You should do more videos like this. As someone who really doesn't care about warlord titans and originally subscribed due to your older hobby tutorials, I like just seeing you enjoying painting.
@@douglascampbell9809 Remember waiting for my copy of White Dwarf to show up in the mail for new rules. Though to be fair, my friends and I didn't really "get into" it til the mid-90's. 1987 seems later than I remember, but...I'm old, not surprised. And we were mostly into Battletech and D&D (still) at that point.
Iv'e got to say, this was such a refreshing change of pace. I miss seeing you working on projects for yourself rather than these big sensationalized ones. While I enjoy the big projects, seeing you paint what makes you happy is nice. I hope this helped you de-stress. look after yourself
"Imagine any other major company need four weeks to ship out one small plastic part" Two points. 1: They sold out, it happens. Imagine if they were making them in China or somewhere and they were on the slow boat around the world - could have been _months_ delay! It's not like they manufacture this model continuously. It's expensive sure, but it's very very low volume. Maybe they normally only run the production for it twice a year. 2: This happens depressingly often with parts for cars and electricals... "What do you mean the nearest part is in Italy and it's going to take 6 weeks to get here? My boiler is broken, it's mid winter and I'm freezing"
While I understand that the algorithm and metrics suggest you to do multi-part format videos for best results, I must say I really love the one off videos where you paint things you like and discuss things, that's a format I personally really enjoy. Keep up the good work man, I'll be watching.
hello, computer repair technician here with a comment on replacement part turnaround. most if not all laptop manufacturers do not have replacement parts at all for new product lines, sometimes for up to 6 months after launch. I have seen warranty units sit on my shelf or at depot for months with little info on when parts will be produced and made available. to be clear, we are an official warranty repair center for these brands, they direct their customers to bring their computers to is. this is for brand new high-end systems that often cost a good bit more than $2k. bear in mind, the products are often used by customers for work; because of that, many people cannot go without a laptop for more than a few days without a considerable negative impact on their livelihood. further, even if parts are in stock, if you are ordering parts from a manufacturer based in Taiwan (msi, Acer, etc), and there are no parts available domestically (or it's under warranty and you have to order directly from the manufacturer), they ship parts from Taiwan **by BOAT** . it takes a month minimum to arrive where I'm located. what I'm getting at is, these kinds of issues are logistical, the problems persist across many industries and affect companies much larger and more profitable than GW. just a little context.
Take all the time you need my dude! burnout is real. I actually just found that out myself after working like crazy over the last year. You all make amazing content and your passion shines through in every video you create. none of us are going anywhere. enjoy that time painting your personal stuff. :)
Same applies to you mate love your content take the time you need and above all you're N1 in your own life and always take care of yourself first. Remember that you can't help another if you yourself need help first so always prioritize yourself hard as it can be.
It takes them 4 weeks to cast this one piece because they have to make sure it's absolutely perfect with zero issues with the mold. Afterall, this is forgeworld we're talking about, quality control to their level takes time. Nobody has ever bought anything from forgeworld and had issues with the model and certainly nobody has asked for a replacement piece, only to have that replacement piece be just as fucked up as the piece it was replacing.
Loved this format, we don't always need a serie on a huge and stressfull project to be intertained, just you enjoying your hobbie is enough! take care of yourself!
I enjoy watching videos where you just paint something simple. It doesn't always have to be big, huge projects. Thanks for your content and the effort you put in!
I won't lie, more videos where you just casually churn through your backlog of projects would be very welcome. It's great to see you chilling, working on varied things and having fun doing it! I'd happily subscribe for a second time to see a video like this a month or something.
More like this please! The ambitious stuff you guys put out on the channel is incredible, but I love this stuff too. I don’t think you’d lose anyone putting the occasional video like this out in more regular breaks between your big project videos. Your personal painting journey when you started the channel was awesome to watch and very relatable for the average hobbyist. It really comes through that you are enjoying yourself here and that’s fun to watch. You and Lucas are so disgustingly talented now, it’s cool to see you just hobby.
We love you Squiddy! Do whatever you want, we watch you for the entertaining content, not just the IP. And your own project looks absolutely AMAZING! Keep doing what you love brother!
Beign honest here Emile, I miss these kind of videos, the huge dioramas are awesome, but I remember your content from 2 years ago, doing these kind of small projects and I miss them, without being a challange of some kind, just you chilling, doing a paint job, going over your though process with nice music.
