One fun little 'add on' you could shoot for is having the Pit be dynamic. I grew up loving model railroads, and my grandfather and I visited this amazing placed named Northlandz in NJ. I remember speaking with the original owner while I was there and he mentioned how his goal was to always have something new every time you visit. If you google the set, obviously it is a crazy amount of real estate. He said he didn't care how small the change, a new colored car, a new sign on a building, or a brand new town, he always wanted to give you a reason to come back no matter how small. I thought it was a really amazing mindset to this amazing setup he had. Always finding a new little Easter Egg :)
100%!! I’m with you all the way! Adding movement and a level of interaction to this build is absolutely happening. I too shared a love of model railroads, and I love the story of the owner wanting to deliver a constant experience each time someone visited! Wonderful!
Very excited to see this project unfold. There are SO MANY of us doing this level of worldbuilding and diorama construction. From Jason Jensen Trains, RadToysGalaxy, WentzillahReeboot’s Amrack Spot, the Outer Multiverse, and Gimmick Starport. You’ve taken your first steps into a much bigger world my friend! ;) 🙌
OMG! You could even make use of a tiny sheet of glass inside a "cargo container" to do a miniature "Saint Pepper's Ghost" illusion! ! ! You could take a Sir Alec Guinness figure of Obi Wan Kenobi, paint it azure, hide it in the corner of a "container", shine a light on it, and position the tiny glass sheet wherever you want his "force ghost" to appear! Turning the light on or off can make the force ghost appear or vanish. You might be able to use that as a tiny bit of "storytelling" in the diorama.
Really looking forward to this project and yes... AI is an amazing tool. As a fashion photographer I use it to create moodboards for my team so we're all on the same page. AI really helps to flush out concepts and in my case, often ads detail I would not have thought of.
Love the AI concept art you made. Very much the styles I like. Love the pit concept,..the step deeper past ikea cabinets. And I’m excited to see the craft….the tools, materials and the how you construct this universe
What a badass idea! I was saddened when you mentioned Star Wars 1313...what a travesty. Looking forward to watching the progress! I love your guys' stuff.
Ever since I started watching your channel I have always wondered 1) why you hadn’t really touched too many 3.75 figure things and 2) how cool it would be if you had your own take on a city like ETW, and it seems I’m finally getting that answer. Really looking forward to it!
The pit sounds incredible, can't wait to see your vision come to life and I know Carissa and you will surpass any thang all your fans can conceive. 😮oh no now I have to Waite 😢
I think some talented people like... Let's say Oilers Workshop would add a great touch to this project and would probably help give a body to this crazy concept of yours!
I am excited to see what you do always creative ideas that can be applied to other areas. The slogan build something out of nothing and your channel enthusiasm gets me to want to create thank you
First of all, The Pit project sounds amazing, I'll be following it as all your other projects, so inspirational Second, thanks for show me Empire Toy Works work, awesome stuff
I will be following this, I love the idea. I've wanted to do **something** for myself with some of my better minis, and for a friend who collects GI Joe figs. I really liked the mock ups you did out of cardboard. If I was a good enough artist I might just do that alone, all in black and white, so it didn't take away from everything being displayed.
Love this idea! I did something similar (though admittedly far less elaborate) for Microman/Micronauts toys a billion years ago, building out an environment from two 6-ft tall bookshelves. Can't wait to see how you bring this to life.
Those midjourney concept images are jaw dropping!! Could be right out of a Lucasfilm Art Book. I can hardly believe it. Undeniably wondrous, AI or not. Whadda ya going do. 🤷♂️
When A.I. is used properly it's a useful tool for artists and scientists and hobbyists. So, don't expect me to freak out. I'm good with proper tool usage. Keep up the good content and don't worry about sensitive individuals, we got you're back. This is the way.
As an artist myself, I do want to point out that there is a place for AI as a tool. I support AI in that way. The route you took to get conceptual art was awesome. Yes some of us artists may get huffy that we didn’t get picked for a commission, but you weren’t looking for a painting to grace your walls, you needed inspiration. Well done! I can’t wait to what comes next!
Loving this idea! Really looking forward to seeing your steps in this build process. I would love to do something similar to display my plastic models in the future. Great inspiration!
Here is an example of one of the prompts we used: "Wide angle establishing shot of A dark scifi street on Batuu, dark cliff rocks mixed with the structures, Greeblies and elements in the style of Star Wars on the walls with many details, multiple sci-fi doors, vendors, scattered scifi elements, the lighting is warm and low,"
Absolutely amazing concept and so refreshing I have been looking for a way to incorporate all of my vintage Star Wars figures and this is truly a great inspiration as usual your show is revolutionary and fresh and extremely exciting for those of us who loved to build. Thank you so much for this initiative.
OMG Brian! I am SO excited to see this develop and get built. This is such a great idea/direction to take your creativity and channel. All of us toy collectors are gonna now have some brilliant ideas of how to display our stuff watching the “Pit” get built. This is so weird because it’s the same development I’ve been going thru now too. I’ve collected SW toys all my like, started a room build with your inspiration and now I’ve also decided to create some “bookshelf” displays to showcase my newly acquired skills. Not as grand as yours, but hey, you’re the best dude. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Can’t wait!
LOL that diorama from Empire - even Tweeky from Buck Rogers - man he REALLY mased it all together star wars, star trek, the alien ship from independence day...... amazing
I may have to steal a version of this design from you when I build out my collection room... It's such a cool idea! I can't wait to see everythingyou have planned this year.
I just came across this and I have to say that I LOOOOOVE this idea so much! I can't wait to see it develop. (of course, now I'm also planning my own :D )
This is so cool! I have been trying to do this but figuring out how to build this has been a challenge. I look forward to seeing and learning from this project!
