This is such a cool project! The amount of cross-referencing you must do between sources to make such a faithful recreation makes my head spin. I love how cool and calm your commentary is, nature documentary vibes 😊 Subscribed so I can follow along with this project!
It certainly keeps progress pretty sedate having to alt tab between reference images. Nature documentary was exactly what I was going for, so I'm glad that came across! Thanks so much!
Great work. I followed your project since you started posting on the official forum (and in the past months only frequented the forum to see if you posted an update :D). I am so exited that you make videos now.
Wow, this is quite cool. I love all the facts you have with the tour. The style of the video is super relaxing and informative. I'm definitely going to be following this project!
i love the walk thru videos over the build videos. i know id like to see more videos with just the walk thru style using just the in game sounds, like im walking thru the zoo
"So I've made do with ropes..." At around 6:30 I was thinking "ha, funny that you've had to use potted plants as decorations" and then the photograph appears showing... They really did just have potted plants in there
There were thylacines at London Zoo in 1904, so I will be adding them (probably only a placeholder species as I'm a bit scared of mods), but the quagga was already gone by this point - the last one at London Zoo died in 1872, and the last of the whole species died in 1883 (in Amsterdam Zoo)

You've inspired me to make London Zoo 1904. I can literally smell the tea and scones through the screen.

This is so enchanting, peaceful and enlightening. I love this so much, your voiceover is delightful.
*You're* delightful!
You're a natural Ralph! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Oh you charmer
I really like this, can't wait for the next episode!!
I'll try not to make you wait too long, but no promises!
Just stumbled on this project - this is incredible. Great attention to detail and history.
Thanks! Stumble or not, glad to have you here!
This was so interesting! I can only imagine how satisfying it was to rebuild this. Love the history and the narration. Thanks for showing this!
Thanks! It's definitely been interesting seeing it all come together.

Nice to hear you’ve been here from the start! Thanks for tuning in!
This is so delightful - you’ve spent so much time and attention making this perfect!
❤️

Thanks Kate!
This is very interesting, Ralph! Great work
Thank you!
This looks great! The use of the pitchforks for the barrier is absolutely genius
As they say - when life hands you a load of straight metal pieces that are too long, make a fence out of pitchforks. Glad you liked it!

Definitely something I can do once the whole thing's finished - probably be a very long video, mind!
Fantastic job mate!
Thank you!

Palm tree in a pot? It's a completely naturalistic environment!
Love it!
Thanks for the help and inspiration!
This is such an interesting project. My best guess is that the Spanish Pleurodyle might be _Pleurodeles waltl_.
Thank you! Yes, that seems very likely. I might have given it a bit of a scrubby terrarium in that case, but at least it’s got a bit of leaf litter!
will you add the famously housed extinct Quagga and Thylacine
There were thylacines at London Zoo in 1904, so I will be adding them (probably only a placeholder species as I'm a bit scared of mods), but the quagga was already gone by this point - the last one at London Zoo died in 1872, and the last of the whole species died in 1883 (in Amsterdam Zoo)
This could be a update,to make smaller terrariums for bugs,snakes and insects
Definitely a more realistic option for insects than a 4m cube!
@@ralphthestick they could also make large rectangular exhibits for the boas and larger snakes🐍
4mx4mx4m is still a pretty big space for a snake - I don't think there's a single room in my flat with those dimensions!
I love retro zoos!! well apart from the animal welfare.
For sure - I think digitally is definitely the best way to explore the idea!
beautiful ! gg from france
Merci beacoup!
