@lpjmodels - It is with great sadness that I share news of the passing of the amazing designer and model maker Craig Clark, aka. Mousemuffins after his battle with cancer.
Craig was been an amazing influence on a great many people across all forms of model making from sculpting and casting to painting and design, Craig knew it all and was always happy to share his knowledge and creations. Craig's catalogue of work stretches far beyond his 3d models here and includes things like Golden Demon trophies, Gundams, historical modelling and his laser cut designs at Miniature Scenery. I know he had plans for many more projects in future.
Unfortunately this all means that no more kits will ever be released for Mousemuffins Designs so please treasure the kits you have.
I really enjoyed building this quirky machine, I hope you enjoy the video !
Such a fantastic job on that critter!!! The Turtle was quite the unique vehicle, and you brought it to life perfectly!!
Thanks Alan ! Such a unique vehicle, its a cool looking kit, and being non modern military it catches the eye of a lot of non modellers too !
My two-pence worth of opinion: Your best model so far. Well done, James.
Thanks Le Trepidant !
James, another beautiful project. Thank you, again, for sharing your gifts.
Kamil thankyou for taking the time to watch !
This IS the future of modeling!
100% !
What a lovely model and such a great paint job
Thanks J Mc !
Holy Cow! Those are some excellently printed parts! Even the supports seem designed to come off easily.... Excellent Build ( mit der kit brass and extras ) and Excellent Kit!
It certainly is really nicely done, one problem I have with my own prints are attachments points that leave little dents when removed, none of that here! but I am a 3d noob.
Thanks a lot !
Oh my God, how beautiful this model is, it is also an excellent job on your part, I am amazed
Thanks Daniel that's really kind 😀
Stunning build and painting job. That seat cushion is fantastic. Very nice result.
Thanks, I'm quite pleased with how the seat came out despite how simply it was done !
Insanely good finish on this one James. Such a unique subject too.
Thanks Robert, it's really nice to change it up now and again, I think a lot of people are very much glued to their modelling niche, which I understand, I used to be the same. But I hope the more niche or obscure vehicles might encourage people to try something different now and again, it's definately refreshing on my end !
Hard to believe this was a combat ready machine. Great job on this one. And great subject.
Thanks ! It had a few trips out but was never successful, and eventually its parent ship was sunk :(
@@lpjmodels well that's unlucky but I'm not suprised.
Great! Now I want to see a 1/6 scale one of these with working parts.
That would be cool !
It’s really exciting to see a full 3D-printed kit of such fantastic quality. We’re probably a ways off from seeing a high-quality 1/48 aircraft or 1/35 tank, but this little kit is an absolute work of art… and you’ve brought it to life with amazing metal and wood effects.
Thanks Bruce ! The detail is there for 1/35 tanks but I think the process of printing is a lot more time consuming for bigger parts, a 1/35 jerrycan standing upright using high detail settings will take 3 hours + to print, you can make a load of em, but they will always take a while. Imaging having to print a 20cm Hull, that would take many hours, unless you reduced the quality ( layer line height). ( this is going off of the build plate size for standard home printers)
I hope there is tech that helps the speed because it would be crazy cool.
@@lpjmodels agree. I print small detail parts, but as you say the time needed to print larger parts would be prohibitive. From my experience current 3D printers would also struggle smoothly printing the large, flat plates needed for may tanks without obvious layer lines.
Bravo Sir! Bravo. I am truly serious when I say, this is a work of art.
Thanks my freind !
I think that model was created just for you. Beautiful job James!
Thanks T Paul, it was right up my street for sure, those different surfaces and textures were a joy to paint
Absolutely stunning, my friend! 👍
Thanks mate !
The ungrateful colonist’s sub looks amazing. The wood effect is lovely. Great job 😘
FREEDOM!
Thanks Basil ! 😂
@@hubristicmystic It's FREEDUMMM wearing a ginger beard 😛
Absolutely amazing work! I love that this is 3D printed, it goes to show the levels of detail that this manufacture method can achieve. Your painting is amazing too!
The model looks amazing as 3D printed kit, but you did a GREAT job on the build, as always your skill at wood grain is second to none!
Huge Thanks for this. You have done an amazing job. I've just modified the discount code so it's good until 20th April. -Mousemuffins Design.
Thanks Craig it was a pleasure to build !
