Holy F&*% how does this channel not have a million subscribers? The crafting alone - all the multidisciplinary tools and skills, the perfectionism, the un-afraid-ness of new crafting techniques - would make this excellent, but then the editing and videography is so entertaining and fun!
haha thank you! I'm pretty happy with the channel growth so far :) I really enjoy making these projects and videos so I have no intention of stopping anytime soon haha. I don't expect anything crazy in terms of channel growth, but we'll see what the future holds!
One of the rare channels where there is no boring faffing around, instead crisp clear, easy to follow steps. Above all, highly professional presentation, vivid dose of humour, entertaining and perfectly fitting film tricks. A lot of thought and effort went into the filming. One of the best modelling channels I've ever seen.
This channel deserves a lot more attention. Your videography and modeling skills are top notch. If the fact that you casually designed, printed, and painted the stag is a tangential aside, then you know the rest is fantastic. Really great stuff. Glad I stumbled on this!
I'm a WW2 modeler. Tanks mostly but I have wanted to start putting them in diagrams of the European theater. These videos were incredible, and very helpful. Thanks 👍
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. Your sense of humor it fantastic, the editing is super fun, and the lessons learned tie it all together. Overcomplicate projects . . . That's my brand!! Glad i'm not alone. Keep'em coming!
I started really appreciating my power tool collection about 2 mins into this video you’re much more dedicated than I ever have been with my crafting 😂
Yeah I do like to make my life difficult 😅. When I want to get something done, nothing can stop me from doing it (i.e. trying the most absurd ways until I get a passable result 😂)
These look so fun to make! I do resin art but more sculpture type not just flat stuff. I played around trying to make a waterfall with 1:1 resin and used holographic window film to give the back side of the waterfall that prism rainbow effect and found a fondant mold that looked like flowing water. I think it was some type of ribbon mold or something. Made a mold for the shape of the waterfall I wanted. Poured the resin on the silicone fondant mold and covered it with the holographic so the top is the back. Waited until it was almost cured (bendable but not sticky) and it worked great! I used my heat gun to warm up spots on top to secure it and pulled some apart and bent it to make it look like splashes off of the rocks. This acrylic sheet and gel looks much faster. Lol. Very cool project! Love it!
Exciting tips as your crafting gives has great ideas. “ Oops & mistakes” along the way is how we all learn.. fun is what everyone should be having while modeling/crafting.. outstanding case display by the way.
This channel is recently becoming one of my favorites ! Love every aspect from the crafting tips to the great editing! Can't wait to see it grow to a huge audience
I love the final look of the whole diorama. I also love your production overall. I can't wait to watch more of your vids. They are fun, entertaining, and informative!
Worth it? I'm in awe!🤯 The stag was a perfect finish. But with all that vertical, you could have added a flying hawk. Just kidding, but wow, incredible stuff.
The quality of the edit and filming is crazy. I come from different crafting area of UA-cam and the tips per minute of what I have learned is crazy. IPA for hot glue! Nice.
That's a great looking lamp diorama. Whats your secret for keeping fingerprints off acrylic, i turn around and its covered in prints whenever I use it in any project.
Thanks Knarb! And the secret is that I had a few scratches I needed to polish out at the end so it was freshly cleaned and polished during filming. After that I got fingerprints everywhere 😅
super happy to see how you make your waterfall, I have been struggling with which medium to use for my project and as you know, when you have so much time invested in the structure of a project, you don't want to mess it up with an ugly waterfall. Thanks for your advise and I like your spirit!
The quality of the build and the editing on the video is amazing! I'm inspired to start working on some more terrain after seeing this. I hope you have all the success with UA-cam and continue making videos!
That's awesome to hear! Terrain seemed daunting to me at first but once I got my hands in there I fell in love with it! Best of luck to you on your journey 😊😊
Oh my god. You've got to be in the gaming or filming industry on how you sculpted that stag. Not to mention all the vfx. Superb really! New big fan right here :)
This video was super fun to watch! Just found this channel a few days ago, and it's quickly becoming a new favorite. The quality of the final product & the video are both excellent. Keep up the great work!
Your videos are great quality. Love your channel. I hope it grows like crazy. My thought about the acrylic/print joint is you could print a groove instead of the ledge. The depth of the groove would give you a margin for error in the cutting of the acrylic
This was so good! I especially enjoyed the edit where you snatched the stl out of the screen. This must have taken a long time to put together so well done!
What works for cutting acrylic sheet like that is a dremel using the drill bit type cutting bit and the router attachment. Stick the sheet to a 2mm or so MDF board with spray mount first, though.
Love it!! Great methods on that water. In retrospect, baking soda seems so obvious, but I never would have thought of it. Also, I have a tip to try if you haven't yet. Your results may vary, but I use gesso for my 3d print smoothing, and it makes it glossy smooth with relative ease. I had much better results than bond-o, and much less toxicity (especially on smaller prints). I rough sand, apply gesso and let it dry, followed by a quick medium to fine sand, then buff with a towel. However, it's highly probable that I didn't bond-o correctly, so maybe gesso isn't as good.
Incredible! It takes a lot of courage to just decide you're going to 3D print a stag - you did it, and very successfully. I'm in awe... (Also, your video editing skills are outstanding.)
Nice work. The end result looks awesome! I would add an tree at the top to finish it off as the top looks a bit bare? The lamp idea does look good though 👍 Great job. Monique
I completely agree with Hack 'n Slash Crafts below! You really have the skills! I don't know why I haven't found your channel before today! After I watch Black Magic Craft and Tabletop Witchcraft and some others I always look for other awesome crafters like you! Well I hope my subscription and likes make your channel easier to find! Great video and great tutorial!
Love the Dio, my only note would be the size of the Stag. Is he the right scale based on your trees, because now the amount of foam at the bottom of the falls seems excessive based on it being only a 12 foot drop.
Oh yeah I definitely added too much foam haha. I got a bit carried away with myself. Thise bushes were only supposed to shirt shrubs but they look like full trees in context with the waterfall. Whoops! 😅
Great job as always!! Even though you torture yourself with extra work, it pays off in the end!! Another fantastic video!! You will have a huge channel by this time next year, I am sure of it!!
OMG Your videos are so high Quality and full of details, like the perpect 3d print timelapse or the one second and the edges are painted! Nad btw way you are also a really cool person and every time I watch one of your videos, I leardn something. You definetly deserve more views and subscribers!
The intro to this video was Oscar worthy! Of course, I'm kidding, but it was funny as f*@#. Love your channel and will check out your other modeling vids.
Absolutely amazing diorama! It all fits together so well and looks just stunning. Keep going, I can't imagine this channel not blowing up with this extreme quality of all aspects. Camera, editing, engaging flow, creative shots representing the process and of course the final product. But I have also one critique or more like suggestion. The stag looks quite out of place. It is too big in my opinion. Compared to the mountain and the trees, which have really thin trunk and skinny branches. They look like big trees. In context with the stag, they seem more like bushes, but bushes split into branches mostly right out of the ground. So the scale feels weird. Maybe smaller stag would sell the diorama much better.
Hi, I just found your channel and am enjoying your work and processes; thanks for sharing. I won't take time to repeat all the well-deserved compliments made by others, but I will offer you a tip: If you use a black alcohol marker to color the bottom edge of the acrylic cover, the white line should disappear (test it on the back side). Beautiful work!
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it :) I actually like the glowing white line, that was the whole reason I did it this way instead of sinking the acrylic into the base. It adds a nice rim of highlight I think. To each their own of course though! 😊
Damnit Geordie! Your stag (which you didn't buy, but actually sculpted yourself) is a five second funny clip in this epic diorama build. I feel this is like a custom roust of my Rudolph build 😭
Holy F&*% how does this channel not have a million subscribers? The crafting alone - all the multidisciplinary tools and skills, the perfectionism, the un-afraid-ness of new crafting techniques - would make this excellent, but then the editing and videography is so entertaining and fun!