Emil, @squidmarminiatures, your extreme professionalism, when it comes to making yourself work so hard to get these videos ready, is not why people watch your content. We watch your content because you are excited about the content. It's your excitement that is the drug we keep coming back for. So take your time to stay excited about your projects 🙂
I had a missing tail from a tyranid forgeworl model. It took 6 months to get it resolved. They kept sending me the wrong part. Super slow responses as well.
I wouldnt mind seeing more of this random paint / build stuff. Not having a grand reveal, just build and paint. Love seeing your process. Take it easy, just enjoy.
I'm sure the big show-stopping projects and massive builds are good for the ol' TH-cam algo but I love these little "personal project" videos just as much. I don't think anyone would complain if you slowed down and just showed us these projects that you're really into and excited about whenever you were feeling overwhelmed by the big ones.
as a creator myself this was the best video and something I really needed right now, being told that it's OK to just sit back and paint cool stuff, relax, so cool
As awesome as you are big project videos are, I really do like and miss these smaller projects. As long as your passion is still there, your videos are always entertaining to watch no matter how big or small.
Love this format! 😊 Would not mind getting some relaxing “i do what i’m excited about”-videos every once in a while! Especially not if it cuts down on stress-levels for you guys’! 😊
Please keep doing videos about your projects, whatever you like. We follow you because you are inventive and an amazing painter, this will not change from one project to another so do what you're the most excited about
This is honestly probably one of my favorite videos of yours! The joy and passion shines through! I'd love to see more "take a break to just have fun" videos!
I can watch you paint your backlog for months! Dont hesitate to whatever you feel like, all your videos are epic! I hope you have a nice trip in Australia!
I order OOP stuff from a shop in the USA that have a shipping option that bypasses all the major North American freight carriers and their fees and tariffs (not saying shipping is free but this is their most cost effective shipping). Now I live in Canada, literally right across the border from where the stuff is shipping from. I could drive there and get it but that would cost more than shipping with gas prices, wear and tear on the vehicle, and time out of the other things I could be doing. So, getting to how this relates, this shipping option takes a little detour THROUGH SWEDEN to go from the USA to Canada, and that has NEVER taken FOUR WEEKS! Sorry for your pain Emil. I used to work at one of the GW retail stores and even as an employee I had to wait a loooooong time for a personal order that I made for a massive amount of metal minis to get picked and sent. Worth the wait but still frustrating. One more thing, having been sick for the last 6 or 7 weeks myself, I wish you all the best in your recovery. Please, take it easy and get better, Emil. We need your content here, it is one of the BEST!
I would love more of these types of videos, they don’t all have to be epic 7000$ dioramas, getting cool videos of smaller conversion projects or painting are equally cool. The fact that this is a passion project is even better, you have my vote for making this a mini-series if you hit a roadbump like this again!
@@yanceyboyz They didn’t even pay for that first goblin, they just said it had a value of 10 cents, i don’t think 2 Warlord titans have the same value.
@@TheThewhatnow so the titans were free. Value and what you pay for something are completely different things. They traded up to the titans, they didn't make a video series saying "we bought 2 titans" If everyone paid the value of something, there would be no second hand car market...for example
@@yanceyboyz In every video they make about the project, they make a big deal of telling the audience about how much these titans are worth, or have you not watched any of their videos? They spent months trading up models and armies to get to this point, you are basically saying the whole diorama is worthless and all that work is worthless, i guess you think they should just sell it for 0$ and make nothing for charity? It’s such a strange hill to die on. If they decided to just straight up sell the parts that went into making the diorama before starting the project, then that is the value of the diorama, and choosing not to sell the parts is the “cost” of making it, it’s not a hard concept to grasp. The end result will probably be worth far more then that to a collector.
When you’re starting to feel burned out and the frustrations get to you, it’s absolutely the right call to give yourself a breather. If you try and push it then there’s always the risk that you start falling out of love with the hobby. Think I speak for most when I say we understand, appreciate what you do and will be here when you feel ready to go again. Take care, you charismatic bastard.
I really enjoyed getting a 'behind the scenes' peek at the stuff you're doing for yourself and your hobby rather than the mahoosive project focussed stuff. Take it easy, look after you, and don't go nuts 😃
I'm sorry that you're feeling stressed about the titan project. It is understandable, I would not even know where to start! However, this video was wonderful, a huge part of why I personally enjoy your content is seeing your passion projects come to life and how you approach things! I personally would not mind a few more down-to-earth passion project kinds of videos to keep things fresh. I know many others would like that too!
