Building Minas Tirith in 24 Hours?

[@Zorpazorp]

DUUUUDE this is an awesome video man, you've nailed it and I loved watching your journey!

[@KnightsOfDice]

Glad you enjoyed it! Not sure I want to do it again, but who am I kidding ... I went to bed at 5:30am this morning, got up at 10am and as I type this at midnight, I'd happily start a 24 hour challenge right now!! LUNATIC ALERT!!

[@Zorpazorp]

@@KnightsOfDice HAHAHAHA indeed! Time to exploit your lunacy for further collabs!

[@EricsHobbyWorkshop]

These kits are beautiful! I will have to pick some up when my space is fully set up. I also like measuring time in LOTR runtimes

[@KnightsOfDice]

Thanks mate. Really enjoy watching your builds, super inspirational! Thanks for popping in and taking some time to comment, much appreciated

[@Zorpazorp]

haha it's a legit metric of time

[@memedaddy6932]

I came here after watching Zorpazorps video and I must say that I was shocked by the quality you have managed to achieve when your models where revealed. Amazingly done!

[@nazteeb]

Same here. Gorgeous models and incredible achievement to get them done in the time you had!

[@KnightsOfDice]

Thanks for popping past! I really would have liked to spend more time painting, but I just couldn't. They worked out well, but could be so much better. I don't actually have a painted set for the studio so now I get that chance, but this time I'll have the luxury of a little more time :)

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Woooo!!!! Congratulations, this block of cityscape turned out really cool. These buildings are really perfect for minas tirith. Nice efficient strategy for getting them painted too, I enjoyed the bit where you just started spraying wash through your airbrush :-)

[@KnightsOfDice]

Love your channel mate, thanks for taking the time to comment. I made way more sense to just spray it, it also had a very different effect than using a brush which I really liked!

[@Zorpazorp]

On ya goobs

[@darthrevan6544]

I have to give him props for such a large assembly by himself with assembly, paint, and dry brush. To you my good man for a job well done.

[@Miscast]

Hahahahha, Lachie calling in the big guns!

[@KnightsOfDice]

It was a great project! Keen and not keen to do another one, hehe.

[@Zorpazorp]

yeah boyyyyyyyyyyy

[@MrErtsatz]

You're a freakin champion, Viv. This is just incredible.

[@KnightsOfDice]

I'm a freakin idiot you mean. Starting that on 2 hours sleep was crazy ... but I loved it!!

[@euansmith3699]

That's a great tabletopful of terrain. Really impressive work.

[@KnightsOfDice]

Can't wait to travel up to Queensland next year and get involved in the battle and see them in action!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Love watching people go slightly mad with sleep deprivation. Nice work mate.

[@terrainaholic]

Man dose this bring back MEMORIES!!!!!!! God I miss you Buddy!!!!! I use to LIVE for builds like this!!!! Now I'm working 50 hour work weeks but MAN That was SO MUCH FUN to do terrain builds over the weekend with you!!!! I'm in the process of setting up a 6 foot by 18 foot table in my basement that will have all of my hell terrain on it. hopefully this weekend if I'm lucky. Just subbed Take care Big Guy and GLAD to see you doing well!!!!!

[@MSPaints]

You absolute chief! Lovely stuff dude. That boy's gonna regret this project when he realises he's gotta put em all somewhere!

[@KnightsOfDice]

Hahah ... he wants 16 metres of perimeter wall! Gonna be crazy to watch!

[@amsfountain8792]

Fantastic job. They look great!

[@KnightsOfDice]

Thanks mate!

[@modelsfromscratch]

You're kidding me. That was a marathon of epic proportions. Top job - makes me ashamed of how long my kits have sat on the workbench!

[@snieves4]

Ditto 8(

[@KnightsOfDice]

Hahaha, no need to rush through things! I have so many unpainted/unassembled kits laying around ... it's a hobby, take the time and enjoy it when it feels right to enjoy it!

[@modelsfromscratch]

@@KnightsOfDice yeah, good point. 😉 But there is a point where I need to focus and get projects done!

[@harazhangf5782]

That is an impressive feat you pulled. Well played !!! And those kits are gorgeous.

An absolute EPIC effort mate. They look awesome 👌 👏

Love the channel mate. I haven't tuned in for a few weeks, I should drop past and see what you've been up to!

