Respect... I'm 51 years old. And when I was a child, we sculpted entire countries out of plasticine, characters lived there who made up an integral mythology that we came up with, there was a currency, churches with plasticine icons, daily newspapers were published..
This is very similar to the games from my childhood. I also sculpted fortresses, cities, villages from plasticine, there were people in them in which I played. Actually, from those times plasticine remained
an endoscope would allow you to literally “walk” through the halls of your castle. so fun to watch. attention to detail amazing. kitty cute. bad kitty.
What an amazing model. Usually people tend to intentionally/unintentionally insert fantasy elements in castle builds. There's nothing wrong with that but personally I love historically accurate builds, and this model is the real thing. It really gives off a gritty "unpolished" vibe that true castles have, very little decorative elements in favor of functionality and security. It also has a very dynamic feel to the layout, as if it was built to fit the terrain its on, making it even more realistic. Compliments!
Back in the day most castles were plastered and whitewashed on the outside, and quite a few parts like some of the internal hoardings don't make sense, and it lacks guarderobes (toilets) and some of the lintols/arches aren't historically accurate and the don jon is unlikely to have a basement like that, and the turret isn't useful and the outer ward sunders the inner one more than you'd like and there are WAY too few wooden structures and round towers are a post cannon age so you'd expect inner stairs, filled in lower sections, and for a tower that big culverin emplacements to fire back their own cannons, or at least some springalds. Stone castles are extremely expensive, so you expect manicured gardens and opulent decorations to advertise the wealth of the residents. They're usually built generationally with different architectures too. Fortressess were more the pragmatic buildings you're thinking of, but have a very different design ethos. It's a great build nonetheless, you have to know an awful lot about castles and architecture to start questioning it and seeing the anachronisms and questionable choices.
I agree that this build is more of a fantasy castle build, realistic-esque, but what a fantasy it is. The thing about fantasy is that it tends to mash all pre-industrial historic period into one date. The result is quite interesting in itself.
I like this art because it is without time. The castle town is frozen, and you can observe the special events going on at the exact moment they take place. A most excellent, and exotic craft.
😂😂i love the bit where the men are breaking blocks and fall over swearing,i didnt expect to see humour as well as the fantastic castle this build is amazing.
An extraordinary project, and accomplished beautifully. I enjoyed the little vignettes with the characters, too. The cats were very well-behaved, I thought. The castle must have been such a temptation!
There are no complaints about the spotted cat. She was no longer young and showed no interest in the castle. But the young cat constantly made her own adjustments. She and I clearly had different ideas about what a castle should look like
I used to build plasticine castles and cities with my brother as a kid. This brought tears to my eyes, the sheer creativity, care and craft that went into this castle is more than anyone should hope to even witness. So thank you for displaying this great piece of defensive architecture. May it never be scratched by cats.
The fact you make the little bricks first and use a mini trowel, is just sensory overload. So impressive, and this would be the last hobby I'd personally take up, but the respect I have for your dedication to a project couldn't be higher.
I'm imagining this was built for some epic part of a DnD campaign. Everything would've been planned and then the second this is pulled out, the player's would've found some loophole and just skipped the whole encounter.
You are really an artist with resolve and patience. How you did this masterpiece with your feline "helper" about is spectacular. Thank you for a most engaging 39 minutes. BRAVO!

this is plasticine not bakeable polymer clay, its a type of oil clay and will always be mailable the only way to finish a project with this material is with mold making and casting, but the fact that this is all plasticine makes this build truly insane.
@@gamermass3000 I know that. I just prefer bake clay to this type of things, because plasticine is like hamsters... It goes back to menu in most weird and unexpected circumstances.

Great Build! But Also Great Filming❤!!! Now you will have to go through withdrawal "I don't know what it is & why, but I constantly feel like I should be doing something!"
Really cool Time-lapse. In the thumbnail, I was wondering how you got the lines on the bricks so clean. I would’ve never guessed that you cut and laid individual little bricks. Awesome work.
