I feel your pain in playing "spot the differences" between reference shots (a la howl's moving castle's ever-changing details ). We will never know which is the _true true_ furnace, but your hybrid furnace is best furnace
If there is ever a day where something is completely the same in every single reference image, I will truly be shocked! Howl's Moving Castle kinda gets a pass for me though because I don't think I could keep all of those details straight either honestly. Getting to pick your favorite pieces to put on a project is part of the fun!
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it's the box!!! Oh man... your reaction. I'm so touched and pleased that you're happy with it. Thank you so much for sharing it on your channel, that means the absolute world to me. And sorry for being so late to your video! I'm a little out of touch these days with the YT, but glad I at least saw this when I did.
Not at all, I am the one that was incredibly touched that you would send it my way! I mentioned this to you already, but you really did such a fantastic job with the box- the amount of thought you put into it... it's just so well put together. There are so many things I've never had the chance to try before, so let me just say thank you again- I am so incredibly grateful and will do my best to put everything to good use. Also... late? You're absolutely not haha, I appreciate you watching at any time, of course!
Very well done. I wish they would make another avatar movie, but do it right this time. It was such a well-written show
I know they're doing a live action netflix series and I don't know loads about it, but honestly I don't ever really expect them to do the show justice. Part of me feels like it just doesn't work as live action... think I'd rather watch the show again lol
@@MechanicalFiend I mean, the trailer looked pretty good, and if live action One Piece is anything to go by, I think it has potential
They are making a movie and another show in 2025
The actors were garbage
@@kitkat7557 The cartoon series was full of humor and the movie was humorless and serious
Love to see it! I made it in 3D for my game last year and I can only imagine the horrors of angles and curves on this one. Turned out so nice!
Yes! I've been seeing all your updates on instagram, it makes me so happy to see what you've been adding! Definitely a tricky build, but worth it for the cool design. We got there eventually haha! Thank you so much for the kind words, really glad you could enjoy it, of course~
every time I see the parts where you are chilling with some music while working reminds me about what I listen to and how funny it would be to hear hard rock in the background of those scenes.
Oh there is absolutely a decent amount of that as well haha, it's been in a couple of videos. Tbh though I listen to a bit of everything, rock is actually my favorite genre!
Omg, every clip from the show was so perfectly chosen!!😂😂 perfection 👌👌🤌
Could have sat there adding clips all day, the show is ingrained in my head because I've seen it so many times haha! Glad you could enjoy it~
Flameo hotman! What a terrific build. Great work. =D
Flameo! Thank you thank you so much, it was definitely a tricky one, but we got there in the end! Glad you could enjoy~
My favourite fictional vehicle is probably the Nautilus from Disney's 2000 Leagues Under the Sea
Oooooo a good one, I love a good submarine design! Though I think actually being in a submarine would be terrifying lol
@@MechanicalFiend Yeah, what with the giant squid attacks and all
What a perfect late Christmas present. Always great to see you again. 😊
I was seriously thinking I could get this out before Christmas and then ran into all sorts of problems in the edit too... a struggle all around, but we got there before the end of the year at least haha! Always happy to see your comments as well my friend~
@@MechanicalFiend better late than never. Always worth waiting for.
So cool!!!!!! I wasn’t expecting you to add Zuko and Sokka to the balloon but I’m so glad they’re there!
They had to be there, of course! I didn't even plan the scale for it, but the balloon ended up being pretty perfect for the figures thankfully!
My favorite fictional vehicle is the one my Aunt made up when she used to tell us stories as kids. It was a winnebago that had 4 different colored buttons in it. The blue button turned it into an airplane, the green into a boat, the white into a helicopter, and the red back into a winnebago.
If I had to pick something other people would also know about, it would either be the magic school bus or the TARDIS.
...I may have a thing for transforming vehicles now that I think of it.
