I wanted to customize my PlayStation 5, and so I decided to turn it into a Lord of the Rings style Dwarven Kingdom, with lava effects and everything! Hope you'll enjoy!

Pinning a post about thermals, as there are so many engaged commenters. The airflow is unobstructed, but if it becomes a problem we'll just pop it off. This is just attached to the faceplates, it can be swapped out at any moment :) Maybe don't do the same thing unless you don't know what you're doing. Insulating your PS5 is not recommended.
I am Challenging you to work on the dream closet and design please.
That thing is more covered than a nun's ass.
Ha fair, it is literally the first thing I thought about when I saw you pull out the foam.
You're setting a new trend, better not give these companies new ideas lol.
I would love to see an update video on how this runs and if it has any overheating issues, my cats sleep on top of my tv cabinet while my ps5 is running because it’s output air is so warm and they love it. Love the design would love to see if it overheats or can run fine with all the additions
At this point I would love for you guys to direct/film/make props for a fantasy movie. You’re on Hollywood production level 🙌
Holy shit can you imagine something like Willow or Dark Crystal with Martina's work?!? * BRAINMELT *
@@InservioLetum Hollywood cannot afford her.
More like Hollywood doesn't *deserve* her lol
Technically, they did make props for a movie. 🤔 That chest she got the plans out of in the beginning was made specifically for a movie which also features some of her earlier projects as well. Yes, it was an independent short film but it was still a movie. 😅
We can all agree on that one
I think the time clock deserves an upgrade. Its now a main character in every video. It deserves to look speldid
And a little tuning, the arms are not properly aligned 😮
replying because YES making the Clock look fantasy epic would be a cool thing to see.
Omg such a good idea !!!! Please do it !!!
Another fantastic build
Yes! Voting for this 😃
My favorite part of this video is the fact that you did all this before even setting up the playstation
It's not the destination... it's the journey...😁
and she did all this to play horizon. W girlfriend
😂
Am intrigued as well
The medieval/fantasy theme builds you make are seriously on another level with every detail, awesome build!
lord of the rings kinda vibe
It's amazing how you turn "normal" things into this fantastic stuff!!
PS5’s RAM can reach 92 degrees, dangerously close to the 105C threshold most electronic pieces have.
Amazing job but i fear overheating :\
@@sgtmatrix check pinned comment
I wonder if the timelapse clock will soon get the treatment 😆😆
The Funny Thing Is She Just Never Plays Her PS5 I Mean She Has One Of The BEST
Hobbies Also It's Like Whole Keyboard
Situation With Her Pinkie So YYEEAAH
The Controller Is Much Harder Because
Ya Need All Fingers To Play It 😅
I believe William deserves a raise, shaking himself into a frenzy for those pilar patterns, poor boy!🤣
A brick helps. Ok the "hack" is more for like 3d printers where putting them on rubberized pads on a concrete slab helps with shaking and vibraion. But casting a concrete table for the laser cutter sounds like a project :D
@@unpaidintern6652 they can turn it into a "We made William a birthday present!" video🤣
The production value and camerawork alone makes this channel worth it. The art pieces are just an even bigger cherry on top.
That excited/triumphant "he heeee!" when something is finally put together is so satisfying.
William deserves a raise! such a loyal and hardworking employee!
Too anyone reading this...

@@spaniel5657 god damn it, I was on a streak of like 4-5 months
I'm constantly blown away by not only the work you do, but the production quality of your videos. It's beautiful insanity and I love it.
It's just amazing how you can turn basic materials into gold! I mean Mithril! What a talent, it's crazy! Congratulations :D
That ps5 is gonna be as hot as it looks.
Still holes to allow heat to exit
Don't you ever get tired of being amazing? This is yet another awesome build, both in conception and execution! Great job!
Nerd Forge should be a TV show, it’s so damn good and always makes me want to create something. There used to be art shows on TV after school here in the UK such as one called Art Attack. It really encouraged and inspired me to draw unlike my boring Art Teacher at school. I love this channel.