I love watching creators experiment and try new things with their minis, it helps get my creative juices going and gets me thinking about things I can try with my miniatures. What ever you choose to do, squidmar, whether that is continuing the titanic project you have been working on, or it is just messing around with miniatures, I am along for the ride.
I think these kind of videos are the best of your content. Showing a happy time painting and hobbying is the best. Take care of your mental health and do show your smaller projects!
It was nice to get a break from the epic vids with ur big projects, and get a more down to earth video about just doing you and enjoying the hobby. Felt a lot like ur older content. It would be nice to get more vids in this style from time to time.
I genuinely find your personal army stuff to be very inspiring. I’ll never own a big titan but I’ve got some trolls and goblins that need some attention and your style is definitely influencing how I’m painting them up.
take how ever much time you need! We'll be here when you come back. And I'm watching your videos over and over again haha so I won't even stop watching
honestly emil I enjoyed this video much more than your usual content, something about you just relaxing and doing personal projects beats the flashy thumbnail friendly stuff for me personally. take all the time you need, I'd absolutely love to see more of the ogors and gargants
Every time I see a War Mammoth my heart soars. I bought one twenty years ago, and sold it off about ten years ago and dearly wish I hadn't. It's good to see one getting some TLC from you.
Man the games workshop taking forever and a day on something simple, reminds of my wait for my merch from tee spring (over 2 months wait on something that should have been shipped in under 2 weeks)
Squidmar I watched an older video of your tips for 3D printing... I HIGHLY recommend getting a Paralytic Pump for your resin printer. It's an absolute must for changing resin, cleaning out the vat, etc!!!
Emil and Lucas it was such a pleasure to meet you in Melbourne and do the basing workshop with you. You guys seemed super tired, but could see your passion for the hobby in person. Take a break and rest up and keep making these awesome videos when you feel ready!
This is totally fine my man, I got into your channel a couple years ago when you were doing all the tutorials and stuff. I’ve enjoyed watching your channel progress and grow since then and while the massive projects are definitely sick and we all love them I’m sure a lot of long time fans will agree that it’s nice to see you taking a step back and getting back to your roots. That’s the stuff that got a lot of us into your channel. Speaking for myself when I was first attempting miniature painting and failing miserably lol, you’re videos were a big source of inspiration and knowledge that helped me grow and learn to love the hobby.
Loved this video. Great to see you sitting down and enjoying the hobby, painting stuff you're really passionate about. Those trolls look amazing. Keep going, Emil.
You know what they say about selling what you like (and not what you think your customers will like). Trust in your taste and interests! In any case, I suspect people enjoy a balance of big project vs. low key. I especially liked how you showed us 2-3 smaller things in one video - kept my attention more than the big builds, where I sometimes just skip to the end to see the finished product. Using the one box to make 3 minis was especially clever.
It’s ok to take a break - your videos are incredible and are part of what brought me back. But you need to take care of yourself and remember you don’t owe a thing to anyone.
These models are looking great. I think the message here speaks to a lot of people. Sometimes we get burnt out just trying to paint up a full army, or meet a deadline. Every now and again it helps to take a step back and just paint something fun or put a little time in other projects. Great Video!
Came here to say the same! The epic stuff is really cool but this change of pace was fun too. I love the gargant project and I’m sure we all can identify with having a bunch of passion projects on deck that could use some love. We’re here for it Emil!
dude videos are in general just better quality when the creators are well rested and have fun. So its not just the right decision for you mental health but also for your channel to take your time! btw its insane how much better the quality of your videos are. I watched a few of your first videos and compared to your latest videos. The script, feeling camera is so much better :D!
Taking time for yourself is hugely important! We can wait :) I love the fact that your decompression is still painting, just working on stuff that's more for yourself! I'd actually love to see more 'break' videos where you just do stuff for yourself!
You should definitely do more videos like this. It was great watching you do stuff you wanted to do and not be worried about stuff. Getting back to the roots great video, keep them coming.
Go get that break! Real talk, I could watch you convert and paint whatever. Love the dioramas of course, but this was one of my favourite videos in a long time.
