Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

Watch me transform cardboard and other junk into a steampunk diorama. I'll show you how to make "metal" panels using paper, a rustic wooden floor, pipes using plastic straws, realistic dust and more.
I have been toiling away learning how to film and edit videos for TH-cam. I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures to sculpted clay animals and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

What a beautiful piece of work! Especially the wooden floor looks awesome! Just one tip: if you want to prevent the cardboard from warping, you can stack two layers of cardboard having them turned by 90°. This way the lines don't warp in the same direction and everything become much sturdier without the need of 5 carboard layers. Please keep on doing your wonderful-to-look-at videos with your calm voice and the description of each step - this is really rare on TH-cam and I would love to see more content like yours. Thank you!
Thanks for the tip and the feedback. I really appreciate it :) I'm so happy to be part of the miniature community on TH-cam.
I am blown away by your creativity and attention to the smallest detail. Watching you bring these dioramas to life is my new not so guilty pleasure! So amazing!
Thank you so much :)
This is amazing! The attention to detail is on another level! Even down to dust
Thank you very much!
I'm so impressed with the lighting! If I had it sitting on my desk, I think I'd be staring at it all day writing short stories or flash fiction about events involving the room.
That's so cool! I love that perspective.
Wonderful job, digging the dry sense of humour!
Haha thank you!
@@queencityminis check out the Homeless Firefighter channel. He had a similar straight faced delivery. I think he saved enough money to get a house and stopped making videos, too bad.
I am so glad you found the footage for this build as it was fantastic! I really love your dust technique too and will have to try it out!💖
Thank you so much! I love that. Your aging techniques are top notch. Adding dust is the cherry on top.
Absolutely amazing. Great job!!
You might want to try out the former darkest Raven Designs, now called Raven Movie Minis by a woman called chantale
This room looks great. I smile when I see random things turn into something you would not recognize had not been watching. The floor worked out so nice. Barvo on an great Steam Punk Room.👏🏻🌹
Thank you! I completely agree. I also love when "trash" or random items are transformed.
9:45 those light shades are genius! I'm never throwing plastics away again!
I still have a good stash of them.
Do you remember what they came from??
Thank goodness you got the footage back because this is amazing! So many cool details. Great job!
Yay!!! Thank you! I felt really defeated having to cut all the footage again. It took so long but I'm glad I did it and everyone is enjoying it :)
Watching your videos I forget to breath and I loose sense of time. Your work is amazing!
Wow, thank you!
Brilliant! There are no words. What a talent you have.
Thank you so much 😊
Absolutely amazing
Thank you so much :) It's amazing how much you can do with cardboard & some basic tools.
Just found your video today and I was telling my husband about your clogged air brush. He said to be it in pure degreaser for a few days. The purple coloured container of degreaser is the one you want to use. After a few days, get a tiny brush and start cleaning all the little parts as they come apart. And he said once you get it cleaned and use it again, clean it right away every time and especially if you use acrylic paints, clean it right away! Just food for thought.
I am packing up to move so I packed my pile of clogged airbrushes up, but I'll try this when I unpack! Thank you
I was super impressed, but then you made the machine!! Leveled up!
Thank you! I love that little machine. Who would've thought? Although it made my trash collecting issue worse 😆
@@queencityminis I have the same problem!
love, love, love it! I enjoyed every step of the process! AMAZING WORK!
Thank you so much :) I won't say I enjoyed every step of the process 😆 but I'm very very happy it's done. FINALLY
@@queencityminis yes, knowing all the stress this caused, I'm just glad it's over for you. But the result is fab!
@@WhitneyLaBrie I have some lost data trauma. I kept expecting something to happen and I'd end up losing the video again somehow. Never again! I am backing up all my footage from here on out.
Your project is wonderful. I appreciate all your directions on how you made it. Awesome job. Thank you for sharing.
You're very welcome :) It's my pleasure
Je viens de vous découvrir ! Quel plaisir ! Merci😂
Welcome 🤗 Enjoy!
Love this project. Especially the rivets and floor grates!
