I wanted to mention something I found really neat but is such a minor detail on the project. The fact that, during the collaboration piece of Paint to Life discussing the Cthulhu Mythos, he never receives less than 50% of the screen I found to be a really great thing. So often, collaborations give the other person such a bit part, but giving PtL the majority of the screen time during his segment shows a level of respect for the collaboration that I really appreciate, even as someone who never heard of his channel prior. I just wanted to acknowledge it, because I do really appreciate that level of respect for the creator and his time.
Thank you. I wanted to give him the whole screen haha, but I thought people might want to see me printing/painting the model in this video too. Paint to Life is a great channel, so nice to throw it on and listen to his wonderful stories as he paints miniatures. I recommend everyone check it out. I really am trying to do shout outs in my videos or on my Community Tab to other channels out there, my goal is to help prop up others as I grow as well. It is nice to hear that is apricated by viewers as well.
Thank you for taking the time to comment Space Iguana! I was honoured to be asked by Troy to write a small bit for this awesome piece, and it's so nice of you to recognize that respect.
I think that build came out amazing, a true nail biter for someone with Thalassophobia! (the fear of the ocean or other large, deep bodies of water). Believe it or not, I think the ultimate size worked out in it's favour, not to mention the opacity of the water is just cloudy enough to play with the mind! Thanks for inviting me to narrate a little extra of the Great Old One himself! Cheers!
Thank you! I love the Mythos of HP Lovecraft's cosmic horror. Thank you again for adding such a valuable part to this project! I hope that some new subscribers come your way, you have a great channel.
Thanks my man. The tips that you gave in your Epoxy Resin video helped me a lot. I recommend everyone check out your sweet Diorama video here: th-cam.com/video/mOYysNfCi8U/w-d-xo.html
@@FacilityD20 Troy is 100% correct about MiniQuest64's resin skills. There are great resources on his channel! But I found I learned even more from this poor DK sword fish video th-cam.com/video/vlBuPAGB9d0/w-d-xo.html :D
Ahhh two of my favourite channels - Mike is a true legend, and this build is just brilliant :) I love when a plan doesn't come together and then the "save" turns out better :) well done for stickint at it, and thanks for the video :)
So much to appreciate and praise in this. I'll start with the video: You have a real talent for making long-videos feel like they're short. You make the modeling look easy through your editing process, while at the same time giving full instruction to a novice like myself. I could do this after watching you (I'm not saying I'd do it as well, but I could tackle such a project). There are countless modelers on YT and you are the only one I subscribe to (at all) and watch every single episode. The videos themselves are relaxing, informative & instructional, as well as being very authentic (nice to see your son sneak in!). Notice I haven't even mentioned the build yet?!? The build was beautiful. I myself loved the opacity of the blue and thought it was perfect. The tips for the spackle (let it dry and then work with it a little more) and for the falling water off the model, oh yeah, and let's not forget making waves with modge-podge and an empty airbrush! Genius! I have a diorama for lizardmen that I wanted to do for the longest time, and now I think I have enough confidence to get in there and try it in all its watery goodness! No doubt this is your finest production to date! Well done!
Wow.... thank you for the kind words. It is very motivating to hear that today. People don't get to see the behind the scenes stuff in terms of editing and making a video, this video had over 200 clips and took about 15 hours to edit after a month to make. Trying to put it all together in an entertaining and informative way, while still trying to stay true to myself is hard to do. Taking pictures and making title and thumbnails takes hours to. So when you say you enjoyed the video, along with the actual project, means a lot to me. Thank you.
I just stumbled on this channel and the video was great! @nerdforge is another great one to for her entertainment and talent as well.. I'm finding all the great and talented artist and am currently doing a power rangers diorama because of these such channels 💙
Great job on this man! Some channels just focus on just fantasy or sci-fi, it's cool that you do all kinds of things. Just like folks like me. It's inspiring! Thanks again!
It looks fantastic man I see one thing I would have done differently I would have printed the boats bottom at an angle to make it look like the waves from Cathulu was making it tilt in the water but it looks great I love it
Thank you. I agree with the boat thing. I thought about it, but was rushing a little toward the end of the project and didn't want to bust out the dermal lol
Hi, I'm new to your channel and I have to say, wow! I've been a fan of GM ATANK for a year now, and was directed to see this video. GLAD I DID 🤯 I've learned a lot from ATANK, and I can see, with your totally different painting style, I'll learn a lot from you. Thanks for the education! Looking forward to more.👏👏👍
Awesome build! I have that same model for Cthulhu, but it didn't register how big that thing really is... It's good to see you didn't have any spills with the resin, that's really something that has kept me from using the stuff. Well, that and the price, because let's be honest, I spend MORE than enough on 3d printing resin already. Great Work!
Thanks man! Yeah my biggest surprise was that my enclosure didn't leak. I really want to do another project with Resin, but it is very expensive at over $100 a gallon.
Lol. I started to watch diorama creators. All with silicone. You def went the extra mile to seal it. I've seen they do a nirmal seal and pour everything from one go. But they don't describe what they do. Glad your channel popped on my fed. Just subscribed!
I think that it needs much more waterfalls and texture to that water. And also would be sick if the lighthouse had a real led and make a great diorama even with lights off
I think it turned out amazing. You said you didn't plan it that way but the Water looks perfect and the clifftop was well worth the change. Subscribing and looking forward to seeing more!
With this particular type, it can only do an 1" or so at a time because it gets really hot when it dries and the deeper the resin the hotel it gets and when it cures it will cause it to warp and become malformed.
Having the water be a little cloudy makes sense since if Cthulhu is just now bursting out of the see floor, he's going to be kicking up a considerable amount of silt... I do feel sorry for the poor souls on that ship however, according to the Mythos, just getting close to the Old Ones causes Insanity in humans...the more powerful the Old One, the greater the effect and Cthulhu is supposed to be the most powerful of the Great Old Ones still on Earth so everyone on that ship is now incurably Insane (assuming the shock to their mind didn't kill them outright) and soon to be fish food since Cthulhu is likely going to sink the ship as he continues to thrash about as he finishes emerging from the see floor...
Thanks, the water does look good like that to I think. The diorama looks great sitting on the shelf. Yes for sure everyone on that ship has gone insane by now haha!
Definitely one of those channels that would be better off focusing on the Art, and not the person making it. It'd be better *without* the unnecessary face time with explanations. The art speaks for itself.
You could have just left the caulk base coat and gone directly to the painting without the Mod Podge coat... Epoxy Resin doesn't care about caulking at all...what you do need to be careful with is water and Depth of Pour... Epoxy Resin absolutely HATES water with an Unholy Passion and the pour will crack like crazy during curing...pouring it too thick can also cause cracking because the Resin heats up during curing and if theirs too much Resin, it gets too hot and undergoes an Exothermic Reaction which also results in cracks... There are 2 ways to prevent an Exothermic Reaction...1) don't pour too much volume at one time and 2) use fans to cool the Resin as it cures, the fans can dissipate some of the heat and prevent it from reaching the Exothermic point allowing you to pour a little thicker than you really should, but be careful as it's a very delicate line between a good cure and an Exothermic cure... If you really need to pour a lot of Resin at one time, there are Resins out there designed for that, they are formulated to generate less heat during the curing process allowing much more volume to be poured at one time, the trade off is both they're more expensive and they take MUCH longer then most slow set Resins to cure - most slow set Resins cure in a day or so but deep pour Resins tend to take 3-4 days to fully cure...
Thanks for the tips on the resin. I will be doing another resin build soon and I will be going with a deep pour product. I am going to set a fan on it as you suggested as well, good idea.
@@FacilityD20 Something else you might want to do is when you're building the mould, mask off the edges of the sheets where you're going to glue them to the base and/or each other with tape and spray mould release on the part of the acrylic that will touch the Resin. That should make de-moulding it MUCH easier since the release spray will help keep the Resin from sticking to the Acrylic sheets...

