[@dannyeccles1894]

The video's just starting but I wanted to say, yes I've been waiting for videos like this.

[@davel.woodrum4672]

From Davewoodrum- Thank you so much for the credit and the AWESOME transformation that you did on this! The whole diorama looks amazing and I showed my wife the lighting effects- I've bought the color changing strips myself in hopes that if I can ever get her to paint (as I'm lousy) as I'd like to do something similar to this. If you ever need anything from my non-free Fishwife Games brand (on Drivethru) for a presentation like this just let me know and I'll comp for you.

[@WarhavenSC]

That diorama isn't for sale, is it? :D

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Nerd Musk sure! $2500 😛

[@WarhavenSC]

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Tempting.... but no. :D It is super awesome, though. Kudos.

[@Draculord666]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours ever! Cyberpunk really doesn't get enough love in the terrain department.

[@erc1971erc1971]

Part of the reason Cyberpunk does not get much terrain love is just how much work it takes. This build had alot of parts to it, and to do Cyberpunk justice you need alot of it to create that crowded urban environment...which then creates the problem of being hard to move minis around in.

[@libbyannbest1723]

The small details are the most difficult. Hirst Arts makes silicone molds for plaster. This diorama can be easier if you incorporate Hirst Arts molds 325 and 326.

[@Miscast]

Hell yeah! Thanks for using the bits my dad and I made Jeremy. The result is unreal and I'm jealous I didn't make it.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Jeremy i think this might be my favorite build you've done! Love it!

[@rDunfee]

I use those same transparencies with my scifi stuff to create energy shields. They work really well for glass in my 3d printed buildings too! Especially when I put a tea light behind them

[@jonathantillian6528]

OK, I know I'm not the brightest, but I cannot find where Staples does transparencies on their website and my local Staples' employee looked at me like a whelk doing a math problem. Where's the option for these wonderful transparent prints?

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

@@jonathantillian6528 I can only speak for this site: staplescopyandprint.ca so I have no idea about Staples in USA. But when you create a file for print, you need to select paper type. One of the options available to me was transparency. So it wasn't an option right on the main page like printing photos or something, just an option for general document printing.

[@AvgKsHunter]

The nice thing about the diorama videos are regardless if the project you build is impractical for a gaming table there are vast amounts of techniques that are transferable to a gaming use build. I really dig building dioramas as well. Probably more so than practical game use pieces so I love what you did here. I can tell you really get into these as well so I hope you continue to return to these. Again tons of useful information in the two dioramas you’ve presented for anyone’s project regardless of its intended use. Great work!

[@connortremeer1966]

Reflective stuff inside the lit room would help build a brighter space. Like chrome paint or small mirror tiles. It help bounce light around instead of the black walls absorbing some of the light.

[@TaltosVT]

Excellent build. We used to play Cyberpunk RPGs 25+ years ago. You nailed the look perfectly. My favorite bit are the details on the wall to the left. Well done!

[@jimmd68]

'80s dystopia is always fun!

[@Crapnard]

Dude! This is some next-level genius. If you ever wanna be that guy who builds miniature cityscapes for practical fx-heavy movies, this right here is your calling card. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!

[@Pollin970]

I dont know how comfortable you are with electronics and soldering, but to get those windows/signs to light up you could add a piece of acrylic behind it and wire in a LED below; Using the acrylic to diffuse the light through the sign.

[@tobyinei3624]

Extending the building could be a cool idea. The bottom is already lookin sick but the higher it goes the cooler it gets!

[@darkypc]

man... that´s the definition of passion for crafting..one of the best builds ever.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Dude. This is a masterpiece.

[@oldmanofthemountains3388]

Adding the parchment paper made a huge difference! The color changing lights look great!!!

[@MikeManderachia]

That is a kickass diorama! The color and light really work against the dark and grime, it really captures the Cyberpunk feel.

[@sayloth]

they are called "ballards". The things cars run into. really love your vids man.

[@sum1liteamatch]

Sadly I'm looking at this super sick build and my mind is stuck on "what font is that? That totally works for that build!"

[@AlbertoDsign]

You could always try a font finder, like the one dafonts has, from a screenshot of the video. Good luck!

[@bloocheez3]

The build itself is masterful but what I like the most is how you have a whole little scenario set up with that cyber-samurai facing down those armored soldiers. If only there was a way to make it raining...

[@cthulhufhtagn2483]

Loving Master Shinobi there! Robot/cyborg samurai are so cool.

[@Wallach_a]

That looks so cyberpunk meshed w/Big Trouble in Little China. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

That wailing 80s solo sets a perfect atmosphere too

More Cyberpunk styles this is just perfection. Well done

[@dwyerd4532]

The things that stop cars from driving onto the sidewalk are called "bollards" (at least, that's what I know them as thanks to Cities: Skylines) Sweet build!