Why have a TV show when we can have a TH-cam show 😄😄
@@Nerdforge TH-cam/internet videos >>>>>>> TV
Exactly what I thought. This is what I want to see when I turn on the TV.
This came to my mind because the videos are made like shows we loved to see but dont run on tv nowerdays.
I think I just miss the good old times where tv wasnt full of shit …
Do you know what I mean?
Anyways.
Perfectly done.
A pleausure to watch!!
Stay safe and healthy!
Best wishes from Germany 😊
Ah, Art Attack triggers some nostalgia in some of us. But yes, I'm with Martina on this, I think TH-cam can reach more people right now than Tv, at least where I live
There is still people who watch TV 🤯
So when you guys were pulling the dwarf figures out I thought you were frying chicken nuggets in the middle of the project and coupled with the epic music I cackled!
The PS5 turned out amazing!! The line of Durin would be very proud!
i thought i was the only one lmao hahahah
Do you guys ever get tired of being AWESOME? I just love watching your builds, your energy, and you fuel my creativity . . . constantly!!! Thank you guys, great job on the build and the episode!
i don't like it.
As I watch more of your videos, one of the things I really like about them is the way you make it clear that these projects take *time*. I feel like a lot of hobby crafter types struggle with that - the world feels like everything should happen quick, and building something yourself just isn't. Having channels like this that show how long tasks can take even for skilled people helps set more reasonable expectations, I think.
WOW!!! The idea of this is super mindblowing!! To create the rock landing to stop the lava flow so you can access the controls is genius and looks utterly amazing!!! I love the elven soldiers and the paint on them is perfection!!! Great job again!!!
I agree she did an amazinggg job love it! 👏🏽👏🏽😍👌🏽💯
Do you mean those elven soldiers who look a lot like dwarves? In the dwarven kingdom she made?
Elven?
I'm just absolutely floored to be honest. You and your boyfriend are literally bringing what I thought as fantasy into the real world. Your craftsmanship, attention to detail and art aesthetic is simply other worldly. Thank you so much for making what you do. This is beyond inspirational to see. I don't really have any words that I feel would do this masterpiece justice. Simply incredible
I just love Martina's ability to turn the mundane into the otherworldly. Could you, perhaps, make something inspired by The Name of the Wind? Like a diorama of The Underthing or maybe forge Folly? That'd just completely kick-ass 💜
Nerdforge is just what I needed to motivate me to draw
I still can't draw.
Lopsided Stickmen continue.
life is rpg and you can level up your drawing skills. and dont fear mistakes, enjoy your artwork. art working with feels, emotions, nothing minds. if you drawing stresfull, u cannot gain motivation.
Same
the wholesome yet chaotic gremlin energy in every single one of your videos is just so relatable and beautiful and you're SO FRICKIN TALENTED!!!
For centuries we've been here standing on the edge of hell, facing danger, fighting enemy after enemy, we left our families for just one purpose and one purpose only to protect this land.
we don't remember our lives before we're here but the only thing we remember is that the Pink-Headed Queen created us to keep this land safe for its people.
No matter lava, dragons or even monsters we'll always be here not because it is our duty, it is our home.
for PlayStation 5.
my story for this little city you built ♥ you did a fantastic job and you inspired me to write this ♥
I just got my PS5 4 days ago and planning on getting the black plates for it... Then here you are taking the customization to a whole other level! Amazing work!
The black face plate does look good. Thought about ordering one myself. But ever since I went out and bought my 2022 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. I forgot I own a PS5, lol.
I can't stop driving everywhere in it.
@@steadycuzzin5813 W?
@@guitargaming2795 ?
@@steadycuzzin5813 he's saying you're 'W'inning. AKA winning in life. Cheers and congratulations on that Dodge Challenger, be safe on the roads!
@C. Augustine Thank you, and I'm learning to slow down more in it. At first, all I wanted to do was speed in it because it's weird owning a car that can do 180mph, lol.
Tbh cars shouldn't be allowed to go this fast. But it sure is a ton of fun.
