Hahaha totally agree with you there, but the one I painted here didn't even end up on the final miniature, so technically it was a little unnecessary! Still included it in the end though, so maybe you're right lol!
I just watched studson studio's build on howl's moving castle and i was thinking "what if someone were to build atla's upside down air temple" and as I scrolled through his comment section i came across your channel and the exact build i was thinking of :0. I just wanna say your build is really impressive. I love all the details you put into the temple and cliff and little sculptures. i literally just came here lol but i'm really inspired to work on a miniature version of the frog's house in travelling frog(game) or maybe Arrietty's little house under the floorboards :D
Hahaha I honestly can't believe you could say this was impressive after watching Studson's build, that's on another level! Appreciate it so so much though, glad to know a little bit of serendipity was working in our favor! Super cool projects, hope you get to do one (or both) of them in the future! I did a tiny piece of Arrietty's bedroom a bit ago- that whole house is just so beautiful~
trying to remake something smaller and having it be the same size is too real 😭😭 loved the little fountain!! fountains are always my favorite miniature elements.
Yeahhhhh it happens all the time lol, I look away from the other one for one second and suddenly I've done the same thing twice! So glad you could enjoy it, wish you luck with all your future making of things to scale haha!
Ahhh that was a great episode! I love Toph so much, such an awesome character. Totally, same for me! Watching it now still lives up to expectations, it's the best~
This is completely rad as always, I especially love using the lack of shelf space as inspiration to create an iconic upside-down world. I hope for your sake you get to work on a smaller project next because they are always so impressive, from giant house on a cliff to a tiny borrowers bedroom in a cookie tin. Seeing you work on projects from media that clearly means so much to you is just the icing on top of your incredible builds because you can truly tell in the attention to details and beautifully done editing. I think you've done the show more than justice with this, sincerely a long time avatar fan and new but enthusiastic MechanicalFiend fan.
Kinda always say this, but I seriously don't think I would finish projects if I was making things that I wasn't passionate about. Ahh seriously, thank you that is all far far too kind, always so happy you could enjoy! And yeah really want to do a smaller project next lol the problem is all the projects I have on the list are... big of course. So I'm still not really sure what to do tbh haha, we'll see?
Ooooo that's actually a really cool idea, I was trying to think of other projects that could potentially be hung. Perhaps in the future! Thank you so much for the suggestion~
Ok but everything about this is incredible but the TINY BABY APPA is the best I love it. Incredible use of materials I'd never have thought of too! The yarn was a wild and intense choice but it worked out so well!!!
Well if there's one thing we're doing here, it's definitely making questionable material decisions haha! Having super limited options for material pretty much always yields some creative solutions! Really glad you could enjoy~
Once again coming trough with the tastes, the crafting AND editing skills!!! That was literally so cool and beautful I'm in love~ I must say Avatar Tlab is one of the most inspiring and breathtaking series I've seen in my life! But also one of my biggest disapointment since the moment I discovered in my childhood that there actually was no books even though the series is organised with books... My book-thirsty 9 years old was cryyyiiiiing :)
Haha well technically there are some related books now! Comics from after the series and I think there are a few actual books too. Either way, the show tells the story so well that part of me doesn't want it to be in any other format (we saw what they did to the movie lol). Thank you as always for all the nice words, so happy you could enjoy everything~
I've really started to think I should have put some warning that was coming up haha, apologies! Thank you so much, seriously, it makes me the happiest to hear you can enjoy everything~
All wonderful choices! You kinda can't go wrong with picking favorites with Avatar haha! And you are far too kind oh my goodness, so happy you could enjoy it~
I don’t know what to praise to you for Devon… your patience, your creativity, your crafting skills, editing skills, all the entertainment you bring into your videos or the way you make making these miniatures look so easy to make🤷🏻♀️….?!
Ahhh thank you again, you are always the sweetest, I never know just how to show all my gratitude either! The actual construction wasn't all that difficult for this one, but definitely hit a bit of a mental block this time around haha. Glad it's finished now though!
Thank you so much! Super glad you liked the intro, I had so much fun working on it! Zuko has such great character development, he's a wonderful choice. And waterbending is awesome, always loved the healing aspect of it~
@@MechanicalFiend I always feel myself torn between being the healer and the berserk of the group :D but I dont like to play with fire, I am terribly scared of heights and I have speleophobia so I cant even be an earthbender so water it is then :D just dont put me in deep water tho :D
that was fun, thanks:) if you use silicone parchment paper in a laser printer, you can make a little transfer image that you just press on the carving clay, for perfect details
You know I actually tried that in a different project and for super tiny details, it was incredibly hard for me to get it to work. Perhaps I was doing something wrong, maybe I'll have to try again in the future! Appreciate the tip very much though, thank you~
@@MechanicalFiend something tacky on the surface, i used chapstick for speed, but look uip alastairs duncans method for hard wearing method. yours look good either way.
I LOVED the intro! Super great video, A++! Right now I’m working on a crazy wizard tower that’s about 3 foot tall, that looks like a giant dragon took a bite out of it, with a huge chunk of the shingles and bricks ripped off, with only the wooden “structure” inside showing. I’ve used a lot of your crafting tips for some of my projects, especially your aluminum foil rocks! This is actually my first non-themed build, just something out of my imagination. I’m also working on the flying howls moving castle from the end of howls moving castle ( I already made the big main one) but it’s pretty hard, considering that there are LITERALLY only two shots of it from the move, a side view and a top view of the back half. So, 🤞I can make up the rest of it. Thanks so much for inspiring me, you and all the other crafters on TH-cam have taught me a lot of good crafting skills, and I’ve gotten a lot better. Thank you so much!