I am dutch, sorry if the following does not make much sense, but i hope it does. Another way of getting them lines faster and easier without laying individual bricks is by making a small jig. A simple flat board of wood or plastic. And then you could use piano wire which you attach to the board horizontal evenly spaced, and vertical like you would lay bricks. You just cut small pieces of wire and lay them spaced like you would lay bricks. Half a brick ontop of the other half, i dunno how to explain it better. Anyways, you can attach the wires with some glue, fast curing glue or something like that. Make it large enough for whatever you wanna build. Then when you want a tower of the castle to look like it is all bricks, you simply roll a piece of clay/plasticine into the shape of a tower. A cilinder basically. And once it is rolled into shape, you roll it over your template board thing-a-ma-jig. And voila, the lines appear in the clay. You can then obviously hollow out the cilinder with a smaller size cilinder. A normal straight wall? Just create it with the clay, put it on the template and push it down. Voila. A wall as if its all bricks. Just an idea from a crazy dutch guy.
WOW 😎👍 - anything you could change/add is the colour. Paint it middle-age-style and it's at least 100% perfect! I don't know if it's the model of a real castle, but it looks like a real one.
I was very impressed. The one thing I couldn't get over was that there were no spots to put torches or chandeliers or candles. That's one dark stronghold.
Incredible !! As a Welshman I love castles, even though the English built them to control us back in the day :) The attention to detail is second to none.
@@AlekseyKarpushkin Kitty must really love you though, to come steal your attention so many times lol. Awesome work, you've got a lot of talent, and even more patience, for the cat and the castle!
I Love building Scale Models and When I was Young, I used to love making buildings for the small figurines I had, but I simply did not have the knowledge and understanding to do something like this, but then came along Mine Craft. Well, I started to make houses and floating Islands with castles on them and everything like that so that when my Children came over, they could joke around and look at my stuff and try to make their own buildings too. But the hardest part about Minecraft is that it doesn't allow for anything but cubes, you must have had a lot of plasticine from an old playschool or something like that because you can see all the colors mixed in there and it looks quite old and well past its prime. a perfect medium to be used to make things like this with because when it cools off from being worked by warm hands, it actually becomes quite firm. You have a nice place space that only your kitty poses a threat to the castle, that think wouldn't last a day with my kids near it! LOL But well done! it actually takes a lot of knowledge to be able to build a castle and have it reasonably correct, and you went through a lot of efforts to make sure it was relatively correct. Now you need to make it a lived in space, with furniture and rugs and tapestries along with living quarters for the men who would be the defenders of this keep. as well as a kitchen for the cooks and the various places that would show this to be a true period correct Castle! But this is an excellent build in my book! Something that would be a great part of a HUGE diorama that you could build and even have fields of wheat in stoops in the field and the horse drawn wagons and the whole countryside outside of the castle, and by the looks of it, you have a lot more plasticine you could use to build it with.! Kudos to you!!!!
Thanks for the very nice comment! Plasticine is really from my childhood, in which I sculpted cities and fortresses, populated them with little men and played in them. But there was no plasticine left at all. It was barely enough, only because in the end I started saving. I want to populate the castle and when I do, I’ll make a new video
Choosing plasticine for such a project intrigues me, but I can't help but be impressed by the result. Such an amazing project. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of castle workers.
@@AlekseyKarpushkin Regardless of the chosen material, the work is impressive! My only concern is for the longevity of the piece. Is this being kept for posterity or is it meant to be temporary?
it can't become better, i say to myself. it becomes better every minute. not only really usable parts but all this small details AND expositions with figurines?? astonishing!!!
Two thoughts. 1. Once the mice in your house figure out how to make a catapult, your cat's going to be in for some problems. 2. Just one bathroom? That's going to go south quickly! LOL ---- good work!
