Hello, this is very cool, how would you recommend getting into such a hobby? Is polymer clay and stuff expensive? do you need a proper kiln? stuff like that.
Speaking from Australia, I can say that I have indeed seen a minuscule creepy ganon-bug similar to this. Too bad I didn’t have my guardian spear with me at the time to poke it away…
I'm kinda insane about this channel. I've never made a miniature in my life and I never plan on it but whenever I see y'all going like "and now I'm gonna add a bit of UV resin just to give it that glowy effect" I'm like oh my god..... genius.... he's using the UV resin.....
Oh geez.. I've defeated Calamity Ganon three times, but I don't think I've ever realized exactly how much of an absolutely monstrous abomination he is. Well done like always!
Botw was my first game and when i first saw him i was so scared, i thought this was going to be the hardest boss in the zelda series based on his skull face, amalgamation design... Then he was the easiest boss out of the entire series, which is a good thing for me 😅
Everytime you make something out of breath of the wild it has a special place in my heart. I love your builds and enjoy your videos everytime but this game is really special to me and to see you share this appriciation is really amazing. Fantastic narration and editing as always!
The glamour shots are stunning! At the start, when you made that black been I really wondered how you were going to turn this into Ganon. It really was a "trust the process" moment!
@@NorthoftheBorder blood, sweat and tears huh, but damn it Looks so good every time ✨ and i hope you know when you need a break we will wait for you 😊💕
This model is absolutely amazing! I love the intricate details on Ganon, and tiny Link’s master sword, along with the other resin parts on Ganon give off a nice “glowy” illusion. Although the main sword on Ganon seems a bit too short, this still looks absolutely amazing. Love your content; keep up the beautiful work!
Brilliant as always. Oh, and thanks for the UV resin tip. I've had issues with it being tacky now and then, and thought I just had a crappy UV lamp (I mean I do, it is a really cheap UV light I have, but sometimes it works fine). Next time I have issues, I'll try the water trick. Cheers. ^_^
Pro tip from a polymer chemist: you are right. Acrylated polymers like you were using can’t fully cure in the presence of oxygen. Covering with a layer of water is a neat idea, but there’s another technique that works. After zapping it with your uv light, wipe the surface of your polymer with an ethanol or IPA dampened lint-free cotton cloth. The alcohol quenches the reaction and removes the top-most layer of molecules, leaving behind only those that were cured without exposure to oxygen. The benefit here is that alcohol is crazy volatile and evaporates way faster than water. Excellent work, as always. I love your videos!!
You know what would be really cool? A living diorama where the central part is a banzai tree. You could make the banzai be the Deku tree in botw with the korok forest village around it with Link, the master sword pedestal, and Hestu
I love your Zelda projects. The Zelda remixes/LoFi playing the background make it all the better. You've played some of my favorite songs during your videos!
Appreciate a bunch the laid back commentary, crafting and relaxing fun of your videos. Wouldn't swap one of yours for ten of those "I bought a miniature to paint" ones.
I love how in all his zelda creations that have a tiny link, its just a huge abomination that could probably kill you by just breathing near you, and then a tiny man the size of one of the monster's hair strands, link.
First time viewer here... Holy crap, this is amazing! I used to get excited about working with Sculpy in art class in high school, but we never made anything even remotely as intricate as this. Lots of cool techniques I've never even thought of (like the armatures).
I'm an architecture student been following you for some time now and I'm in love with your work, my question would be since when you've been doing modeling? I'm starting to seriously consider it as my main hobby, you're really inspiring!!
been binge watching your stuff. The difference over two years is great. your vids are fantastic. the little comments and then the putting the trolls on blast that i have to pause to read. fing perfect.
As an Australian I can confirm this is a native species that is endangered there are about 20 thousand alive but the aren’t as dangerous as they are made out to be I’ve seen some people ride them
At this point, the passage of time is marked by Friday videos from North of the Border. It seems to come around with alarming swiftness (not unlike Calamity Ganon!) and I'm stunned that somehow there's a new Tiny Nerdy Thing™ every Friday. Congrats on getting sponsored too! You deserve all the recognition and I adore your content! Edit: that UV resin tip made me lose my goddamn mind. Thank you!
So freaking amazing ! I love seeing some zelda things in clay ! Also for the next sculpture, maybe you can make Koro-Sensei from Assassination Classroom
Man, this is so great! I'd love to see you tackle something from a Final Fantasy sometime- maybe Omega Weapon from FFX? One of the Ultimecia variations from FFVIII?
Holy CHEESE!!! I've never heard of the UV resin trick and I cannot WAIT to try it out! So many of my pieces end up tacky and it's SO annoying. THANK YOUUUU! Awesome build as always!
Glorious. Just amazing. I’ve been marathoning all your videos after just discovering you and I don’t even know what to say. You have the patience of a saint, brother. Sculpt on. ✊
Jesus, Calamity Ganon's design is absolutely insane. Amazing job, this is so cool. I guess the more insane the design, the more awesome it is to make in clay.
he looks crazy with just the major body parts done, thatd be terrifying to fight, i love how how easy you make all this look his weapons look cool as hell
This is amazing I would never be able to make something like this, you have a really unique hobby and your really good at it! Please make more your doing a great job!!
4:21 This artwork is amazing. I'm surprised that anyone would complain about it not being 100% accurate. Anyone who complains I like to see you do better.
Wow! This is awesome! It’s crazy how you’re able to replica the art style and make it feel like it’s ripped right out of the game! Keep up the great work I love watching these
Very bizarre creature! The Japanese are famous for strange monsters. Reminds me of "No Face" from "Spirited Away" anime when No Face had gobbled up so much stuff that it was sticking out everywhere.
Fun fact near Ganons cocoon in hyrule castle (on the sealing) you can see some broken guardians. So that's where the guardian-parts on his body come from
Well I appreciate your work. Gives me something to watch while running praetorium in FF14. Seriously though, your very talented. Thank you for sharing.