As your fans all know you are an extremely talented maker, painter, artist and sculptor. And Hansi is excellent at all the behind the scenes stuff, but seriously, your videos are getting ridiculously entertaining. I love this project and you guys❣️🗿 🎨 🏰 💕
One does not simply use the controller without plugging it in first.
Beautiful set up. Gimli would be proud.
I LOVE that you used your previous chest build to show us the plan!
I hope you worked out the air flow and the overheating issues you might encounter after this build! Considering that it’s a model around a piece of tech!
Also the amount of effort you put into this video is amazing. You and your team are amazing!
lol my thoughts exactly the whole time i was watching this video
@@erwinhernandez5264 same here
Hello guys here to put your minds at ease in case you guys didn't know the airflow for the ps5 comes out of the backside of the console their design uses the front and side of the console but from what I can tell they didn't do anything to the back side of the playstation to ensure that the airflow is still possible so it doesn't have any sort of overheating issues
@@minecraftsnyder4223 I really thought that it would have one as the front and top part of the PS5 is completely blocked. But good to know that it doesn't seem to pose any problems.
Same thing I wanted to say . 😂😂
Looks fantastic. I was hoping to see more of the thought process. My favorite part is the underglow paint effect on the dwarven statues. It's impressive how something so slight can be so major on the finished piece. All in all, a very inspiring project. Thanks for sharing.
Look, I've silently loved every single thing you make, but this hits such a sweet spot for me because I absolutely love Dwarven architecture. This is my favourite thing you've done. Wow!!
First video I've watched of yours in a long time. You seem so much more comfortable in front of the camera and the video quality has improved so much. Fantastic video. Congratulations.
YOO The lava looks so good!! At first I was really confused about how you were planning to make it look good but at the end it looks absolutely phenomenal!!
All of it is fantastic
Your content inspires me to do my own diy. I love everything you do. You are awesome. Your content is always the best and I love to see it. Keep creating! Your work should be on a magazine or Guinness world records because you’re so talented! Slay 💅
im in love with the idea and the way it turn out. Its so magestic and the lava turn out reallllly wellll. Just wow
Crazy impressive. The lava sounds at the end is a marvelous touch.
Words cannot describe how freaking awesome this is!!
stupid. overheating
I love how it just looks so good on camera that my brain still thinks the lava's moving just beneath the surface
I randomly found this video from a completely unrelated one, and my current Wind Rose binge meant I *had* to see it.
Glad I did! This channel is amazing, instant subscribe!
I can't help but wonder what early humans would have thought had they seen this masterpiece. Like going from blundering around and discovering fire to this blows my mind.
They'd probably grunt and hit it with a stick... or they'd worship it.
i think about this daily and it blows my mind every time
@@CDPW Early humans were not dumb. May be not accustomed to modern things, but very curious beings; smart also. They are probably smarter than the current average population. They would figure things out.
Haha discovering fire to this really gave me an overwhelming feeling of perspective. That’s wild AF
@Mansory811 They had higher G and humanity is currently experiencing a reverse flynn effect where people are actually getting dumber and viewing Gen Alpha that's only accelerating.
Man, I am SO glad my TH-cam homepage recommended this video for me! Usually I speed up videos to watch, but this one I didn't and I was hooked right from the beginning to the end! Keep making great content! The world needs more artists, and I love that I found more artists to engage with!
That’s crazy because I am the exact opposite. Absolutely pissed that you tube recommended this absolute waste of time.
Love it!! My only concern with the PS5 would be venting/cooling. It looks like the lava flow is blocking the intake vents.
I thought so, too. And with the foam maybe isolating aswell.
@@SuccubusSelene On the sides around the head there is a gap through which air also passes
My only concern was that it's a actual ps5..cuz Playstation..eewww lol
@@juriaan13and why is PlayStation "eww" ? As a owner of both PS4 and Xbox s, they really feel the same, but Xbox has more indie games. Only difference. Please show your work. I'm sure that your teacher tells you that all the time.