There is only one toilet and it belongs to the owner. The rest should relieve themselves where they can. The funny thing is that this is exactly what happened in the castles of the Middle Ages
This is why i am moving into 3D printing & such. I fought against technology, for so long…even being a Graphic Designer. I wanted to stay connected with “hands-on” work. But, I’m over it. Probably is…I change my mind WAY too much. Lol! I have Bipolar Disorder, so my mind RACES (literally. It’s a literal side effect/symptom of the illness). So, my entire life (I’m now 42), I throw my stuff away. I get tired of it & never finish it. So, I have to have faster-paced things. Kudos more for the dedication than anything.
This video was so entertaining to watch. I can see how this took a great deal of skill and perseverance to complete, despite your cute little fur babies attempt to "help" you with the design of it - I guess having a life sized play fort for a kitten was just too much temptation ! (What are you cats names please ?) It is a great achievement to construct something as large as this, and I can understand how it took so long to do it. I am very impressed that you managed it will no major mistakes. Is it based a a real castle that is in your homeland, or did you create it from your imagination ? Either way, it is amazing, and I am sure your "rampaging attack dragon" will continue to enjoy his play fort - It would be a funny video if you strapped felt dragon wings on him and he attacked one of the villages in the castle as a snack and "flew off" with them !
Thank you for your attention to my work. My name is Alexey, the cats' names are Musya (spotted) and Carolina (young, gray and white). Judging by the fact that the castle has not yet fallen apart, I think that I really managed to avoid fatal mistakes. Castles have never been built in my country, but I really love European culture and a castle is more of a collective image. It does not copy any real castle
@@AlekseyKarpushkin he means take molds of the individual pieces, and get them cast in something more durable,,plastic or foam, sell it as a kit. i would buy one.

Thank you, I appreciate your subscription! Although I do not pretend to have a thorough knowledge of history, I still try to avoid obvious contradictions, such as potatoes in storage or a modern anvil in a forge. That's why I'm glad that people like you watch me
I once modeled the best features of every girlfriend I'd had to that point, into one plasticine sculpture. My air conditioner went out, while I was out of town, and I came home to something resembling a Star Wars character. I haven't sculpted since, but this has inspired me to start a small project. Thank you for sharing.
Yeah it would be great until somebody is reaching over the castle for a model and loses their balance and slams their hand into a wall trying to steady themselves...
@@thomgizziz it's build pretty sturdy. And anyone playing a RPG game with it will (I hope) have respect for it and be cautious. After all, the fig themself for tabletop game are used with care. Even more if you have paint them yourself...
Some people have done similar things with foam bricks. Reasonably sturdy and texturable, a lot lighter, but will drive you just as insane building them. Then there are the people using actual miniature bricks…
Yes thank you. I had to go through quite a bit of trouble with the stairs, choosing the pitch of the steps so that the stairs would go out where needed and not to the side
The brain of artistic creative people is what diversity is all about. Forget skin color, the differing abilities to see the world in a completely different way than say a mathematician or a physicist is extremely important. Artistic people fill out the deep thinking process of other more traditional thinkers
Krasiva ! Sir, you have talent and I wish I could learn from you. Would you do a tutorial ? What material do you use ? Is it clay ? This is awesome. And with this huge monster cat lurking and terrorising the population of the castle 😂 So good
No, it's not clay. I use children's modeling plasticine, which never hardens. I’m unlikely to be able to give a lesson, since what I can do has already been demonstrated and I don’t know how correct it is

Thanks for the comment. There will still be some things in the castle, but you're right, there shouldn't be many of them
Back in the day most castles were plastered and whitewashed on the outside, and quite a few parts like some of the internal hoardings don't make sense, and it lacks guarderobes (toilets) and some of the lintols/arches aren't historically accurate and the don jon is unlikely to have a basement like that, and the turret isn't useful and the outer ward sunders the inner one more than you'd like and there are WAY too few wooden structures and round towers are a post cannon age so you'd expect inner stairs, filled in lower sections, and for a tower that big culverin emplacements to fire back their own cannons, or at least some springalds.