Thank you :) The glue rivets are the best thing ever
This is so remarkable. I loved watching the process. So many techniques applied. I can just watch this one video over and over to find the one I need. The details I especially love are the straw pipes and the pull tabs for the lights (!) oh and everything and every detail on the door. Splendid! 😍
Thank you so much! This project was so much fun. I'm glad I got to share it with everyone.
I'm awestruck with your details. Wow. Also, you can seal craft foam with mod podge to keep it from soaking up all your paint, but you probably know that. Brilliant.
Thank you! I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'm editing the video for the machine I made out of trash.
I actually didn't know that! Thank you for the tip. I haven't been making miniatures for long so I've been figuring it out as I go.
I Love the grated floors! I have never done an industrial or steampunk scene this looks like so much Fun! I really like your option for wooden floors!
😀Thank you for sharing!
Thank you :) I got the idea for using plastic canvas from Studson Studio. The wood floors are great. I wish I had gotten more packages of skinny sticks while I was at Walmart.
I love stuff like this please don't stop every time I find something I like they stop love your work
I hear you! I watch a lot of miniature channels and that has happened to me too. I have no plans to stop. It's a lot of work but I mostly enjoy the process (aside from doing the voiceover 😆).
wow wow !! this is amazing!! Things I had never thought of using. I'm just getting into building a miniature doll house and maybe some room boxes. I'll definitely use some of your ideas! And I loved the use of drinking straws for the pipes. I need to get some of the different glues and things. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much! This was a lot of fun.
Truly superb!! Amazing details, creative work, and impressive steampunk atmosphere...😍😍👍👍
Thank you so much! That's really nice. I had a ton of fun with this one.
I'm so happy seeing one of those little milk caps being used! I've always wanted to see those in crafting!
I have a whole stash of them. I've seen them used as plates for 1:12 scale. People glue designs on them or keep them white.
Omg it looks soooo cool
Thank you :)
I love how you just bring these bit and pieces together and make a work of art. 😀
Thank you so much 😀
My eyes might just be weird, but I've never seen your videos before and just saw your thumbnail - and thought you had actually decorated an entire room. The detail and realism is INCREDIBLE, I loved watching you make this!
Yay! I'm glad you liked it. This was so much fun. Quite a while ago at this point. Feel free to binge watch the rest of my channel 😁
woooww!!! ❤ This came out amazingly! I love the trash machine..that literally went from trash to treasure! so many great ideas and techniques went into this ..thanx for sharing!😊
I LOVE the trash machine too. I'll release that video next. It is absolutely crazy the transformation it underwent after I painted it. It was just different color plastic bottle caps and junk glued together and then boom; it's a machine. That was so much fun. Bill Making Stuff was my inspiration.
Yes it definitely was! I loved how you used that earring back! The project came out super neat! I'm not into steampunk but what a challenge..and your little lights came together really great! Good stuff!!👍
I was so excited over that simple quill & ink pot! I love when things are so easy and look so cool.
A while Museum should be dedicated to your art. I envision going from room to room and listening to those videos for each Masterpiece. You need to bed known world wide. You are a genius. You could touch our world in an Amazing and Peaceful way. I pray blessings for your continued success in touching so many. Loving you in Oklahoma, Barb
Thank you so much! That's so sweet
Loved this video! It's given me so many ideas! Thank you ❤👻
Yay! Happy crafting :) I hope you love whatever you end up making.
@@queencityminis awww thank you! I’m in the middle of a haunted 1/24 scale house and a witches house book nook in 1/12 scale so lots of of fun to be have 😍
I love the world of steampunk and really enjoyed watching it. The floor and miniature machines are especially nice! Thank you for sharing your great ideas!😄
Thank you very much!
Queen City- I love how your floor turned out. I will definitely try to duplicate this in my lastest Barbie doll house. Thanks for the video.
You are so welcome! For Barbie scale, you could get away with using larger sticks like popsicle sticks or larger tongue depressors. Using a larger stick means less cuts and you cover the floor faster since the sticks are wider.
This is so delightful! The attention to detail and the use of discarded materials makes me so happy! Bravissimo!!!