@@hunterchichester5720 Playstation is purely for 14 year Olds in their moms basement playing callmof duty
i am scared about the heating issues, stay strong ps5
For anyone wondering I looked it up and the Mordant Earth Citadel paint just does that effect itself on the painted acrylic slabs. Very cool effect, definitely easier to do with a sort of natural drying process instead of doing it by hand. I had to play back the video and look it up because I was just like... Why did it do that, that is so cool. Whole build very cool, best console decoration for sure.
This turned out great. My favourite part is honestly the "pre-baked" light effects on the statues
“Yo bro bring your PS5 when you sleep over!!!”
“ABOUT THAT….💀”
Joking aside,epic build dude🤘🏻
the ammount of work she puts into her videos are so far above any other channel i watch. amazing work!
This woman just blows my mind with every video, love her enthusiasm and creative energy ❤
the lava plates placed near the doors are so realistic! I would have gone bonkers if the lavafall also resembled the same. but you did a great job. it looks amazing
I always wonder if this does affect the airflow or if any parts of the construction melt because of the heat.
I was JUST wondering about the same thing.
exatly
@hugh1766 it looked like the vents were totally open when you it from the back
Same.
I thought the same
I always wonder what effect does it have on cooling. But it looks awesome ^^
Same here!
We always make sure to leave the air vents open, so probably not much!
Where do you think the Lava is coming from ? :)
@@Nerdforge There are vents all around the top and bottom side (under Lava) and the bottom of the console - hence it comes with a stand - as this is where the cool Air is sucked in - the rear is Just Exhaust to get rid of warm air - so you have blocked the cool air intakes or at least restricted them...
Real nice now make your ps5 controller de same
The only thing...venting....did you not cover much venting? Did you add a bottom fan or ability for air flow?
I love seeing you use tools and techniques that I know I'll never use myself. It's a way of seeing magic done. The foam in the laser cutter (if that's what that is) was especially fascinating in this video. Plus the several steps needed to make the translucent lava. That one is actually something I would love to try someday, if I get the opportunity!
I love it! You asked what we'd like to see next? I'd like to see you customize desks for fantasy/science-fiction writers, looking like the stories leaked out and infused the desk with curious details and secrets. If you wish, you could then auction them off for the charity of your choice at the world science fiction convention.
Great idea! 😃
I think Martina and Hansi are having a lot of fun decorating every day normal stuff... and I love it. Can't wait until they start tackling huge things like their fridge.
Wait... A new ad that I haven't heard of before? 👀
thats great, when she asked what she should do next, I looked at my fridge 🤣. im waiting for them to turn their whole house into a castle or something.
And here i thought slapping a sticker on your playstation made it look cooler
Once again a really neat idea. The cooling lava with the black crackle patches looks fantastic. I like the main lava flow, but to my mind it's too yellow, I would think a more orange look would fit lava better. One thing I wonder about is why the lava is not programmed to appear like it's flowing. Not much of a programmer but if there are a lot of LEDs in there and they are addressable, perhaps a randomizing sub routine could be incorporated into the Arduino program? All in all, it's awesome!
I know they said lava but to me it (and possibly inspired by the dwarves from Tolkein) looks like molten metal rather than molten rock; molten metal (steel/iron) goes to a white-yellow especially when poured like in this build, to then be used for casting - if you want to see; alec steele went to an ironworks recently and filmed it; it shows iron being forged into hot rolled steel and does look a LOT like the 'lava' flowing in this dwarven build. (not sponsored, just a fan)
@@MaxRide1 Molten metal would work. Dwarves do a lot of forging of weapons and what not.
It came out amazing, I just hope you left the air holes so that thing can breath. From the mold it looked like you covered the holes up but it may be the way the camera makes it look, I’m sure you added the air holes . Great job the ps5 looks absolutely stunning.
