1/12 Scale Medieval Castle Ruins Diorama/Witcher Musume Project

[@sernesai]

Videos like this one certainly make people admire the whole process and eventually love this hobby in general. I really enjoyed watching it, felt like a vlog that got transformed into a mini-documentary.

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you so much for this comment. It’s what I hope people take away and enjoy from what I do. I appreciate your kindness and sharing your thoughts. 🐤

[@User-ef8vk9nc2dnpl]

You should make longer stories (5-10 mins each or whatever style you like) after doing all of that work. Your dioramas look fun and fantastic.

[@MrSpriken]

That’s actually my goal for when I move in a few years. I don’t have the space at the moment or time to do what’s really in my head. But fear not, one day I will 🐤 thanks for your kindness and comment

Chestnut commited Sudoku 😮, that was a lot of beeps 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrSpriken]

Hahaha 😆 It deserved those bleeps I assure you. I spent good money on that horse, and it broke beyond repair sooooooo easily. Can't even buy replacement joints for it. I wanted to throw it over some mountains. haha 🐥

[@aceonyoutube]

@@MrSpriken Yeah I don't blame you, I've only ever had 1 figure that broke seconds out of the box and it was the Mezco one:12 PX Harley Quinn. I owned around 20 Mezco figures at that point so I knew that the hands come off fairly easy with a gentle pull, but this one wasn't having it. I put it under hot water, in boiling water, used a hairdryer, then it eventually started to move and it came off only the wrist peg had snapped and it was still stuck in the hand and she had a nub for a wrist. Luckily I was able to send it back to the place I bought it from, it turns out the hand had been glued on somehow and would never have come off. But I've never had a figure fall 2ft onto carpet and break it's neck... literally 😅. Damn you chestnut you had your whole life ahead of you, then straight out of the box you pull this Thelma and Louise crap 🏔️ 🐎 💨

[@MrSpriken]

@@aceonyoutube Yeah, it sucks when it happens eh? But I guess we have to take the bad with the good when it comes to our hobbies. At least we got a little laughs out of it 😆

[@884nothinghere4]

what a beautiful work ❤

[@MrSpriken]

What a beautiful comment! 🐤 thank you

[@Gnomenutz]

Love it, poor Butternut 😢 The Diorama turned out amazing!

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you kindly friend 🐤 yeah, poor chestnut will be missed. It’s off to the glue factory for him.

[@TimboToys]

Super cool build!

[@MrSpriken]

You’re very kind 🐤

[@BurakNAydn]

Me seeing the amazing real mini-leaves: "How Steve will glue all of those on that tree? Wow!" 😲 Afterwards seeing 99% of them on the lawn: "Oh, ok then..." 😅 Extraordinary work as always. 😊

[@MrSpriken]

Hahaha yeah, it was enough to just glue a few on the tree 😂 was more fun throwing them on the ground. 🐤

[@jimver2145]

Very cool work! I liked and subbed.

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you for the kind comment and for subscribing. It’s very nice of you 🐤

[@tomassoejakto]

22:25 that IS a nice-looking door! Appreciate the video, man. It's a nice feeling when I look at your diorama and can sort of piece together how you make stuff.

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you! Yeah I love looking at other peoples works and figuring out how they do things too. Its so nice being able to learn and be inspired by others. Thanks for your kindness 🐤

[@Bootleg_Sasuke]

STUNNING work! 👏👏👏

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you sooooo much!! 🐤

[@rey-o]

I'm late to this video oh no! I'm currently catching up, the diorama turned out AMAZING you really knocked it out of the park. The musume model is excellent as well. I just love looking at all the details you put in it. I have the same leave punch but I didn't think to use real leaves, great idea. All the moss makes me happy too.

[@MrSpriken]

Thanks so much my friend! Means a lot coming from a talented fellow like yourself. The moss really brought the whole thing to life I think, and it was easier to work with than I thought. Oh and lastly, about the real leaves, somehow when punched into small ones like this they don't seem to dry up or lose their colour. Its like magic 🐣

[@ReyOscuro3090]

I love the details on the door!

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you! That door was so much fun to make 🐤

[@maximilian3544]

The diorama turned out amazing.

[@MrSpriken]

Thanks!! I learned a ton and now know I could do it quite a bit better the next time around 🐤💪🏻

[@cardinal_polo]

That’s amazing mr spriken ✌🏻

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you kindly, I really appreciate it 🐤

[@buzzm.8797]

Wow, she turned out very pretty! Her armor looks just like I imagined it. I did not have Yuki's head for her in mind but the eye decals make it work. They are a good choice. The castle ruin looks awesome too. Keep up the good work.

[@MrSpriken]

Thanks so much! Next time I will do a project focusing more on the musume. I like how she turned out, I just wish I had more time to customize her more. 🐥

[@buzzm.8797]

I'm excited about your new 3D printer. I never had a bamboo lab but they are upper class filament printers. My recommendation for the start is to use simple PLA without additives for effects like fibers(resilience), (metallic) powders or pigments like 'glow in the dark'.

[@MrSpriken]

@@buzzm.8797 Thanks for the advice. I am a total newb when it comes to 3d printers, and I imagine I will have quite the large learning curve, but thankfully I know of a few pros who can lend me a helping hand should I require it. I take it you print stuff too? If so, what sort of things do you use it for may I ask?

[@buzzm.8797]

@@MrSpriken I started with filament printing. The majority of prints were cases or to hold stuff in place like sensors or cameras. I also printed some figures and did some experiments with articulated figures still on fmd printers. Than I started with resin printing and printed some miniatures and again articulated figures. During my last job I did 3d printing for prototyping and small scale production.

[@MrSpriken]

That’s awesome! Sounds like you have loads of experience. I’m happy this printer seems to be fairly straight forward to use and easy to get going right of the box. Now all I need is time to do it. Wish me luck!

[@MrSpriken]

Hey cool, thanks for the info my friend 🐤

[@adriansue8955]

3d printer? That's an FDM printer (the type using filament spools as opposed to resin curing) So good for larger low detail items like landscape, wall paneling, vehicles, etc, that you'll add stuff on top of. while for high detail miniatures you'll look into SLA printing (resin)

[@adriansue8955]

Twine Rope thought experiment? try carefully using a flame to burn off the fraying bits and darken it see how that looks?

[@MrSpriken]

That’s a great idea. 🐤

[@legoben98productions]

From what I heard about figma, especially the nendoroid is that the longer the figure is in the original box the worst it’ll probably be like a sticky residue or becoming brittle, like it needs air to stay in good condition (only heard it from a review of a Doki doki litterateur club Monika nendoroid). How long did chestnut stay in his tome?

[@MrSpriken]

Very interesting. He was in his home for 6 months. Not sure how long before in stores or warehouse 🐤

[@legoben98productions]

@@MrSpriken I’m just going by third ear, but if the horse feels like a normal plastic horse then the fact that it fell and broke it’s neck might just have been random like I’ve had my dc superheroes s3 Superman figure since it was released and then one day I broke his arm just by rotating it like normal, glued his arm a couple of times throughout the years but it kept breaking again like it was fate or something. Anyway now he’s in a bag waiting for me to try to fix him the fourth time

[@MrSpriken]

@@legoben98productions Yeah, sometimes thats just life I guess. I'm sure I will try fixing him up one day and it will be a new skill learned