Thank you so much! This was a labor of love since the original files got corrupted. I had to pay for data recovery and recreate the entire video! I'm glad I did.
I just discovered Steampunk last Saturday 3/10/23. I went to a convention that Sunday and fell in love with it all. Your work is phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you! My pleasure
Amazing.I love it !
Thank you!
This is such a joy to watch.
I've been building miniature kits for the last few months, and I enjoy them so much. I've been wanting to branch out and create my own, but the possibilities on where to start and how to start have me flummoxed.
Watching a couple of your videos now, I've had so much inspiration. The brick wall video you did with the moss flocking has me all sorts of dazzled, and really got me thinking about what I could make of my own.
Thank you!
That's great! Start making something since you're feeling inspired.
Just too good. Enjoy your videos so much. Thank you.
Thank you so much :)
Gorgeous! This is a really impressive build. TFS!
Thank you :) It was a fun one
Fantastic room!!! I can see a diabolical engineer in the vein of Vincent Price sitting there, fervently planning his next scheme. He’s left the room to go to the main part of his Victorian house since it’s tea time & he’s hankering for scones with jam. He’ll return later to write his plan with feather quill in hand,
That's such a cool picture you've painted! I love your imagination ☺️
Just awesome 😀
Thank you so much 😀
Using chalk pastel was new idea for me, looks better than using watered down paint. You can also use coffee when making papers look old, it gives them more natural old look. This room is just fantastic, I love it!
Thank you! That's a great idea. I've seen people stain paper with tea as well.
Great mini and you always explain things so well. Fun inspirations.
Thank you :) I spend a lot of time trying to make the videos makes sense because I do a lot of weird stuff 😆
I'm Amazed! You are so Creative turning common things into mini wonders 🤗
Thank you so much 🥰
While I really don’t understand everyone’s infatuation with “steam punk,” or even what it’s supposed to mean, I certainly give you props for your ability to take actual junk and turn it into a very convincing steam punk facility! Very creative and impressive.
Thank you! I'll be honest: I don't completely understand it either 😆 I just really wanted to make an industrial, fantasy type space.
gracias por enseñar los productos, es muy util. Y precioso el video, me ha encantado... que chulo!!
Thank you so much!
I've been watching mini making videos for ages and I'm not sure if I've ever learned as much from a single video. Also, this creator's sense of humour is delightful. So happy to have found the channel- very happy new subscriber! Can't wait to watch more :)
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment! I really appreciate that. I'm glad you learned so much:)
Fabulous work!!! Your process was mesmerizing, I couldn't look away. Each piece so perfect and designed.
Thank you! I love how this turned out
That turned out great! You are so artistic!
Thank you so much! It was a really fun build. I'm happy with how it came together.
Another brilliant project. Fantastic attention to detail. My brother also uses 'unusual' items in his dioramas as well. Excellent end project.
Thank you so much 😊
Top shelp miniatures!! Your eye for weathering is astonishing! Watching your videos are motivating me to go back to making my minis!!!❤
Yay! Get back into it and have some fun
Howdy, this was fabulous - so many tips. Every piece fits right in and the random panel at 17:32 has a gauge to monitor the room's temperature, and the other gears lift all three floor metal grates and lowers a ladder to gain access to the pipes and lines under the floor. :-)
I love that! Now it's cannon
Thanks
Wow! Thank you so much. How kind :)
you inspired me to make my own diorama!
I absolutely love this
Thank you! This project made me understand the importance of backing up files since I lost all of the camera footage and had to completely re-edit the video after having a data recovery company recover all of the data.
This happened to me when I was studying nursing. I lost everything
@@DOTTYTIME oh damn. That sounds pretty serious. Did you get it back?
@@queencityminis yes I had the reliable paper back up
@@DOTTYTIME oh good
Si nice to pic verdura right in nature next to home with a 4 foots friend 😊
This is amazing. What a talent.
Thank you! I lost the footage for this right as I was finishing. I had to recut and do voiceover all over again.
the random panel is storing emergency protective gear for when the steam pressure goes out of control. thank you for another great video
Ooh, yes. That makes sense. Thank you!
