Final Tour of My Science-Fiction DOLLHOUSE!! ⚓ And the Captain's Story

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Guess who messed up and clipped the shot of the 'Single Shoe' out of my video🤦‍♀🤦‍♀ It's 'JUST OFF CAMERA' in one of the shots which of course doesn't help because only I know where it is. My apologies! I will be adding it into the museum trip video!

[@nicolemarie8890]

WOW....am I the only giving a standing ovation in my living room lol....This has been and is just AMAZING! just WOW

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😊😊 Thank you Nicole! Your comment gave me a huge smile!

[@CHRISARIES]

I cannot undestand why the Hollywood industry still haven't hired this lady as a set designer. What a amazing job, Ara. A true miniature masterpiece.

[@ShweMyaukMyauk]

She’s great at miniatures but I think you underestimated the different skill sets for full size filming props and overestimated her skills.

[@miippi]

Perhaps because set design and miniatures require very different skills, and set design cannot take 4 years. Ara is very skilled at what she does, but that's not what Hollywood is for. She would have no control over what she does, no time to do the things we love to see, and no time to make any content for the people who watch her every week, and no possibility to keep up with her own store.

[@KarolinaPetursdottir]

Plus, we don't want them to take her away from us 😉

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol thank you!! I appreciate the compliment so much! They definitely would send me into a stress-out moment with those deadlines though 😄 I will stay here with you lovely patient people who let me take several years to do things!

[@patriciaanderson2649]

I have no doubt that Ara would be as skilled in set design as she is with miniatures if that's what she chose to do...lucky for us she chose miniatures!!!

[@mrscb5303]

Oh wow I am mesmerized by this project. Just wow!! Amazing to see it all done. I think Netflix should call you to make a limited series based on the story.. I’d love it!! Thank you for all you share with us, I appreciate how much more work that adds to your project, so thank you!!🧡🖤🧡

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!! It would be so fun to see as a series but I am not sure I have the talent to write an entire series lol! Thank you for the awesome compliment😊

[@treesnl]

Watching this come together bit by bit over the years, it's easy to forget the astonishing level of detail you've put into this piece. Amazing work!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Tracy! I was truly surprised as well as I was going through some of the videos from the past years. Time flies when you are having fun lol!

[@debireitknecht6302]

Congratulation Ms. Bentley, another amazing project! I truly enjoyed watching you create this magnificent ship. Thank you for your wonderful imagination come to life.😇

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much!! This was a fun video to put together and truly let my mind have fun with the science fiction aspect!😄

[@lateciamadethis]

I watched the process, but seeing it in this context I am stunned by the amount of detail. Small things - I mean, it’s all small, but - the minutia of detail - is the physical manifestation of more than the hours of work, but the creativity of mind that you possess. Recreation of a scene is something of extraordinary talent, but this is *your* work, and it is glorious.

[@craft-o-matic399]

Totally agree! It's a pure joy following Ara's work here on her channel! Thank you so much Ara! Lisa

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Wow thank you for this amazing comment😊❤ It truly means so much to me! The details were such a joy for this one!

[@jennylawson1980]

Ara, everything about this build, from idea to visualization to creation, is an amazing feat. Congratulations on a job well done and a fantastic result 😊

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much Jenny!😀

[@grammyspa-jammies1737]

Your Addams Family House was wonderful. But the Captain's Quarters is genuinely amazing. I have enjoyed the entire process and have had my mind blown watching how you have created each and every part. You and your work are someone and something I aspire to. Fantastic! 💕💕💕

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much! That means so much to me that you enjoyed an 'original concept' project as much as a pop culture reference project. I appreciate it😊😊

This project is brilliant and the story is so very good! I love it all! You need to write a book based on this character! It would be a best seller!

Thank you Alicia!! I am so glad you liked it so much! I don't know if I have the talent to write a whole book but I do love these short stories. It's such a great compliment that you would want to read more!😊

[@helenakhudyna2360]

This is insane! I started watching your channel from the video on staircase, because I was intrigued with this idea to use the wooden fan to get such intricate cast iron-like stairs... and now it's complete way beyond the original plan... I'm kind of curious to see the emotions of people who follows along since the Addams Family mansion!

[@pamelamorgan2866]

Very cool! I like the back story too.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!! Yay!

[@justinanovak8040]

I think this is my favorite large project of yours because it’s not based off a movie but your imagination and creativity… though many of your other smaller are too. You allowed it a life of its own. ❤

[@joang.cavanna2046]

I just finished watching all the Captain's Quarters videos. I am absolutely amazed at all you did, all the time your spent, and the absolute precision with which you work. The finished project is beautiful, so elegant and detailed. It's astounding! Congratulations on finishing your project and on having it displayed in a museum. What an honor! Thank you for sharing.

[@SandiHanna-s6b]

This is so awesome to see. There are so many details and we watched you craft them all. As the camera goes through each room it's like visiting old friends. Wonderful job! I love watching your videos and projects. You inspired me to start working on a dollhouse/castle of my own. Thank you so much. You are one of my favorite creators. 😊

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That's wonderful!! I am so glad you have started on your own creative journey! Thank you for your kind words😊 I am so glad you liked the tour!

[@SabakuNoShi]

I love this project. Before I started to watch this series of videos, I never thought you can combine something old and futuristic so well, to create one, such an amazing place. I'm still waiting for more and more projects and stories, because I always find it interesting and relaxing to visit your channel! Also, one more time, huge thanks for including few pieces from me. I feel honored you chose my clock for this project. It gave me a lot of fun to watch in inside of quarter 🤩

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!! I really didn't know how well the past and future would work together either but I am so glad you like the results! And thank you for sending your beautiful items for me to use. The worked perfectly for this!

[@SabakuNoShi]

@@BentleyHouseMinis You're very welcome. Honestly, I'm always waiting for a new video from you and every friday I get excited [maybe even bit to much haha] 😉 Sadly I forgot to send captain's trophy [it's really tiny and somehow it just left on my shelf, but I'll make sure to include it very soon for next delivery]. 🙃 It's to late for the trip to museum but I want you to have it any way 😊

[@FranMiniCrafter]

Oh. Just Oh! So many wonder-filled answers to the anticipation of this "final" chapter! As we toured the ship I found myself thinking, "I watched Ara make that. I know what it's made of. I would never have guessed!". Thanks for sharing the journey!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Fran!! Yes there are so many times that I think.... what would a pile of all these scrap materials look like lol! Just a bunch of foam and matboard😄 I am so glad you liked it!! And again, thank you for contributing!

[@afroborilafemme]

This is such a beautiful story for the Captain and Ba’reth! I know your channel probably got most of its notoriety from the Addams Family project, but I found you while binging Jazza’s content when I came across his channel take over series. And while I do love the nostalgia connected to the Addams Family and Beetle Juice projects, it’s so wonderful to see your original creation on a larger scale like the Captains Quarters. I hope whatever comes next to take you that big empty space is another Ara Original. ❤

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Each step and new creation has been so fun to see this channel grow. And I have to say I am truly honored that something that came out of my brain would have such a place among pop culture references like the Addams and Beetlejuice... both terrific stories with an amazing history of creators behind them. Thank you for your comment and continued support!

[@afroborilafemme]

@@BentleyHouseMinis I love your art in all forms.

[@jimenaa6260]

Wow, great job. And the story makes the miniature even more interesting.
