@@ArtOfTyTy hey mate, depends on when you ordered. We've had a big delay caused by the factory of the boxes, but we're currently packing all rest orders and the last ones should go out this coming Friday if there's no further delays.
@@nickkohlmann The Halo ones in the MSFT buildings were pretty amazing. This manta diorama is incredible as well. The artistry and creativity is astounding.
This art piece deserves its own full length video of just glamour shots and super close ups of each and every detail - there are so many! Way more than can fit in a 2 minute montage like here... Either way, absolutely amazing, mind-blowingly good job guys.
I think as a 12-13 year old my toes would have curled up and I would have died of envy on the spot. Even now in my late 30’s I want to go and build my own epic diorama. This video is so inspiring, thanks for show off the amazing work.
Фантастические способности молодых людей с неординарным мышлением и Видением трагедии.. Завораживает!Удачи в новых проектах!В свои 65 лет много сам рисовал сюжетов на космические темы ,но у Вас получилось Здорово!
Awesome video! I want to see a blooper reel of all the things that went wrong during the process because I love seeing how you guys problem solve and adjust along the way! Really inspiring!
I have no hesitation declaring this to be the most awesome hobby project I have ever seen in life. It's been fun watching it slowly evolve and take shape over the past year or so. Congrats on a fantastic job!
Hats off to the editor with the music choice. What a great idea with a kind of solemn ending to it all. Feel like I just watched an epic movie. And I guess I did!
Yes, I watched the entire 27 minutes. Rewinding quite a few times to take in the process and I'm glad I did as it made the final reveal so much more breathtaking, impressive and beautiful (and enormous) than it already is.
Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you. I can’t believe it’s been 14 months, but the payoff has been so very worth it. Your persistence and determination is amazing. I hope you’re taking a well-deserved break before launching into your next big project, but the Kickstarter sounds pretty massive!
Hey Squidmar guys, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this series and I hope you do something similar in the future. Everytime a new video would come out I'd tell my wife and we would sit and watch it together on the PS4. She isn’t even into the hobby but she thought the project was pretty cool and liked seeing your progress. Watching your series became something we did together. Thanks
I now realise that this Video series has acompanied me for more than a year now and what joy I felt every time a new video was added :) thank you very much!
I hope you guys enter this into a competition, after all that hard work, it truely looks amazing. I got into mini painting about 14 months ago, and have been watching your channel ever since :)
This has to be one of the most incredible dioramas I have ever seen!! I am awed, simply awed!! You guys are true artists on another level!! It's a privilege to watch your work!!
It's quite astonishing/astounding the skills needed and the commitment to create this work of art. It's been a fun 14 months following your journey. Thank you for sharing.
This was amazing, beautiful, and what a story it tells! I like the dead t'au who was holding his helmet. I like to think he died on impact and the one survivor was right next to him, a brother, a friend. The surviving t'au placed the helmet in his friends arms and left him there. Forever ready to defend the greater good even in death. GOD so much story on this piece!
Take note world you guys deserve all the attention you get for this piece you have done justice to one hell of a model and one hell of a team great work and thank you so much.
I've watched every video in this series and this project still just blows my mind every time I come back to it. The dedication and love you've all put into this diorama (and the mini ones too!) is truly an inspiration.
Amazing work guys! I love the idea of this last survivor on this alien planet sleeping under a teddy-bear blanket! Your attention to detail and mastery of your craft is astounding! Great job! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bonjour messieurs, Je regarde énormément de dioramas car j’aime beaucoup la créativité qui s’en dégage mais je dois avouer que celui ci est réellement à part : les couleurs sont magnifiques, les détails innombrables, la minutie des personnages est bluffante C’est bien simple : je ne vois pas un seul élément qui ne s’harmonise pas avec les autres C’est du grand art !!! Merci pour ce partage 👍
Un long travail de 14 mois avec des détailles époustouflant et une parfaite qualité final mais aussi le courage et la patience de faire ce projet jusqu'au bout .Bravo👏👏👏 Congratulation !
The music and flow of this video is an epic capstone to the Manta Saga, but I’d still recommend watching the whole series because the journey is just as important as the destination!!
It is so Cool to go back and see how all this was done, just how much work y'all put into this, and then to see the end come is so hard to pick between how cool it was to be a part of the build or the end results....Thank y'all so much for letting us be a part of this....The two of you do AMAZING WORK together....✌👍💯‼‼
This is a level of awesome that words fail to capture. As far game themed dioramas go, you and you team have set the bar so high it's now in orbit somewhere around Saturn. WELL DONE!!! Now I wonder if you guys could top that and give a shield maiden some wonderful ideas by making something huge and Viking themed?
can't believe it's been 14 months o.O what an absolute masterpiece. With this vid recapping the entire process, it's absolutely astounding how many details are in this one diorama. Legendary!
Magnificent! It has been incredible to watch the process from the initial concepts all the way to the finished work. Thanks for taking us all on such an awesome ride!
Oh, you clever fox, putting your sponsor bits while showing the step-by-step to your diorama. Well played, well played. I'll watch your Squarespace funny business, but know that I complain and grumble. I love you.
I love interests & hobbies. I am really fond of crafts, model building & the DIY & Maker sphere world. I have a lot of various interests which is a good & bad thing. Anyway, I am always inspired by & in awe of people who are supremely talented & passionate about an art or craft like this. When you live & breath something, it’s truly a beautiful thing. Maybe if we recognized how much we share passions, interests & crafts then we would have less contention like we do in the world now. Glad I stumbled upon this channel. Sometimes the algorithm god sends us gold & not some detritus.😉
Gentlemen, your talents are mind blowing. This is one of the best dioramas I have ever seen. Your attention to detail is just mind blowing. This is like a museum quality piece of artwork !Great video and great work.👍🏼🤩❤️
Incredible diorama - the clarity of the epoxy lake, the weathering effects and the landscaping is magnificent. But the Pièce de résistance is the waterfall from the intake fairing. It gives this diorama "motion" - even though it's not moving. Amazing talent! BTW - Death to the heretic, purge the xenos, cleanse the mutant!
That is so cool! I remember watching the first video of you talking about the Manta and the whole idea. And then every other week a video would pop on my feed about the ongoing steps. I watched the last one, really awesome, but this condensed version, for everyone who watched the whole thing since the start, is even better. Awesome job, Squidmar!
Awesome recep!! Really brings together everything that we have watched grow over the last year and a bit together ! It's sad but amazing all at the same time !! Begs the questions what is to come next as this chapter closes !!! Great music and clips , really highlights the build of the project!
really amazing to see the recap. been here for the whole journey but looking back, it really shows just how far it's come, every step of the way. great video
Been watching your videos for the past week or so, and I just painted my first mini since I was a kid (I'm 33). It's not perfect, but I'm super pumped at how it turned out! Gonna go through my copy of Bloodrage and then start thinking about Warhammer 40K. Thank you for all the instructional videos!
I stumbled across this video while looking for instructions on how to make a wall out of styrofoam lol, the level of detail, skill and artistic expression required to create this amazing diorama is astounding. Simply amazing 👌🏻👏🏻
As a fellow artist, I am always tempted to add a critique or two. But then I ask myself: why nitpick such excellent results? I have always loved the way a good diorama evokes multiple emotional responses at once: loneliness, tragedy, impending danger, curiosity, wonder, moral disgust, awe of nature, etc. Well done.
Absolutely masterly work. Approaching genuine art, as you no longer really know what the hell you're looking at, even though the details are all there. The mind goes empty in the end... Pretty damn good ⭐⭐👍👍
That's absolutely breathtaking, you folks are some talented people. Watching it come together was a pleasure, but seeing the final product was something else. Just stunning.
Well you guys are nuts. This whole project was mind blowing from the beginning to the end and the outcome is so trough the roof that I lack words to describe