you should make the blights
Hello, this is very cool, how would you recommend getting into such a hobby? Is polymer clay and stuff expensive? do you need a proper kiln? stuff like that.
What software do you use to edit your videos?
Love the work, please make one metroid related
Do dragon ball z
I love how slowly but surely "until they don't just look good, they look good enough" is starting to become one of his catchphrases.
North of the Border,
Where it's not just good.
It's good enough.
@@NorthoftheBorder I'd invest
@@NorthoftheBorder You should make mercy saying “until they don’t just look good, they look good enough”
I think he should use this for merch lol I would buy it

Just a normal Friday in Australia (speaking from an Aussie)
@@cadelwilton7089 Indeed (from another Aussie)
I found a big one the other day, luckily I had my shovel at hand. (Speaking from an Aussie)
Found one on my boot the other day (speaking from another Aussie)
I saw one too but I had a master sword (Speaking from a Hylian)
"I decided to make a teeny tiny link" - every one of his zelda builds
The amount of details on that teeny tiny Link though °_°
@@GerardMenvussa it's flawless every time 🤩
I was about to comment that teeny tiny Links have become as much a theme of this channel as wormy dealies
We knew it was coming…
Yes, I need a compilation video of all the times he says it now... Please and thanks.
I'm kinda insane about this channel. I've never made a miniature in my life and I never plan on it but whenever I see y'all going like "and now I'm gonna add a bit of UV resin just to give it that glowy effect" I'm like oh my god..... genius.... he's using the UV resin.....
“Wait, what is UV resin again?”
A resin that curates under UV? IDK
Yes
Gonna need some cursed guardian donuts to accompany my morning coffee/tea of choice.
That made me truly lol
Danger donuts!
@@NorthoftheBorder Danger Donuts is Dunkin' Donuts evil twin franchise

In Australia, we prefer the brown worm dealies with our morning coffee.
Oh geez.. I've defeated Calamity Ganon three times, but I don't think I've ever realized exactly how much of an absolutely monstrous abomination he is.
Well done like always!
Yeah, he's so easy to defeat once you master flurry rushes and parrying. A lynel is harder than Ganon. But lynels are still easy.
I've defeated him 4 times. Twice to show off to my friends! xD
I don’t think I can count the times I’ve beaten Calamity Ganon
@@katedp7825 And agree, Lynels are harder but easy
Botw was my first game and when i first saw him i was so scared, i thought this was going to be the hardest boss in the zelda series based on his skull face, amalgamation design...
Then he was the easiest boss out of the entire series, which is a good thing for me 😅
Yes! Now I can ignore the fact that I’m putting off fighting Ganon by watching videos whilst doing every single side quest before the main story!
hes really easy, I recommend beating him as soon as you can
Ganons ez claps
That's nothing, I 100%-ed Botw and then (almost) 100%-ed Age of Calamity and now I'm *finally* going to (eventually) beat Ganon in Botw.
I made him out of clay, so I don't need to ever fight him
@@HawkeGaming GOT DAM SON
How he manages to sculpt and paint teeny tiny details will never cease to amaze. My eyes hurt every time a teeny tiny anything comes into frame.
Whelp he does like making tiny things

I can't wait to see your take on Dehydrated Ganondorf from the sequel trailer.
Amazing! I dont know how you manage to make one of these every week. Its always so cool to watch
With tear rimmed eyes and a sleep deprived mind. So the usual, really
@@NorthoftheBorder blood, sweat and tears huh, but damn it Looks so good every time ✨ and i hope you know when you need a break we will wait for you 😊💕

Subscribe to my channel. I make different monsters.