Oooo I love that, gotta love a transforming vehicle! Your aunt sounds amazing haha. Magic school bus and the TARDIS are both fantastic ones as well, I actually didn't even think of the TARDIS for a vehicle, but you're totally right- it absolutely it one. Great picks~
My god your videos make me happy. It's pure dopamine.
Wow funny, I feel the exact same way about your comments! Hahaha that's seriously the biggest compliment ever, so happy to hear you can enjoy them~
What an absolutely amazing craft! All the attention to detail, the little solutions to every tricky part of the project, the mini sokka and zuko 🥺🤏🏻 thank you for your hard work and the lovely end of the year video
Ahhhh thank you, so happy you could enjoy it! This one was seriously a new dilemma at every turn haha, sometimes you gotta make something a few times to get it right. But at least we got there in the end!
First the Air Temple to make use of the room under the shelfs and now a zeppelin the exact same ideas I had but could never realize
Avatar has such good projects for under the shelf haha, this one has been on my list for forever to balance out the shelf!
I love crafting but somehow never thought of combining that with my love for atla/tlok!! This turned out amazing, I am inspired!! ❤️
There are countless super cool project possibilities from Avatar- I always have a few on my list! So happy to hear you are inspired, if you make something I would totally love to see it~
And now I'm crying. We're here because we're here because we're here...
Miigwech
Oh no! Apologies for the tears, my friend! Hope you could enjoy regardless 💜
You are the paper maché sage! Much respect.
Ahhh well that's an absolute honor, thank you! It's a super versatile material and pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it~
Super cool. More avatar the last Airbender builds pls
So glad you could enjoy it! It may be a little while, but there are 100% other Avatar builds on my list that shall be coming one day!
Not always the way with paper machè! And so close to the new year.. So much change I don't know if I'm ready!
Happy 2024 my friend! Hopefully it shall be full of learning and many exciting projects!
Very cool! Makes me want to watch Avatar again.
Right? I rewatched a few episodes specifically for this and now I wanna watch the whole series again haha!
20 degrees here and enjoyed this video with hot coffee.....planning out stages with cardboard ..... nice evening must say....well done.
Oooo well I hope your coffee kept you warm and you could enjoy, sounds like a lovely evening! Thank you for giving it a watch, as always~
This turned out so cool!!! The figures surprised me how the tissue jacket worked out👍
Thank you so much! Tbh it surprised me too, was a little bit dicey before paint, but shockingly worked out alright in the end!
OMGF I literally just came home from a new years eve party thinking about the "that's rough buddy" scene and watched the thing while making a sammic before I turned in and then this? This is cosmic causality.
Sometimes the stars align to give us serendipitous moments! Or maybe that scene just takes up too much of everyone's brains, so it was bound to happen to someone? Hahaha
It's amazing! And I love that you put in the extra effort to make the top part moveable even if it wasn’t really necessary.
Thank you so much! Tbh I can't really help myself- if I think of a movable part, I then can't not do it, even if you won't see it haha!
If you’re going to make a ball/balloon again it recommend trying HD foam (cosplay foam). Little less scary making round shapes, but way less fragile
Papier-mâché is actually surprisingly sturdy when you do enough layers of it- it gets quite hard, but it's also easy to cut, which is kinda ideal. One of the reasons I like using it is because it is just so light, so when I'm hanging stuff like this, it's great. I've never worked with HD foam (unless it's the same as craft foam?), so I don't know if it's also super light!
You could leave little attachment tabs on certain cuts in the future.
I love your work and your entertainment value.
That's actually a great idea, I really should do that for certain pieces. Thank you for mentioning it! Super glad you could enjoy~
Oh wow. This is like super oh diy. What an amazing amount of work you put it. So many channels we see now all use lassr cuters and 3d printers. Awseome job, it looks amazing
Gotta work with what we've got haha! There's a lot of cool stuff you can do with those tools and I love watching those videos, I just prefer recycling and scratch building myself because I find it more fun. Thank you so much for the super kind words, really glad you could enjoy it~
I screamed woensdag i saw the thumbnail. So beautiful was your war balloon❤
Thank you thank you so much! Glad you could enjoy it- a tough one, but a fun challenge!