I see what you are doing appealing to the algorithm with "what hides under the surface" trying to get those creepy water diorama clicks Squidmar! :P
@@pronumeral1446 Lets gooo!
What's the lead time on late pledges for your brushes?
@@ArtOfTyTy hey mate, depends on when you ordered. We've had a big delay caused by the factory of the boxes, but we're currently packing all rest orders and the last ones should go out this coming Friday if there's no further delays.
@@SquidmarMiniatures I ordered about a month ago
Squidmar this is the 17th week in a row you've shown tau manta in class.
Yes, but this is the last one :D showing everything in one video for those who havent been able to follow the series :D hahaha
@@SquidmarMiniatures all good man. Just havin a goof. You do great work keep it up! Thank you for the vids!
“Squidmar. This is a science fair. You can’t keep showing us a fictional model.”
@@SquidmarMiniatures say it ain't so! I'm looking forward to years of increasingly contrived revisits for this glorious work of art.
Ultralord reference? (Jimmy neutron)
This is one of the best dioramas I have ever seen.
What are the other ones?
@@nickkohlmann The Halo ones in the MSFT buildings were pretty amazing.
This manta diorama is incredible as well. The artistry and creativity is astounding.
So it would seem.
me too. all the time that went in to it..........
This is a great hobby--possibly the greatest of hobbies--to ensure your virginity well into adulthood if not eternally.
14 months of work= 14 months of absolute ART!
Literally got no other words at this point but it's been one hell of a ride watching you and your team.
Dude
@@SquidmarMiniatures No one else does it like Squidmar Miniatures