Not only are these builds the greatest in the world(they are😤), but the upload schedule as well is👌👌
The movement of ganon is so good that I was half expecting him to throw one of his spears
K this is now one of my favorite BOTW sculptures you’ve made😳💕
Brilliant as always. Oh, and thanks for the UV resin tip. I've had issues with it being tacky now and then, and thought I just had a crappy UV lamp (I mean I do, it is a really cheap UV light I have, but sometimes it works fine). Next time I have issues, I'll try the water trick. Cheers. ^_^
Here's hoping it works for more resin's than my own!
Ray "Is it black?"
Archer "Um no."
Ray "Slightly darker black?"

The back in black reference was *perfection* “chefs kiss”
This looks FIRE!! Imagine your DM slamming this out for a boss fight
I would cry.
I love your Zelda projects. The Zelda remixes/LoFi playing the background make it all the better. You've played some of my favorite songs during your videos!
躍動感がすごい！
細かいところまで作り込まれていて素晴らしいです
Your humor and commentary on these are perfect, just like the works of art you build.
Finally, a Clay model of GANON!!!😎
Appreciate a bunch the laid back commentary, crafting and relaxing fun of your videos. Wouldn't swap one of yours for ten of those "I bought a miniature to paint" ones.
This is fantastic man, i love seeing you make Zelda botw things in clay. Really fantastic. Favorite game of all time
I love how in all his zelda creations that have a tiny link, its just a huge abomination that could probably kill you by just breathing near you, and then a tiny man the size of one of the monster's hair strands, link.
I just discovered this channel and I'm in awe. These builds I've watched so far have been amazing!
Daisy Darling's is the best TH-cam question I've ever seen, and I love that the answers were SO ready
Right as I was about to rewatch an video of you, you upload something new! :D
Love it. The idea with the uv resin was really cool :3
It'll still be there for you to rewatch!
First time viewer here... Holy crap, this is amazing! I used to get excited about working with Sculpy in art class in high school, but we never made anything even remotely as intricate as this. Lots of cool techniques I've never even thought of (like the armatures).
Thank you so much for the tip on the UV resin and water. I have issues with some sticky UV resin and I’m anxious to try that now !
You balance being informative and entertaining really well. I also love your "good enough" approach, it's really motivating to listen to you speak.
All that's left now are the Blights. Maybe use their AoC designs to make them more distinct?
I will never understand how ANYONE can make something that beautiful!? I just love your art!!
I'm an architecture student been following you for some time now and I'm in love with your work, my question would be since when you've been doing modeling? I'm starting to seriously consider it as my main hobby, you're really inspiring!!

This is great, I always love the sculptures you make and seeing these videos help make my day
Calamity ganon is a perfect exaple of over-designing well. This is awesome.
Great work as always!
I'm super impressed and I can only wonder.
How can you keep being patient enough to build these detailed sculptures?
Watching the process of this artpiece is so enjoyable 💜 I love it
Adam is a genius, he doesn't cut the video to do the sponsor ad, he kept it going while doing the ad, so no one will skip it!
As an Australian I can confirm this is a native species that is endangered there are about 20 thousand alive but the aren’t as dangerous as they are made out to be I’ve seen some people ride them
It would be awesome if you could add classic Ganondorf in your to-do list.
The details are fantastic 👌
I really love these videos - I’ve been meaning to play BOTW for a while now and your Zelda builds have persuaded me to take the plunge!
How do you like it?
Do it do it do it do it….
Your 'good enough' never ceases to leave me speechless sir. Thank you for sharing!!