Very well executed. So glad I found this when I did. Found a plastic steamer model I want to modify as an air ship. The balloon eluded me until now. Had considered a 2ltr pop bottle...
Air ships are definitely tricky! I honestly couldn't think of another way to do it besides this. Hope it works well for your project, that sounds awesome!
i was literally commenting to my partner about how amazing your glamour shots look - it was very cool to see some BTS about what you do to make them look so good!!
Ahhhh that makes me so so happy to hear, seriously I love shooting and editing the final sequences so much. Really glad you could enjoy the whole behind process~
I don’t even have the words to describe how this soothes my soul!!!!! It’s so good!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ahhh well super happy to hear you could enjoy it! Thank you so much~
Oh my lanta this project gave me stress! But finishing it gave me life so thank you friend for sticking with it!! I cant wait to see what you do with water snd earth. Yikes! Hny
Oh yes..fav fictional vehicle has to be the batmobile
Hahaha you and me both, my friend! But hey, we got there eventually! I have quite a few Avatar projects on the list for the future, I'm sure they'll be popping up at some point. Oh the batmobile has to be one of the most iconic fictional vehicles for sure, that's a great one!
make the greatest d&d creature there is-- a scene with a gelatinous cube. Cubes are the best.
She should make a baby displacer-beast, fighting a gelatinous cube. A teeny cube.
Absolutely no offense to the gelatinous cube, but I can't say that is a particularly appealing build for me to be honest haha. Appreciate the suggestion though, I can certainly picture it!
This project really showcased your considerable skills and creativity. xx
Ahhh well thank you so much for saying that, it was a really tricky one! Hope you could enjoy it~
gorgeous!!!! It looks so clean and professional - and your cinematography is astounding as always. Love avatar and love zuko especially - this project rocks!
Thank you so much! Filming the end shots is seriously one of my favorite parts, so much fun! Glad this has reached a big Zuko fan, he has the best redemption arc in any media I've seen. Such a great character!
To smooth your paper mache, have you ever tried a layer of drywall mud over it? I do it often with mine, and over my paper clay. It can be sanded perfectly smooth, sealed with primer and/or woodglue and painted. You can mix it with pva, paint, all kinds of things. Best part about it is you can get it in a powder mix, or premixed in a box at home depot etc for less than twenty bucks. And it's a huge box. If you make sure your hands are clean, you get all the air out of the plastic,.. Twist and fold it over and use a wire tie, then flip the box upside down so the opening is down to store it... It will last forever and not mold or anything. I've had mine like.... Almost two years now. Try it!! I'm always very (I can't stress how very..) broke. So my budget is like... Zero dollars. I love your channel!! Thanks for the inspiration! ❤
I haven't! That's something I'll have to look into, thank you so much for the tip! Is it heavy at all? Because usually I use papier mache because I need the project to be light, so that's always a big factor for me. Sounds really great though! Sometimes I also do a layer of the papier mache mixture over top after without the paper and that often helps smooth it significantly as well. Totally forgot on this one though haha. Not at all, thank you for the inspiration and tips in return! So happy you can enjoy the videos 💜
This looks so good! Your patience is crazy to be able to glue all of the hanging metal supports between the top and bottom of the balloon lol Is it funny that my favorite part is actually the "lid" of the hot air balloon? It kind of reminds me of the lid on a fancy tea pot🫖🍵 I'm sure Iroh would appreciate it too
Oh my God, you're so awesome, intelligent and creative. I'm so glad you have such a passion for an amazing show
Ahhh stop, you're too kind- thank you for saying that! Of course, I'm glad that this has found someone else that has a passion for the show! It's been my favorite piece of media since I was a kid~
I LOVE IT! One of my faves of yours yet. I feel like this could be made into a stunning lamp. Also 0T7 forever. Borahae!
