Okay, I have to confess, that is my favorite ever, it brings me back to my childhood when I dreamed of having such a cool toy to imagine science fiction stories!
Love the manual scoring on the landing pad. It's inspiring to see a smart, low tech, hand done solution to something that would usually be made using a laser cutter. I am thoroughly enjoying this cyberpunk series. Can't wait to see what's coming next.
Looks so good. Really love the lights on the landing pad. Really awesome part of this diorama. For the next one, we need a building with some flicking lights. Great work on this one.
Looks awesome! Like that you not only 3d printed actual parts but also a jig to solder together the LEDs. A 3d printer is so valuable to have as a modeller. 😊
Hey BP! On your LEDs, the resistor isnt just about dropping voltage, but limiting current. This kind of resistor arenagement is called "ballast" - and its basically the electrical equivalent of sandbags on a hot air balloon, it prevents the LED from soaring too fast in the circuit. The resistor value for your circuit is ~0 ohms because your power source is technically insufficient to drive those LEDs, so given alkaline batteries youre _probably_ fine - but performance will probably be sub-optimal (in this case, probably meaningless - just a technical distinction). To improve the performance of this circuit, you need to find the "voltage drop" or "forward voltage" for the LEDs and use at least that many volts (taking into account that voltage in batteries decreases as they lose charge) these white leds are like 3.2-3.4V, higher than the 3V input. This means the LEDs will be sucking on those batteries like a toddler on a near empty juice box, which if you were using lithium batteries could have spicy results. Adding a third AA battery would give you enough voltage, but you'd need a 68ohm (or thereabouts, mathematical optimum is 68ohm for a perfect 4.5V input) resistor for EACH LED. I thought it was worth mentioning - as your voiceover seemed to indicate an incomplete understanding of the reason for not using resistors, which I appreciate may have been for brevity - analogue electronics being as dry a topic as it is. Anyway, on the build. I cannot believe how freaking tidy your etched plexi looked. I'd never have even attempted that without a laser. Mega kudos. The edge illumination is genius, and your use of those train parts is going straight in my toolbox for later use. Great build, truly. It's all coming along wonderfully!
Awesome comment and thanks for the detailed info! You're half right about my rationale. I know current could have been handled properly with resistors and I also figured I didn't care for this application with such low use and low stakes. The thing I don't have is the patience or proper parts to make the perfect circuit 😅
Love it! Two things, first, where can I get that cool stencil? And second, would sanding the stencil area with fine sandpaper produce the same results?
Thanks! I don't know where I got it from. I can't find the order anywhere. If you search for a panel line scribing stencil you should be able to find something. This one is called "cormake" brand. I don't think sanding would work well at all and it would sand the stencil itself

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much
As a custom model maker myself, I am envious of your skills and creativity! Awesome work, amazing talent, incredible creativity!
You're too kind!
Another beautiful building for your cyberpunk city. I love that landing pad, absolute genius. Excellent work!
Thank you! It's coming along
Great build. Came up well and I love the lit landing pad. It's given me an idea.
Awesome! I'm glad I could pass on some inspiration
That landing pad came out so fresh, amazing work.
Thank you!!

I like figuring out problems! Dont get me wrong though, I'd use a laser if I had one 😅
Awesome awesome addition to the diorama!!! The detailing and lighting really pull the building together ❤😊❤
Thanks! I need to plan for the rest of the structures now
Screaming acrylic sounds like a pretty dope band name haha! This build turned out awesome!🙌
So true! 😂 Thanks man 👍
Looks so good. Really love the lights on the landing pad. Really awesome part of this diorama. For the next one, we need a building with some flicking lights. Great work on this one.
True! I'm planning on adding more lights in the final steps when all the structures are in place 👍👍
That landing pad is fire!
Thank you!
super awesome. Love it. Nice work. I'll be watching your videos...
Thank you! Please do!
Another great build is always my friend I really enjoy your channel my friend and keep up the good work and God bless my friend
Thanks JC! 😁👍
That lighting effect is so awesome, I am amazed this is the first time i've seen it
Thanks! I'm sure it's been done before though I haven't seen it personally either 🤔🤔🤔
As always, great stuff Ben. I’m sticking around for the whole series.
Awesome! This landing pad needs a vehicle 🤔
There is so much technical/creative wizardry going on here I don't even know where to begin. Just incredible work!!!
Too kind! Thank you
Looks awesome! Like that you not only 3d printed actual parts but also a jig to solder together the LEDs. A 3d printer is so valuable to have as a modeller. 😊
It really is! It's one of my favorite tools to have for any task.
Fantastic build, you'd make a killer terrain maker for tabletop miniatures!
Thank you! I am pretty close to that youtube niche but I don't play any games so I use the same skills to just make diorama
Very cool idea! Love seeing unique things like this!
Thank you! Almost all of what I've made on the channel is original ideas
Your videos are amazing inspiration for my own venture into the world of Cyberpunk Combat Zone terrain building
Awesome! I love to hear that
Awesome stuff man! That landing pad looks so cool!
Cheers! I'm glad I kept the building low for this
Excellent work!
Videos like this inspire and teach. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you for the kind comment 😊
Very cool. This and the flying car made me subscribe.
Thanks! Glad to have you here 👍
Love your builds, keep em coming!
Thank you! Will do 👍
So so so dope!
Thanks Nick! It needs a vehicle next
Love your builds!
Thank you so much! More on the way 👍
Nice work dude 🧡🧡
Thank you! 😊
Looks amazing! Instant fan.
Hey thank you!
awesome build !
Thanks!
this is awesome
Thanks Matt!
So awesome!!
Thank you!
Its amazing
Thank you so much!
Very cool!
Thank you!
😲🔥🔥 awesome
Thanks buddy!

Is that little solider from destiny 2?
could be where from I got it
You could always partially paint some of the metal to make it look weathered, or add some graffiti
That's a good idea 👍
Hey! BP! You stole my design! "LEDs ⤵"
It's mine now!
What percentage of this build would you say was 3D printed?
3.5%
Are you sure 13% of the build wasn’t 3D printed by 50% of your printers?
Wait, that's not gartic phone!
I should make a garlic phone haha
When he cut the clear plastic, what did you hear? "This sound makes me..." what? I don't I heard what I think I heard
Makes me laugh. The acrylic kind of screeches
Why not put the restaurant at the bottom. Name a cyper punk film where the protagonist doesn't get food from a street vendor...
True. I can still add underneath if I want as well 🤔
Mention at least where from you copied the design bro
Joke's on you. The whole video is AI generated
@@BPCustomCreations I knew it! Needs more AI narration like the Inaka Adventure channel
