Nothing 's boring in the Bentley House Minis world ❤

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😊😊 Thank you!

[@n2wabbit]

Nothing you do is boring; I just sit here watching with my mouth open watching your artwork in action.

[@rheamcdowell3498]

@n2wabbit I agree

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😊😊 Thank you!

[@CassandrajustCassandra]

You got so much done and it looks so Delia. It's not at all boring to me, you teach us so many things, and your knowledge and training are invaluable for those of us who build from scratch. Please do be kind to yourself Ara, we need you. Happy Beetlegust!!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😊😊 Thank you so much for that! I feel like we are all learning together as I have never build anything this large from scratch either! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@minb1217]

I agree with everyone else who’s commented - nothing you do is boring! Fascinating is more like it. The house is coming along beautifully and I’m looking forward to the next weeks 🙂

[@industrialtumbleweed3849]

Wow, the flooring and walls are really bringing the whole thing together. This isn’t boring, it is the base for everything. Happy Beetlegust!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you! It felt boring on my end because I keep thinking of all the fun things coming that I would rather be working on lol! But these were definitely all important in moving things forward! Thank you!!😊

[@katgriffin52]

I loved watching this video! I learned a lot from it as I usually do. I didn't find anything boring about it, and I am so excited to see your progress!! I can't wait until next time!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😊Thank you so much Kat!! I always worry that the building videos will be boring because its just flat walls and floors but I am so glad you still enjoyed it!

[@JDtheBlackPhoenix]

The "crap" look you give at 28:55 is the best, cause we have all been there. I almost want to turn you into a meme, it's great.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😄😄 meme away! I am sure it will come in handy for all crafters for those moments lol!

[@kathysausen6493]

Omg heyyyy the spoon!! That’s funny!😂🤣

[@flaivormorwayni4208]

No it's not boring more videos like this are a must

[@aericab23]

I’ve always loved watching miniature builds , but when I stumbled across your page i immediately fell in love with your work , so much so it inspired me to start making miniatures myself. Your delivery & methods of the videos gave me the confidence to start. Nothing you do is boring , can never get enough of your videos.❤️

[@teddybeeandme]

Hurrah for Beetlegust 💚 (well every BHM project really 😊) love Stormy's summer look.

[@CornucopiaOFmadness]

What a trippy floor pattern. I didn't even noticed this in the movie 😅 Crazy that you found the spoon after all this time 🤯🥳

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

It is!! I am not sure I could walk on it without getting dizzy😄

[@e.d.t.]

To me the structural stuff IS the fun stuff. So cool to see this coming together. I haven't seen this movie in a few years but I watched it a ton when I was little, and there are so many floor and wall design details I never noticed or thought much about until you make them in miniature.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

It is hard to take in all the details from this house and the movie! Especially since it doesn't always fit together in the real world lol! I am so glad you enjoy these parts along with the more fun and flashy miniatures. The foundation is super important to any project!😊 Thank you!

[@TheAshesvondust]

Beetlegust is one of those things that I absolutely cannot wait to see finished but also never want it to end xD Stormy is always so enthusiastic, I love her :)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😄Yay! thank you! She is definitely my cheerleader during the day🐶

[@SabakuNoShi]

I came bit to late for the premiere today ... 😶 Any way - You did so many things already and much more awaiting, but I'm sure you can do it ☺ Please just don't overdo. You need moments to rest a bit as well, because brain and body needs a time to load batteries 😉 By the way - I'm in love with into 😀 Can't wait for next videos. I'm always waiting to see new things from you. I love to watch your uploads at the evening when it's my time to rest and relax 😚

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I will definitely make sure to take breaks here and there! I think I have planned out a pretty do-able video schedule but I will be honest with myself if it gets too difficult ;) The intro was made by my friend Brad and he does amazing animations! I always love when I get to play it during Beetlegust! Thank you😊

[@SabakuNoShi]

@@BentleyHouseMinis Break are important. Not only for your health but also for creating process itself - freshly loaded batteries are always working better hehe 😀 I'm always curious of your new videos, BUT I can wait 🙂 Definitley very talented this friend of yours! ☺

[@tinykeyholeminis]

Fantaaaastiic Ara, I had to take a break to watch, you are probably really glad that grunt work is over😂 I'm excited to see what's to come! Will you be making Barbara and Adam..in one of their scare tactics, dry and brittle or as themselves? See ya soon!😊❤

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Haha yes I am very glad to have these steps completed so I can move onto a few more fun things! ;) I will just be making 'plain' Adam and Barbara this time around😄 They have too many forms to keep up with!