That makes me so happy to hear, glad you could enjoy it! And yes 💜 waiting patiently for 2025~
WOW!!! Thank you for this! I really, really enjoy your videos, because unlike other crafters you show more than the process. The fact that you show, and tell us, how hard some of the parts were and the way your mind works, makes your videos much better than other crafters on UA-cam. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the heck out of Studson's videos but it's just fun to see your mindprocess while going through the build. So all this rambling to say Thank you I love your videos!
As far as favourite fictional vehicle I think Howl's moving castle is by far superior...supposing you can call it a vehicle? Otherwise the Nautilus from Jules Verne.
Ahhh well that is just beyond kind of you to say, I'm so happy to hear that is something that you enjoy about the videos. To be honest, I try to be really true the process whenever possible, but I do often worry in editing that the videos can potentially get monotonous because of that... so I appreciate hearing that so much. Thank you!
Absolutely, Howl's Moving Castle 1000% counts and I agree with you there for sure- both great designs~
I always love seeing your videos, and watching how you do your reveal shots is so cool! I know nothing about lighting or editing, so it's cool to see someone that uses both extensively talk about it.
As always, you are an absolute rock star and I'm so happy this channel exists. I also love that you keep in snippets of you singing, because that's such a great snapshot of what creating things is actually like. It's just a chill moment between you and your music while you're working, and it's probably one of my favorite parts of making things (second only to actually finishing them).
Happy new year and thank you so much for all the inspiration you've given me!
Ahhh thank you so much, that makes me the happiest to hear! Shooting the final shots is so much fun, so I'm always glad to hear it's interesting for people!
Ahhhh you are seriously too kind, that's totally it- I try to be true to the process in the videos, so gotta include some working and listening to music considering that's at least 85% of it haha!
A happy 2024 to you as well and hope it brings lots of inspiration your way! And just thank you for all the nice words as well, they give me a great deal of inspiration in return, so I appreciate it more than I can express~
My favorite aspect of your entire channel is the “fan girl” aesthetic, like showing off the awesome box from RTH and homage to Studson, yet you’re still an incredibly experienced and skillful crafter in your own right. Really makes things empowering and inspirational
I really try and credit people as much as possible because I constantly draw so much inspiration from all the super cool people making stuff here on youtube. The community is without a doubt the coolest part of making stuff and it's something I feel extremely lucky to be a small part of! Ahh, thank you for saying that, appreciate the kind words so very much 💜
Geez, this is amazing!! YOU are amazing! I'm about to make a Blue Spirit action figure, and I hardly find Avatar DIY stuff around here. I loved what you did on the Baloon, the mini Zuko and Sokka... WOW! And also the Air Temple was incredible! Thanks for bringing Avatar DIYs to YT! 😍
Woooooah yes! I am so into a Blue Spirit action figure, totally send it my way when you're finished if you want to share! Love seeing Avatar crafts! Really happy you could enjoy it my friend, thank you so much for all the super kind words~
@@MechanicalFiend Sure thing I'll come tell you when the video is on, it'll be a makeover of another action figure, hope you like it!! I'll post in my channel here close to the live action premiere date, if all goes right, hehee...
Have a great week, mate, and thak you too for being so sweet and answering! 🥰
Damn, i wish i had just a piece of your patience... Great work once more!
I truly think patience is pretty much the only thing you need when building miniatures haha, thank you so much, as always~
Love this! Your patience for papier mache - I don't get it. Can't stand it! But is serves you well. I am so glad you are reaching 100K and getting attention and kits/gears from other crafters. You are top tier as far as I'm concerned and very deserving of the things you've received. Can't wait to see what you make in 2024 with those tiny rocks!
Once you do a few projects with papier mache, it becomes quite an easy method for many things in my opinion (especially if you're doing it over a base). But hey, different methods work for different people, the fun thing about crafting is that there are so many different ways to make something! Ahh well that is all so very kind, thank you as always! There are just so many incredibly kind and talented people in the community, I feel lucky to be a small part of it. Can't wait to see anything you make in 2024 as well, I saw you got covid recently, but hope you are feeling a little better and recovering! And wishing you all the health the rest of the year~
Excellent job!!!! Love the pipes and the use of tea light so clever!!!