Something that would be a great part of a HUGE diorama that you could build and even have fields of wheat in stoops in the field and the horse drawn wagons and the whole countryside outside of the castle, and by the looks of it, you have a lot more plasticine you could use to build it with.! Kudos to you!!!!
Thanks for the very nice comment! Plasticine is really from my childhood, in which I sculpted cities and fortresses, populated them with little men and played in them. But there was no plasticine left at all. It was barely enough, only because in the end I started saving. I want to populate the castle and when I do, I’ll make a new video
@AlekseyKarpushkin ❤
Choosing plasticine for such a project intrigues me, but I can't help but be impressed by the result. Such an amazing project. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of castle workers.
Plasticine was chosen only because I already had it. Otherwise clay would be much better
@@AlekseyKarpushkin Regardless of the chosen material, the work is impressive! My only concern is for the longevity of the piece. Is this being kept for posterity or is it meant to be temporary?
it can't become better, i say to myself. it becomes better every minute. not only really usable parts but all this small details AND expositions with figurines?? astonishing!!!
as a Plasticine enjoyer, i rexpect ur job, on my childhood i made a loot of soldiers like from age of empires (samurais, knights ,etc)...BLESS
Это просто невероятно! Спасибо огромное. В детстве сами строили замки. Но, конечно, не такого масштаба и мастерства. Залип от начала и до конца :)
Спасибо за просмотр. Я рад, что понравилось!
Two thoughts. 1. Once the mice in your house figure out how to make a catapult, your cat's going to be in for some problems. 2. Just one bathroom? That's going to go south quickly! LOL ---- good work!
There is only one toilet and it belongs to the owner. The rest should relieve themselves where they can. The funny thing is that this is exactly what happened in the castles of the Middle Ages
Middle ages and beyond. Versailles had similar problems. Bathrooms and toilets are a late XIX - early XX innovation commodities.
Как же здорово когда ты мастер, у тебя ест воображение, свободное время и кошка.
I'm 52 and in the 80's used to but neon plasticine at Hills department store and have hours to days of fun.
I also sculpted as a child and this plasticine has remained with me since then
This is why i am moving into 3D printing & such. I fought against technology, for so long…even being a Graphic Designer. I wanted to stay connected with “hands-on” work. But, I’m over it. Probably is…I change my mind WAY too much. Lol! I have Bipolar Disorder, so my mind RACES (literally. It’s a literal side effect/symptom of the illness). So, my entire life (I’m now 42), I throw my stuff away. I get tired of it & never finish it. So, I have to have faster-paced things. Kudos more for the dedication than anything.
WOW! That is wonderful! what a work of art. Thoroughly impressive. Very nice work. WOW!
Listening to this music for almost 40 minutes nearly put me in a coma.
Me too, but I realized it when I already published the video
Honestly fair enough
But the castle build is really cool.
it's amazing how the cat did not demolish your work in a time span of 1.5 years
@@CountryMusicSavedMe It all make sense now
As somebody who's been in and out of sculpting my entire life.... This is incredible and inspiring. Thank you
Благодарю за такой масштабный проэкт и особенно за вставки с кукольными жителями...удачи в новых проектах
This video was so entertaining to watch. I can see how this took a great deal of skill and perseverance to complete, despite your cute little fur babies attempt to "help" you with the design of it - I guess having a life sized play fort for a kitten was just too much temptation ! (What are you cats names please ?)
It is a great achievement to construct something as large as this, and I can understand how it took so long to do it. I am very impressed that you managed it will no major mistakes.
Is it based a a real castle that is in your homeland, or did you create it from your imagination ? Either way, it is amazing, and I am sure your "rampaging attack dragon" will continue to enjoy his play fort - It would be a funny video if you strapped felt dragon wings on him and he attacked one of the villages in the castle as a snack and "flew off" with them !
