Genuinely baffled by the amount of projects you have on the go. This year I've painted 3 Warriors, a shipping container and some chemical barrels. 😅 Love it.
I love how you didn't take away much from the orginal, and just made it better and better and can still play it. It looks so good! Most fake trees look terrible but those ones with the variation in texture look so much more natural even on such a small scale! The sponsor is lucky to have you!
Emil!!!!!!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!1!@# Man, what an effort and absolute CRAZY amount of work that went into this. The final result is absolutely stunning and incredibly amazing. Not enough adjectives to describe this work of art... What a masterpiece to have at Squidmar HQ to really show off all the talent you guys have over there. The pinnacle of your time here on YT my man. Big grats to you all on this one.❤❤❤🏆
Team Squidmar: starts a huge diorama for the Manta Also Team Squidmar: makes a bunch of other awesome large scale dioramas *at the same time... do you guys have a portal to another dimension where the day has 98 hours?!
How is this not literally the coolest project ever!? Minis nerds, pinball nerds, LotR nerds, artist nerds all eating good watching this! Love your channel, all of your amazing projects and the skills of all you are just insane!
I remember when I first found this channel and it was the video where you didn’t think you could continue doing this even as a hobby and now it’s lively hood, it’s so awesome to see you grow.
Never thought miniatures and pinball machines could be combined, what a unique and creative way to extend our hobby. I build an arcade machine from scratch and looked into pinball machines for a next project and they are waaaay more challenging in terms of mechanics and electrics. Really impressive. Great Video!
Amazing work as always, this was definitely begging for some LED integration into the Rivendell Diorama. I can even see possibilities here to trigger a mini fogger based on hitting certain things to really make it come alive.
right at the end where the real time crush happened I realized. All of this paining and modeling must have been edited into a video while stuff was drying and setting. It explains why there were so many sponsor segments in this video, that if they weren't happy there would be no time to fix it.
Happy 3rd anniversary Squidmar! Your videos are beyond helpful and the work you do to give back to your fans is an inspiration. Keep up the work and here's to another 300 years! (Yes, not a typo, I want 297 more years at least)
Also, the joy you show throughout this video is amazing. It's easy to get focused on the end of a project and not enjoy the process. Glad to see this wasn't the case on this project, the child-like joy and wonder is palpable.
What a great idea and very well executed. If there was anything that could be improved, it would be to add Elron and his daughter to Rivendell to bring the elven village to life.
I absolutely adore this machine. I remember when me and my brother went to the Pinball Museum in Seattle, we spent 6 hours on and off beating eachothers high scores, it's truly one of my favourite memories. You're a really lucky guy 😄
What an amazing build! You guys do some great work, but this one really showcased your skills, especially Lucas with his backdrop. - That was worth a video in its own right.
That backbox diorama is beautiful, love all the little details. Afraid all those nicely painted miniatures are going to get absolutely destroyed when anyone plays this more than once.. lots of airballs and resulting busted plastics on LOTR machines!
Seven months I've been working on my MCRN Donnager model for and these guys don't do one project of this size but three or was it four at last count. Either I am just slow or these guys are next level quick.
Riktigt coolt! Hur kul projekt som helst, och blev fantastiskt bra. I ett flipper, och liknande miljöer skulle ni kunna utveckla med lite ljuseffekter i byggnader, under träsket och i vattenfallen. Ganska lätt med led-slingor mm. Man kan t.o.m. göra så vattnet ser ut att rinna… Men som sagt fantastiskt bra jobbat, och en underhållande video! Och jättebra att ni byggde ny back-box och inte förstörde den gamla. Samma sak med gamla flipper som allt annat, se till att i möjligaste mån byta ut men spara originaldelar för att kunna återställa. Inte för att jag någonsin skulle vilja byta ut det ni gjorde i detta spel om jag hade det! Grymt snyggt!
this is why you're the biggest mini channel,,,, after games workshop, i guess ^^ a lot of different things. next up an Aquarium safe diorama of bioshock?
Where do these guys get their music from?? Not only are you amazing miniature painters and diorama makers, I’m even digging out to your music will watching. Would be great to know some titles, or know where to look. Especially the song at around 18:45 mark! Great
Looks amazing. Only thing is Rivendell looks super dark. Since you created a custom box it would be cool to update it with some LEDs to light the front more. I understand the time constraint with this. Still looks amazing. Kudos
Man that's crazy. My ex from high school had this pinball machine in her parents basement. Her dad was a major LotR nerd, and also a huge pinball nerd and once he became a full doctor with expendable income this was his first personal purchase haha

Nice job!
So the question becomes. does this lower or raise the value? I mean, i know that's subjective. but still. lol
Rise to war is a trash game tho haha love your work tho
I love how Lucas can just casually smash out Bob Ross back drop like it's no big thing
Fr
....Just a happy little tree here.....a tiny little Elfses there. 😇
I know, right? Crazy!!
I'd like to see him make a Happy Little Mordor.
@@Treeslayer82 your comment just made my day!