Thank you so much! The tea light looked better than I expected tbh, the flickering threw off some really nice light!
I'm really enjoying this glimpse into the practice of another crafter with an elusive knife and a helpful orange assistant.
Still haven't found the knife yet, but I'm sure it'll turn up soon. And of course, wouldn't be able to make things without my little assistant~
Wow! Great work! As for fictional vehicles: Flintstones car, The Munsters Kouch, Ghostbusters Station Wagon, or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
Thank you so much! Ooooo yes, all such good ones! Love the variety, I forgot just how many cool different fictional vehicle designs there are!
Such a beautiful build!!! Gotta love that paper mache!!! 😊😊😊
I honestly have no idea how I would have done the balloon without papier mâché! Glad you could enjoy it~
Oh my goshhhh! this was an amazing project and your reaction at the kit, soo adorable
Ahhh so happy you could enjoy it, thank you so much! I am so grateful to Neil for the kit, you have no idea 😭 so many things in it I've always wanted to try!
when i was a kid, my dad made some Charlie Brown and Lucy pinatas for a kindergarten Halloween party by covering balloons in paper mâché
this was WAY better
Yes! The pinatas! I think a lot of people did crafts paper mâchéing a balloon like that when they were a kid too. This is just a little more of a detailed version of that haha~
@@MechanicalFiend i just received an email that this show has been added to Netflix and it made me think of you
The project turned out beautiful and I can't imagine the amount of skill that went into it, but it's hard to take the reveal completely seriously when the tiny Sokka and Zuko look so goofy! They're just little fellers!!
Well hey, we're almost never serious on this channel, so that's all good with me haha! If you can laugh at the figures being silly, that's a success in my books!
@@MechanicalFiend Glad to hear it, haha ^^
Oh hell yeah, another Avatar video! Loved all the functioning pieces of this project like the light for the furnace, the spinning propeller, and the lid on top. I’ve always loved the quality of your videos, and really enjoyed watching that little behind the scenes at the end of the video.
Of course, there has to be! There's been a few on my list for years now! The functioning pieces are just too fun to add, even if they are often unnecessary haha! Ahh well I appreciate that so much, glad to hear that the behind part could be interesting because that's one of my favorite parts of the whole process~
I love Avatar! The balloon does looks like a fun project to do. I think it came out great!
Have you ever tried to bend any wood into shape yet? Usually it requires steam for quite a bit, but smaller pieces like the Popsicle sticks id feel would take less time?
Looking forward to more projects. Happy new years!
It was definitely a super fun challenge! I haven't tried to bend wood, to be honest I don't really have anything that steams, so... I think that would be an issue haha! But maybe in the future, I'll keep it in mind for sure. A happy 2024 to you as well, hope it is at least a little kinder than the last~
Ngl, I cried right along with you when you opened that craft box. I love getting new materials, but growing up I didn't have a lot of money. It's just something I never take for granted. Plus your excitement was contagious. 🥰
Absolutely, I've always worked with whatever I already have rather than buying new supplies mostly, so getting that many things at once was quite overwhelming frankly. I am so so grateful to Neil for sending it my way, it was beyond kind!
All is perfect, even the reveal is incredible, Bravo!!!!
Worked super hard on the project reveal, it was a tricky one to edit! So happy you could enjoy, thank you for all the kind words, of course~
Great work, young lady
Thank you so much, glad you could enjoy~
I think it turned out great! The fire symbol looks awesome. So fun to hear Tae singing in the background! Borahae!! 💜
So happy you could enjoy! Of course, I've been loving all of their solo work a lot and am excitedly waiting for 2025 💜
That is a fantastic build! You may see the details that are not perfect, but most people won't notice. You are so talented, not only in crafting miniatures, but in the filming and editing of your projects. Are you going into the film industry after school?