[@EntmootVideos]

@@KnightsOfDice thanks man! It’s been a quiet few weeks! I’ve been working on something though 😬

[@fleboy8618]

What a monster project, well done!!! The buildings look awesome! Any chance of sharing your wash receipe?

[@KnightsOfDice]

For this one, I think it was black pigment (it's called tint, it's usually added to the large paint cans in little drops), thinned with water and isopropyl

[@Ariocsneedle]

Wow this is awesome. I have several of your buildings and made notes on your painting. I will look at your other videos to get ideas on the spraying stages. Cheers

Epic result, I am seriously impressed!

Thanks mate ... I club build and paint day would be amazing!

[@ryankoops1455]

Awesome to see you team up with Zorpazorp!!! These vids are inspiring me to make more terrain

Do it! There is so much cool inspirational stuff around these days!

[@Andulvar]

For MDF terrain those are really nice. Going to have pick some up one of these days.

[@bresdraiocht4635]

Insane build! Looks great!

[@Bobdd0]

Great work! These are functional, fun and fantastic pieces!

[@KnightsOfDice]

Glad you like them!

[@PlasticraicGaming]

Christ on a bicycle those builds look sweet. This challenge reminds me of the 2-3 day terrain building blitzes back in the battlebunker days on the old channel. Cracking work as always Viv. Looking forward to seeing the bat rep, it's measuring up to be epic.

[@KnightsOfDice]

Haha ... I don't think I slept at all during those days!

[@elstonation]

Phenomenal effort there dude. Some epic results for such a short period of time. Welcome to the speed painters world where sleep is a luxury :-D

[@KnightsOfDice]

Thanks Elston. I love a good speed painting session or 24 hour challenge! I only sleep a few hours a night at the moment and regularly work at the studio for periods exceeding 24 hours so jumping balls in after a few hours sleep is my idea of fun!

Did you say studio tours? You’re in west Heidelberg Vic? I’ll have to swing by sometime!

[@KnightsOfDice]

Feel free to get in touch anytime. The studio is not open during normal hours at the moment, only by appointment.

[@AzraelThanatos]

You know, with the parts issue you were having, a lot of that can be solved by spreading a black plastic trashbag under the work area, it doesn't bounce as much and makes it very easy to find parts

[@KnightsOfDice]

Hey! Let's not bring logic and good ideas into this, okay! :D

[@tylernilson7021]

great job

[@DavesMiniMenagerie]

F in the chat for your body clock. Nice work though mate, they look great in behind the walls, its all coming together

[@KnightsOfDice]

I have no body clock ... well, I probably have one that doesn't really operate like a clock. Kind of like an old wall mounted swatch watch I had as a kid that would be slow one day and fast the next!

[@nicholasmccurdy383]

Is there a place to pick up the templates for these? I see where you sell the mdf buildings but I’d pay for a set of just templates like Zorbazorb has.

[@KnightsOfDice]

Thanks for watching. No templates available sadly. :(

[@roberttreble2690]

So Vivi do you have a siege tower mdf model? Perhaps you could design one just a thought... awesome effort.

[@KnightsOfDice]

Not at the moment, it is on the list along with a redesigned version of the city walls from the Na'Sain range that match the aesthetics of the Elaria range

[@sirdrakey]

The extended or the theater release?

[@KnightsOfDice]

hrmm, that was playing on Netflix so probably the theatre edition

[@sirdrakey]

@@KnightsOfDice ah okay I figured since you said you only did a couple 2 hours sounded right.

[@Bluecho4]

I guess it's a good thing the event itself got canceled. I mean it's not good that it got canceled. Lots of people disappointed. Lots of crunch, for nothing. And obviously Covid. But if there's one silver lining, the event being canceled means it didn't matter that it took longer to complete this part of the project. Look forward to seeing the whole thing in action, whenever it ends up happening. Good work, man. You did all you could under the circumstances.

[@arnolfostandolfi9730]

it's a great project and a really enjoyable one! don't get this as a personal attack, but as a comunity we should stop doing 24 h challenges or rush progects, it's a toxic concept for the comunity, it's what is happening in the work ethics too, everything must be rushed, and as a hobby we should not promote this attitude, it's ok to speedpaint and organize projects to be as efficient as u can, but pls sleep, take rests, use a week if necessary but don't teach new hobbyist to rush projects

[@arnolfostandolfi9730]

that said, WELL DONE! awesome build and paint session!