[@donquijotedegranada]

from spanish "bolardo" (wich means "ball on top")

[@AlbertoDsign]

@@donquijotedegranada Yes, that's the word, but it doesn't mean that. In fact, most of them don't have a ball on top. The etymology is different.

[@donquijotedegranada]

[@aerial_silks_hoop]

I really enjoy these standalone dioramas. I don't play DnD (or is it D & D?). I'm just here for the entertainment and to learn new skills to apply to making dollhouse miniatures. It looks great

[@rotheraisscott7315]

More cyber punk please!

[@joesnee776]

This is a really cool build! It's really amazing to see how you leverage a broad array of techniques to get some really cool effects!! I also love how passionate you seemed about this build too! The end result looks fantastic!

[@sillymonger]

This is by far my favorite build you've ever done

[@TheDystopianAmbianceProject]

I know this video it's almost one year old, but I need to ask you... will you create more cyberpunk dioramas? This one it's pure gold!

[@joeguerreiro3701]

This build is so awesome. And the sweet 80s music pushed this video over the top. Well done as always.

[@Agamemnon2]

Interesting ideas at play here. It's given me an idea for a project of my own, especially since there's going to be a licensed miniatures range for Cyberpunk RED later this year. There's a particular scene in the novel "Neuromancer" that I would love to be able to capture in miniature form.

[@luclin92]

Wait there will be cyberpunk minis soon!?

[@sacrethomas8536]

Cool! I use Infinity figs for my CP2020 campaign, and had an eye on some of zombicide invasion ones, as they're much much cheaper (plastic vs metal...); but an official CP red range can be nice!

[@abmackay]

OG cyberpunk...! And what scene is that???

[@supercarspotingbyronboudre4733]

I've admired your work for years! THIS IS MY FAVOURITE THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE!!!!! WOW!!!!!

[@shaneflickinger]

Now that is a sweet diorama! Cool trick with inverting the corrugated paper too.

[@matthuckabey007]

Your workspace and supplies are a dream come true. I covet your space. All this and no airbrush?

[@davidrickey8841]

It's not fantasy. But it still looks amazing. I was in Japan recently and I can totally see that being part of the Shinjuku district.

[@quickcrafting7176]

I was inspired by your last video and gave it a try!! I thought why not post it on youtube!! So I did! I hope you give it a watch and keep on crafting!

[@CrimsonTemplar2]

Very cool diorama. The parchment paper definitely makes the leds work.

[@Hadorus1]

New we need a whole campaign about this!!

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

Yesterday I got an immense urge to start scratch building mechs and dioramas, that is kind of cyberpunk, would love to see you take on something like that.

[@Wallach_a]

On my corona virus agenda, binge watch BMC back catalogue😷😷😷.

[@shayulghul]

Fun video. I love the little happy accidents to occur when you're creating.

[@JeffJedi]

Oooh I love the bending of the q-tips idea! Really a amazing and remarkable build here. I dont know if there are games set in this setting but there should be. Worthy of Rulebook dios.

[@wadenvern]

Great build! Excellent job on the details Jamie :) Little tip for light builds in the future, if you find the lights not bright enough, paint the inside light housing flat white to reflect the most light, it'll brighten it up considerably over black

[@raebooker5452]

Awesome!!! Love the blade runner nod. Now you need the body of the defeated foe!

[@derpeter5523]

Usually not a big fan of cyber punk, but this is really awesome! I think it might be even your best build, the amount of detail and creativity is insane. Love it!

[@dh-qn4ch]

Love to see you add a tiny fan with led’s behind

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

That would look awesome actually

[@danielthomas5474]

you really need to do more builds like this. I really enjoyed watching this.

[@Pearlflower1]

When I see 3D print drip down I think you should build a cyberpunk nest - with monster and portal maybe !

[@jeffhreid]

Came out great. Very creative. What an age we live in, make things from bit and bytes.

[@negotiableaffections]

Ridley Scott has a lot to answer for - I love it! Why are we so enamoured by a world it would be hell to live in? ...."Cross now, cross now"

@@Owen-pj3ms Even if you own a dice company.

[@Owen-pj3ms]

@@angrytheclown801 oh yeah. I'm a fan of d100 systems or the cortex system. But the shadowrun resources and setting is great! Huge problem with running games is you almost have to run three simultaneous games, the physical realm, the magic plane and the cyber world. It's hard work.

[@angrytheclown801]

@@Owen-pj3ms One thing that helps me run the magic and cyber worlds is an hourglass. Even if there's no time limit, it reminds those in different perspectives that their time is different than the meat world so they need to think quickly. I also speak faster to them. Not much faster, but just enough to be noticeable.