I'm glad that Neil from RealTerrainHobbies sent you the kit. I watched his video where he showed everything in the kit. Wow, there is so much cool stuff in it. Even though I haven't made anything in miniature yet, I was tempted to order the kit. I can't wait to see what you make with the items in the kit. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much! You are totally right, I know that most people don't notice a lot of the little things, but I can't help but be aware of them. That said, I think it's good to reflect on what you can improve on in the future and I'm honestly really happy with how it turned out in the end regardless!
I actually already work in film/video freelance as I've been out of school for quite a few years now! I would love to work on some stop motion stuff one day though!
Totally, he seriously thought the kit through so much. It really does have pretty much everything you need to build miniatures, especially if you're just starting out. He really packed everything in there too, it's unbelievable just how much is included. Happy New Year to you as well, here's to hoping the year can be even a little bit kinder~
This was done so well, what an AMAZING job!!!
Ahhh well so happy to hear you thought so, thank you! Glad you could enjoy~
This video kickstarted my year, thank you! As Varus Miniatures said to me, model making is about vibe, not accuracy, and I couldn't agree more. This build truly has the vibe! Also your lighting trick for the balloon making was very clever!
Well hey, thanks for starting 2024 with the video haha! Totally, I think so long as everything comes together somehow, complete accuracy doesn't matter so much. Though let's be real, the most important part is that it's a fun challenge to work on!
Spectacular work! Can't wait to see what you make next.
So glad you could enjoy, thank you! It'll be coming to you much sooner than this one haha~
Such good work, the attention to detail in your crafting amd editing for the videos is wonderful.
I would like to see you create either the Catbus or Jurassic Park RV. 🙂
Ahhhh you are just too kind, thank you! Ooooo I love the designs of both of those very much, not sure if I'll end up making them or not, but will definitely keep them in mind for the future~
Very cool! You worked hard at it and it looks great! I liked the little video at the end, and it was totally worth it to have a rotating propeller!
Thank you so much! Totally, I love having random unnecessary moving parts, but it ended up working out well for some shots as well. Really glad you could enjoy~
Despite looking pretty dodgy throughout, I think it turned out amazing. I am repeatedly blown away by what you accomplish with the most basic tools and materials.
If it's not looking like a mess halfway through, quite honestly it wouldn't be one of my projects hahaha! Thank you so much! It was a struggle this time around, but we got there eventually~
Favourite vehicle might be the giant mecha-spider from Wild Wild West. Mad respect to you for making a detailed airship. I believe you when you said this may have been your most challenging project. I made a large paper and wireframe one years ago. Never again.
Oooooo I was not familiar with that, but that is sooooo cool! I love anything that's a spider tbh haha, thank you for putting that in front of my eyeballs. Totally, airships are extremely difficult, I went into it thinking it would be tricky, but wow! They look easier to build than they actually are. I can imagine a wireframe would be super difficult, that's why I ended up going the papier-mâché route~
This is so amazing!!! Fantastic work with the filming and effects too, loved seeing more of your process!
I love the airship designs in Avatar/Korra, but honestly my favorite fictional aircraft have got to be the ones Miyazaki designed for Nausicaa, Laputa, and Porco Rosso! There are so many tiny details!
Thank you so much, so happy you could enjoy everything, of course! Oh totally, aircraft are so prevalent in all his work and you can clearly see how much he loves them. Such beautifully detailed designs!
Anything with the avatar is a yes 🙌🏻 ❤
Hahaha 100% agree with you there, there's quite a few Avatar projects on my list!
The lighting AND colors !! Love this episode sm, I learned a lot 🩷🩷🩷
Oh and my Fav fictional vehicle is probu Zim's Voot cruiser 🥰
Ahhh that makes me so happy to hear, really glad you could enjoy it! This one was a blast to film for sure. Oooooo that is such a good one, the colors in that show are unmatched- love it!