I really enjoy making these projects and videos so I have no intention of stopping anytime soon haha. I don't expect anything crazy in terms of channel growth, but we'll see what the future holds!
I agree with this comment. This channel should have WAY more subscribers. Mad skills here! Keep it up :)
Agreed . . . 100%!!
Holly molly ! Amazing
I just found this channel and was wondering the same damn thing... very well done videos with excellent presentation. Well f@#$...

Thanks so much! I love making these projects and videos, more coming soon 😊
Definitely worth the extra work! Love love love a custom display box 💜
thanks! I didn't realize how much that custom acrylic case would add until it saw it at the end. I'm glad I did it :)
I'm a WW2 modeler. Tanks mostly but I have wanted to start putting them in diagrams of the European theater. These videos were incredible, and very helpful. Thanks 👍

Awesome! Not only your diorama, but your editing skills! Well done and very entertaining!
I appreciate your story telling technique. Entertaining and upbeat.
One of the best crafting channels. Your work is so good! And your videography and editing are second to none.

Absolutely love your art... tutorial or not... you fricken CRUSHED it...
This is one of the best waterfalls i've seen. Hat down.
Wow! Gorgeous and serene. It makes me want to lay in the grass next to the waterfall.
Exciting tips as your crafting gives has great ideas. “ Oops & mistakes” along the way is how we all learn.. fun is what everyone should be having while modeling/crafting.. outstanding case display by the way.
Thanks so much! and I agree, enjoyment above all else :) Thanks for stopping by!
Not too friggin shabby indeed!! Amazing job!!
Just found your channel and I'm blown away. Looking forward to future video. Keep'em coming 👍.
This channel is recently becoming one of my favorites ! Love every aspect from the crafting tips to the great editing! Can't wait to see it grow to a huge audience
Oh gosh thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy it! :)
This channel is criminally undersubbed. Amazing.
Cool edits, quality work and fun commentary!! Solid work 😎 thanks for the content! 😊
Got recommended to me. Apart from the obvious crafting skills, the editing is amazing!
I could watch you spinning that acrylic sheet for 10 minutes straight :D
Thank you for the white water, baking soda tip, I would not have thought of that. The piece looks amazing. 👍
I love the final look of the whole diorama. I also love your production overall. I can't wait to watch more of your vids. They are fun, entertaining, and informative!
Worth it? I'm in awe!🤯 The stag was a perfect finish. But with all that vertical, you could have added a flying hawk. Just kidding, but wow, incredible stuff.
Great production value, storytelling, and final product. Thanks for a lovely watch!