That sounds so insanely cool, oh my goodness! Really hope all your projects are going well, they sound like pretty big undertakings haha, props to you! If you want to share them when you're done, I would love to see them so much! Yeahhhh it's always super difficult when there's only a few references, but that also allows you to be a little more creative. Love the little garden addition on the flying version! Anyway just thank you so so much for all the super nice words, seriously that's all way too nice. Really happy to hear the videos could help in any way and wish you luck you with the crafting~
@@MechanicalFiend thanks so much! I would love to send you some pics as soon as they’re done! The howls castle may take a bit though, the main big one I made took over a month
This build is probably my favourite so far. You are gifted, even though you doubt yourself, it is often that doubt that drives you on to greater things. Awesome build, thank you.
I think doubt is unavoidable, which is fine as long as you continue going despite it. That's how you grow! Thank you again my friend, so happy you liked this one, definitely a special project for me.
Huh, if that is true, that is so lovely! Though I don't know much about Bhutan, all that I have seen of it in videos was very beautiful! Thank you so much as always, glad you liked them~
This is great. A great tip I have learned is, when using sand/dirt, if you spray it with isopropyl alchohol and then use a dropper to drip diluted glue over it, it really sets everything without clumping up the sand.
This was really fun to watch! I think you might enjoy making your own clump foliage, it's both cheap and easy and gives you so much freedom to add any colours of foliage and mosses you want.
Glad you could enjoy it! There's a ton of different foliage/grass DIYs that I've seen that I would absolutely love to try at some point when a project comes around for it. The problem is that I gotta remember that in the moment, which I often don't haha. Hopefully now that you've said it, I will!
So.. You picked another "EASY" one ... LOL ! But seriously .. this is AMAZING! The story.. the detail .. the process .. and then the stunning final result .. ! I am always in absolute awe when I watch your videos !
08:21 I knit. This past year, I added to the insanity by unplying my yarn. I use the thinnest needles I can find, even using florists' wire where necessary - but using sock yarn that is labeled as SUPERFINE, it's prehhhhhhtty gosh-dern thin, but made from twisting 3-5 thinner yarns -- like a cable suspension bridge, the wire cables have much more strength when they are twisted, layered, and twisted some more. Well, taking the yarn apart not only leaves me with insanely thin yarn, but insanely frail yarn, too-boot! And, it takes a lonnnnnng time to do - and, lots get broken because of how weak it becomes. So, ya, I feel ya when you spoke about unravelling to get the effect you need for this project.
Yeah the individual strands can definitely be pretty fragile on their own, that's why I tend to only use them for aesthetic purposes rather than functional haha. Totally feel your pain though, sounds like your yarn is a ton thinner, which I can only imagine is super difficult to work with. Wish you well with all your future knitting and yarn unraveling, I am with you my friend!
You literally leave me in awe with EVERY project you do, your creativity astounds me! You deserve so much more recognition. You deserve over a million subscribers over night with the art you create!!! I’m so glad I found your channel. :)
Oh my goodness stop, your kindness is astounding me! So happy you found yourself here and thank you for your super nice words of course! Honestly, if I woke up to a million subscribers I think I would never make a video again, it would be so terrifying hahaha, but really appreciate you saying that~
Wow what a great job you did. What a smart idea using the string for the roofing tile. It looks so good. I enjoyed watching you build the Western Air Bender Temple.
Ahhh well thank you so much! The actual creation of the video as a whole is absolutely my favorite part, so adding in small extra parts where I get to be creative and film some fun sequences is the best! Really glad you could enjoy~
My younger self would have said his favorite character is Zuko, and he'd totally be a firebender, but by now, it's Iroh and I think waterbender actually fits better. I just found this channel yesterday, and I'm currently, almost finished binging everything on it, but this craft is probably my favorite. Everyone can put something on top of a shelf, but making a diorama that goes under it? That's something you don't see every day. ^^ And it brought back some old memories.
Your work is sooo inspiring. I have a small kid and i really hope to teach him about reusing and repurposing old toys or other recycable materials with projects like that. Keep up the amazing work! Oh, and maybe you could use thin wires to place Appa in a more dynamic pose and cover it with hot glue so it looks like "air streams",like a flying effect! Just an idea. Again, you are AMAZING!
That is so awesome to hear, really hope he gets to grow up making stuff! A cool idea, could have totally done something with a flying effect... though actually thinking about it, Appa doesn't fly super dynamically in the show lol. Regardless, thank you for the idea and so happy you could enjoy~
I love the Avatar series and I think you did a fantastic job. While Iroh is my favorite character I think Sokka would be my 2nd favorite because he's goofy and can still keeps up with the rest of the gang as a non bender. Lastly Sokka is simply a well rounded down to earth kind of guy.
@@MechanicalFiendthe design is undeniably amazing and I’ve never imagined a world with the western air temple in it but u just that possible. Thanks 🙏🏾
Your models look so cool, you can tell a lot of hard work goes into them and that you care so much about what you're doing. The Western Air Temple is the best because it looks awesome.
