I don't think I've ever seen anyone make this particular scene in miniature form before and what an absolute banger it turned out to be. Awesome work!
Thank you!! I appreciate it :)
Turned out great, man! Well done!
@@Boylei Thank you! Means a lot coming from you.
This is a fantastic build mate. Really top notch in terms of all the little details.
@@microforgeminis thank you! I really appreciate it!
Absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous look at all the amazing detail and the design is epic ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@taramariatravis2486 thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words 🧙♂️
@@CraftandQuest your very much welcome just carry on creating your masterpiece 😀 💕💕
Tolle Idee...super ausgeführt...gefällt mir richtig gut 👍
Danke :)
Getting past that mental block "I'm not capable of that" or "I can't make that" is something ive been forcing myself into in the past few years. My main craft is crochet; I have been doing that since I was about 7. But until two years ago, I have been a beginner crocheted, never pushing past what I already knew and assuming that I was incapable of anything outside of that. What is with that mindset? Anyways, ive recently gotten into miniatures thanks to a lighting bolt of inspiration while I was in hobby lobby. I walked past the decorative lanterns, and one of them seemed to scream out "look at me! You could build a tiny gnome library inside here!" I bought that lantern (half price, too!) And now ive spent every waking moment learning about scale, and then balsa wood and gathering as much free material as I can and buying way too much and learning how to felt and use an exacto knife...so many skills I never thought I'd ever have I suddenly have now, and I'm so happy with the tiny things I have made so far. My idea has morphed and grown out of that inspiration lantern now a few months later and into a built in shelving unit in my house and I just can't wait to see what I'm capable of! Patience is key, but also your mind set. 😊
@@beccacoleman498 that’s so inspirational! Thanks for sharing your journey. Honestly that’s super cool! Lanterns are a magnificent housing unit for mini stuff. Recently I made a lantern project as well recently! It’s a previous video. ! I started stained glass several years ago, so that’s how I found lantern crafting. Now that I’m doing this mini stuff, it’s very exciting seeing where things go.
This kept popping up in my YT suggestions.
So finally took a look. Sweet what an amazing piece of work. Thanks for the advice about the stairs. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 🍂🍁🍂
@@debbralehrman5957 glad you liked it! And you’re welcome! :)
What a wonderful diorama! It really sparks my imagination and now I feel the urge to build a book nook myself! At the same time I feel this middle earth - homesickness if you know what I mean. Thank you for the great video!
@@Ciryatur that means so much! Thank you for the kind words. I think you should totally make a book nook! The sky is the limit for ideas. I think my favorite part about book nooks is that you can tailor fit your design to your literary interests. I’m tempted to make a Victorian streets scene with kind of a haunting vibe, and nestle it between my “Picture of Dorian Gray” and “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”!
I’m glad you liked the video as well! More to come! ❤️🧙♂️
Fantastic. Great little details. Looking forward to whatever you make next.
@@HpArtcraft thank you! 😊 I might miss releasing a video in September, but starting October I’ll be back to 1-2 videos a month!
what a great idea.
9:44 beautiful.
@@bengabrielson9381 thank you! There’s more to come :)
Oh, I love how you conveyed the size and height of the archives! Looks amazing! (I probably wouldn't have the patience for the brick work...)
@@ReginaRegenbogn thank you! I appreciate it. I bet you could surprise yourself! 😊
You’ve done a great job. It looks fantastic.
Your editing skills are excellent by the way.
@@littleredsubmarine thank you very much!! I appreciate the kind words 🧙♂️
Really beautiful 😊😊😊
@@cerisekappes580 thank you!
@@CraftandQuest you are welcome 🤗
This is one of the best things Ive seen in awhile. You did great. Id love to do a Scrooge in the Counting House or Scrooge talking to Marley scene for Xmas sometime.
@@kristophergoad2135 that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for leaving the comment 🧙♂️
That would be a really cool one! Someone on Reddit mentioned that I should do Elrond studying in Rivendell, and Saruman studying in his tower. And do kind of like a series.
That’s been a tempting idea!
@@CraftandQuest ah having 2 or 3 of these on the shelf would be WOW!!! pieces that would grab anyone's attention. Not to mention you'd be able to look over and see them anytime, which is the coolest part.
Dude your work is awesome 👏🏼 I really enjoy the video !!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment and kind words. There's more to come! :)
@@CraftandQuest Your welcome, man you got all the tools go for it . I also recently started my channel and staying motivated is important. I wish you the best on your 😎
I love it! A nice original book nook depicting a really great scene. Excellent job mate :)
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Very very cool!
@@WhisperingTranquility. thank you!
I'm so relieved that the railing is up to regulation!!! This is so incredibly creative!
@@randytobias1537 it’s a big relief to the librarians. And not just the ones currently in the infirmary.