Yeah that worried me too.. She didnt mention airflow at all, I think this thing will have major overheating issues, but i mean its encased in lava so it only makes sense xD
@@ItsArzee even if the air holes are open is still basically has a jacket thermals wil be bad but it is amazing looking
Martina your "issues" make the world a better place. Also lmao at your "Pyrokinesis for Beginners" shirt! But seriously, that is the most epic case I've ever seen. Major props to you for your patience, focus and creativity.
no
I love that the men of the internet came out and all said the same thing regarding heat dissipation and cooling. So much so that she pinned a response to it.
How long does one video like this take to make from start to finish? These videos are getting to a professional level of quality and you may as well have your own tv show. Keep it up you two!
with it being 18m and it take her so long to get the fake leds to work am sure it take over 5days
@@old-royking considering ideation , references, then designing all the camera shots, lighting, audio& sound, thumbnail , motion graphics, editing, writing/scripting, gathering materials, ad meetings, model design, programming, work hours + procrastination, studio time+ fixing any problems encountered or that will be encountered in the future, help from friends, considering other build times she had.
I’d say this video-took a while(She also admitted to waiting months for the PlayStation before hand) and even under a time crunch she has to think of the video idea after this video is out and work on that possibly in the same time frame so it can be released on schedule!
@@topenterclips more like take the people over 31 days and not reply to people only ones who are tie to the video reply to lol if do this me i talk to everone never let a rule like do not reply to people stop me
@@old-royking 5 days is insanely short time for a video like this.
@@asdassdgfdf7509 post production is also something to count more like 2-3 weeks
I woudl definitly build in extra fans if i would ever do such a project. It looks amazing!!!! Hope your airflow is still okay
Overheating might be a concern 😅 and I’m not talking about the lava
Fr
Yeah bro I was watching this very nervous
This is unbelievably cool! And the dwarf guards look incredible!
It looks great. I am always amazed at how talented and skilled you are
fun fact, if you add heavy body black paint to plain mod podge, it goes on grey and dries black. white mod podge is usually more avalable in larger quantities and usually a little cheaper, plus you dont have to mix ALL of it so you can make multiple colored base coats for various projects
@@bobdarker519 martina literally used black mod podge here....
@@bobdarker519 i swear ive seen it on shelves before. Ah well. So much the better
Your work just amazes me, wish I'd had friends like you guys growing up! Although I had to chuckle at the end, how you managed to not play on the Playstation while doing this project is a testament to your patience! I'd have had to at least play some games in between!
This is amazing. Great artwork. For anyone wanting to try to do something like this tho I would find a way to sneak some external little fans to help keep the system a little cooler.
This is awesome, as per usual! You never disappoint us fans every single project you release for our viewing pleasure. Also, your editing skills and the background music, just plain decorated chef's kiss! Been a fan for a year or so and you just keep getting better and better with your creative journey. Thank you for having us along with it. 💙💙💙
Fan from PH here
Definitely need to have you guys make more of Dwarven things. I love Dwarves, and their culture... let alone Lone Mountain and Durins!
I found this channel a few years ago when I was looking for some videos on book binding. Nerdforge has just gotten better and better and I'm happy to say I'm still a subscriber and I look forward to every upload! Thanks for many years of great content!
Greetings from a fan in Canada.
@Craig H, seconded by another fan from Canada!
My creativity increases 100% just watching this woman's work, amazing!
Your filming always seems to level up and truly encapsulates your concept to "make stuff with stories" and I'm here for it! So many enchanting shots along with the usual fun of watching magic unfold in a time lapse 🔥🔥🔥
I literally just watched you make it and I still can't wrap my head around how you pulled this off... incredible!
Do something like this with a water-cooled PC, and route the water to a small recirculating waterfall on the outside.
Could add some of those plastic ice cubes for extra cooling
sick, the lava looks kinda like orange juice when the led is off lol
This makes me think that there must be a huge market out there for 3d console skins. I know I would save up for one.
They cost roughly at least 3 times as much as the console itself, so not an enormous market, no. They're very niche, although the people who make them (on commission) are usually very talented.
1:41 ...and remember kids, if you're gonna use knives or something hot, always cut away from yourself.