Don't get tired! Keep having fun doing those videos and take the time you need 🙂 Also, i like video like this with several little projects, some painting, some conversion, without the need to create the uber iper biggest-than-all project all around; if you put your hearth on those, they are as good as the biggest projects!!
I love your different series of planned content.. however, you guys just having fun creating and painting are incredibly relaxing and satisfying to watch as well. Please keep taking care of your wellbeing… its easy to take for granted. Anyway, warm greetings from Utrecht, the Netherlands ! Cheers 😙
Please keep the breaks from the mega-epic projects coming, as much as you need. As a pretty regular viewer, I am just happy to see you pop up in my feed. Whether you're painting the coolest new GW sculpt or making a Battletoads diorama, I think most of us will be tuned in. Don't let burnout win!
Would be awesome to see you guys showcasing your minis and facilities in more detail in some videos! If you feel crushed by schedule, you could even drop a battle report kinda videos time to time as well. Im sure people would love see you Emil and Lucas rolling some dices!
I loved this chill styled episode! Don't think you always have to have big videos and projects. Getting back to your roots is awesome and so enjoyable to watch
Always make time for yourself! Burning out or over working can be a killer. Trust. Time is needed for all of us to regenerate lost time and energy. Time with loved ones and family to appreciate everything you have.
I don't know if this has already been said but the large forgeworld kits are only made to order, so they would not have any spare parts for a warlord sitting around (although you'd have to wonder what happened to the missing part did it get cast or left out..) I have been to the HQ a couple of times and the store will only stock a few of the smaller kits and such
For the record, I loved this video just watching you paint what you want to paint! It felt really personal I loved it! If this is good for your mental health too please do more content like this from time to time! We love everything you paint!
Squidmar, you deserve a break, self care is group care. Really glad to see you take care of yourself. We don't want you to get burnt out, enjoy your time for yourself and we will see you on the other side of the next video, Skål!
Please take your time and paint what you want. I could watch you a Lucas paint whatever you guys feel like, doesn't need to be grand projects. Just don't burn yourselves out and stay healthy.
Don't burn yourself out! We love your content and the quality at which it is made, and that will be affected if you push yourself too hard. I have so much respect for what you guys do for the community, and the fun you have for yourselves putting these huge projects and dioramas together. Much love ❤️
I'm not sure I understand : you are apologizing to us for spending what is basically an extended week end doing the stuff that actually got most of us hooked to your channel in the first place, instead of your super-epic Warlord Titan project? More of this please ! I love seeing your epic dioramas evolve but what I enjoy even more is when you paint your stuff with a big smile and share it with us.
Take your time Emil - you get one shot at life so try not to waste time fretting when you just need to step away for a while - but did you have to bring the Mammoth out! Now I feel like I have to dig mine out of storage and do something with it after 15 years!
We love you Emil! And that harry Potter look alike guy is super cool too! If he did some videos while you rested that'd be cool too. You guys are frickin amazing!
We got our own miniature paint brushes and unique miniatures, you can find them here and support us at the same time: www.squidmar.com/latepledge
Could you 4d print the missing part or make a resin copy?

I'm sorry that you're feeling stressed about the titan project. It is understandable, I would not even know where to start! However, this video was wonderful, a huge part of why I personally enjoy your content is seeing your passion projects come to life and how you approach things! I personally would not mind a few more down-to-earth passion project kinds of videos to keep things fresh. I know many others would like that too!
I love watching creators experiment and try new things with their minis, it helps get my creative juices going and gets me thinking about things I can try with my miniatures. What ever you choose to do, squidmar, whether that is continuing the titanic project you have been working on, or it is just messing around with miniatures, I am along for the ride.
I think these kind of videos are the best of your content. Showing a happy time painting and hobbying is the best. Take care of your mental health and do show your smaller projects!
It was nice to get a break from the epic vids with ur big projects, and get a more down to earth video about just doing you and enjoying the hobby. Felt a lot like ur older content. It would be nice to get more vids in this style from time to time.
I genuinely find your personal army stuff to be very inspiring. I’ll never own a big titan but I’ve got some trolls and goblins that need some attention and your style is definitely influencing how I’m painting them up.
Genuinely love the more relaxed format. makes a nice change of pace every so often.
I gotta say, your basing is next level every single time! I love just how crazy and full of life they are!
I don't blame you on wanting to take a break so take as much time as you need
take how ever much time you need! We'll be here when you come back. And I'm watching your videos over and over again haha so I won't even stop watching
I really like this kind of video. Paint and hobby what you like, vlog style! Keep us updated on your projects!
