ARK DIORAMA

I made this custom diorama to take pictures of my action figures (primarily Transformers).

[@TheComicReliefCrusader]

I just discovered this video! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

[@robd1329]

This was very impressive to see! Incredible work! I wish i had this talent to make this!

[@maxbrandt6]

Bob and Doug are a nice touch!

[@pixelated.dreams]

Im 4 years late seeing this but BY PRIMUS im invested. Brillaint set up!

[@fanstfs7661]

This is too serious .. i only can imagine building it in my dreams

[@dogcades]

You can certainly buy one ready-made, which might be an answer for some. Not everyone even needs a diorama. I just did it for fun. For some, all you need is a background picture, or I have seen some that just use a TV image still which works because you can change it constantly (depending on your needs of course).

Great work man looks fantastic! Greetings from Chile 👍🏻

[@pupunoob]

I wish you'd show off more. Loved this video.

[@mikestorr2010]

How can you tell he’s Canadian, Bob and Doug and singing the friendly giant at the end!!! Awesome. Also the builds was fantastic :)

[@dogcades]

Not everybody stays till the end or gets the friendly giant reference so bravo and Canadian indeed! :)

[@EruptBlackman]

Very freaking cool. I really appreciate you sharing this. I am inspired thanks

[@bonnarb]

Just saw this today, and I think the part I loved most was the homage to The Friendly Giant!

[@dogcades]

Hee hee! I wonder how many got that reference?! :)

[@e-man763]

Dude, phenomenal job! 👏 I love the lights on teletraan one, it looks straight out of the cartoon. And the little couches are a nice touch 😂

[@ValkInnit]

Really enjoyed the video, went through your channel to see if there was anymore and I was sad to see that there was only one other video. Keep going! You're a natural!

[@GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGottaGoFast]

great commentary. no over excited KZbin personality, just a humble passionate man

[@new2vero2]

OMG this is amazing!! Excellent job ... Top tip.. for your Transformers Comics consider using EGS Grading.. I will showcase them grading/encasing my Transformers #1

[@dogcades]

How do you read them once they're slabbed?! lol That said, I do own a 9.2 (newsstand) no 1 🙂

[@new2vero2]

@@dogcades .. Over on my channel we Cover the Modern Larry Hama IDW GIJoe comics . When u check me out I started a Serious ( cuz many of us GenXers are unfamilar with this new aspect in "todays Comic world" .. To answer your question.. You can still enjoy your comics but read them Online just type "Read Comics Online (insert title here ex GIJoe).. When i have to cross reference with something from the Marvel era I actually use the Online of the Marvel run Vs my stored Marvel Comics yet to get graded. ) Cover over and check it out. I walk u thru the other Grading Compaies ..show what ur books will look like.. and take on particular company. I only do this to help others :)

[@NimOCE]

Great video, I really liked what you did with the christmas lights, wouldn't have thought of doing that in a million years, now I know about it, I'll keep it in mind. Would be keen to see more.

[@fishlinegraphiclink5277]

if you could whisper more that would be great!... lol just kidding. great work ;) got inspired might do my own.

[@isaacmora4189]

This was superb! amazing work you've done plus all the tips you've sharte. Thanks!!!

[@BardePhilippe.P76]

Pure epic joy to my 80s 2022 years eyes lol

[@flameduelist81]

That was awesome one of the best I’ve seen

[@scottrenfer2735]

So cool! I like your style! Your cat loved that tunnel and everything looks awesome! Well done!

[@ericsalazar6712]

My friend, I just came upon your video and I applaud your talent. Best Ark Diorama I've seen, and you've inspired me for my Legends Master Piece figures. Thank You So Much for Sharing, and I wish I could give your video more than just one like. Definitely saving this video.

[@alandrak3227]

hardwork and dedication on another level,great work mate.loved it!

[@charlesschultz3465]

Nicely done! Your light-work on the computer turned out SO well!

Outstanding!!!

[@starscream11101]

this was awesome, you my friend, are addicted to transformers. as so am I.