A comment and a like to fuel the rhythm. Because of that collaboration. Huge fan of paint to life.
Nice! Thanks, it does mean a lot hitting that like, subbing, etc. Paint to life is awesome, I have been watching him since the very beginning.
Nice work!! Nice Magic Resin
That shop looks like a dream. How awesome.
Thanks
Well done, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
it's awesome work😋😋😋
Thank you! I am really happy with this build and video!
Ia ia!!! This altar is pleasing the master!
Yes...

Thanks
What an ambitious project! Turned out great.
Thanks a ton... just ordered more resin last night... anther project in the works
Fantastic man!!!
Thanks Zero
This might be my favorite video of yours yet! I loved the lore portion. You're getting crazy good at this stuff! Keep it coming!!
Thank you very much. I am trying to improve little by little.
Amazing diorama, I think it was a good choice to have him coming out of the water like that!
Thanks. In the end it worked out for the better.
Amazing. That is all
Well thanks!
Awesome results! Resin pours are so satisfying to watch 😋
I know right! Thank you.
dang this is nice
Thank you kindly.
@@FacilityD20 your welcome
I think it was a lucky break you ran out of resin. It looks amazing. Cannot wait for the next project.
Thanks! I think so to in the end.
Love it
Thanks
Very impressive! New subscriber.

Great work, amazing, congratulations.

Thank you very much! Happy to hear you liked it
Glad it all worked out for you, Troy. The final dio looks really cool
Thank you all is well that ends well.
This has to be your best project yet. Nice work man!
Thanks! I am happy with the results. Also got to learn about using resin like this, for the next time I use it.
Totally amazing project. You should ask him how much it weighs ;) Any other TH-camr than Troy wouldn't be able to lift it! ;)
Very cool! Always interesting to see projects that go off script get sorted in a nice way :)
Thank you. When I got the model printed I knew then I didn't have enough resin haha.
Ahhh two of my favourite channels - Mike is a true legend, and this build is just brilliant :) I love when a plan doesn't come together and then the "save" turns out better :) well done for stickint at it, and thanks for the video :)

Very cool! Welcome to the Facility, nice to have you here. Drop a comment anytime, I try my best to respond to everyone.
This is quite inspiring. I'd love to do a diorama myself but I wouldn't have anywhere to put it in my one bedroom apartment.
I get that... I need to install another shelf for all these projects.

Looks awesome and love the diorama. Only tiny complaint is the lighthouse looks too clean .... it needed some grunge/weathering on it
Good point! I'll keep that in mind for next time. Thanks.
Just wondering where the Music came from?
Most of my music is from TH-cam's free music library
Does anyone know what cad software he's using?
Blender its free
Cthulhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I knew you would like this one.
You sir are a true believer... :D
What face mask are you using. Ive been seeing that same mask and allot of videos and I've been thinking of buying one.
I think is just a generic 3m I got at the hardware store
💚💚💚💚
Thanks
Why can you only do an inch or two at a time with this resin? Does it just not cure otherwise?
With this particular type, it can only do an 1" or so at a time because it gets really hot when it dries and the deeper the resin the hotel it gets and when it cures it will cause it to warp and become malformed.