The best thing you can do for yourself in crafting is to pick projects that you're super passionate about! Really happy you could enjoy it, thank you so much for all the super nice words~
If I could sustain making the stuff I am now and also having an exclusive Avatar crafting channel, I totally would ahhh! As it is, I struggle putting out videos in a timely manner already so... I wish haha! Not sure if I'll do the robot, tbh I love robots, but probably not the thing I would be drawn to make in miniature. Appreciate the suggestion a lot though~
if a future build dosnt require reindeer moss, pls sneak a piece in. for a long time i couldnt build anything without something needing a bit of gorilla tape, so now i sneak a piece in just to have it there
Hahaha I would say yes, but believe it or not I am running out of reindeer moss and my dollar store didn't have it anymore! So I have a different dollar store moss now. The end of an era!
Omg. It looks amazing. This is the best thing I have seen on TH-cam. 😭😭😭 I grew up with Avatar the Last Airbender. It is the best show ever been created. Even today I still draw wisdom from it. My favorite person in the show is Katara. Growing up, I actually love Toph the best, but as I got older I learnt to appreciate Katara more. It's so difficult to do all the things she does and it is very lucky to have someone like her in your life. 😭😭😭 My favorite episode would of course be, the best episode of the entire show: 1-11, the Great Divide! 😂😂😂 Jk. It's Sozin's Comet 4 parters. Also I love 1x12 the storm, 1x13 the blue spirit, 1x20 seige of the north 2, 2x2 cave of 2 lovers, 2x7 Zuko alone, 2x9 the Bitter work, 2x11 the desert, 2x15 Tale of Ba Sing Se, 3x1 awakening, 3x6 Avatar and the firelord, 3x11 to 3x17.
As one crafter to another the yarn gluing on the roofs may have been faster if you would've measured how long of pieces u needed for each roof and cut them a head of time or just cut a bunch of piece around the same length a little longer than u think you need and cut a whole bunch out so you can put a bunch of the glue lines down and place the yarn down quickly and then just trim the extra yarn off after everything was done and try
To be honest, the problem wasn't really that it took longer that way, it was simply that there were so many roofs to do it on haha! I think it would have been about the same time no matter what way I did it since all the roofs were completely different sizes. The main reason I did it this way is because there would be no waste! Really appreciate the tip though, will keep it in mind for the future~
You were just randomly shown in my feed, and I'm glad I clicked on it. While I have no idea on anything Avatar, I will say that the diorama you made is very good. I look forward to more crafts from you.
So happy you found yourself here my friend, thank you so much! It's honestly always the best thing to hear that you could enjoy regardless of knowing about the source material. Thank you for all the kind words~
Oh totally, woodland scenics has a ton of really cool stuff! Unfortunately, not at the point where I can afford stuff like that haha, but perhaps in the future~
Ahhh you're the sweetest, thank you so much for all of your kind words always and the support of course! Really can't even put into words how much I appreciate it all~
I think this is the first video of this size that I've seen without a single dislike (at the time of me watching this), just goes to show how great this is
I am required to learn how to make mockups in interior design school but also want to do this as a hobby. I always had the idea that I needed expensive materials and equipment to pursue this but now I know better. This shit rocks keep it up!
Really glad to hear that, I honestly struggled with that for a while too and kinda thought what I was doing couldn't be considered "real model making" because of the materials I was using lol. So I'm always so happy to hear this could help other people that maybe can't sink that kind of money to start. Hope you do, sounds like it would go along really well with what you're studying!
Love love love ❤️😭 my favorite show of all time I remember the first time they took it off netflix I was devastated. Then my mom get me the show on dvd. I cried so hard. ❤️ I would definitely be an earth bender.
Your mom got it right, with Avatar you gotta own it! Can't risk it with all these fickle streaming sites haha! So so happy you could enjoy this! Earthbending is a great choice, I feel like it could potentially be so useful for crafting (and many other things of course lol)~
It's the best, still remains my favorite show to this day! And waterbending is a wonderful choice, being a waterbender with healing abilities is also an option I would love haha~
Hahaha glad to hear you liked the result! It's a really fun piece, I always find myself looking at it because it's right above my computer! Thank you for the kind words~
Ahhh well I am so happy to hear that, thank you so much! The videos as a whole are always the most important part for me, so that's the best thing to hear~
New Patreon! I support you as an artist. Keep doing what you love. Don't compromise, don't let anyone ever put you down. You will continue to do great things with drive and focus! Love your builds!
Oh my goodness stooooop you're too sweet I can't handle this! Thank you so much for both the support and the nice words, seriously it means a lot more than you know. Always wishing you the best with your crafting as well~
All I've got is an excess of love and enthusiasm, so we gotta cram it in as much as possible haha! Seriously, appreciate you saying that so much, thank you~
Oh my goodness you are too kind, thank you so much! Appreciate it all so much! Don't know how to do things any other way than in my own style, so definitely don't think that's changing any time soon haha~
Enjoyed this very much. The animated series is visually captivating. Going back from the start, when Aang is emerging from the ice with the glowing blues, would be something to see in a recreation. I knew at the time when I watched Avatar: tLAB it was going to be a great show. I've been a fan of anime, and animation in general, for a long time. I'm just an old kid at heart.