She did it alright 😊
After all the struggle, I will certainly take that as a win. Thank you!
@@MechanicalFiend ya so what will you do next
This build was AMAZING! Made me want to rewatch Avatar
There's never a bad time to rewatch Avatar! So happy you could enjoy~
Awesome 👍👍👍👍, 2 thumbs stolen from neighbor, didn't need them. Looking forward to the next video. Happy New Year🎉🎉
Well hey, glad both you and your neighbor's thumbs could enjoy lol! Thank you so much, hope you have a great 2024 as well~
Wow, genius move to paper mâche a REAL balloon for the basic shape! Also, your editing is perfection as always!! And seeing your filming behind the scenes is so cool bc I've always wondered how you get those amazing shots of the final project in the end! Thanks for sharing another beautiful craft! :O
It's Fantastic! See you next year & Happy New Year.
Thank you so much! Indeed, happy 2024, hope it shall be even just a little kinder to everyone!
Really enjoy when your vids pop up on my sub box!
Ahhh that makes me so happy to hear! Apologies that it doesn't happen too often, I'm trying to improve my workflow and get things done quicker- one day!
The Last Foam Bender. Your closing montage is suberb! You created some really beautiful visuals!
Ahhhh thank you so much, I always love shooting and editing that part, so it's great to hear you could enjoy it~
This is how we end the year and start a new one! Looking great so far, just remember to trust the process, Pac-Man.
Amazing work, Devon! And the dancing was top tier! I cannot wait to see what happens when you discover plasticard and plastic glue one day. I enjoyed seeing the practical effects portion as well. Wonderful job on the characters too.
Usually trusting the process isn't too hard, but this one really tested me haha! Thank you so much, glad you could enjoy, as always! I do know of plasticard as I think I've seen Bill (Making Stuff) use it quite a bit in some great ways. The only thing is that as much as I can, I try my best not to buy plastic to use in projects. If it's recycled from packaging or something broken then I'm all for it, but I'd rather use as little new plastic as possible.
@@MechanicalFiend that's fair enough. Since I do a lot of 3D printing I don't tend to think about it, though I do need to get a plastic shredder and filament maker though. There are also some decent veg-plastic alternatives, but I'm not sure on their costs.
Hobby crossover! Hobby crossover! Comfy crafts meets wargaming crafts!
Ehhh it's all miniatures at the end of the day, no? Who says you can't wargame with a Studio Ghibli build? Hahaha
Im a huge fan of the show, so seeing this made me very happy! It turned out amazing, you really can be proud of yourself :)
Yes! I will always be so happy to reach other Avatar fans, it's probably my favorite piece of media period. Thank you so much, glad you thought it did it even a little justice~
That was a fantastic video. You combine many different artistic skills into each video and the final product is always great. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Thank you so much, as always! One of the reasons I love making these so much is because you get to do so many different things- from building the project, to filming it, to editing. I love it all, so I am very grateful to be able to make stuff like this. Thank you for always coming along for the ride with me by watching the videos~
i was really hoping you’d do another avatar craft. you did such a good job on their mini figures!!
Of course! Always have to do another Avatar project, it's my absolute favorite! And thank you so much! Tbh the figures went better than I thought they would from what I was starting with haha
Very neat. Thank you for sharing.
Not at all, thank you for giving it a watch!
Your skills are scary good, well done
Ahhh well that is too kind, I'm obviously still like S1 Aang with a lot to learn haha, but thank you for saying that!
@@MechanicalFiend Don't sell yourself short friend you have talent and it's beautiful
Your reaction to the Builders kit its so awesome to watch!! And, again, a perfect craft like alway.s Love who youshow us when rebuilds are necessary, its a way to remember everyone that does art crafts that sometimes we need 2, e, 4 trys to make it work
Ahhh well I really am just so grateful to Neil, there's so many things in the kit that I've always wanted to try! So glad you could enjoy it my friend, as always! Totally, sometimes you have to make several iterations of a piece to get it right, just gotta keep trying~
This is amazing. Well done!
