Screaming acrylic sounds like a pretty dope band name haha! This build turned out awesome!🙌

[@BPCustomCreations]

So true! 😂 Thanks man 👍

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Looks awesome! Like that you not only 3d printed actual parts but also a jig to solder together the LEDs. A 3d printer is so valuable to have as a modeller. 😊

[@BPCustomCreations]

It really is! It's one of my favorite tools to have for any task.

[@ConjuredCraft]

That landing pad came out so fresh, amazing work.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you!!

[@SnoddiesHobbies]

That landing pad is awesome, and you did it without a laser cutter is inspiring. I always see folks who work with acrylic throw it in a laser cutter.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you! It took a long time and was so nerve wracking 😂

[@lesimages3dclic]

Okay, I have to confess, that is my favorite ever, it brings me back to my childhood when I dreamed of having such a cool toy to imagine science fiction stories!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much

[@lofiworkshop]

Another beautiful building for your cyberpunk city. I love that landing pad, absolute genius. Excellent work!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you! It's coming along

[@bradcraig6676]

That landing pad is fire!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you!

[@TheThunderinghammer]

That lighting effect is so awesome, I am amazed this is the first time i've seen it

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks! I'm sure it's been done before though I haven't seen it personally either 🤔🤔🤔

[@emilnord]

Looks so good. Really love the lights on the landing pad. Really awesome part of this diorama. For the next one, we need a building with some flicking lights. Great work on this one.

[@BPCustomCreations]

True! I'm planning on adding more lights in the final steps when all the structures are in place 👍👍

[@chasonlapointe]

Fantastic build, you'd make a killer terrain maker for tabletop miniatures!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you! I am pretty close to that youtube niche but I don't play any games so I use the same skills to just make diorama

[@geoffersongeofferies477]

As always, great stuff Ben. I’m sticking around for the whole series.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Awesome! This landing pad needs a vehicle 🤔

[@ScaleModelGeek]

Great build. Came up well and I love the lit landing pad. It's given me an idea.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Awesome! I'm glad I could pass on some inspiration

[@JeremyD986]

As a custom model maker myself, I am envious of your skills and creativity! Awesome work, amazing talent, incredible creativity!

[@BPCustomCreations]

You're too kind!

[@kadenjay6207]

Your videos are amazing inspiration for my own venture into the world of Cyberpunk Combat Zone terrain building

[@BPCustomCreations]

Awesome! I love to hear that

[@cerisekappes580]

Awesome awesome addition to the diorama!!! The detailing and lighting really pull the building together ❤😊❤

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks! I need to plan for the rest of the structures now

[@marklindsey4112]

Love the manual scoring on the landing pad. It's inspiring to see a smart, low tech, hand done solution to something that would usually be made using a laser cutter. I am thoroughly enjoying this cyberpunk series. Can't wait to see what's coming next.

[@BPCustomCreations]

I like figuring out problems! Dont get me wrong though, I'd use a laser if I had one 😅

[@oisinholz]

Very cool idea! Love seeing unique things like this!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you! Almost all of what I've made on the channel is original ideas

[@PKTCrafts]

Awesome stuff man! That landing pad looks so cool!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Cheers! I'm glad I kept the building low for this

[@parti5t]

There is so much technical/creative wizardry going on here I don't even know where to begin. Just incredible work!!!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Too kind! Thank you

[@CCMinis]

So so so dope!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks Nick! It needs a vehicle next

[@KensToyz]

Excellent work! Videos like this inspire and teach. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you for the kind comment 😊

[@jchayes7325]

Another great build is always my friend I really enjoy your channel my friend and keep up the good work and God bless my friend

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks JC! 😁👍

[@proto.roborovski]

Love your builds, keep em coming!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you! Will do 👍

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

Looks amazing! Instant fan.

Hey thank you!

[@yayasgaragecustomdiecast7198]

Very cool!

[@jacobroberts1434]

So awesome!!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you!

[@Matt-md5yt]

this is awesome

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks Matt!

[@daneself858]

😲🔥🔥 awesome

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks buddy!

Nice work dude 🧡🧡

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thank you! 😊

Hey BP! On your LEDs, the resistor isnt just about dropping voltage, but limiting current. This kind of resistor arenagement is called "ballast" - and its basically the electrical equivalent of sandbags on a hot air balloon, it prevents the LED from soaring too fast in the circuit. The resistor value for your circuit is ~0 ohms because your power source is technically insufficient to drive those LEDs, so given alkaline batteries youre _probably_ fine - but performance will probably be sub-optimal (in this case, probably meaningless - just a technical distinction). To improve the performance of this circuit, you need to find the "voltage drop" or "forward voltage" for the LEDs and use at least that many volts (taking into account that voltage in batteries decreases as they lose charge) these white leds are like 3.2-3.4V, higher than the 3V input. This means the LEDs will be sucking on those batteries like a toddler on a near empty juice box, which if you were using lithium batteries could have spicy results. Adding a third AA battery would give you enough voltage, but you'd need a 68ohm (or thereabouts, mathematical optimum is 68ohm for a perfect 4.5V input) resistor for EACH LED. I thought it was worth mentioning - as your voiceover seemed to indicate an incomplete understanding of the reason for not using resistors, which I appreciate may have been for brevity - analogue electronics being as dry a topic as it is. Anyway, on the build. I cannot believe how freaking tidy your etched plexi looked. I'd never have even attempted that without a laser. Mega kudos. The edge illumination is genius, and your use of those train parts is going straight in my toolbox for later use. Great build, truly. It's all coming along wonderfully!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Awesome comment and thanks for the detailed info! You're half right about my rationale. I know current could have been handled properly with resistors and I also figured I didn't care for this application with such low use and low stakes. The thing I don't have is the patience or proper parts to make the perfect circuit 😅

💯

[@TheMichaellathrop]

You could always partially paint some of the metal to make it look weathered, or add some graffiti

[@BPCustomCreations]

That's a good idea 👍

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Love it! Two things, first, where can I get that cool stencil? And second, would sanding the stencil area with fine sandpaper produce the same results?

[@BPCustomCreations]

Thanks! I don't know where I got it from. I can't find the order anywhere. If you search for a panel line scribing stencil you should be able to find something. This one is called "cormake" brand. I don't think sanding would work well at all and it would sand the stencil itself

[@bobbybologna3029]

Hey! BP! You stole my design! "LEDs ⤵"

[@BPCustomCreations]

It's mine now!

[@MemeCopium]

Is that little solider from destiny 2?

[@BPCustomCreations]

could be where from I got it

[@Parallax2814]

What percentage of this build would you say was 3D printed?

[@BPCustomCreations]

3.5%

[@Parallax2814]

Are you sure 13% of the build wasn’t 3D printed by 50% of your printers?

[@RalphGrella]

When he cut the clear plastic, what did you hear? "This sound makes me..." what? I don't I heard what I think I heard

[@BPCustomCreations]

Makes me laugh. The acrylic kind of screeches

[@Hamentsios10]

Wait, that's not gartic phone!

[@BPCustomCreations]

I should make a garlic phone haha

[@meganperkins4367]

Mention at least where from you copied the design bro

[@BPCustomCreations]

Joke's on you. The whole video is AI generated

[@meganperkins4367]

@@BPCustomCreations I knew it! Needs more AI narration like the Inaka Adventure channel