@@lpjmodels I'm keen to get started on something a little more... Semple.
I just ordered one myself just now from your Mousemuffins Design site! LPJ really does great work!
@@craigclark2936 oooooooh 🇳🇿🇳🇿
From another retailer of my own 3D designs and prints I want to say that this model looks fantastic, well done!
This build blew me away. Fantastic eye candy for a very interesting subject.
Lovely little kit, great build.. as usual.
Thanks a lot Mark 😀
This mini submarine is such a great kit! Very nice build up and painting finish! Ordered myself one straight away. Awesomeness 👍🏻 Greetz DutchDave.
Thankyou Dave! It was a pleasure to build, you'll enjoy it !
That was brilliant- to increase the work time of CA glue use a tea light candle. squeeze a small onto the candle, the wax slows the dry time=less waste. Hope that makes sense.
Absolutely awesome!
Cheers !
Now i'm imagining this in a resin diorama as if it was sailing out to it's target! Amazing video as per usual for this channel and what a cool kit to build, to think this was a real thing that someone actually went out into the water with! Braver than I ever would be!
I'm so impressed with your modeling skills!
Nice too see unusual models & well put together 👌🏻
Thanks Pip 🍻
I don’t know if this is your best work or not, but it certainly is the most appealing to me. Crackerjack work
Thanks a lot Kevin , much appreciated!
Awesome build! Your method of painting woodgrain is the best I've seen.
I think one of your best yet. Cracking job.
Thanks David, sometime building something different makes you think outside the box and that's always good for honing your skills.
What a beautiful little kit, superbly built, well done.
*This "thing" could be part of a "steampunk" diorama because its design is so strange ... wonderful work LPJ!*
Beautifully executed, and a very fine kit to work with.
That’s an interesting model. I really enjoyed watching this build. 👍
Thanks a lot Peter, I appreciate it 🙏
Another great video the commentary and pace are spot on well done!!
Thanks Mark , glad to hear the hard work is paying off 😄
What a cool subject and neat kit
one of the most interesting builds ever. well done
That looks great James, lovely job. Just ordered myself one 👍🏻
Thanks Paul ! You'll enjoy it, it was a refreshing change of pace and really fun to make
@@lpjmodels Can’t wait. Definitely something different for me 👍🏻
Greetings from San Francisco, California.
Thanks for the great video James.
It's really helpful, especially because I am building Craig's (Mousemuffins) 3D Turtle right now.
I am so glad that I ordered it before your video came out...otherwise I'd be waiting in line for it.
I ordered it back in January after seeing an "in box" review on Harry Houdini's TH-cam channel.
Something about the subject and the look of the kit just appealed to me...so I ordered it.
Craig processed the order immediately, with the current shipping issues, it arrived earlier this month.
It's my first 3D printed kit.
So far so good; in some ways it's easier, and in some ways not easier, than a typical styrene model.
Overall I am very impressed and happy with the model.
I should be priming it in the next day or two.
Thanks James and Craig.
Another fantastic build and an incredibly interesting model - It was so good I seriously considered my first build in over 40 years, then saw Craig had sadly passed away, very sad news, but I really enjoyed seeing his and your work. Probably just as well I won't build an example, though, as I'd always be comparing it to yours! :(
It was a huge shame Craig passing, he was a really nice guy as well as a talented artist ! Thanks for the kind words Mark
This is really interesting kit and amazing work James! Each video, I learn something new! Thanks :)
Thank you both guys! Amazing model and fantastic realization!
(of course I just bought it!❤)
Thankyou for taking the time tonwatch Fernando !
@@lpjmodels every time it's a pleasure!
beautiful job James
Appears I have found an ideal companion for my 1/35 CSS Hunley!
Amazing build and great kit!😀... nice combination of wood and various types of metals on an extremely unique model. Thanks for the inspiration. Great work!
Absolutely gorgeous... this vid cost me another day on the AT-ST 🤣
You're getting there though mate !
Great to see such an unusual subject being modelled. A superb build beautifully finished. Love it.
Thanks Sera , I like these obscure vehicles, it's refreshing to not do something from one of the popular major conflicts
interesting subject, nicely done !! Alan C.
Thanks for watching Alan !
Lovely machine! Wood looks fantastic as well as the whole thing does of course. Well done James...
