  • Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when... we decided to make a miniature version of the western air temple?
    It's been a long time coming that I would make something from ATLA considering how much of an impact it has had on my life.

    Would like to say just how grateful I am that people have been interested in the stuff I make... It's honestly wild to me how many people have watched and supported. Can't really put it into words well, but thank you so much~

    • @MechanicalFiend
      @MechanicalFiend  2 роки тому +30

      Hahaha totally agree with you there, but the one I painted here didn't even end up on the final miniature, so technically it was a little unnecessary! Still included it in the end though, so maybe you're right lol!

    I just watched studson studio's build on howl's moving castle and i was thinking "what if someone were to build atla's upside down air temple" and as I scrolled through his comment section i came across your channel and the exact build i was thinking of :0. I just wanna say your build is really impressive. I love all the details you put into the temple and cliff and little sculptures. i literally just came here lol but i'm really inspired to work on a miniature version of the frog's house in travelling frog(game) or maybe Arrietty's little house under the floorboards :D

    This is completely rad as always, I especially love using the lack of shelf space as inspiration to create an iconic upside-down world. I hope for your sake you get to work on a smaller project next because they are always so impressive, from giant house on a cliff to a tiny borrowers bedroom in a cookie tin. Seeing you work on projects from media that clearly means so much to you is just the icing on top of your incredible builds because you can truly tell in the attention to details and beautifully done editing. I think you've done the show more than justice with this, sincerely a long time avatar fan and new but enthusiastic MechanicalFiend fan.

    I must say Avatar Tlab is one of the most inspiring and breathtaking series I've seen in my life!

    This is great. A great tip I have learned is, when using sand/dirt, if you spray it with isopropyl alchohol and then use a dropper to drip diluted glue over it, it really sets everything without clumping up the sand.

    I LOVED the intro! Super great video, A++! Right now I’m working on a crazy wizard tower that’s about 3 foot tall, that looks like a giant dragon took a bite out of it, with a huge chunk of the shingles and bricks ripped off, with only the wooden “structure” inside showing. I’ve used a lot of your crafting tips for some of my projects, especially your aluminum foil rocks! This is actually my first non-themed build, just something out of my imagination. I’m also working on the flying howls moving castle from the end of howls moving castle ( I already made the big main one) but it’s pretty hard, considering that there are LITERALLY only two shots of it from the move, a side view and a top view of the back half. So, 🤞I can make up the rest of it. Thanks so much for inspiring me, you and all the other crafters on UA-cam have taught me a lot of good crafting skills, and I’ve gotten a lot better. Thank you so much!

    I knit.
    This past year, I added to the insanity by unplying my yarn. I use the thinnest needles I can find, even using florists' wire where necessary - but using sock yarn that is labeled as SUPERFINE, it's prehhhhhhtty gosh-dern thin, but made from twisting 3-5 thinner yarns -- like a cable suspension bridge, the wire cables have much more strength when they are twisted, layered, and twisted some more. Well, taking the yarn apart not only leaves me with insanely thin yarn, but insanely frail yarn, too-boot! And, it takes a lonnnnnng time to do - and, lots get broken because of how weak it becomes. So, ya, I feel ya when you spoke about unravelling to get the effect you need for this project.

    • @MechanicalFiend
      @MechanicalFiend  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah the individual strands can definitely be pretty fragile on their own, that's why I tend to only use them for aesthetic purposes rather than functional haha. Totally feel your pain though, sounds like your yarn is a ton thinner, which I can only imagine is super difficult to work with. Wish you well with all your future knitting and yarn unraveling, I am with you my friend!

    As one crafter to another the yarn gluing on the roofs may have been faster if you would've measured how long of pieces u needed for each roof and cut them a head of time or just cut a bunch of piece around the same length a little longer than u think you need and cut a whole bunch out so you can put a bunch of the glue lines down and place the yarn down quickly and then just trim the extra yarn off after everything was done and try

    • @MechanicalFiend
      @MechanicalFiend  2 роки тому

      To be honest, the problem wasn't really that it took longer that way, it was simply that there were so many roofs to do it on haha!