[@ruthkaiser6168]

Ara, you are so creative and amazing. I love watching you figuring what to do next. I can feel you thinking. You are so delightful. You know everything is going to be okay. The house is wonderful. Delia I believe approves. Your opening to your videos is awesome, I love it. See you later. Stormies summer cut is so cute. She is a very good girl. Bye 💜😊💜

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much Ruth! It is a very think and plan as I go most days lol! I am so happy I can bring you all along with me on this adventure😊

[@miippi]

My favorite month of the year is here. Beetlegust. How did I survive 31 years without knowing this gem, I will never know.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

🎉🎉Hooray! Working on the next one already😊

[@emmaleehudgins6140]

I don't think it was boring at all! It's looking more and more like a house 😃 it's making it all real! I laughed really hard at your reaction to finding the missing window... and I laugh because I feel like I have the same face sometimes ❤

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Haha yep... usually I just make that face for myself but the camera happened to be on for that moment of realization lol! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

[@jennylawson1980]

I love Beetlegust so much I never want the month to end. Beetlejuice is such a wonderful movie and seeing it come alive from your perspective is absolutely amazing ❤ Your awesome Ara!!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Jenny! Maybe next year I can do a double Beetle-gust month or something like that! 😊

[@mrscb5303]

Doing a happy dance, I’ve love all your videos but I have a special place in my little black heart 🖤 for the beetlejuice house. Maybe it was because this is the first project I was here for from the start and it’s a big time favorite movie of mine! I have never made a miniature and probably won’t but I am so fascinated, entertained and charmed by you and your work!! It’s never boring and you make me feel like I could do it (assuming my arthritis would magically go away😝). Thank you for hours upon hours of happiness 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so happy to hear that! And thank you for being here for so long and enjoying this project along with me! I am also happy to hear my videos are very followable. My goal is for people to be able to do this if they really want to!😊

[@ElaineBakerCreepyCaboodle]

The detail in this is amazing and trust me, it's not boring, it's educational. I've learned so much through watching your videos so no more mention of the"b" word 😉😁 Can't wait for the next one👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😄😄 Lol ok I promise! No more 'b' word! Thank you Elaine!

I love watching the construction parts! Everything is coming together in such a lovely way. And thanks for keeping the oops! Mistakes! And working out the solution, that always helps. Love the door design and the print came out great. Ha! The missing spoon! 😆

[@cheryltucker6589]

Look out! Ara's back with Beetlegust-itis! Made my day 😊

[@signaltome]

It is here! Beetlegust is upon us and the fun can begin. It is not good to put ALL my faith in the Captains Quarters. Also it will be FINISHED eventually so it is important to get exited for new projects. Which I am! 😀 Stormy is back to work I see, and yet she ovelooked the fact about the window. I guess it is hard to remember everything the first week after vacation time eh? 😉Anyway, putting her in charge of the windows is a good idea, splitting the workload always helps. 😛 With all the walls in place for the first floor the house is finally beginning to take shape and all that planning begins to bear fruit. Looking forward to how this will develope during this important months videos. Good job!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol! Yes and she has a bit of a height disadvantage so she can't always catch all of my mistakes before I make them😄 I am so glad you are starting to like the Beetlejuice house along with the Captains Quarters. It's a little bitter sweet when projects like that come to an end!

[@Mtthyman]

Beetlegust is BACK!!! So excited!! ♥️♥️

[@rheamcdowell3498]

This was NOT boring. I loved every moment of this video. I'm sad I don't have another new one to watch. When I saw the notification, I got giddy like a kid on Christmas morning. I can watch your videos ALL day long. Oh, one more thing. You can reuse the supports from the door as gribblees in the Captains Quarters.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Rhea! I wish I could work that fast and make that many videos lol!! I will see if I can find a place to use them, they are pretty cool looking!