Heeey that’s awesome haha. 😊❤️

Look to the horizon on the tenth day and ill have a pinball machine.
epic
I remember when I first found this channel and it was the video where you didn’t think you could continue doing this even as a hobby and now it’s lively hood, it’s so awesome to see you grow.
As a huge pinball fan, this was a really cool project :) Thank you for bringing some attention to an amazing hobby!
Oh man, that turned out so good Emil! Well done to you and the team.
Great vid - I've got plans to do an Amon Hen diorama in the next few weeks so will take some inspo from this!
Lucas is legit a world class painter. The way he paints backdrops asbif it's easy is truly amazing to watch.
Never thought miniatures and pinball machines could be combined, what a unique and creative way to extend our hobby.

yeah that would be awesome, hopefully we can find some time in the future for it :)
This was amazing. Would love to have had more B-Roll of the final. Nice video. Keep up the great work.
THIS IS THE BEST DIORAMA IDEA YET!!!! Ive always wanted to do something with pinball machines and you just sparked an idea!! Thanks!!!!
right at the end where the real time crush happened I realized. All of this paining and modeling must have been edited into a video while stuff was drying and setting. It explains why there were so many sponsor segments in this video, that if they weren't happy there would be no time to fix it.
Seriously epic work! I know the golden rule is never go back to a project, but Id love to see a Balrog replace that one in the middle.
You guys are hands-down some of my favorite artists PERIOD! Can’t thank you guys enough for the content and inspiration!
I love that pinball machine. A local pub had it, and earned about as much from it as with beer from our crew.
Awesome work.
Maaaan that gollum.. Good job to everyone involved in this projects, the whole is bigger than the sum part. That's when a quote fits perfectly
Perfect intersection of two passions of mine - miniatures and pinball. Fan va bra!
Really good use of the focal space of the machine while still maintaining all the usability of the machine.
Easily my favourite ever video on this channel. Would love more LOTR content in the future.
What a great result, too much to mention. The detail on the palantir is amazing. Love Lucas Ross' backdrop.
Middle-earth SBG is just the best Tabletop Game ever and I love to see some Minis on that channel!
I don't understand how you lads can be so talented. this looks so cool, keep up the awesome work
Impressive! One of your best videos if not the best. Very professional.
Can really see how happy you were to do this project Emil 👍
Excellent video. Well done to everyone. I'm jealous that you have that machine in your studio now. Congratulations!
Also, if you have cause for LotR tie in sponsor again, I'd like to see you paint more of the GW Fellowship models to add in.
Ridiculous amounts of fun, ridiculously well done!
One of my favorite games, and the only game that really got me interested in Pinball. It's a dream of mine to own one someday!
My goodness. The amount of talent you all possess is just astounding and mind blowing. 🤯
wow, so much LOVE in all these Projects - pls never stop! Greeting from Germany
Incredible how everything fell into place for this project. One of your best videos :)
You transformed an entertainment machine, into a marvelous piece of art. Great job.
Wow! Now thats a project all of you can feel super proud of! Great work all of you!
Who knew Robert Englund could paint so good??? Awesome work everyone!
Amazing video. Lord of the Rings, Rise of war scored with this one.
Happy 3rd anniversary Squidmar! Your videos are beyond helpful and the work you do to give back to your fans is an inspiration. Keep up the work and here's to another 300 years! (Yes, not a typo, I want 297 more years at least)

Loved seeing your pinball video! The people in the pinball hobby would pay good money for your hand painted minitures!
Totally frickin awesome idea. Well done guys, you all smashed it...AGAIN! 💯🤘😎👍💯
What a great idea and very well executed. If there was anything that could be improved, it would be to add Elron and his daughter to Rivendell to bring the elven village to life.
Epic build...congratulations on creating a TRULY one of kind machine!!! Incredible - keep up the great content.
I absolutely adore this machine. I remember when me and my brother went to the Pinball Museum in Seattle, we spent 6 hours on and off beating eachothers high scores, it's truly one of my favourite memories. You're a really lucky guy 😄
You have to add The Fellowship in the Rivendell diorama part!!! This is epic.
What an amazing build! You guys do some great work, but this one really showcased your skills, especially Lucas with his backdrop. - That was worth a video in its own right.
That backbox diorama is beautiful, love all the little details. Afraid all those nicely painted miniatures are going to get absolutely destroyed when anyone plays this more than once.. lots of airballs and resulting busted plastics on LOTR machines!
Looks amazing. I love Gamers Grass tufts. By far the best tufts I’ve used.
Seven months I've been working on my MCRN Donnager model for and these guys don't do one project of this size but three or was it four at last count. Either I am just slow or these guys are next level quick.
This was awesome, I love the whole idea. Got some great ideas for my own build thank you.
Sweet Video, great job Emil and the whole crew, I would be surprised if this doesn't become your biggest video yet!
That is truly a dream project, very nicely done!
@29:18 Happy little trees!!!! kidding aside, looks awesome!
Sickest pinball machine I’ve ever seen!
This is amazing. Awesome job Emil, Lucas and the rest of the team.
Riktigt coolt! Hur kul projekt som helst, och blev fantastiskt bra.

Great video! I really hope that this wasn't the last time LotR is the main theme of the video
Amazing project. XMen was also my favorite show as a kid!
Truly Epic! Also Lucas is ridiculously talented
You two are just absolutely amazing, is there anything you can’t do? I personally don’t think so. Thank you.
this is why you're the biggest mini channel,,,, after games workshop, i guess ^^ a lot of different things. next up an Aquarium safe diorama of bioshock?
This is awesome that you were able to do this and pull off the tight timeline!!! Great work!
😱 awesome project!!! I love this pinball!!! Really good job again guys, thanks for share with us!! 😘😘😘😘

Very impressive! Even coming up with that idea... but actually doing it - wow!
Breathtaking it gets shorts to describe this project. You guys, are simply amazing
That is a Fantastic! one of a kind machine...... I'm blown away by how good it is. Amazing stuff.

Incredible work and what an amazing team! Such a treat to watch you build this.
This is incredible work, guys. Truely impressive.
Wow! This is EPIC!!! It’s a beautiful, delicate artwork! Pretty awesome

End result is fantastic! 🤘🏼
It looks so ... precious.
Oh man this is the most epic pinball machine in the world!
That's insane! What a journey, worth the wait.