Thank you for your attention to my work. My name is Alexey, the cats' names are Musya (spotted) and Carolina (young, gray and white). Judging by the fact that the castle has not yet fallen apart, I think that I really managed to avoid fatal mistakes. Castles have never been built in my country, but I really love European culture and a castle is more of a collective image. It does not copy any real castle
That was absolutely fantastic. You should get it cast up for sale. If I had the room, I'd buy one.
Selling is problematic because it is not transportable
@@AlekseyKarpushkin he means take molds of the individual pieces, and get them cast in something more durable,,plastic or foam, sell it as a kit. i would buy one.
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! This is fantastic!!! So much fun to watch this video!!! Hugs and kisses to the cat!!! Greetings from Cologne/Germany 😊😊😊
Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you liked it
Superbe ! Incroyable travail : vous êtes un artiste ! Amateur du Moyen-âge, je suis ébloui par votre réalisation et par votre ingéniosité : Bravo ! Mille fois Bravo !
Now for the stop motion movie with action figures. Nice!❤
Didn’t think I’d watch that whole thing but this was a damn fine experience! Thank you for this.
My missus would have gone mental if I had that in the living room for a year and a half.
Mi mujer dice,si es tu hobby tiene que aguantarlo,si no es que mucho no te valora,ni tú tampoco al permitirlo.
Perhaps she left?
@@gtukioleshe took the cat with her 😭
@@jonathanjonathan5963 Sounds like you have the better wife 🤐
Get a better missus.
This is amazing! the kitty is awesome too! Great video
Incredible detail brilliant skills good enough for any film prop department loved the humour. 😉💯👍
As a history lover, architecture and castle aficionado, designer and carpenter, I have to tell you that ILovE THIS!!!! Especially the way you are representing so close to actual historical structure! U cracked me up too with the freeze frame😂🤣 SUBSCRIBED!!!
Thank you, I appreciate your subscription! Although I do not pretend to have a thorough knowledge of history, I still try to avoid obvious contradictions, such as potatoes in storage or a modern anvil in a forge. That's why I'm glad that people like you watch me
That's an incredible peace of art. I don't think there is any finer detailed miniature castle construction.
No 3D printer will EVER compete with the beauty in this!
My GOD! Thank you for sharing this!
Удивительно ка за полгода его никто не растоптал случайно. Огромный респект за объем работы, и еще большее уважение что его удалось сохранить!
This is awesome. Hope you do more.
This thing has to weigh as much as a 1985 Chevy Suburban
How to pick it up from the floor on cardboard to move somewhere more suitable to display
Jerrold. With 2 people and a sheet of wood.
@@jerroldchampion6521 The cardboard's prolly all crusty and will disintegrate if picked up lol
Lmao
@@joemulkerins5250 Why not just build it on plywood to start with?
Супер, только наверное один единственный минус, это вес этого сооружения, а так просто класс!!!
Very nice work, beautiful cat. congratz
Thank you! The cat really helped me a lot
I once modeled the best features of every girlfriend I'd had to that point, into one plasticine sculpture. My air conditioner went out, while I was out of town, and I came home to something resembling a Star Wars character. I haven't sculpted since, but this has inspired me to start a small project. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for looking and I hope you use a more durable material for your sculptures. Good luck with your creativity!
I like that instead of just carving the brick pattern on the outside like most do,,you made each individual brick. It's allllll in the details;]😊
Imagine being able to play skirmish games in that castle. It's awesome
Yeah it would be great until somebody is reaching over the castle for a model and loses their balance and slams their hand into a wall trying to steady themselves...
@@thomgizziz it's build pretty sturdy. And anyone playing a RPG game with it will (I hope) have respect for it and be cautious.
After all, the fig themself for tabletop game are used with care. Even more if you have paint them yourself...
Some people have done similar things with foam bricks. Reasonably sturdy and texturable, a lot lighter, but will drive you just as insane building them. Then there are the people using actual miniature bricks…
Yeah children would love it
Adults would love it more, knowing what it’s like to grow up without things this cool.