This is absolutely brilliant, I love steam punk and you've done this so well ❤
Thank you so much! I lost the footage for this project and had to pay $390 to get it back. Then, I had to cut the entire video again and do new voiceover! This project nearly brought me to tears.
WOW! I just discovered your channel and I hit the Mother Lode of genius. Thank you!!!!
Awesome! Welcome 😁 You have a lot of videos to catch up on.
If you want to age things / add dust a very simple method is to spray on hairspray and then blow on some ground cigarette ashes
Thank you! Sounds a bit messy, but effective.
Marvelous. Simply Marvelous. 👍👍
Many thanks!
Amazing!
Thanks!
amazing!
Thanks!
Brilliant, creative
work and very inspiring!
Thank you very much!
I thought I had subscribed to every miniature channel there was. You are so creative. I wish I could work on my dollhouse like I use to.
Thank you so much :) I hope you get back to your dollhouse soon.
@@queencityminis thank you. Me too.
Genius!!! Love the lighting!
Thank you :) I love these LED battery lights. They're so easy to use.
I love steampunk and so does my oldest grandsons girlfriend. A few Christmas 's ago I bought each of them a different color steampunk box from Etsy. For their newest place. 2 places ago lol. Im saving this so I can show her. You have a new sub too. I just love miniatures and your stuff is SO unbelievably gorgeous and detailed! I hope this is your job because you should be making a great income. I guess maybe it's your hobby, but WOW. Any of you guys just amaze me. We have SO MUCH TRASH that could be reused for so much. I keep stuff but I'm just not very crafty. My daughter has tons of stuff that she used with her 3 kids, relatives kids and kids she babysat. Her 3 are adults and we just dont see many anymore so all that is here too. TONS. IDK what to do with it all. Garbage company has a fit, even tho we know these companies DO NOT follow the rules, theirs or the States. That's why landfills and oceans are full. Big reason anyway. They're still throwing recyclables in them. I'm trying to figure a way to NOT throw it all out but to get it out of here because we're pretty close to being hoarders. Ugh! Thank you! I'm going to try to visit your friend Whitney too🙏🏼🥰🎛️🗜️⚙️ I worked in factories for almost 30yrs of my working life. This is so nostalgic! Yep, most of that time I really liked my jobs😊 PS...honey if you want dust I can send you plenty😈. Or cobwebs. With or withoutbthe architects lol. I swear 10 minutes after I wipe them away...the little stinkers sneak back out and get to work. Hope no funky organisms got you! I love those tiny pinecones! I don't think our trees give us any. Was just remembering how much the miniatures we bought cost. And you guys make your own. I just can't wrap my head around it. Ok. I've babbled too much again. Sorry.😔
I hear you! It's a shame how much stuff in general is produced and how much of it ends up trashed. Please do visit Whitney LaBrie. I love her channel. Thanks for watching
thanks for sharing your process . I learn many new things. you made everything in more easier way and look great in the same time .
Thank you so much! I always appreciate hearing from you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Really cool!❤
Thank you 😊
I love your ideas, they inspire me. The best wishes from Germany
Wow wow wow. Subbed. Great explanation and you have a wonderful creative mind!!! Ty 😎
Thank you so much! Welcome
That was great, loved watching this video. It is so inspiring and your attention to detail is spot on. Well done, fantastic job 👍 😀
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed it. This was a labor of love for sure!
Phenomenal work! ⚙️⚙️⚙️
Nice gears!
Awesome.
Thanks!
Ohhh my word. Even in my craftiest days I couldn’t do this. My mum was very clever with all kinds of art projects but I didn’t have the patience for tiny details. You are stupendous dear. I subbed.
Thanks for subbing 🤗 Thank you so much :) I'm having so much fun crafting and sharing it with all of you.
Wow, this room looks amazing and very authentic. Thanks for all the great technique insights! 🎉❤
Thank you so much :) I lost the footage for this project and had to recover. It was such a headache. I'm so glad it turned out well.
@@queencityminis thank goodness you were able to recover it! It’s so elaborate and clever. I love the straw pipes, and the way you made the lights. 👏👏👏
@@myshihtzupiper8117 Thank you! It was a month before I knew the footage had been recovered. I was relieved but then I had to edit the entire video over again! It was worth it in the end though.
