You guys are so underrated and I’m glad I found your Channel again I missed watching these Amazing models the last one I watched was the model plane diorama, its nice to watch you guys build and paint to make something amazing!!!❤❤ Keep it up!! 😊
That’s so kind of you to say. Thank you! This one does feel similar to the model plane diorama from last year - especially in using model parts to build something new. We’re glad that the magical TH-cam algorithm pointed you back in our direction!
This is wonderful! You really captured the "look and feel" of the ostentatious optimism for the future envisioned in 1950's - 1960's "Space Age" concept art! This is definitely giving "Collier's" and "Life" magazine vibes, as well as channeling "The Jetsons," and more recently, "Hello Tomorrow!" (Those "Martian plants" are the icing on the cake!) As a sidebar, I want to thank you for the shot at 1:06. I had no idea that Pegasus Hobbies had a line of (apparently affordable) wargaming buildings and terrain. I'll definitely need to check those out! 5th like
Aw, thank you so much Modeler Mark! You’re always so encouraging and we appreciate you! And YES - the Power Plant kit from Pegasus has been so great for kit bashing. Some really cool shapes and pieces in there. It was one of our favorites for our Star Wars data pads, but the shapes worked so well for this, too. Our friend Brae gifted this set to us and we’ve gotten a lot of use out of it so far!
I've picked up a few Warhammer 40K and Age of Sigmar kits to experiment with. They're imaginative, and wonderfully detailed, and unfortunately, very expensive. I have to thank you again for the head's-up on these Pegasus terrain/building sets. I do have Pegasus kits in my collection (and you should check out their own Science Fiction vehicles - many of these have the same Mid-Century Science Fiction Aesthetic you went for in this project.) But I never knew about their line of wargaming accessories.@@seriously_nerdy
This is brilliant! Your imagination and use of random stuff in this diorama baffles me. I wish I was able to think outside the box like that. I've been a modeler for most of my 45 years here and want to start creating scenes for them to become part of. This video showed me I need to exercise my imagination much more. This is the first Seriously Nerdy video I've watched and won't be the last. Thank you, Alex and Dani!
Jason, that is so dang nice of you to say. Thank you! But believe us when we tell you that if we can do this nonsense, anyone can. We 100% believe in you! If it helps, we got started with our kitbash crafting by just keeping a little cardboard box of “bits” - little leftovers from model kits, cool-looking pieces of trash, 3D printing errors, really anything that looks interesting. We usually start with our bits box, because it feels really low stakes to experiment without feeling like you’re dumping time or money or precious resources down the drain. Every once in a while, we’ll remember that one odd toothpaste cap or IKEA knob sitting in the bits box and it inspires a whole new project! Maybe consider starting your own bits box and see where your imagination takes you? We can’t wait to see what you create!
Aw, thank you! Highly recommend forcing yourself to use things you already own to build a tiny house craft. You’d be surprised what you’ve got in your junk drawer! 🤓
This is a fantastic diorama!! Looks likea day in the life of a Martian settler circa the 1950's. Using UV resin to create the plants was really neat and ended up with awesome results. I've only watched one other of your videos (the SW Podracer) and I had to subscribe half way through this one, but I did miss the commentary from the last one. Hopefully you will bring that back. Brilliant job with this one, I'm off to watch another. Keep on keeping on!!
It's been a while since I've seen your videos. I'm glad this popped inyo my feed, I really enjoyed this one. I'm glad you're venturing into the sci-fi genre. I'm so excited for the next video. Keep it up. I miss you guys. I also miss the commentary.
You're too kind! We thought it might be fun in the sci-fi sandbox for a bit. Glad you enjoyed it! Also thank you for letting us know you like the commentary! We're 50/50 on it. We also get comments from people telling us they watch it on mute, so we're debating the format... all information is helpful!
Why would they watch it in mute? I'm here for the commentary. I love hearing the build process, where the parts came from, how you paint, what paint you use, etc. Here's to more videos and commentaries in the future. To more sci-fi content or whatever comes out of your nerdy minds🍻.
@@mark3208 I second the vote for voiceover/commentary on build videos. If for no other reason than for youto explain why you do the things you do during the process. (i.e. why paint the rock wall blue only to then cover that with your rock base color?? 🤨)
I love your videos. You guys are seriously some of my favorite crafters on youtube.
That’s so nice of you to say! Thank you for the kind words. You made our whole day!
Now that’s a creative and gorgeous diorama. Well done!! I love MCM
Thank you so much! Dani is equally obsessed with MCM. 🤓

@@earlware4322 Agreed. It does help us understand the process more.
Oh no, I may have to go watch Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall now. Great video, but I do miss the narrative a bit.
Dani here! I have never seen Total Recall but I’m adding it to my list! 💛
It has to be the old one because the new one doesn’t go to Mars.😁