Здравствуйте! Крутейший замок! Очень скрупулезная и ювелирная работа! Автор и создатель замка- молодец и настоящий мастер!
Спасибо за внимание к моему творчеству
@@AlekseyKarpushkin Смотрел все части вашего строительства с привеличайшим удовольствие! Всех Вам благ! Удачи и успехов!
Красавчик, пряма супер, я в афиге от этой работы. 👍
Not enough adjectives to describe how incredible this castle is. You’re very talented and patient !
Your medieval castle was great! The brick work was excellent! Very hard work! Spasiba!
Astonishingly good. Particularly like the way you do the spiral staircases, ingenious.
Yes thank you. I had to go through quite a bit of trouble with the stairs, choosing the pitch of the steps so that the stairs would go out where needed and not to the side
The brain of artistic creative people is what diversity is all about. Forget skin color, the differing abilities to see the world in a completely different way than say a mathematician or a physicist is extremely important. Artistic people fill out the deep thinking process of other more traditional thinkers
The constant fear of triping over all that hard work for 1.5 year’s is unbeareble in my opinion but well Done dude👍
Krasiva ! Sir, you have talent and I wish I could learn from you. Would you do a tutorial ? What material do you use ? Is it clay ? This is awesome. And with this huge monster cat lurking and terrorising the population of the castle 😂 So good
No, it's not clay. I use children's modeling plasticine, which never hardens. I’m unlikely to be able to give a lesson, since what I can do has already been demonstrated and I don’t know how correct it is
Очень круто, прямо вау.
Шикарный монтаж, а сценки просто нет слов.
Hello friend, nice job making the castle and video👍👍
I have never built anything as ambitious as this but I too have to contend with curios and playful cats when building my model kits.
10000 subscribers now. Respect to you with this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
Outstanding. A true work of art.
This gave me that much more appreciation for how freaking long this must have taken in real life. Fun watch, awesome build.
Fantastic build, it's a good job you had the little guys to help cut the blocks, it would have taken twice as long without their help😁. God bless you
Yes, if the guys hadn’t missed the hammer, we would have built it even faster
Круто, столько проделанной работы! Масштаб впечатляет!!! Спасибо, за видео. Ждем заселение замка🤗
Я рад, что понравилось, жаль качество съемки так себе, но основное увидеть можно. Заселение будет обязательно, заодно и обзор внутренних помещений сниму
Спасибо большое, будем ждать продолжения! А Каролина нападает на замок?
@@Анастасия-х3у7щ Да, причем уже дважды сломала ограждения на стене
Молодец, очень красиво! Кот настоящий помощник!
19:50 🤣🤣🤣.
Respect for work and humor 👍
Good luck moving all that. a rigid support would have been nice 😅
6:58 had me laughing
Exactly what I thought
“He Is a Man of Focus, Commitment and Sheer Fucking Will”
Its gorgeous. I build models, sometimes professionally. I sure do appreciate what you have created. Splendid! Magnificent!
Estoy viendo nuevamente el video porque me encanta todo lo que sea pequeñito. Parece. Montas y desmontas como si se tratara de un pastel medieval. Te felicito,sos un maestro de tan maravillosa obra. Me suscribo para gozar de mas construcciones.👏👏😾💖🇦🇷
Мультипликация огонь))
you should paint this! amazing
No way. Its done
Your cat is a master builder. 36:27
He's a Free Meowser.
The only bad part about this video is that it ended. What an amazing build, congrats! I loved seeing all the household items being intergrated into the terrain. Why recycle X amount of matchboxes when they can become the hill entrance to your castle! 😆
The attention to detail is outstanding! Thanks for sharing!
Без слів. Емоції. Супер, тільки БРАВО 👍👏
Дюже дякую за увагу до моєї роботи! Мені приємно, що вам сподобалося