Fantastic work
Just discovered your channel thanks to Lyla Mev (The Mini Witch). Very inspiring work, love it!
Wow, I have no idea how your channel came up in my feed but I’m glad it did. Can’t wait for your next upload. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.
Beautiful build! And that tricky case ended up looking incredible.
Holy crap,how am i just finding you?? Awesome work
The editing always makes me smile. Great craft.
Wow what a cool idea! Well done on the dedication to nail the fit of that acrylic!
Very clean finish on that acrylic, great job. It's a great diorama!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful. A lot of steps, but the result is excellent. Nicely done
super happy to see how you make your waterfall, I have been struggling with which medium to use for my project and as you know, when you have so much time invested in the structure of a project, you don't want to mess it up with an ugly waterfall. Thanks for your advise and I like your spirit!
Great work, congratulations for showing this marvel, greetings from Spain
Lots of really fun transitions like from the screen to the printed model in your hand, super satisfying build!
From one Canuck to another very talented one .......... well done.
That's seriously some incredible work! So many skills!
I really enjoyed this - you seem to have a very wide array of skills.
The quality of the build and the editing on the video is amazing! I'm inspired to start working on some more terrain after seeing this. I hope you have all the success with UA-cam and continue making videos!
That's awesome to hear! Terrain seemed daunting to me at first but once I got my hands in there I fell in love with it! Best of luck to you on your journey 😊😊
That water looks amazing. Love how your editing is improving leaps and bounds every video - awesome work!
That is beautiful. I will have to apply these techniques when I begin my scale model train table. Thank you!
Oh my god. You've got to be in the gaming or filming industry on how you sculpted that stag. Not to mention all the vfx. Superb really! New big fan right here :)
This video was super fun to watch! Just found this channel a few days ago, and it's quickly becoming a new favorite. The quality of the final product & the video are both excellent. Keep up the great work!
Outstanding work, very inspiring!!!
This came out sick dude!!!
Excellent video Geordie! Your editing is fantastic and so so fun to watch!
Thanks Nick! 😊😊
Your videos are great quality. Love your channel. I hope it grows like crazy.
My thought about the acrylic/print joint is you could print a groove instead of the ledge. The depth of the groove would give you a margin for error in the cutting of the acrylic
Haha thank you! And yeah that would have been a much better idea, I didn't think it through very much before I started 😅
@@Geordiecrafts well you didn't let it stop you either!
Glad to see you came back to this, I definitely will use the rock formation how to from the previous video and the tip on adding dyes!
You are so funny yet so crafty! First time watching you I had to subscribe to you! Thank you!
New sub here. Love your work. Great job. I'm wanting to remake some old mine sites. It'd be awesome for my RCs!
You got another subscriber to your channel. Love your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your talent.
*_Very good job!_*
*_I hope you'll come back soon and make more?_*
Great video as always. I'm glad you persevered, it's amazing!
Excellent work, Geordie! This is informative and entertaining; your editing skills are tight!
This was so good! I especially enjoyed the edit where you snatched the stl out of the screen. This must have taken a long time to put together so well done!
Lyla the mini witch sent me over here. And im very glad she did! Keep up the good work!
Really snappy and entertaining Video style. Love it
Another wonderful diorama!! Amazing work.

Amazing work! Been working up the courage to try resin pouring in my builds, you make it look effortless! :)
Incredible! It takes a lot of courage to just decide you're going to 3D print a stag - you did it, and very successfully. I'm in awe... (Also, your video editing skills are outstanding.)
Nice work.
The end result looks awesome!
I would add an tree at the top to finish it off as the top looks a bit bare?
The lamp idea does look good though 👍
Great job.

Great work! Those waterfalls look really good. It all looks so good
Your work is awesome. I'm a new subscriber just getting started in my own train layout and this is some great tips thanks for sharing
Worth it for sure! Great job and thanks for sharing.
Damn. This is at the same level as the heavy hitters in the model making space.
Love the projects, and I love your editing style!

Really great work! For lazercutting- you could totally see if there is a makerspace near you that you could use instead of all that investment
Holly guacamole.......goodness me, young lady. You've got magic hands
Looks amazing! Great editing work as well!
Amazing work!!! Just found your channel and subscribed! Keep up the sweet work
The intro to this video was Oscar worthy! Of course, I'm kidding, but it was funny as f*@#. Love your channel and will check out your other modeling vids.
Terrain piece looks awesome and you got some great filming and editing skills, keep it up!
Beautiful work looks really realistic
This video is just great. So many skills that you have shared with us. Thank you G

Wonderful work! I have new goals with UV resin and waterfalls now :D.
Turned out great! Love it
Damn your good Geordie!!!! Awesome diorama and the video editing is perfect ! I love every second of it ! Very well done on this one ☝️🙌🏼🥳
Another masterpiece, in awe 🫢
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