Good work with using AI for turning your ideas into a concept art-esqu format that would give even your viewer’s some insight into what your plan is. The Pit sounds fantastic if you’re taking it as levels of Coruscant. I’m already feeling a Blade Runner + Star Wars vibe. All the best guys!👏🏽
Wow man, this looks insane! I am super stoked to see the development as I too have been wanting to start a diorama for a long time. Looking forward to all you have to show us this year. THANK YOU both.
This channel is so much fun it’s crazy. I only discovered it a few days ago and I have watched so many of your videos in that time (I’ve seen a lot of people comment that). But wow, I am completely inspired and have to get involved making something out of nothing for myself. I have zero experience but it’s something I’ve dreamt of for some time now. Thank you for the awesome inspiration woven in your videos and various teaching points. I’m having a blast!
You already know my opinions on this content. So, all I’m gonna add here is BUILD BABY, BUILD! This is going to guarantee new content for at least the next several years. You and I both know that it’ll take years to build all of the sub-dioramas that’ll fill this massive pile of cargo crates. And, I’m certain that there will be sub-dioramas that get swapped out for newer sub-dioramas. Oooh…just had a thought. What about a sub-diorama of the Smugglers Room workshop. A miniature Brian and Carissa can be working on a subminiature sub-sud-diorama for the miniaturized PIT. Ouch! ouch! Ouch!I think I just sprained a synapse or two.
"Inception"-level thinking there, buddy, good job! With a lazer-resin 3-D printer, it might have fine enough detail to have 2 levels of Brian + Carissa making a tiny diorama with a Brian & Carissa making an even tinier diorama, and then perhaps a teeny-tiny 2D picture with "blueprints" of Brian & Carissa sketching out the diorama from the start of the project
Years and years Deanna, you got that right. And we are already planning our shop build for the pit right away, and certainly a pair Brian and Carissa action figures!
@@TheSmugglersRoom please tell me The Smugglers Room action figure set will be available for purchase? I want a miniature Brian and Carissa to help me get through some projects.
I really love the idea of this. I want my ManCave/Spacement to seem like the real deal. I cant have toys laying around. I am thinking about hiding a room behind a door like Kelly did, waiting to see how you "hide" this. Hurry up! LOL JK. Im sure its going to be awesome and I can't wait. I enjoyed the part about you guys working together. Cheers guys!
I just happened across your channel and you just got yourself a new subscriber! This project looks super cool! Can't wait to see what you come up with. The sheer scope of imagination has me jealous! 👍
When I saw the video title I thought you were literally doing a diorama of the Sarlac Pit. Maybe you could integrate that somewhere? On the outer reaches perhaps. A Sarlac Pit in the pit? That would look cool.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...............sorry i think I just blew my restraining bolt, this is an awesome project I can't wait to watch it come to life.
@@TheSmugglersRoom hell yeah I'm excited, it's a stunning way to display your collection, you can hide as many Easter eggs in there, how on earth do you decide when to stop with the details, my hats off you and Carissa on a truly out of this world build.
I think it’s great and I like how it goes beyond the standard display shelf. I’m inspired to give it a try with one segment of my Black Series figures and vehicles
This build is going to be awesome! I'm looking forward for every single video of you. I'm still sore about Disney dropping Star Wars 1313, so it's great to see a Memorial / Diorama for this game as a base for a Display.
Looking forward to this project!! As for AI: As other comments have pointed out, AI is a tool which can be used to improve ones projects just as much as a 3D-printer or a dremel. I think the only issue comes from people creating and selling AI-Artwork without explicitly labelling it as such.
Woohoo!!! This is gonna be cool!! Can people send you stuff at scale, just to donate to help out??? If so, let me know what you would like to fit into your cool PIT!!! I just wanna help with your PIT because it would be fun to say I donated something to it, as a community member. It would be an honor for me! As a matter of fact. I just picked up an A-Wing, that would be fun to make it look like it's being worked on by a mechanic and a couple of droids and an alien. Would you be interested?? I am sure it's at Kenner figure scale. I picked it up for $6.00 with a couple of figures. What do you think??
I appreciate you addressing the AI elephant in the room. However, I hope you will consider not referring to generative AI as a tool, but instead classify it as a service. If you were to send your prompts to a human, and had them make these images, you wouldn't call that person a tool would you? Yet the effort on your part would be the same. By calling these services a tool you are perpetuating the idea that the people who engage with these programs are "making" something. I think we all know that ideas are cheap. It is the execution of them that brings fulfilment and growth in the people who willing to endure the process.
So, if a writer makes something based on a writing prompt, they aren't actually making anything by your logic? I genuinely don't get why you people have such a hatred for AI, like what's different between taking inspiration from an AI generator or taking inspiration from a piece of fiction? I genuinely hate people like you.
I do see your point of view, certainly. However if it were a service that would at least imply that I was reaching out to an individual. In this scenario I’m not contacting a service, but using the mechanics of the software to create the image. Much like one would use Photoshop or another piece of software. I would consider that software a tool as well. So by that thinking I believe a tool is a bit better representation of MidJourney in this case. But I do appreciate the feedback and respect your opinion as well.
@@TheSmugglersRoom It's your channel and you can obviously call it whatever you like, but as a professional concept artist who uses photoshop to make a living, I can tell you there is a HUGE difference between making an image in photoshop one brush stroke at a time, and asking an AI to make an image for you. As someone who encourages people to "Make" something out of nothing, I just hoped you would be more interested in bringing attention to the difference between making something, and just asking for it. Best of luck with your project.

