrs boring as well? Yeah, I think I’ll kindly disagree with you. It thanks for the view!
@@TheSmugglersRoom It might be great for you as a maker, but as a viewer, I find it uninteresting. It's much more satisfying to watch people build scratch made stuff. Btw, I've been watching your videos for years.
I'm with Brian on this one. I own a laser cutter and two 3D printers. I'm still new to 3D printing and haven't started designing my own stuff yet, but designing for the laser cutter takes a good amount of time and creativity on how to make it work. This is not a case of letting a machine do the work for you by any means. If a person is doing the design on a laser cutter, CNC router or 3D printer, that person is just as vested as if creating it from your own bare hands. They're just modern tools for a modern age.
Honnestly as a starwars nerd seeing someone create something out of nothing that fits within the universe of starwars makes me feel happy
So glad to hear that!
Extraordinary work on the 3D models!
Thank you my friend!