Thank you thank you! Appreciate it so much, really glad you could enjoy~
Wonderful work! I had no idea there were so many aspects to filming.
Off the top of my head Kaneda’s bike from Akira is a solid fantasy vehicle.
Thank you so much! I hardly show half of what goes into the videos, there are so many aspects to production! It's a blast though~ Oooooo that's a really good one, super cool design!
Stopped in for avatar, but the SLY COOPER VAN? You're just building my entire childhood huh
Yours and mine both my friend! All the best stuff haha, hope I'm doing them at least a tiny bit of justice.
Love this so much! Wonderful job! Now I have to go watch the show again lol. Hope you had a great holiday season!
So happy you could enjoy it! Yes, exactly! Every time I do a project from this and watch a couple episodes for reference, I always want to do a full rewatch- it's just too good! Hope you had lovely holidays as well and happy 2024~
This is so cool!! If you wanted to try Water you could do the submarines during the invasion or the northern water tribe? Luv it :33
So glad you liked it! I actually have quite a few other Avatar projects on my list that hopefully will get built in the future! Always lots of fun things to make from it~
Great work and amazing art as always...it.would be great if you create the TOWN HALL from THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE XMAS so you'll have the perfect match for the house of Jack Skellington
Ahhh well so happy you could enjoy, as always! That would definitely be a fun one! It's not currently on my list (which tbh is quite long), so if I ever do end up making that, it would likely be quite far in the future, but I appreciate the suggestion a ton~
Does a moving castle count as a vehicle? XD If not, probably the scooby van cause Nostalgia.
Also damn you put so much effort into your projects! Like legit, I've seen crafters with ten times the budget put in half the effort of these builds--the editing, the shots, the commentary, all are top-notch and really show that effort matters so much more than money.
That said, wish I could give more on patreon! D: Money's tight, but I'll throw what I can at artists who really put in the work. Hope your holidays went well!
I mean it does technically transport people and move, so it should count, no? Oooo I love the Mystery Machine so much, someone sent me a miniature version they did of that a while back and it was so cool! The colors are fantastic. Of course, gotta put as much effort as I can into the projects! Seriously, while there are obviously struggles and parts you just gotta push through in every build, as a whole everything in the projects and videos is so much fun to work on. So if anything, I feel incredibly lucky to be able to make stuff like this.
Not at all, oh my goodness! I appreciate the support on patreon more than I can say, but it's always more than enough that you even watch the videos in the first place. Thank you so much and hope you had a lovely holiday season as well and shall have a wonderful 2024~
Looks amazing. Great work.
Ahh well really glad you thought so, thank you so much!
She is so talented!
Ahhh well that's very kind of you to say, thank you 💜
OMG so excited about this video, it all looks so amazing!
Hope you can enjoy it my friend~
Wonderful build. I wish you the greatest year 2024! 🙂 You're the bestest!
And I wish you an absolutely fantastic 2024 in return, thank you so much! Always super happy to hear you can enjoy~
ooh fave fictional vehicle has to be ART from the Murderbot Diaries - a know-it-all sentient spaceship I created in minecraft once
I'm not familiar with all of those, but from what I can tell (looking some of them up haha), those are all super cool choices! You've reminded me that I've been meaning to watch Good Omens forever, I gotta do that!
Absolutely stunning work, as always!! Always makes my day to see you've posted!
Ahhhh my friend, seeing your comments always makes me so happy as well! Always glad you can enjoy, I really do hope I can get to a point where my workflow is more efficient and the videos won't have quite as long in between~
It looks awesome!!🥰
Thank you so much 💜
Incredible work!
Thank you so much 💜
Impressive work, especially considering the materials used :)
Thank you! Had to make sure I stuck with super light materials so it could hang on the shelf at the end~
she made a balloon out of a balloon. I’d say that was the right choice of materials.
