Crafting the Ultimate WarCraft 3 Diorama: Orcs!

I craft another WarCraft 3 Diorama and design my own models with Fusion 360, Blender, 3d printing, Epoxy Resin and every other tool available. More complex, more fun, more Minis.

Hey mate, very rarely do I interact with videos by liking them or commenting, but I just had to make an exception to my norm. This was a brilliant video. Charming, fun, and genuinely made me laugh at the reforged/classic hammer @3:40. Keep doing what you're doing, this obviously had a lot of thought and care put into making, and your efforts do not go unappreciated! I've got the other two WarCraft 3 videos ready to watch while I eat my next meals, and I eagerly await your Night Elf diorama!

[@MiniQuest64]

Your message means a lot man! It really does :) Thank you for watching and breaking your norm! While it might take some time until the next release, I'll make sure to end this series with a banger!

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Yesssss!!! This is absolutely phenomenal! So many fun shots, and the end result is amazing. These make me so happy, keep goin keep goin!

[@MiniQuest64]

Thanks, Brent! Can't wait to start with the next one :D

[@lorecraftdesigns638]

you have become a legend sir, it is always lovely to see fans give love to the RTS era of Warcraft, like we do, we're sure you're a fan of old work like the rest of us, perhaps our project might bring some joyous nostalgia to you! cheers!

[@MiniQuest64]

I'll make sure to check your stuff out, thanks man =)

[@bibytom863]

Не ожидал такой детализации. Потрясающе. Наиболее удачно вышел сам рельеф и текстура земли, её цвет. А, вот, здания, кажутся слишком яркими, прямо как в игре)

[@CCMinis]

From one big hairy sweaty guy to another, amazing work Sergei! Can't wait for the next one

[@MiniQuest64]

Thanks bro, I'll try to keep sweating :D

[@Geordiecrafts]

This turned out so great Sergei!! Your editing just gets better and better with each video. Also super cool that you got designer Dave on to answer some questions 🙌 Although I'm a 5'5 woman, I feel like I'm a big hairy man in spirit so I can still appreciate this build 😂

[@MiniQuest64]

Well that makes me happy for sure Geordie :D

Dude! These dioramas makes me want to play warcraft 3 again!

[@MiniQuest64]

It's still a great game =)

@@MiniQuest64 Yes, indeed! :D

[@Vesdus]

I need to see a Warden in the next video. Maiev Shadowsong is one of my favourite Warcraft characters - I love her design!

[@Audon4150]

The battle of Hyjal would be INSANE! The 3 bases, undeads attacking and Archimonde at the tree! =0 So much work tho..

[@MiniQuest64]

Man, that would be awesome for sure! (And a guaranteed burnout :D)

[@Audon4150]

@@MiniQuest64 I cannot even begin to fathom the amount of work required. x) Maybe a collaboration project? :D Seems possible from where l’m standing; but of course, the collab' requires constant work and somewhere to work together on a daily basis.. There still are problems.. But hey. In case it becomes possible somehow, I think everyone would adore the project

[@MiniQuest64]

Thank you for this! I absolutely do think it would be possible, and I'm not afraid to work =) BUT after my latest video died so quickly, I am not sure anymore, if that's a video "worth" doing. Maybe some day after all the four races are done!

[@jabodetabek1337]

The romantic combo, Tyrande and Malfurion of course!

[@MiniQuest64]

Classic!

The shipwreck is such a great addition to the scene. I also love the collabs. Keep up the great work Sergei!! I love seeing the whole process and appreciate all the work you put into these videos. For the Horde!!!!

Thanks, Scott! I will try my best to keep it up =)

[@Novgord98]

For the next video: The blood elves carrying the vaults in lordaeron? Or maybe a series of mini dioramas one next to the other with key campaign moments?

[@MiniQuest64]

Night Elves base is next for sure =)

[@demonserver6451]

3/4 factions complete. I think Cenarius is ready to sprout some trees in 2024. Beautiful video as always.

[@mausolus8466]

Just four? I do hope for at least Nagas' base as well

[@MiniQuest64]

Maybe Grom will pay him a visit :D The battle with him was one of the best missions back then.

[@demonserver6451]

@@MiniQuest64 I agree! My favorite mission ever! Maybe after night elves you can do a chaos orc set :D

[@carkos98]

This makes me irrationally happy

[@xxtardelixxable]

"It's been 84 years" (Titanic meme) - BUT! worth the wait, this looks amazing. You set a tone for this Christmas so next one we expect 1m x 1m Arthas vs Illidan at the Frozen Throne diorama 😳. Amazing work!

Oh god what have I done :D

[@WolfyTheDark]

These videos have single-handedly ruined my recommendations. I hope that these builds continue to find success and make your other videos as popular for their great quality.

[@MiniQuest64]

Thank you for saying that =) I hope thats a good thing :D

@@MiniQuest64 I 3d model and do Warhammer stuff too. I grew up playing WC3. WC2 & 3's metalhead fantasy art style is peak fantasy aesthetic.

