[@frankruland5596]

Out of this world build,you have got me back into models after 40 years,AWSOME.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Frank, enjoy your hobby!

[@hobbyaddict9908]

I would also have liked to see the alien using a board attached to his feet making the crop circle. A great original diorama! Well done!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@charlespalavros5908]

WOW ! fantastic build

[@hpiguy]

Thanks again Charles!

[@DarthRemey]

One of my favorite builds of yours. Super awesome and clever. Great great build

[@hpiguy]

Thanks man!

[@ModelCarMinion]

Great looking Diorama, very creative.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@melchestermodelrailway]

Brilliant diorama. I used the Busch crop circle mat on my layout, and added some ufo special effects!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@georgetompkins5438]

astounding build

[@hpiguy]

Thank you George!

[@paulcreed-r2n]

Still working on my diorama from that kit, i went down the route of the SS did meet them in the woods more than once for advanced tech, nice build.

[@RcNickster709]

What a great build I enjoyed the whole thing.. Thanks for sharing and the diorama came out amazing.. :)

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Nick!

[@cushingpushing]

Wow, this looks great, nice job putting this together.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!

[@rayortiz1802]

Love this diorama. Great job. I have to try one.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Ray!

[@willfont1143]

Great video, awesome skills. Thanks for the tip about the "Green Stuff World" leave cutters. I build 35th scale armor and those leaves will be certainly useful.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you, and you'll enjoy the punches, they make all types.
A tip, if you get the fern punch you can paint some aluminum foil green, then punch out the fern and bend the leaves and stem any way you want.

[@bskor9722]

Great job! Very innovative!I like the quirky kits like this rather than cars and armor all the time. Your channel is my favorite on yt! Any time i fire up yt to watch something i check your posts first!

[@hpiguy]

Thank you very much!

[@johnwilliams7102]

Wow O Wow on that metallic paint

[@donaldfinley2829]

I love this diaroma! I have the same sense of humor. I so want to do something like this. Great job!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Donald!

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Very creative! I love those sunflowers!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks! I thought they'd add a nice touch up front.

[@michaelgroob3760]

This is exactly what I did with my lighting and it works great and is much cheaper that trying to find the special lighting kits. Love this kit!

[@hpiguy]

Good to know!

[@xrlent12]

You've gone over the top. So dang cool

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@thomasmidura2443]

Awesome job! Cannot wait to begin my own diorama.

[@hpiguy]

You can do it!

[@MrBMBuilder]

This is a great dio and nice use of both ships. When I got mine I just picked it off the shelf without really looking so was surprised to see two ships in the box. Haven't seen this lighting before so thanks for the info. I couldn't help but paint my alien slimy :)

[@hpiguy]

Nice and cheap and the kits fit perfectly which is nice.

[@jimcarr4007]

What’s the name of company. That sells the lites. Sets Love it.

[@OdeeOz]

Man how'd you get all _the cool toys to play with?_ This is an *_outstanding display & model build!_* Only thing I might have done different with the display base, is make some external toggles to activate the hidden light boxes. A simple _Rocker System_ would work fine ;)

[@hpiguy]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@scifimodelshop]

If I drove 65 million light years I be looking for a tree as well 🌳

[@hpiguy]

Right! When you gotta go, any tree will do!

[@shannonmorrow2399]

Very nice Chris! Love the dio and subject matter.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Shannon!

[@Brianthehistorynerd]

Really freakin cool Chris! I like it. Hey that leaf punch is cool definitely need that for my dioramas

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Brian. I have four of them, the seller is in Spain but got me the punches nice and quick.

[@austingomez9630]

[@shannonliedel6219]

Sorry if I missed this, but how did you make the field/crop circles themselves? Is it artificial grass? Or hay? Thanks!

[@hpiguy]

Hey there, I go over that at 7:04 or so, showing the label and explaining it. Thanks!

[@shannonliedel6219]

Thank you so much! Love the idea.

[@maryfiltz800]

This is so funny, what an original idea.

That would have been a big seller out here for the Area 51 event last weekend!

[@hpiguy]

I bet!

[@0508toya]

오우~~굿뜨!

[@DKPSKs]

Love it

[@bobastu]

Very creative and humorous. Love it!!!! Unfortunately, being a photographer, I am very aware of how the lighting affects color perception; in some scenes, the grass looked greener than others, where as in one scene, the field looked very green, then your hand inserted in frame immediately changed camera color perception of grass to a golden, hue. Maybe the temperature of the lighting you use, or how the camera is set up, default lighting settings, etc. If you are shooting with florescent, but your camera is set for natural light, or incandescent, certain colors will not be consistent. Overall, two thumbs up!!!!!!!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching. Yes, I'm not a pro at videos. lighting and pics, so they come out as they are.
Videos produced in the last month have been on a new camera and set for the LED lighting in the shop but they are still far from pro quality.
All the ones before last month were filmed on a ten year old Canon that had video capability but was not a dedicated video camera.

[@cogrinwis6047]

Thinking of order it to. With the extra set of aliens with it

[@hpiguy]

Have fun!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

👍👍👍👍👽👽👽

[@bikky608]

nice i like .....but i cant help thinking that is the worlds smallest crop field

[@BUGBYTE_]

Aliens are the wrong color... I've seen things man and my butt still hurts.🍻

[@hpiguy]

Oh noes!!!

[@monsterx3055]

I love this

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@gruntspy44]

I wish you auctioned this off

[@NA-lz3rb]

I'v just bought this set and i am thinking of building a diorama showing the UFO landed and one of the leg's clamped for illegal parking and a figure holding up a sign saying ''welcome to earth''.

[@moonbear1st]

cool

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@marke.5609]

"I want to believe"

[@hpiguy]

Belieber?

[@billfrater1948]

Green suits, No, should have been Orange.

[@hpiguy]

LOL, so make your diorama and give them orange suits. Let people build their models their way.

[@scottalley590]

Awesome!!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Scott!