I'm excited about you having FUN in the hobby, now, and for many more years to come!
Cool video. I love finishing old projects or tinkering with long standing projects. This was a fun hobby video.
honestly emil I enjoyed this video much more than your usual content, something about you just relaxing and doing personal projects beats the flashy thumbnail friendly stuff for me personally. take all the time you need, I'd absolutely love to see more of the ogors and gargants
These are my favorite types of videos tbh.
Every time I see a War Mammoth my heart soars. I bought one twenty years ago, and sold it off about ten years ago and dearly wish I hadn't. It's good to see one getting some TLC from you.
Man the games workshop taking forever and a day on something simple, reminds of my wait for my merch from tee spring (over 2 months wait on something that should have been shipped in under 2 weeks)
Is it from our t-spring stuff? Send me an email on our site if so:)
Squidmar I watched an older video of your tips for 3D printing... I HIGHLY recommend getting a Paralytic Pump for your resin printer. It's an absolute must for changing resin, cleaning out the vat, etc!!!
Honestly I’d love more videos like this, just lowkey projects you’re working on. That three in one miniature seems so cool!
Emil and Lucas it was such a pleasure to meet you in Melbourne and do the basing workshop with you. You guys seemed super tired, but could see your passion for the hobby in person. Take a break and rest up and keep making these awesome videos when you feel ready!
As a fairly new viewer, I have to say this is definitely one of the best videos I've watched in a while
Your passion is incredible
This is totally fine my man, I got into your channel a couple years ago when you were doing all the tutorials and stuff. I’ve enjoyed watching your channel progress and grow since then and while the massive projects are definitely sick and we all love them I’m sure a lot of long time fans will agree that it’s nice to see you taking a step back and getting back to your roots. That’s the stuff that got a lot of us into your channel. Speaking for myself when I was first attempting miniature painting and failing miserably lol, you’re videos were a big source of inspiration and knowledge that helped me grow and learn to love the hobby.
Do these more often. Having fun is the most important part of the hobby.
Love u my man u do u whenever u need dude we will all be here when u get back u literally change lives
That video was so refreshing, I'd even like to see more "chill" videos, that don't put you under all that pressure.
Loved this video. Great to see you sitting down and enjoying the hobby, painting stuff you're really passionate about. Those trolls look amazing. Keep going, Emil.
You know what they say about selling what you like (and not what you think your customers will like). Trust in your taste and interests!
In any case, I suspect people enjoy a balance of big project vs. low key.
I especially liked how you showed us 2-3 smaller things in one video - kept my attention more than the big builds, where I sometimes just skip to the end to see the finished product.
Using the one box to make 3 minis was especially clever.
Get well Emil, all the time you need! Best quality is worth waiting for!
totally fair to take a break! Mental Health is so important. Will happily go back and rewatch older videos in the meantime! 🙂
It's nice to see you take a break from over the top projects and just keep it simple. Back to your roots if you will.
It’s ok to take a break - your videos are incredible and are part of what brought me back. But you need to take care of yourself and remember you don’t owe a thing to anyone.
Take as much time as you need :) We'll just rewatch some videos, they are as much fun to rewatch as they were the 1st time
These models are looking great. I think the message here speaks to a lot of people. Sometimes we get burnt out just trying to paint up a full army, or meet a deadline. Every now and again it helps to take a step back and just paint something fun or put a little time in other projects. Great Video!
I think this should be a series, doing stuff I think is cool
Came here to say the same! The epic stuff is really cool but this change of pace was fun too. I love the gargant project and I’m sure we all can identify with having a bunch of passion projects on deck that could use some love. We’re here for it Emil!
dude videos are in general just better quality when the creators are well rested and have fun. So its not just the right decision for you mental health but also for your channel to take your time! btw its insane how much better the quality of your videos are. I watched a few of your first videos and compared to your latest videos. The script, feeling camera is so much better :D!
Taking time for yourself is hugely important! We can wait :) I love the fact that your decompression is still painting, just working on stuff that's more for yourself! I'd actually love to see more 'break' videos where you just do stuff for yourself!
That is some _HEROIC_ greenstuff sculpting. I can hardly wait to see the results.
