'I want it to look hand made and imperfect' says the chap turning out a hand made and perfect little gem.
Thank you
Awesome wizard and wizards room🧙♂️
Thank you, great little wizard icon
The sound of glee when I logged on after a long day to see you had uploaded a new project!! The focus and imagination is brill to watch. Your videos feel like old YT, so exploratory and interesting. This one is a new fav :)✨️📚
Thank you, I hope it takes off this time, views have been a bit low of late
@dodgydioramas the algorithm is so fickle - but your projects are always quality and we appreciate the time and effort regardless 🙏:)
I don't think TH-cam doesn't like my low posting schedule.
The LED adds so much!!! I made a way less large bookshelf for a project a bit ago, it is amazing how much books compact down when shelving! Haha! I found that plenty of scrolls and clutter on the shelves was a big help! Beautiful job!!!
Thank you, I could have got away with a simpler construction for the books on the shelves, but I wanted to test how long it would take doing it this way, at some point I want to construct a big library.
Yes! Discworld mention! 😁💜 I absolutely love what you've done, the attention to detail is fantastic 🙌🏼
Thank you, I'm a big fan of Discworld
I love this! ♥ So much detail and... it's a wizard. ♥
Suggestion for books in the future... cut your covers (can be done in a strip if you want) and glue them over foam board (white is best), then use a knife to cut them out. No paper pages, and they look good at that scale.
That was the plan, simple version for the shelving and a few more detailed for the piles on the tables but I got carried away! It was good practice though.
That's such a fun diorama to watch come to life 😄
Thank you
Very well done Sir, that diorama is first class. Maybe a flicker LED next time you make a fire.
Yes, that would be great I must get some.
Really cool diorama.
I use those glue tips. They will slowly clog over time and you can cut the piece off. Amazon has nice cheap boxes of them to replace when needed 😊😊😊
Thanks for the tip!
@ you are welcome 🤗
Fantastic build, a cozy wizard's study.
I think I was building my dream room
Beautiful build.
Thank you!
Don't worry about 3D-printing. It's totally acceptable to save time. You still had to create and print them objects virtually.
And yes, fire, lights, glowing objects they do require leds, especially when there's a dark surrounding.
It worked out great. 😊
I do like how productive we can be with all the new tools available to us and yes I should have guessed the fire was never going to work with just paint.
Those long precision tips for CA glue bottles will only clog at the very end. You only need to cut it off a few mm from the tip and it should work fine. They are extra long so you can cut them many times, but replacement tips are also available at any model train shop or of course online. Great build, BTW.
Thanks for the info! I so wish I had a train shop close by. The nearest would be a 3 hour round trip, there used to be loads close by. Amazon it is!
@@dodgydioramas It is sad, we just lost our friendly local hobby shop, which served the entire Western Montana region for over 50 years. Hobby Lobby, which opened here 8 months ago, has a laughably scant selection of actual hobby supplies, even if I was willing to give them any money. I am now forced to order online too. :(
There's a warehouse chain here called Hobby Store, which sounds the same, totally useless and overpriced
Hobby Craft!!!
Haha, does yours have eight large aisles of tacky lawn ornaments, and one quarter of one side of a short aisle for actual hubby supplies? If so then it is exactly like Hobby Lobby.
Maybe rinse acetone through that superglue tube, I'm not sure however if that tube is resistant to super glue though.
The diorama looks great by the way.
Cheers!
Thanks, I'll give that a try
Hello Dodgy! Long time viewer here! I love the grungy fantasy vibe your channel has :), If I could suggest some video builds I would suggest making a dungeons and dragons inspired diorama as its pretty trendy right now, and it matches the style of your previous builds. Sure it wouldnt be a sponsor, but imagine the view count 🐉⚔lol. Another Idea I had was Skyrim, I think it would be so cool to see how you'd make an argonian wizard in the setting of a cave called "Brittleshin Pass". It features stone pillars, mossy texture, wood steps, mushrooms, chests, metal cages all sorts of goodies. I youtubed searched the cave, and the very first video the guide one shows a great level of a detailed walkthrough in the cave for reference material. Of course its just a suggestion! can never have too many wizards 🧙♂(EDIT->) I also wanted to mention that youtube doesnt mind about fast uploads, it seems to matter a lot about what the content is, and suggesting putting a title of something popular in your video may help search results pop up more!) I've seen popular youtubers who only upload once a year and still get millions of views!) Have a wonderful rest of your day/night
Thank you for all the suggestions. A scene with a dragon is definitely on the cards, and Skyrim is a good idea. I played it a long time ago.
Great build - perhaps a few big books lying flat would have filled the shelf! And I know he’s a wizard but a stove like that needs a cat curled up nearby.
There are some rats, so yes, he could do with a cat
I love it! ❤
A beautiful room for a magician. I am quite fascinated to watch them at work. How much time did you need for the production?
Thank you. It is somewhere around 20 hours pure work plus a lot of breaks waiting for things to dry
How you going! Happy New Year mate. I hope you had a good Christmas it's great to see you back. I hope you got some croquet in during the holidays. Love the new diorama and was very happy to know you were also a fan of the discworld books! The super glue tube mystery is something I'm also confused about.
Happy New Year, Croquet finished in November and won't start until March/April, the grounds to squidgy in winter. Discworld is my all-time favourite.
@dodgydioramas my mistake, I'm not familiar with the seasons and weather in the UK. God I miss those book series and other great authors in that genre! It's a shame I haven't read a complete novel or even a paperback in 4 years probably, and I used to just devour books when I was younger.
The best thing about color laser printers is that the toner never dries out in the print head. Each toner purchase is more expensive than an ink purchase, but you actually get to use it rather than throwing it out.
That said, with the right printer paper and regular use, the best inkjet prints are notably nicer than the best laser prints. If you're printing photos on gloss paper with the intent of framing them and hanging them on the wall, inkjet is better. For everything else, I much prefer color laser.
And now I just send my color photo prints out to a dedicated printing provider. This costs less than buying a new set of ink tanks each time I go on a vacation and the results are quite nice. And I'm much less frustrated.
FWIW.
Thank you, that confirms what I was thinking which makes my decision to go laser far more comfortable.