Thanks a lot Mikuláš 😀
This is so cool
Outstanding!
Beautiful work on a rather interesting and not very much modelled subject! I’m absolutely loving the wooden paint effect! Glad you left one side off so we can see the internals. Thank you for sharing this amazing model!
Thanks Andy, I dont think i could have glued the side on with all that detail inside 😀
Super cool awesome job .. love to build one
This is really cool! The things they did then is staggering, things few would even consider nowadays. They literally upscaled a barrel, gave some propellers and a screw attached to a barrel of gun powder and they sent it out to sink ships. Know many are surprised there were a few submarines in the revolutionary war, there were torpedoes used to sink civil wars ships later on, many things used today are far older than many realize. Awesome build LPJ, love the selection!
Thanks HailStorm!
I tell you I wouldn't want to be on board this thing for any reason , it's crazy how they tried these things, you must have had to be a forward thinker to come up with such a machine.
@@lpjmodels Well, a hot air balloon company built the first submersible that was able to reach the bottom of the mariana trench challenger deep, with the logic of, they could go up, why not down? Wright brothers were bicycle mechanics that built a plane that changed the course of history. Some most important inventions known to man were either accidents caught by a keen eye or a thought of "what if?" and they just built it. Although case of the turtle isn't well known really, but it wasn't the first submarine ever, it was just the first one ever used in combat an also the first American submarine. The earliest submarine plans reach as far back as 1578, but wasn't until 1620 that the first navigable submersible was built and used. Yes I looked a bunch of this up out of curiosity lol. But yeah I wouldn't want be in the turtle either, it's far too small and cramped and I'm way too tall to fit xD. What we couldn't reach we built machines to reach for us.
I have been waiting for this one for a while now and I wasn't disappointed at all. I love the way you make the different materials look so realistic and the weathering of them is spot on. Fantastic build James . Well done! Stay safe mate!
Thanks Ferb ! I'm glad you liked the end result mate, take care !
great work. super!!!
Nice build 👍
Love it!!!
Amazing 👏
Thanks a lot my freind !
Okay James. I'm going to say it properly: This is fucking amazing!! I'ts so well painted, i mean, it's impressive man! Thath wood grain... o my god i'ts just fantastic. Thank you so, so much ! What is going to be the new project ? Thank you james. Really
Wow thankyou mate !
Next project is under wraps for now but it's a bit more traditional 😁
That is absolutely amazing 👏 👏👏 work as always man! I ordered one for myself but didn't wait for a discount code! Dang it lol
Thanks Corey ! You'll enjoy it for sure, thanks again for the support 😀
@@lpjmodels you're welcome brother! Keep doing what you do it's top notch building at it's finest! Cheers man.
Haha...mine arrived today!
This was a gorgeous model you made. I especially loved the copper and brass work you did. Can you get the top off do you can see inside? All that gorgeous work.
Thanks Jaani, yes the fit is good so you can just click the top in place ( and doing this secures the side piece)
I worked at a hobby store and a lady came in and she was a history teacher. She wanted a civil war model and I told her we have a model of a submarine. She looked at me and said we didn’t have submarines then. She was shocked when I showed her the CSS Huntley. Then I told we had on in the American revolution. She looked at me like I was joking. I told her to look up the turtle submarine.
👍👍👍
Very keen to get this! Can it be displayed opened up as shown at the end?
I left the side and top loose so I can display it however, the fit is good enough that you can leave the top and side unglued and not have to worry about it falling apart.
Who in the hell tought that it was a good idea
A quick note! Turtles are currently sold out, due largely I expect to this rather wonderful review. I should have more stock in approximately two or three weeks. Drop me a line through the website if you are interested in a kit, and I can reserve one for you.
Thanks for the Update Craig, I pinned this for visibility, when there's a change let me know and I'll put it to the top !

Really sorry to hear of your health issues, wishing you a good recovery and looking forward to when you're back in business.
Great subject matter!! This is what I like to see in 3D printing. Kudos to both of you.
Lovely piece . A bigger scale will be interesting.
Thanks Serge, the great thing about 3d files is the scalability, not that the files are public availiable, but I think Craig at Mousemuffins Design has plans for some different sizes
@@lpjmodels thank you for your answer . Great news !!😊 I'll stay tuned .