[@PlainKen]

Great work. Love what you did.

[@watchthestuff12]

Very well done!

[@dustbuster9768]

Great stuff!

[@ultramaximusreviews]

Love it. Makes me want to do one. What does the Nemesis look like? You should do a video on that one! Be sure to add to my Fanpage on Facebook! LOVE the end scene you hoser!

[@dogcades]

In a lot of ways this is considered outdated I would think as there's many other much better solutions out there and people have done a lot better of their own versions but I'm so glad I got the time to finally put this together. Glad you liked it, thank you!

[@bobsamurai]

woah that's amazing. great work

[@TheRobinusPrime]

Nice one. Expected to see Sharkticons everywhere!

[@dogcades]

Perhaps you just might, in the next one...

[@maximalprime5484]

Outstanding work! This and a few others have really inspired me to make my own, which I am in the process of building right now. Finding those 3rd party Teletraan-1's for anything less than $150-$200 is really tough. I may just build my own. Thanks for sharing the video!

Please post a link when you do!

[@danielbrant6740]

Was going to comment on the audio quality but you mentioned it at the end and even apologized for it. Your inner Canadian is showing...🤣 Great setup, by the way.

Did you wait through to the end after the credits for the bonus bit? 😁

[@futuramayeah]

can you do a stop motion scene from the first? episode when teletran one wakes them up?

[@dogcades]

I totally could! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@tracksimusprime9550]

I could only dream of having something like that. I think I could build it with all the resources but the cost is what would probably drive me away. Could you take a guess at how. Much the main telegram one area costed?

[@dogcades]

I think that iGear Teletraan set was around $140 at the time.

Cool

[@christianenireb9713]

Hi great dio, can you tell me what website did you use for the wall background?

[@dogcades]

I had to find them online but the old links I have are no longer valid. I would do a search for diorama Ark background Transformers background or something similar and it should come up for you. There's also a purple Decepticon version.

[@mieldeayote2822]

Thats neat

[@dogcades]

Thank you!

[@topnotch97]

so where do you get those "tiles?" been meaning to put something on my glass display case as a background.

[@dogcades]

www.toyhax.com :) Those great folks have a TON of cool backdrops too for many genre! Be sure to check them out!

[@tylermorgan5230]

You rock

[@bfang19]

Hi, may I know which company that Soundwave and Shockwave was from that you have?

[@dogcades]

Fanstoys 3rd party "Quakewave" (Shockwave), and Hasbro Masterpiece Soundwave (official release). :)

[@Metal-Nimrod]

You gotta do one for the nemesis

[@dogcades]

Maybe one day!

[@akimot13]

Do Transformers really have couches?

[@dogcades]

Not couches per se, but do sit when at the bar.

[@njr7362]

What floor did you use and how much was it

[@dogcades]

The floor tiles were a buck or two each but were 'seconds', from toyhax.com - they had a booth at a convention and were selling them off as is.

[@tylermorgan5230]

I love kreo

[@calebstudios6276]

Where did you get those lights

[@dogcades]

Just a local dollar store or it may have been Walmart!

[@calebstudios6276]

Oh ok thank you I plan on making a diramina like yours

[@njr7362]

How much did the teletran 1 cost you please

[@njr7362]

And where did you get it

[@dogcades]

@@njr7362 back in 2010, I think I paid about $125CDN and I found mine at a Comic Con event (not an exclusive or anything -- one of the vendors just happened to have it there). The iGear IG-TF007 Computer Control Center (3rd party) might be found on eBay, but hasn't been available for some time. That said, there have been other 3rd party versions made since.

[@njr7362]

@@dogcades thank you so much

[@ashm4487]

Where can u get the set

[@dogcades]

Sadly I don't think you can find them now. It was an old 3rd party set made by iGear. I think more people are just 3D printing their own, or buying those cardboard pop ups from places like ToyHax.com.

Very impressive diorama. I like how your cat can fit inside the tunnel. You can make some stop motion animation videos with it & your figures if you want. :)