Oooo that would be a fun project, definitely some cool lighting options for that! Totally! I grew up watching the show, but it's one of the only series I still go back and watch to this day enjoying just as much as when it first came out. Such an incredibly done show!
AHHHH THIS IS MY FAVORITE TEMPLE THEY VISITEDDD I remember wanting to live there so bad when I was little lmao also I love a good jet and the freedom fighters 👍
It's honestly both horrifying and the most exciting thought ever to live there haha! My favorite as well, such a cool design! Totally, might have to make part of their hideout one day, that would be super fun~
This is by far the most underrated channel on TH-cam… come on Internet - let’s get this awesome artist out there!! Your channel is so wholesome and your presenting style is just cool 😎 Thanks for the great art and brilliant videos!
My favorite character is Zuko. Not because I am not a huge fan of Iroh, but because I can relate to Zuko's Arch a lot. And I would probably be a waterbender. Cause Ice and Steam and Snow and Blood and water is just my spiritual element, also I drink a lot of it :3
Zuko totally has one of the best character arcs in a story I've ever seen, so well done! Water is a super cool element, has so many interesting branches of it for sure. Love the healing aspect to it, a great choice!
You remind me of Nerdforge, really enjoying your content. As for fav character, Sokka quirky weird & grows to be a bad ass towards the end (that goes for everyone in the show).
Ahh well that is quite a large compliment, love their work so much! Oh absolutely, Sokka going from being kinda undervalued to a massive hero at the end was so rewarding to see! A wonderful choice~
After this video I binged all the others, aaaaaaaand you're now my comfort craft youtuber 💜 Love your works, your editing and commentary! your vibe is just so cool GHGHHGHG-
Oh my goodness ahhh you are so sweet, really happy you could enjoy everything! Thank you so much for all the super kind words and appreciate you giving the videos a watch~
Absolutely stunning ! When you did the shots of finish project I thought that's the edited version of scenes from the ATLA and I was in shock how real and beautiful your temples look like. It's unreal how real they are.
Ahhhh oh my goodness that is the biggest compliment, thank you so much! Don't think I could ever quite live up to the actual show, but really appreciate you saying that- those shots are always my favorite to shoot~
Nice Skyrim Map ! Last time I was in Skyrim I could not find a Spear. Last time I was in Cyrodiil I could not find a spear. Pray for Spears please lol. You make some good stuff on this channel.
The Skyrim map is such a perfect prop for making things look old haha! Hoping for all the spears for you and so glad you could enjoy, thank you so much~

"which was completely unnecessary"
i strongly disagree. sky bison murals are ALWAYS necessary
Hahaha totally agree with you there, but the one I painted here didn't even end up on the final miniature, so technically it was a little unnecessary! Still included it in the end though, so maybe you're right lol!
"Little pointless detail work" is never pointless! It feeds our brains what we need to do what we do.
Definitely agree, without working on those things I honestly am not sure I would finish projects sometimes haha!
The last two builds you’ve done have been next level. These are so good, you are extremely talented.
Yesss! I was thinking the same thing. She’s really outdoing herself
Ahhh you're too kind, tbh really feeling the intro lately in that I have a lot to learn lol. But appreciate that so much, thank you~

Sometimes I'm ok at explaining things and other times... haha really glad you could enjoy it, thank you!
The intro though
Was an absolutley a Masterpiece
Really glad you liked it ahhh, thank you! Had so much fun working on it~
The build is amazing but like you got pipes the singing, the building, the measuring, the details. 👏👏
Oh my goodness you are so very kind, thank you! Really happy to hear you could enjoy everything~
I watched it once, went and got my daughter and watched it again together. I got a hug just for calling her over to watch. Thanks.
That makes me so happy to hear, really hope she enjoyed it! Thank you so much for all the nice words as always, appreciate it more than I can say~
also the intro was a work of art itself, I'm so impressed
Haha thank you (again)! The intro was so much fun to work on, so always happy to hear that!
6:15
And then I started to cry
Also I love this channel. it's history, crafting and ATLA 😃
I've really started to think I should have put some warning that was coming up haha, apologies! Thank you so much, seriously, it makes me the happiest to hear you can enjoy everything~
came for the builds, stayed for the persona. youre very interesting to listen to while following your craft.
much love from australia!
Well hey appreciate that so much, thank you! Always happy to hear you could enjoy everything~
My favorite character is Zuko (followed by Katara and Toph), and I'd be a waterbender who tearbends over how pretty this build is!!! T_T
All wonderful choices! You kinda can't go wrong with picking favorites with Avatar haha! And you are far too kind oh my goodness, so happy you could enjoy it~
Zuko!!! To restore my honour! Favourite character by far. And fire bender of course 🔥
Zuko easily had the best character development... not just in Avatar, in media in general lol. A great choice!
Unbelievable! U impress me! Sense of observation, of detail, patience...I'm the same !
Congratulations from France !
Really glad you liked it, thank you so much! Appreciate all the nice words a ton~
Wicked immaculate. I really love the overgrown parts with the moss.