[@MiniQuest64]

Oh Wow! Do you share your work somewhere? Would love to take a look! Looking forward to your opinion of those two. And thanks for this lovely comment mate

I know she rides a cat but don’t forget about the GOAT that is Tyrande for the next video! Also great job! I adore watching these!!!

[@MiniQuest64]

Thanks man! How about a collapsing bridge, then ? :D Jokes aside, Tyrande plays a major role in the campaign, it will be hard to not include her.

Man seeing warcraft is so bitter sweet for me now.

[@MiniQuest64]

@@MiniQuest64 all that aside I really like the geometric style going on here and think you could create an actual tabletop in that style, it looks easy to paint while still having pretty strong details and features.

[@nakenmil]

Absolutely stunning work, MQ, you have such a light, witty style of editing, and an infectious enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your skills with us, and bringing to life some of our shared childhood. For the next video, I would of course love to see the trio of Tyrande, Malfurion and Illidan. But beyond that, maybe you could somehow add one of those Huntress owls to the top of a tree? You know, the ones that give you line of sight and detection? On a further note, I saw you displaying The Last Guardian by Jeff Grubb in the video. That book holds a special place in my heart. Lovely story.

[@MiniQuest64]

Thank you for your comment buddy, loved reading that =) Great Idea with the owl too. I was already thinking about clear blue resin for the wisps, but the owl sounds even more challenging! That book is amazing!! People like you make it worth to put in all the effort.

[@Naglareffe]

This has quickly become my most anticipated videos on the hobby. you are getting better and better on editing and script writting too !!!

They are going to be the biggest challenge for sure!

I would love to see a double map of illidin and the naga on 1 side with maiev and the night elves giving pursuit. Kinda like the start of the warden campaign where the naga are bashing up the ships. Maybe just with the night elves as a focus and a teaser of the nagas

[@TonyTorius]

Amazing as always. Nice to see a WarCraft 3 Diorama with the Orcish Horde arriving at Kalimdor. My brother and I played WarCraft 3, both the original (Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne) and the Reforged. Also, nice to hear We All Lift Together song from Warframe into the video. I'm eager for another diorama. This time, with the Night Elves and perhaps the Naga.

[@MiniQuest64]

This song stuck in my mind since Ueberdanger used it in his WOW series (btw. best videos I've ever watched). I'm so happy I could use it myself and scared at the same time because of copyright :D Thank you for your watch my friend!

The campaign was called "Eternity's End" so the tree would be very fitting! Archimonde on the other hand would kinda destroy the theme I was building for each ^^ Thanks man, Merry Christmas to you and your family too!

Это невероятная работа, Сергей! 10/10! Теперь с нетерпением жду ночных эльфов. К сожалению, это единственная фракция, которая мне не нравится с детства, но, в целом, увидеть Хранителя Рощи (Кенария) было бы очень здорово, как и охотника на демонов. К слову могу предложить идею, как вы могли бы использовать оставшиеся у вас здания Орды и, заодно, воссоздать оставшиеся здания Альянса - это совместить лагерь Альянса и Орды, как это было сделано в первой главе ночных эльфов, где нам по заданию нужно убить паладина Альянса (кажется, его звали сэр Львиное Сердце).

[@thehiddenheretic]

Love it. After 30 years, I'm still a massive Warcraft, and while WoW classic is a boon, I also want to see a new RTS. Also, and this isn't a major issue, the only improvement you could have made here was adding a lurking murloc in the resin haha.

[@MiniQuest64]

I thought about that a lot :D I mean I've made a Diorama dedicated to Murlocs back then. I look forward to the new Stormgate. I miss the old RTS games man... Battle Realms, Age of Empires, Dawn of War 1, StarCraft, Cossacks, Age of Mythology and so many more...

[@thehiddenheretic]

@MiniQuest64 Some of those are still on my go to games list, and whatever my modern PC can't run is kept on my windows 7 machine I keep as a time capsule rig nearby. Storm gate does look good and I'm trying to stay hopeful that it is as good as it sounds. Thanks again for the video, it was a lot of fun watching you create all of this and it sort of pokes at my own desires of making a diorama (not warcraft related but stil something im intrigued byl).

[@sigurdjensen195]

It's hard to choose with the Night elf Heroes. Tyrande and Malfurion are obvious, though Tyrande's model is hideous (her character is cool). I think Illidan is the most popular, but honestly, I think the design of the Warden and Maieve in general are just too cool to pass up. I'd love to see wisps, and I'm so excited to see how (or if) you handle them. You've gained a new subscriber, I'm excited to follow your future work!

[@MiniQuest64]

Thank you for watching, commenting and subscribing! You're awesome man! You are absolutely right about the Heroes, while they do not fit together on a single base (lore wise), each of them is so popular and iconic, that making a selection in general really feels like missing out. Maybe I can craft a secret mini diorama inside the diorama which contains some of them? I will figure something out, promise! Wisps on the other hand are an absolute must! Thinking of clear blue resin with some led's inside, that will look so awesome!