Worth waiting for. I would have been satisfied with the end result, but glad you were able to retrieve data
Thank you!
@@queencityminis having been on an aircraft carrier before, they have those waterproof, fireproof doors, and I'm pretty sure the big round handle that closes and seals them is also the handle to open them. It's been awhile though. The red paint on the gear knobs is perfect
Oh yeah...I probably should've googled a reference photo to see what the handles even look like on waterproof doors. I usually Google everything.
Thank you! I loved the handles even before the paint and then I had a Eureka moment.
Epic work!) Queen of Steam Punk))
Thank you 😊
*AMAZING JOB, CONGRATULATIONS*
Thank you! It's been a long road getting this diorama completed and posted. I lost the data the day I planned to export it & needed to redo most of the video. I'm so glad it's out 😊
Amazing and inspiring!
Inspiring? ❤️ That's so sweet! Thank you so much
I love using watch parts. Mum gets broken jewelry from the thrift store and i get the watch guts and random bits and bobs for mini crafting
That's a great partnership! I had to buy my watch parts from Amazon.
I’ve had an idea of doing a steam punk room for a while, thank you for the ideas and inspiration. I’m fascinated about the dimensional magic glue, I’ll be on the hunt for some.
Thank you! I love Dimensional Magic. I got it at Michael's.
Eres fantástica! 👏👏👏👍💪🤩
Thank you :)
I love this! Though I did think that you said you made the wood flooring 'naughty' lol x
I'm a crafting rebel 😂
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing- I learned so much!
Glad it was helpful! I just edited this video a couple days ago and added background music. I hope everyone likes it!
This is really incredible!! You are talented and brilliant!!
Thank you so much!!
I sincerely love your channel.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much 😊
You're such a genius so I feel silly for adding but I used plastic from a green soda bottle for green glass.
All tips are appreciated. I'm relatively new to creating so I'm still learning all the time. That's a really great idea. Thank you!
oh my word, this is right up my alley, you are remarkable!!
Thank you so much 👍
I love your creativity
Thank you so much!
Love it!
Thank you :)
In case I haven't said it yet today.....you inspire me!
Thank you so much :) That means a lot to me
Awesomely done...Thanks for sharing...
My pleasure:)
Hole e cow!! This is just so awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing! You’re a great talent! 👍🏼❤️
Thank you for watching! I was making miniatures before I had an audience but now it is so much more fun. You guys are all awesome.
@@queencityminis no you’re awesome! 👍🏼😂😘
Aww shucks 😊
@@queencityminis seriously! Those pieces actually looked like metal and I just loved the whole creative scene.
@@Beachy1955 Thank you! I was so pleased with how much they end up looking like metal. When you edit a video, it makes it seem like it was a linear process but I didn't really know what to do and I didn't plan it. I'm not good at trying to plan ahead. I did the floor first, r cardboard chimney, the straw pipes, then the paper panels. Then I think the door was next. It just snowballs for me once I get going but I always feel like I've got nothing before I start 😆
I really love this the detail is amazing you have given me so many ideas thank you for the inspiration ❤
You are so welcome! Have fun crafting
Very inspiring.
Glad you think so 😊
Wonderfull!!!!
Many thanks!!
This is an awesome video! Thank you so much.
Thank you! You're welcome so much. I'm so happy with how much everyone is enjoying it :)
Excellent! You have abundant supplies of imagination, creativity and artistic skill and I love seeing how your projects are progressing. This particular video has given me many techniques on how to proceed with some of my ideas for my Time Traveler project (my take on the 1964 "The Time Machine") which I've been working on (and off, lol!). Thank you so very much! Btw, I came to your channel via Ara's Bentley House Minis and so happy I did.
Your Time Traveler project sounds AWESOME! I'm so glad you've gotten some inspiration.
Yay, thank you to Ara! BHM is my favorite channel :)
❤❤AWESOME
Thank you 😊
You are so inspiring! This diorama is so cool and well done. You are creative ❤
I appreciate that 😊