Moss always seems to add so much to a project haha! Thank you, really happy you liked the result~
Those final glamour shots are so beautifully immersive 😍
Ahhh so happy to hear it, this one was particularly hard to film haha! Glad you enjoyed them~
I don’t know what to praise to you for Devon… your patience, your creativity, your crafting skills, editing skills, all the entertainment you bring into your videos or the way you make making these miniatures look so easy to make🤷🏻♀️….?!
Ahhh thank you again, you are always the sweetest, I never know just how to show all my gratitude either! The actual construction wasn't all that difficult for this one, but definitely hit a bit of a mental block this time around haha. Glad it's finished now though!
That intro OMG and the temple turned absolutely great. I like Zuko and I feel myself as water bender
Thank you so much! Super glad you liked the intro, I had so much fun working on it! Zuko has such great character development, he's a wonderful choice. And waterbending is awesome, always loved the healing aspect of it~
@@MechanicalFiend I always feel myself torn between being the healer and the berserk of the group :D but I dont like to play with fire, I am terribly scared of heights and I have speleophobia so I cant even be an earthbender so water it is then :D just dont put me in deep water tho :D
Toph. No doubts. Best character ever in the world!
Amazing projects. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Toph is such a wonderful character, a great choice! Thank you for all the kind words! Really glad you could enjoy~
that was fun, thanks:) if you use silicone parchment paper in a laser printer, you can make a little transfer image that you just press on the carving clay, for perfect details
You know I actually tried that in a different project and for super tiny details, it was incredibly hard for me to get it to work. Perhaps I was doing something wrong, maybe I'll have to try again in the future! Appreciate the tip very much though, thank you~

That sounds so insanely cool, oh my goodness! Really hope all your projects are going well, they sound like pretty big undertakings haha, props to you! If you want to share them when you're done, I would love to see them so much! Yeahhhh it's always super difficult when there's only a few references, but that also allows you to be a little more creative. Love the little garden addition on the flying version! Anyway just thank you so so much for all the super nice words, seriously that's all way too nice. Really happy to hear the videos could help in any way and wish you luck you with the crafting~
@@MechanicalFiend thanks so much! I would love to send you some pics as soon as they’re done! The howls castle may take a bit though, the main big one I made took over a month
This build is probably my favourite so far. You are gifted, even though you doubt yourself, it is often that doubt that drives you on to greater things. Awesome build, thank you.
I think doubt is unavoidable, which is fine as long as you continue going despite it. That's how you grow! Thank you again my friend, so happy you liked this one, definitely a special project for me.
the intro is the best thing ever
Ahhh well that is so very kind of you to say, had so much fun working on it! Glad you liked it~
Bhutan is said the happiest country in the world. Yes, I love those tiny statue u have made. It’s like living in another world with lots fantasy 💙💙
Huh, if that is true, that is so lovely! Though I don't know much about Bhutan, all that I have seen of it in videos was very beautiful! Thank you so much as always, glad you liked them~
This is like Toph sanbending little Ba Sing Se at the beach! Impressive 🤩
And yes! Iroh ❤️
If only I could have sandbended this, would have saved so much time! Thank you so much~
I'm fan of Avatar: the last Airbender. You did splendid job on air Temple.
This scene is my favorite in the series.
Totally, the design for this air temple really packed a punch, so unique! Super glad you could enjoy, thank you so much~
I love your singing! No wonder you'd be an airbender
Now that you've said that, I wonder if I actually belong with the nomads lol. (Also thank you!)
I was already blown away by the intro....
Well hopefully it doesn't all go down hill from there hahaha, glad you liked it! Had so much fun working on it~
@@MechanicalFiend It only got better!! I'm very impressed by everything you do! Good that you had fun, that's the most important thing x
YOU DIDNT EVEN GET TO THE BUILD YET IM STILL AT the first minute and im already so very extremely impressed 😭😭😭
Ahhhhh stop oh my goodness, really happy you could enjoy the beginning!
Sooo great, and great idea using the underside of your shelf. I feel like I'd be a water or air bender
Thank you so much, glad you could enjoy it! Both wonderful choices~
This is great. A great tip I have learned is, when using sand/dirt, if you spray it with isopropyl alchohol and then use a dropper to drip diluted glue over it, it really sets everything without clumping up the sand.
Yes, I've been wanting to try that forever! I just don't have a dropper or containers to mix stuff at the moment, hopefully someday soon~
Amazing, but you absolutely did not need to bring my 'Leaves from the Vine' ptsd back. Now I'm crying
I apologize very much my friend, I should have thought to put in a warning!
This was really fun to watch! I think you might enjoy making your own clump foliage, it's both cheap and easy and gives you so much freedom to add any colours of foliage and mosses you want.
Glad you could enjoy it! There's a ton of different foliage/grass DIYs that I've seen that I would absolutely love to try at some point when a project comes around for it. The problem is that I gotta remember that in the moment, which I often don't haha. Hopefully now that you've said it, I will!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG. My favorite character has to be June who rides around on her Shirsu
Hahaha so glad you could enjoy it! Wow June is a really interesting pick, don't hear that one too often! She's super cool, a great choice~
So.. You picked another "EASY" one ... LOL ! But seriously .. this is AMAZING! The story.. the detail .. the process .. and then the stunning final result .. ! I am always in absolute awe when I watch your videos !
Yeah... I gotta calm down next time lol! Thank you so so so much for all the super kind words, always so happy to hear you could enjoy everything~

I knit.