No seriously don't do it I managed to cut my hand open and have surgery it fuckin sucked
Работы Мартины восхищают все больше!!! А дальше наверное большой экран TV подвергнется декору))) Успехов всей команде и творческого вдохновения!!
😳
been watching for 3 weeks and your art work is soo cool especially on the pcs and consoles, so now i have subscribed that is how cool it has blown me away
I love your builds. They always put a smile on my face and i was wondering how would i get into doing things like this. Obviously not as beautiful and amazing but i would love to start making builds like you guys do
Love how this turned out, really epic-like! For your next project, could you try to recreate a scene from a movie you like? I think you decor looks on simple items is just beyond insane and super fantastic!
Really good work! Love your staff. Just one criticism you should paint the big lava just as the small ones. Those are soooo cool! :)
This is good content. Finally, someone with a craft. I was hoping it would open up and reveal the place where you put the discs but it's still super dope. The lighting up part is super cool.
I know it you made it into Lord of the Rings but to me, it really gave me fun memory flashbacks of the Dwarven Kingdom Ironforge from WoW Days back in the day. You did absolutely amazing and i wish this wasn't so difficult because that Ps5 is 1000000 x better than just a normal one.
This looks freakin awesome. You have out done yourselves once again.
There is one thing that I'm slightly concerned about is getting the hot air out. I'm sure you took this into account when making this but if the PlayStation starts to slow down or freeze during gameplay there might be an issue with the heat not getting out of the side pop collar vent spaces. I'm pretty sure it's ok but just keep an eye on it.
I had the same thought. I wonder is there’s space to vent the heat that wasn’t mentioned.
Gotta appreciate the amount of work that was put onto this! Well done!
We need more Nori footage in these videos. When I say need I mean NEED LIKE REALLY REALLY NEED more footage of Nori
Fantastic as always! Just when I think that I have seen the best of the best, you surprise me with even more, this is giving me serious Dragon Age vibes and I am here for it! Love it!
This is something different, the imagination you guys have is more superior than I have ever seen. Loving to watch your videos, keep going please
This is the real dream team. both are so talented, have skills and both are so artistic 🤍
1:06 - I feel a REALLY strong Bobby Duke influence in your stlye and I absolutely love that 😂😂😂
This looks straight out of the Hobbit dwarf cities xD wonderful job!
I've been binging your channel for the past week, and I'm super amazed by the progress throughout the years. I hope I would've found you sooner. This new video caught me super off-guard and I'm incredibly happy of finally being caught up with you! Amazing video, amazing creation! And yes, the PS5 looks so much better all in black qq I wish that was the default for us less capable/creative commoners, haha. Thank you Martina and Hansi for having such a great channel and sharing your skills with the world!
This looks absolutely incredible!! The detail is exquisite. Super cool!! I just have to wonder though, do you worry about heat distribution? Or is that already factored in when you design it. Again, amazing job!
Back end open, rewatch how she made the cast for the lavafall and you can visually see the gap being created for the airflow even able to notice it during the outro showcasing.
that playstation is probably generating more heat than the sun under all that
So amazing, Always mindblowing how much work you pour (literally^^) into your Artworks
So, just curious, if the bents are covered, how it breathe? Or just blow up? Also, a couple painted orange streaks might make the lava a bit more realistic... looks super pretty, and cool!
İ thought about this too. İ think it just overheats
Martina said in a comment that the airflow is unobstructed.
I have to literally hang mine in front of the AC to keep it running, my guess is she doesn't use it much.
@@mohamadjaddo3968my guess is she never ever used it and farmed everyone for views.
The vents on the back aren't blacked, but I also wondered about the big van vent on the side. It would have been smart to make those large doors open so that vent would still he able to draw in the air it needs
This build was absolutely amazing. To turn your console into a work of art like this was a stroke of genius. I loved the detail in the dwarves you guys used. This is something I would love to have on my consoles. Keep it up guys!!! 👍👍
The channels name is so good, nerdforge. Just watching this makes me wanna be a nerd. Except I am really lazy, so i'll just keep watching. You are awesome