That was a great video, Emil. So relaxed. I would like to see more... Thank you
This tops one of my favourite ideas this year, for sheer joy & happiness
You should definitely do more videos like this. It was great watching you do stuff you wanted to do and not be worried about stuff. Getting back to the roots great video, keep them coming.
Go get that break! Real talk, I could watch you convert and paint whatever. Love the dioramas of course, but this was one of my favourite videos in a long time.
Don't get tired! Keep having fun doing those videos and take the time you need 🙂
Also, i like video like this with several little projects, some painting, some conversion, without the need to create the uber iper biggest-than-all project all around; if you put your hearth on those, they are as good as the biggest projects!!
It's a special blessing when you're burned out from something you love, but your rehab is actually doing that thing you love. Paint on, Maestro.
I love your different series of planned content.. however, you guys just having fun creating and painting are incredibly relaxing and satisfying to watch as well. Please keep taking care of your wellbeing… its easy to take for granted. Anyway, warm greetings from Utrecht, the Netherlands ! Cheers 😙
The big projects are cool, but I love just watching you paint small things, so no complaints here!
Please keep the breaks from the mega-epic projects coming, as much as you need. As a pretty regular viewer, I am just happy to see you pop up in my feed. Whether you're painting the coolest new GW sculpt or making a Battletoads diorama, I think most of us will be tuned in. Don't let burnout win!
Quite enjoy these chill videos, would love to see the bigger projects have some of these casual hobby vids intermingled!
Would be awesome to see you guys showcasing your minis and facilities in more detail in some videos! If you feel crushed by schedule, you could even drop a battle report kinda videos time to time as well. Im sure people would love see you Emil and Lucas rolling some dices!
I loved this chill styled episode! Don't think you always have to have big videos and projects. Getting back to your roots is awesome and so enjoyable to watch
It's also super nice to see you paint stuff for your personal projects and not the regular videos :)
Glad to see you’re taking care of yourself/selves, still outrageous results!
Always make time for yourself! Burning out or over working can be a killer. Trust. Time is needed for all of us to regenerate lost time and energy. Time with loved ones and family to appreciate everything you have.
Spring is a good time to have a brake, recharge the battaries, more sunlight :)
I don't know if this has already been said but the large forgeworld kits are only made to order, so they would not have any spare parts for a warlord sitting around (although you'd have to wonder what happened to the missing part did it get cast or left out..) I have been to the HQ a couple of times and the store will only stock a few of the smaller kits and such
Take a chill week every week, love these kind of videos. There are more relatable ^^
And go on holiday no worries
For the record, I loved this video just watching you paint what you want to paint! It felt really personal I loved it! If this is good for your mental health too please do more content like this from time to time! We love everything you paint!
Im proud of you. U got this, make what you love and take a long break if u really down for that.
Hey dude. Thanks to making a video of doing just what makes you happy. Really love watching that in general!
Superb video. Good vibes. This is more real than the usual entertainer persona, so it's refreshing
Squidmar, you deserve a break, self care is group care. Really glad to see you take care of yourself. We don't want you to get burnt out, enjoy your time for yourself and we will see you on the other side of the next video, Skål!
Please take your time and paint what you want. I could watch you a Lucas paint whatever you guys feel like, doesn't need to be grand projects. Just don't burn yourselves out and stay healthy.
Don't burn yourself out! We love your content and the quality at which it is made, and that will be affected if you push yourself too hard. I have so much respect for what you guys do for the community, and the fun you have for yourselves putting these huge projects and dioramas together. Much love ❤️
I prefer video's like these over any diorama video. So much more relatable.
I'm not sure I understand : you are apologizing to us for spending what is basically an extended week end doing the stuff that actually got most of us hooked to your channel in the first place, instead of your super-epic Warlord Titan project?
More of this please !
I love seeing your epic dioramas evolve but what I enjoy even more is when you paint your stuff with a big smile and share it with us.
"I'm worried about burnout... Let's paint some minis for fun!"
What a legend!
I'm not going anywhere! Take time!
Take your time Emil - you get one shot at life so try not to waste time fretting when you just need to step away for a while - but did you have to bring the Mammoth out! Now
I feel like I have to dig mine out of storage and do something with it after 15 years!
I know it probably gets less clicks than big crazy projects but i love to see hobbyists just chill and paint stuff
We love you Emil! And that harry Potter look alike guy is super cool too! If he did some videos while you rested that'd be cool too. You guys are frickin amazing!