This past year, I added to the insanity by unplying my yarn. I use the thinnest needles I can find, even using florists' wire where necessary - but using sock yarn that is labeled as SUPERFINE, it's prehhhhhhtty gosh-dern thin, but made from twisting 3-5 thinner yarns -- like a cable suspension bridge, the wire cables have much more strength when they are twisted, layered, and twisted some more. Well, taking the yarn apart not only leaves me with insanely thin yarn, but insanely frail yarn, too-boot! And, it takes a lonnnnnng time to do - and, lots get broken because of how weak it becomes. So, ya, I feel ya when you spoke about unravelling to get the effect you need for this project.
Yeah the individual strands can definitely be pretty fragile on their own, that's why I tend to only use them for aesthetic purposes rather than functional haha. Totally feel your pain though, sounds like your yarn is a ton thinner, which I can only imagine is super difficult to work with. Wish you well with all your future knitting and yarn unraveling, I am with you my friend!
Souther Air temple would be epic!!
Let's be real, all the air temples would be pretty awesome to make
You literally leave me in awe with EVERY project you do, your creativity astounds me! You deserve so much more recognition. You deserve over a million subscribers over night with the art you create!!! I’m so glad I found your channel. :)
Oh my goodness stop, your kindness is astounding me! So happy you found yourself here and thank you for your super nice words of course! Honestly, if I woke up to a million subscribers I think I would never make a video again, it would be so terrifying hahaha, but really appreciate you saying that~
Wow what a great job you did. What a smart idea using the string for the roofing tile. It looks so good. I enjoyed watching you build the Western Air Bender Temple.
Thank you so much, really happy to hear you could enjoy it~
She's back! Fantastic build!
Don't tell anyone, but I've secretly been here the whole time haha! Thank you so much, glad you could enjoy it~
absolutely amazed with not only the quality of your work, but the amount of detail you put into things like intros as well!
Ahhh well thank you so much! The actual creation of the video as a whole is absolutely my favorite part, so adding in small extra parts where I get to be creative and film some fun sequences is the best! Really glad you could enjoy~
The photo angles you took at the end of the video really did justice for the temple
Looks amazing!
Ahh so happy to hear that, I always have the best time filming the final shots! Thank you so much~
once again you amaze me with both your crafting skills and your editing skills - that intro was exceptional !!! 🥵
Ahhh so happy you liked it! I really have so much fun making these intros haha! Always glad you can enjoy~
My younger self would have said his favorite character is Zuko, and he'd totally be a firebender, but by now, it's Iroh and I think waterbender actually fits better.
I just found this channel yesterday, and I'm currently, almost finished binging everything on it, but this craft is probably my favorite.
Everyone can put something on top of a shelf, but making a diorama that goes under it?
That's something you don't see every day. ^^
And it brought back some old memories.
Your work is sooo inspiring. I have a small kid and i really hope to teach him about reusing and repurposing old toys or other recycable materials with projects like that. Keep up the amazing work!
Oh, and maybe you could use thin wires to place Appa in a more dynamic pose and cover it with hot glue so it looks like "air streams",like a flying effect! Just an idea.
Again, you are AMAZING!
That is so awesome to hear, really hope he gets to grow up making stuff! A cool idea, could have totally done something with a flying effect... though actually thinking about it, Appa doesn't fly super dynamically in the show lol. Regardless, thank you for the idea and so happy you could enjoy~
Omg! That is AMAZING!! Avatar has shaped me so much. My favorite tv show
Yes! The same for me! It really had such a big impact on my life in ways that I never expected, what a fantastic show~
SO good! The way you filmed the reveal, for a few seconds I thought it was the show - lol that was trippy.
Woah, seriously? That's honestly really cool to hear, I always hope that I'm doing the source material justice haha! Thank you for saying that~
I love the Avatar series and I think you did a fantastic job.
While Iroh is my favorite character I think Sokka would be my 2nd favorite because he's goofy and can still keeps up with the rest of the gang as a non bender. Lastly Sokka is simply a well rounded down to earth kind of guy.
Your arts are really inspiring...❤
Ahhh that's the best thing to hear, wish you luck with any future art/projects~
Omg the production quality on the reveal! Thought I was looking at a new 3d/live action Avatar series
Oh my goodness that is far too kind, but happy to hear you thought so haha! Always have so much fun filming the final shots~
Always looking forward to your next creations!
Lol same, who knows what I'll do next? Not me! No seriously, thank you so much, appreciate that more than I can possibly say~
this is absolutely breath taking
Ahhh that is too kind, thank you so much! It was such a fun one to build, the design is the breathtaking thing tbh!
@@MechanicalFiendthe design is undeniably amazing and I’ve never imagined a world with the western air temple in it but u just that possible. Thanks 🙏🏾
So much ❤️ for your art, so much attention to detail, you rock!
Thank you so so much, that's so very kind of you! Always happy you can enjoy the projects~
Your models look so cool, you can tell a lot of hard work goes into them and that you care so much about what you're doing. The Western Air Temple is the best because it looks awesome.
The best thing you can do for yourself in crafting is to pick projects that you're super passionate about! Really happy you could enjoy it, thank you so much for all the super nice words~
I support this plan of an all-Avatar channel! Maybe the giant robot from the end of Legend of Korra next??