Yes! I was hoping to get that with this video instead of a recap. Still hoping!
I think as a 12-13 year old my toes would have curled up and I would have died of envy on the spot. Even now in my late 30’s I want to go and build my own epic diorama.
This video is so inspiring, thanks for show off the amazing work.
One of the best diorama I’ve seen, the weathering is done awesomely 🤘.
This... such beauty makes a grown man's eyes water. You just created the new main centre piece for Warhammer World. What a journey.

I feel like standing up in my living room and applauding. Wow. What a fun journey to have been able to watch from start to finish ❤️
Awesome video! I want to see a blooper reel of all the things that went wrong during the process because I love seeing how you guys problem solve and adjust along the way! Really inspiring!
A blooper real would be fun. A recap of some crazy expensive diorama, it was nice.
you can watch his whole series on it that includes the whole process, including all the mess ups along the way
I have no hesitation declaring this to be the most awesome hobby project I have ever seen in life. It's been fun watching it slowly evolve and take shape over the past year or so. Congrats on a fantastic job!
Hats off to the editor with the music choice. What a great idea with a kind of solemn ending to it all. Feel like I just watched an epic movie. And I guess I did!
Again you are two of the most talented sculptures, painters and personalities in this field. Keep it up lots.
The weathering and damage detail blows my mind every time I see it! You guys should be so proud of this one!
Yes, I watched the entire 27 minutes. Rewinding quite a few times to take in the process and I'm glad I did as it made the final reveal so much more breathtaking, impressive and beautiful (and enormous) than it already is.
Have been doing dioramas for 4 years now and i can only imagine the hours put in this! Wish my painting was this crisp. Outstanding work!!
Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you. I can’t believe it’s been 14 months, but the payoff has been so very worth it. Your persistence and determination is amazing.

Thank you very much for making a supercut of all of this! I wanted to go back through it all, but there really was so much.
Not only the best diorama I’ve ever seen but it makes you all, in my eyes, the true 2022 golden demon champions! A true masterpiece
You guys have done something so far beyond anything I could have imagined being done with a diorama within this hobby!
"A miniature so big, it could barely be built!" Remember when they built a half scale Titanic in a desert?
It really brings you to another world; seeing a piece like this.
Out of the world, a round of applause for you Creative people 👏
It's quite astonishing/astounding the skills needed and the commitment to create this work of art. It's been a fun 14 months following your journey.
Thank you for sharing.
It is incredible, the most awesome diorama I've ever seen ! The level of detailling is unbelieveble !!
Absolutely breathtaking. If someone ever opens a Museum of Nerdy Art or something, this deserves to be the centerpiece of the exhibit.
Really amazing diorama, I actually forgot about the necron tomb. This Thing is massive and awesome!
This was amazing, beautiful, and what a story it tells!
I like the dead t'au who was holding his helmet. I like to think he died on impact and the one survivor was right next to him, a brother, a friend. The surviving t'au placed the helmet in his friends arms and left him there. Forever ready to defend the greater good even in death.
GOD so much story on this piece!
Take note world you guys deserve all the attention you get for this piece you have done justice to one hell of a model and one hell of a team great work and thank you so much.
Its a Masterpiece in my opinion, realy wonderfull work guys ❤
Glad you think so!
I'm so proud of you guys!! Your hard work, love and dedication to your craft is amazing. Thank you for letting us be part of this journey ❤
That thing is amazing. It's been so much fun watching all of this unfold since it's inception, all the way now to the grandest of all grand reveals
I've watched every video in this series and this project still just blows my mind every time I come back to it. The dedication and love you've all put into this diorama (and the mini ones too!) is truly an inspiration.
wow, simply stunning. no matter how many times I see this diorama, it never ceases to amaze me
Most epic diorama ever built from concept to execution... well done.
Amazing work guys! I love the idea of this last survivor on this alien planet sleeping under a teddy-bear blanket! Your attention to detail and mastery of your craft is astounding! Great job! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The music and flow of this video is an epic capstone to the Manta Saga, but I’d still recommend watching the whole series because the journey is just as important as the destination!!
This to me is what modelmaking is all about... 😊 absolutely incredible! ! ! I'm going to watch this several times
I've loved this series, hope you do more
Absolutely amazing. I love seeing dioramas that show futuristic technology's battle against nature. The juxtaposition is just so gorgeous.
I'm glad I can live vicariously through talented Warhammer fans. Your work is beautiful.
It is so Cool to go back and see how all this was done, just how much work y'all put into this, and then to see the end come is so hard to pick between how cool it was to be a part of the build or the end results....Thank y'all so much for letting us be a part of this....The two of you do AMAZING WORK together....✌👍💯‼‼