Such a great inspiration for what to do with old toys! I also love how open you are to modifying these old toys too.
So glad to hear that, thank you! I’m glad I’m not the only one that enjoys seeing that kind of project.
I’m so excited to see this being built what a great idea and a great way to fit it in the room as well 👍🏻
Glad you like it!

Fantastic! Thank you!
“The most enjoyable part was working together” I love it ❤

You are indeed finally getting to see something we have been wanting to do for years!! The first big episode is coming this week!!!
Ok! I made a big bowl of popcorn and settled into my comfy chair...and GO!!! So looking forward to this!
LOL!! Outstanding!
I love this. I am happy to help you model stuff for it if you need to 3D print stuff.
Thank you much!
Wow Brian, this is gonna be absolutely nuts when you're done!! Looking forward to following the process, brother 😎
Thank you!!
Cant wait to see the process!! Also Jason Jensen trains has a similar background for his scifi train build....this is going to be awesome!!!!
Yes he totally does! I completely forgot to mention him. His build is outstanding!

AI used specifically for concept art is the only thing i justify it for. Its great for just getting quick ideas and inspirations for your own art.

Totally agree!
where did the concept art that looks like batuu come from?
We created it using MidJourney AI
Ok this was neat but I was kind of close with the pen idea 😅
The pen idea?
Looks like it could be very cool.
Never apologize for using a tool. Tools are meant to be used.
Thank you much!

You are awesome! Thanks so much! We may have to think about a way for others to contribute if they want. Thanks for teh idea!
Would love to know how many people crying about AI art have saved images from the internet without paying a cent to the original creators.
That's a great point.
Same thing a guy in his mid to late 50s does. lol
LOL! Outstanding!
That is a very exciting project. Consider me a follower!
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
Mid to late 40’s? You have to estimate how old you are?
Estimates are my jam!

I appreciate you addressing the AI elephant in the room. However, I hope you will consider not referring to generative AI as a tool, but instead classify it as a service. If you were to send your prompts to a human, and had them make these images, you wouldn't call that person a tool would you? Yet the effort on your part would be the same. By calling these services a tool you are perpetuating the idea that the people who engage with these programs are "making" something. I think we all know that ideas are cheap. It is the execution of them that brings fulfilment and growth in the people who willing to endure the process.
So, if a writer makes something based on a writing prompt, they aren't actually making anything by your logic? I genuinely don't get why you people have such a hatred for AI, like what's different between taking inspiration from an AI generator or taking inspiration from a piece of fiction? I genuinely hate people like you.
I almost am offended by your claim that Ideas are cheap as a self identified "Idea Man" LOL
I do see your point of view, certainly. However if it were a service that would at least imply that I was reaching out to an individual. In this scenario I’m not contacting a service, but using the mechanics of the software to create the image. Much like one would use Photoshop or another piece of software. I would consider that software a tool as well. So by that thinking I believe a tool is a bit better representation of MidJourney in this case. But I do appreciate the feedback and respect your opinion as well.
@@TheSmugglersRoom It's your channel and you can obviously call it whatever you like, but as a professional concept artist who uses photoshop to make a living, I can tell you there is a HUGE difference between making an image in photoshop one brush stroke at a time, and asking an AI to make an image for you. As someone who encourages people to "Make" something out of nothing, I just hoped you would be more interested in bringing attention to the difference between making something, and just asking for it. Best of luck with your project.