If I could sustain making the stuff I am now and also having an exclusive Avatar crafting channel, I totally would ahhh! As it is, I struggle putting out videos in a timely manner already so... I wish haha! Not sure if I'll do the robot, tbh I love robots, but probably not the thing I would be drawn to make in miniature. Appreciate the suggestion a lot though~
if a future build dosnt require reindeer moss, pls sneak a piece in. for a long time i couldnt build anything without something needing a bit of gorilla tape, so now i sneak a piece in just to have it there
Hahaha I would say yes, but believe it or not I am running out of reindeer moss and my dollar store didn't have it anymore! So I have a different dollar store moss now. The end of an era!
Excellent, worthy of many cabbages
It is truly an honor, I promise to treasure all the cabbages and keep them safe from harm~
Omg. It looks amazing. This is the best thing I have seen on TH-cam. 😭😭😭
I grew up with Avatar the Last Airbender. It is the best show ever been created. Even today I still draw wisdom from it.
My favorite person in the show is Katara. Growing up, I actually love Toph the best, but as I got older I learnt to appreciate Katara more. It's so difficult to do all the things she does and it is very lucky to have someone like her in your life. 😭😭😭
My favorite episode would of course be, the best episode of the entire show: 1-11, the Great Divide! 😂😂😂
Jk. It's Sozin's Comet 4 parters. Also I love 1x12 the storm, 1x13 the blue spirit, 1x20 seige of the north 2, 2x2 cave of 2 lovers, 2x7 Zuko alone, 2x9 the Bitter work, 2x11 the desert, 2x15 Tale of Ba Sing Se, 3x1 awakening, 3x6 Avatar and the firelord, 3x11 to 3x17.
omg one thing to say: love this
im a big ass fan of Avatar, thank you for honoring it so well!! aaaah and Appa is so cute! much love!
Thank you thank you, oh my goodness you are too sweet! So happy you thought it did it justice!
As one crafter to another the yarn gluing on the roofs may have been faster if you would've measured how long of pieces u needed for each roof and cut them a head of time or just cut a bunch of piece around the same length a little longer than u think you need and cut a whole bunch out so you can put a bunch of the glue lines down and place the yarn down quickly and then just trim the extra yarn off after everything was done and try
To be honest, the problem wasn't really that it took longer that way, it was simply that there were so many roofs to do it on haha! I think it would have been about the same time no matter what way I did it since all the roofs were completely different sizes. The main reason I did it this way is because there would be no waste! Really appreciate the tip though, will keep it in mind for the future~
You were just randomly shown in my feed, and I'm glad I clicked on it. While I have no idea on anything Avatar, I will say that the diorama you made is very good. I look forward to more crafts from you.
So happy you found yourself here my friend, thank you so much! It's honestly always the best thing to hear that you could enjoy regardless of knowing about the source material. Thank you for all the kind words~
For cool trees look at woodland scenics medium green bushes you can make bushes, trees and grassy vibes out of them and it looks very realistic!
Oh totally, woodland scenics has a ton of really cool stuff! Unfortunately, not at the point where I can afford stuff like that haha, but perhaps in the future~
@@MechanicalFiend for sure dude! 😁
@@MechanicalFiend that air temple though, as a bigg avatar fan I just ahhh I’m in love 😤
I'm always inspired by how you make these incredible miniatures using only what you have on hand. I did join your patreon - thanks for opening it!
Ahhh you're the sweetest, thank you so much for all of your kind words always and the support of course! Really can't even put into words how much I appreciate it all~
I think this is the first video of this size that I've seen without a single dislike (at the time of me watching this), just goes to show how great this is
Not gonna lie, I too am quite shocked about that haha! Appreciate it so much more than I can say, always happy people can enjoy~
Dude!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10 and definitely the cabbage guy
I am required to learn how to make mockups in interior design school but also want to do this as a hobby. I always had the idea that I needed expensive materials and equipment to pursue this but now I know better. This shit rocks keep it up!
Really glad to hear that, I honestly struggled with that for a while too and kinda thought what I was doing couldn't be considered "real model making" because of the materials I was using lol. So I'm always so happy to hear this could help other people that maybe can't sink that kind of money to start. Hope you do, sounds like it would go along really well with what you're studying!
Love love love ❤️😭 my favorite show of all time I remember the first time they took it off netflix I was devastated. Then my mom get me the show on dvd. I cried so hard. ❤️ I would definitely be an earth bender.
Your mom got it right, with Avatar you gotta own it! Can't risk it with all these fickle streaming sites haha! So so happy you could enjoy this! Earthbending is a great choice, I feel like it could potentially be so useful for crafting (and many other things of course lol)~
Water bender. Absolutely love avatar!
It's the best, still remains my favorite show to this day! And waterbending is a wonderful choice, being a waterbender with healing abilities is also an option I would love haha~
Wow, I want one in my room. AMAZING
Hahaha glad to hear you liked the result! It's a really fun piece, I always find myself looking at it because it's right above my computer! Thank you for the kind words~
okay but can we acknowledge the skills you have in terms of editing too? like wtf this is so good
Ahhh well I am so happy to hear that, thank you so much! The videos as a whole are always the most important part for me, so that's the best thing to hear~
@@MechanicalFiend Keep on going! I watched a lot of your videos and shared it with my friends! I really love all the art you make
18:43 such a cool shelf. :D Fantastic work
Truly my absolute favorite part of my room haha, thank you so much!