This belongs in Warhammer World!! Just wow. Been following this the whole 14months and it was awesome.
I’d love to see other dioramas but following on from this story line. Would love to know what happens to the lone survivor
That was a beautiful song to display the magnitude and loss, experienced from the crashing of the iconic tau vehicle. Well chosen.
It looks even more amazing than I could have imagined. You guys put so much work in, and it really paid off. Thanks for sharing!!!

It’s still crazy to me that it’s been so long, time flies I guess. I’ve rewatched all the manta videos so many times.
A true piece of art. That water coming off the ship came out so well.
I can’t believe it’s been 14 months already since this journey started! Time truly flies the older you get.
This is completely awesome
This is the most incredible warhammer diorama I have ever seen
Gentlemen, your talents are mind blowing. This is one of the best dioramas I have ever seen. Your attention to detail is just mind blowing. This is like a museum quality piece of artwork !Great video and great work.👍🏼🤩❤️
It is huge, wow! I love this project, congratulations!!!!!
The attention to detail in this build is absolutely incredible!! This is like nothing I have ever seen before this is an insane diorama 👌🏻
I had electroswing music playing while watching this and it fit amazingly well. Great work, this is incredible 😍💝

Отличная работа!!!Искусству и фантазии нет границ,браво!!!

really amazing to see the recap. been here for the whole journey but looking back, it really shows just how far it's come, every step of the way.
great video

I stumbled across this video while looking for instructions on how to make a wall out of styrofoam lol, the level of detail, skill and artistic expression required to create this amazing diorama is astounding. Simply amazing 👌🏻👏🏻
Wow, thanks!
Totaly insane. What an journy. Thanks to you for taking us with that.
WOW!!! Lengendary Artwork! I am sooooo impressed! Thanks for this! When will mankind see things like this in the MOMA??? Many greetings from Germany!
Wow! I can watch this over and over again.

Absolutely beautiful, It was great getting to see this journey unfold.
And this was released on my b-day what an epic diorama !!
i’ve allways liked the concept of a space ship crashing on a deserted planet and keep up the good work
Awesome is not enough! 800+ hours of the greatest work I've seen so far!!
the fact that Warhammercommunity hasn't done an article about that should be considered a crime at this point... So disappointing
Well... 😔
Absolutely truly frickin awesomely amazing!!! Best diorama ever👍
Absolutely masterly work. Approaching genuine art, as you no longer really know what the hell you're looking at, even though the details are all there. The mind goes empty in the end...
Pretty damn good ⭐⭐👍👍
Well done guys! I loved watching this series and I'm excited to see what big projects you work on next.
giant diorama with dioramas within diorama all done to every detail! amazing!
That's absolutely breathtaking, you folks are some talented people. Watching it come together was a pleasure, but seeing the final product was something else. Just stunning.
Nothing short of perfect. beautifully done.
I am simply in awe about what you guys achieved.... well done!
WOW just WOW as a model builder and a diorama builder this is at its own level of models and dioramas! ❤❤😁
Guys it’s been a pleasure watching u build this from the start! U guys are the best!
Well you guys are nuts. This whole project was mind blowing from the beginning to the end and the outcome is so trough the roof that I lack words to describe