I just discovered this channel and I’m already dying from imagining all the possibilities to make me fanboy from tiny recognizable little stuff.
So freaking amazing ! I love seeing some zelda things in clay ! Also for the next sculpture, maybe you can make Koro-Sensei from Assassination Classroom
I always loved Ganons design but never saw it that well but after seeing your model I love it even more!
Man, this is so great!
I'd love to see you tackle something from a Final Fantasy sometime- maybe Omega Weapon from FFX? One of the Ultimecia variations from FFVIII?
I think this is your best clay build to date, I love it
Holy CHEESE!!! I've never heard of the UV resin trick and I cannot WAIT to try it out! So many of my pieces end up tacky and it's SO annoying. THANK YOUUUU! Awesome build as always!
Here's hoping it works for more than the random brand I buy!
That was a nice little tip about covering the UV resin with water to make it cure more completely, I hadn't heard of that before.
These are incredible! You are so talented, your Breath of the Wild models are truly *breath*taking!
funny
Glorious. Just amazing. I’ve been marathoning all your videos after just discovering you and I don’t even know what to say. You have the patience of a saint, brother.
Sculpt on. ✊
This is the first time I’ve not skipped a sponsor shoutout lol love the honesty and authenticity
I absolutely love how he incorporated the cooking music into the soundtrack.
Jesus, Calamity Ganon's design is absolutely insane. Amazing job, this is so cool. I guess the more insane the design, the more awesome it is to make in clay.
I heard “Legend of Zelda soft spot” and “huh I should make that” and subscribed immediately.
That was the first sponsor section I actually rewinded to watch because you built the sculpture while watching.
I love how you just keep getting more ambitious and the tiny nerdy things just KEEP GETTING BETTER💛
11:24 how does he do to make all the tiny accessories hold, does he use bake and bond or does it hold with a bit of pressure?
The tiny figures you make are so well constructed. Excellent
This is just amazing, I don't know why you don't have at least 500k subscribers
The resemblance is stunning, I subscribed almost instantly haha
he looks crazy with just the major body parts done, thatd be terrifying to fight, i love how how easy you make all this look his weapons look cool as hell
love how he says “and cursed dounuts” brilliant
Wow, thanks for the UV resin + water trick!
Wow the guardian details on this look incredible!
This is amazing I would never be able to make something like this, you have a really unique hobby and your really good at it! Please make more your doing a great job!!
Adam... your skills are so awesome. it also got some therapeutic aspect when watching your videos! its pure joy. thank you!

This artwork is amazing. I'm surprised that anyone would complain about it not being 100% accurate. Anyone who complains I like to see you do better.
"Sweet, sweet rage filled comments"
Man you gotta love those
This build is insane. Bravo through and through.
Wow, you really outdid yourself this time!! Especially with the teeny tiny Link it's apparent how much you've improved!
The shining doughnuts & malice skin REALLY turned out great!
I’ve come to the conclusion that you can make anything. Just amazing!
Wow! This is awesome! It’s crazy how you’re able to replica the art style and make it feel like it’s ripped right out of the game! Keep up the great work I love watching these
we all need to appreciate the tiny link more
he looks so cool and detailed yet so impossibly small
job well done
This is absolutely amazing. I was gonna make one myself, but you did it for me
Incredible creations once again, you never disappoint with the quality of your craftsmanship!
Very bizarre creature! The Japanese are famous for strange monsters. Reminds me of "No Face" from "Spirited Away" anime when No Face had gobbled up so much stuff that it was sticking out everywhere.
Looks so good! The red fur/hair all down the back especially looks fantastic! :)
OMG OMG
YES
Edit: it’s so freaking awesome, I’m in love. I think it’s your best work yet.
Fun fact near Ganons cocoon in hyrule castle (on the sealing) you can see some broken guardians.
So that's where the guardian-parts
on his body come from
one of the most amazing things I've seen on TH-cam. ❤️
that kokiri forest elevator chill music in there was the chef's kiss of this video
Vallejo Skeleton White Primer in some coffee would be delicious--maybe a little like Amaretto creamer.
Amazing job as always!
This man did the impossible.
Like i mean ganon is SO detailed!
love the new Q&A segment... and the model of course!
The people say that you suck they just wish to do any sort of art your a awesome person no doubt your cool
The ad was genius. I wasn’t going to skip the ad while the video was still going.
Your BOTW/Zelda videos are my favourite. I love all your videos but I just have so much love for your botw videos
looks so good! all the little finicky details are so impressive
Debatably one of the cutest looking links he's made by far- At least, in my opinion.
Well I appreciate your work. Gives me something to watch while running praetorium in FF14. Seriously though, your very talented. Thank you for sharing.
i don't really remember how Gamon looks like, i played the game about 1 year ago but that sculpture turned out amazing, keep up the good work !