New Patreon! I support you as an artist. Keep doing what you love. Don't compromise, don't let anyone ever put you down. You will continue to do great things with drive and focus! Love your builds!
Oh my goodness stooooop you're too sweet I can't handle this! Thank you so much for both the support and the nice words, seriously it means a lot more than you know. Always wishing you the best with your crafting as well~
Every single second was crafted with so much love that you just have to apriciate that
All I've got is an excess of love and enthusiasm, so we gotta cram it in as much as possible haha! Seriously, appreciate you saying that so much, thank you~
You're sooooooooooooooooo worth a small Patreon commitement. :-) Love your stuff. Keep your unique style.
Oh my goodness you are too kind, thank you so much! Appreciate it all so much! Don't know how to do things any other way than in my own style, so definitely don't think that's changing any time soon haha~
Enjoyed this very much. The animated series is visually captivating. Going back from the start, when Aang is emerging from the ice with the glowing blues, would be something to see in a recreation. I knew at the time when I watched Avatar: tLAB it was going to be a great show. I've been a fan of anime, and animation in general, for a long time. I'm just an old kid at heart.
Oooo that would be a fun project, definitely some cool lighting options for that! Totally! I grew up watching the show, but it's one of the only series I still go back and watch to this day enjoying just as much as when it first came out. Such an incredibly done show!
God, I love that there’s even a little appa. Great job, love yout vids.
Of course, there has to be, we can't leave Appa out! Always glad you can enjoy, thank you so much~
AHHHH THIS IS MY FAVORITE TEMPLE THEY VISITEDDD I remember wanting to live there so bad when I was little lmao also I love a good jet and the freedom fighters 👍
It's honestly both horrifying and the most exciting thought ever to live there haha! My favorite as well, such a cool design! Totally, might have to make part of their hideout one day, that would be super fun~
This is by far the most underrated channel on TH-cam… come on Internet - let’s get this awesome artist out there!! Your channel is so wholesome and your presenting style is just cool 😎
Thanks for the great art and brilliant videos!
I was so happy when I saw you had posted a new build. Your attention to detail is amazing. The end result is fabulous, brilliant. 💕
Ahhh well I too was happy to see your comment haha! Thank you so much, apologize for the long wait! Really glad you liked the result~
My favorite character is Zuko. Not because I am not a huge fan of Iroh, but because I can relate to Zuko's Arch a lot. And I would probably be a waterbender. Cause Ice and Steam and Snow and Blood and water is just my spiritual element, also I drink a lot of it :3
Zuko totally has one of the best character arcs in a story I've ever seen, so well done! Water is a super cool element, has so many interesting branches of it for sure. Love the healing aspect to it, a great choice!
@@MechanicalFiend Thank you ^-^
Keep doing your inspirational videos!
Bravo! I love the theatrical end! Great video!!!
So glad you could enjoy, I always love filming the final shots so much! Thank you for all the kind words~
Amazing!! I LOVE the Mini Appa 🥺❤️
Hahaha any project with a tiny Appa is immediately better! Thank you so much, really happy you liked it~
I love the details!, to me the details are never pointless! I love the sky bison mural!
You remind me of Nerdforge, really enjoying your content. As for fav character, Sokka quirky weird & grows to be a bad ass towards the end (that goes for everyone in the show).
Ahh well that is quite a large compliment, love their work so much! Oh absolutely, Sokka going from being kinda undervalued to a massive hero at the end was so rewarding to see! A wonderful choice~
After this video I binged all the others, aaaaaaaand you're now my comfort craft youtuber 💜
Love your works, your editing and commentary!
your vibe is just so cool GHGHHGHG-
Oh my goodness ahhh you are so sweet, really happy you could enjoy everything! Thank you so much for all the super kind words and appreciate you giving the videos a watch~
The intro was amazing 😂😂
Hahaha so glad to hear it! I loved making everything for it, super happy you enjoyed~
@@MechanicalFiend ❤
Absolutely stunning !
When you did the shots of finish project I thought that's the edited version of scenes from the ATLA and I was in shock how real and beautiful your temples look like. It's unreal how real they are.
Ahhhh oh my goodness that is the biggest compliment, thank you so much! Don't think I could ever quite live up to the actual show, but really appreciate you saying that- those shots are always my favorite to shoot~
Nice Skyrim Map ! Last time I was in Skyrim I could not find a Spear. Last time I was in Cyrodiil I could not find a spear. Pray for Spears please lol. You make some good stuff on this channel.
The Skyrim map is such a perfect prop for making things look old haha! Hoping for all the spears for you and so glad you could enjoy, thank you so much~
Hello.
Your introduction was fantastic. Your amazing work. And listening to uncle Iron's music was emotional, one of his most touching scenes.
Ahhh you are so very kind, thank you! I always have so much fun creating the intros! Absolutely, such a heartbreakingly beautiful scene~
@@MechanicalFiend I loved your work your sweetness. No doubt I will follow your work and dare to do some! Following your tips, congratulations!
This is amazing! I was just doing some Avatar The Last Airbender related art when I saw your video- it was like fate!!
Well, if it's Avatar I never doubt that destiny is at play hahaha! So cool, hope your art went well, would love to see it if you want to share~