[@cerethpainting6606]

Love the change in genre. Love the fantasy, but this is soooo cool!

[@irrationalgaz]

This was a super cool build. Lots for me to unpack and apply to my underhive build. I have always envisioned my Necromunda board as having a grim-punk aesthetic.

[@RokuroCarisu]

"Grimpunk" is a really good term to describe Necromunda. :D

I am just discovering this building craft and am falling in love. I'm not a tabletop gamer, but I love artistic handy work and sculpture and darkness and creatures, and am starting to think creating monsters in small sets could be a lot of fun to bring some of my sketch ideas to life. This piece came together so well! Awesome details all over the place. Love every time he says "I think this needs some..." I think in my head "Yes, yes it does, do that!" And then he does it in some cool way and it's amazing.

The pothole was no mistake, only an happy accident. Killer dioramas btw. Looks great.

[@FrigginBoomToys]

Accidental hole? Accidental weathering you mean

[@Chill1332]

I love LOVE that you are doing dioramas! I don't play tabletop games but I always watch your channel for diorama building and painting techniques. So it's SUPER cool seeing you make some dioramas yourself. I always enjoy seeing how your pieces come together but this one was particularly cool! Keep them coming!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

So cool! I love these builds that are more advanced where you don't worry about it necessarily being targeted to beginners and just let loose. Fantastic result, very inspiring!

Now as a followup you need the Cyberpunk Corporate Penthouse

[@bettsdn]

This is truly one of the raddest things you’ve ever created.

[@strange-universe]

That looks great, and the lighting choice made a big difference over the first type. Yeah, looks like we might have a lot of extra time for hobbies and gaming over the next few weeks or maybe even months.

[@brysonbaker3125]

You should do some Warhammer 40k battle reports or D&D session videos. I would definitely watch those

[@mszoomy]

That came out really amazing, worth all the time and effort. Funny, when you teased this a few days ago I immediately thought "Blade Runner" but I didn't realize why until you mentioned the billboard sign being from the movie!! Oh duh!! My subconscious knew even if I didn't .

[@chrisfox961]

That is a great build and will be really cool with Cyberpunk 2077 coming out this year.

[@perrygrosshans8537]

Awesome build! Those light up posters look amazing. I guess one could just use a wooden block or block of foam for the vending machine. :) Those miniatures are awesome. Glad to see you are running your 3d printer through its paces!!

[@michaelsloup3200]

That background music is dope!

[@ImSlayah]

The little spray of red to simulate light behind the sign is perfect

[@MahkyVmedia1]

That UV resin looks great

[@kayz-art]

With light effects it's always a good idea to use wrinkled aluminium foil to reflect the light. Makes the light even brighter and diffuses the light as well.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

But not needed here with lights this bright.

[@mbr5742]

Great Build. I can just hear Priss and the Replicants wailing Konya Wa Hurricane while in the background a Solos EMG-84 punches holes in some Booster gang

[@st4lsell123]

Normally i comment on your builds saying something like "awesome build" or very cool terrain! But i gotta say this is strait up impressive. Without a doubt

[@MadGoblinWorkshop]

Excellent results! EL Wire can be real hit or miss, very rarely have I seen ultra bright ones (which is a shame), good compromise with the LED strip though.

[@MinorLG]

I don't have a lot of experience with el, but red tends to be brighter. Probably same reason red LEDs were big for so long.

[@DanielAKA]

Excellent video! Love the subject matter and the execution on it.

[@RPArchiveOfficial]

This is a gorgeous piece, it's giving me a lot of inspiration for the future! I love the gritty, grimy feel you've achieved with the weathering and Graffiti, and the colour changing light effects really sell that 'cyberpunk' ambiance immediately. Top quality build, I love seeing these dioramas you create and the freedom it seems to offer you - you really seem to enjoy them and that comes through :)

[@x31omega]

Great diorama. 👍👍 The addition of small pieces of old paper blowing around and other bits of scattered trash would top it off and and just a bit more of detail. It looks super cool as is though.

[@richardarndt4291]

You should decorate the LED power supply so it looks like a water treatment pump or something like that, and hide the wire inside a straw to look like a pipe going into the building.

[@RPRsChannel]

Very nice. Imagine having 4-6 more of these and you'd have a great CP cityscape. For viewing or RPGs. A WTF from the past: Billy Idol released an album titled "Cyberpunk", 27 years ago, when Cyberpunk was at it's hight...or at the backend. Since then/ a few years before this release, we have expected VR to be a thing. It died and took a kid in 2013-14 to start it all up again.

[@wmwalden]

Wow. I'm jealous of your talent.