Most excellent book nook. Thanks for sharing. New sub
@@ResinBelle thank you! I appreciate the support 🧙♂️👍
Fantastic work, and you really capture the atmosphere so well. Subscribed!
@@EmlynBoyle thank you! 😊
Great idea dude! 💡 looks ace 👍 👌 the parchment and books looked really satisfying to make!
@@TheWizardsBrush thank you!! That’s my favorite part ❤️🧙♂️
Very nice
@@jamesczepa9488 thank you!
I think your skills are awsome! I found the trick for patience is to not work so long that you get frustrated, take a break and when you come back (in an hour or a day...) you will be surprised at how good it looks after it sits. I picked up some good techniques from your video- you do a great
job! 😊
@@celticlass730 thank you! Yeah a break can never hurt, that’s for sure! I’m glad you saw some techniques that you liked! 👍
Very nice work. 👍🏻
@@majikmindstorm thank you very much! I appreciate it
Epic!
@@gregallman482 thank you!
For some reason it's not my favorite LotR scene, but I feel like the scene with Frodo all wrapped up in spiderwebs seems like it could be REALLY fun to see or make in a miniaturized scale.
@@jordanpetersen4624 ooo that’s a good one! I love that idea.
One that’s been on my mind for a while is when he makes the jump to the ferry with the Nazgûl in pursuit. Now that I have a printer it’s much more feasible
Nice!!
@@maartenhappel9014 🧙♂️🙏
Very nice.
@@thomasbraden8242 thanks!
Good work man!!
@@logan.vanderbeck thank you!
DUUUDE I spent the whole time watching this video just saying "WOAH NO WAY!" really loud and disturbing my neighbors. So freaking rad! Well done!!!
@@jordanpetersen4624 I’m glad you liked it!!
Really great work! New to your channel and so glad I found it!
@@cosmereinminiature thank you! And I’m glad you did too!
Found you from reddit, this is so cool! As someone who has never done this, and may never will, I love the step by step and in depth look at the creation process.
@@TylerJMacDonald thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. I’m glad you found me!!
Turned out beautiful 😍😍
@@diyfireking thank you very much!
this is awesome!
@@KinsfolkMiniatures thanks!! Maybe someday I can include one of your awesome sculpts in a diorama! :)
@@CraftandQuest that would be a cool thing to see 😊 thanks
awesome content buddy keep it up!
@@Scuds thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Very 😎
:)
Did skip the intro😅 saw it on reddit and wanted to jump straight into building. Awesome project with great result!!
@@Reudam thank you for checking it out!
Coming from working with clay and doing miniature wooden swords, your artwork is amazing. I'm getting on my second diorama now, and you are definitely an inspiration and teacher for my new journey. Keep doing you, bro! 👊🏼💯🔥
Ps, new subscriber
That's awesome! And thank you very much! That means the world to me. Good luck and have fun!
Any chance you could share the stl file for Gandalf? This is absolutely amazing!
@@lauri.nordling I think I can? I have to check the legality of that from hero forge. I bought it though so I don’t know why I wouldn’t be able to. Let me get back to you via DM’s
What a cool idea. Knowing your videos I assumed it would turn out looking great as usual but 9:43 had me 😮😮😮 I want one!!!
Is it secret!? Is it safe!?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. The books being next to it definitely gives scope and perspective!
Well done. I really enjoyed your explanation of the process, and the final results.
I do find that the second level books shelf bothers me. This has nothing to do with aesthetics, and everything to do with having had to deal with things being stored in questionable locations with dubious access. Remember, we have safety regulations because someone did the dumb thing in the first place.
@@ChristopherDunkle haha 😆 good points. And thank you for the kind words. The biggest oversight in the project was not decreasing the size of that back shelf and not adding an additional railing.
Live and learn!
@@CraftandQuest The oversized shelf, and lack of railing adds to the impression of it being an old, almost forgotten, overcrowded archive.
You can almost picture, at some point in the distant past, some junior scribe informing the head archivist that they need another shelf for storage on that level, and the head archivist offhandedly pointing to a nearby set of old shelves that he wants to replace with newer shelves and saying "I think that will fit. Take that and put it down there."
I mean it does fit, mostly, and it can be used for storage. The stuff you are going to be putting on there probably won't be needed that often anyway. So, you know, it will do. And you don't want to seem ungrateful for actually getting shelves.
So could you have done things a bit differently to make things fit more neatly in the space you had. Yes. Does the way you made it reflect the way things have sometimes been done in the real world. Also yes.
I'm genuinely curious if other people that watch craft videos actually care about the maker of the video. Like it's all him for the first minute or so and I always skip skip skip those parts. It just seems like every crafter has to put themselves out there when we're here for the craft and don't really care about the person
I wish you luck in finding a channel that works for you!
@@CraftandQuest no need to get butt hurt I still enjoy your craft just not seeing or listening to you. It is what it is