This is coming along absolutely beautifully! So excited for Beetlegust! It's even more fun knowing that Tim Burton's working on Beetlejuice 2 now as these videos come out :)

I am excited for that too! I really wonder what kind of 'look' the house is going to get for this upcoming movie!

Prep work is so important. Prep work is boring but needed. I'm creating a 1:48 village. Friends keep asking me, "Is it done yet?" LOL

So true! Lol! Maybe invite them to come help and they will see why things take so long 😉😄

[@dawsie]

I have been saving this episode for my long drive recovery time always sleep for 12 hours after I get home and then lay in bed watching KZbin 😹😹 It’s not boring at all, specially as you had a few woopsies I missed something again 😹😹, it’s so funny I lay here in bed buried in cats, watching trying to get your attention on the window grid telling you stop stop you need to paint it first😹😹😹 the cats giving me funny looks 😹😹why on earth do we think that calling out to you in the screen your going to hear any of us😹😹😹but I’m sure I’m not the only one who was trying to get your attention at the input of the plastic grid going in😹😹 The house is coming along nicely I just was not expecting the stairs to be so steep 😹😹 looking forward to the next episode 🤗🤗🤗

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Haha I appreciate you trying to help me out even though I couldn't here you! At least the cats were entertained😄 Yes the stairs are very steep but that will help me fit everything into this space... other wise the living room would have to be twice as deep lol!

[@Swirlingflame]

I honestly love watching you do the basics, it's very informative and relaxing :)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I'm so glad to hear that!😊

[@maxpacker2372]

I too find life is too short for pairing socks 😂. Love the video and I don't think it was boring at all. I like this stage just as much as the interior decorating. Maybe not as exciting for you. God bless. Max

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

haha yep! I haven't matched socks since I was a teen and I have passed it down to my children😄 Thank you Max!

[@inkedenvy4205]

This is my 3rd Beetlegust!!! My favorite time of year! Edit: omg you found a spider in your model just like the movie!

Are you leaving space in the ceiling for wiring for lights? Wouldn't want you to get to far and not make sure you've got space to run lighting to where you need in the ceiling Great progress. Looking amazing. It's really coming together. Look forward to the rest of the month

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Yes, part of my layering process is leaving room for all of the wiring to attach ;) Fingers crossed it works lol!! Thank you so much Kevin!

[@craft-o-matic399]

A flex curve is a handy tool. I have had mine since my days as a band director. I used it to design my band's corp style curvilinear marching band drills. I love Beetlegust!!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I used to be in marching band and stood in some of those curves lol! (And attempted to walk in them too😄)

[@PhilWolf]

Oh man! I am so excited for Beetlegust! And seeing glimps of the filming for Beetlejuice 2 poking up here and there just got me even more excited for Beetlegust! You say it's mostly boring processes, but I have to argue that. I think it's super interesting to see your problem solving and how you approach everything! Also, can we take a moment and talk about how much impact the process made? It's crazy how much of a difference it makes to see all the walls come up for the first floor! Super exciting! Keep up the great work! Looking forward to see the next videos!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Phil! I have been excited about seeing bits on the movie too! I am really interested in seeing what they do with the house and what the new story line will be. I hope they stick with the original fun cooky vibe. It is definitely weird to see the house with it's front walls up!

[@michelleg1342]

It’s the most wonderful time in miniatures!! 😊

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

🥳🥳 Whoo hoo!

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

I love that you are using 3D printed parts in the house, I love my 3D FDM printer and use it quite a bit, but sometimes worry that my projects are not all hand made, but I get over that pretty quickly as I still need to design the parts to print 😂

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I know that feeling! But I have decided that I would rather spend my time making original hand crafted miniature of the one-of-a-kind things and leave the MANY duplicate doors and windows to the printer lol! That's how I look at it. And you are right that the design part still makes it original art in my opinion!

[@fxsmdlp]

one thing to pay attention is the translucency of PLA printed parts, especially doors in lit models. I noticed different brands of plain white PLA having different opacity. Unless additionally coated, consider increasing infill or number of top/bottom layers to avoid unnecessary light spill.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Oh thank you for that thought! I really hadn't even processed that thought but I will be making sure to check as I add the finishes! I appreciate it!

[@ZoeShears]

Yay beetlegust, love the opening with the music and green lights. I am loving how this is coming together it's really starting to take shape and it looks amazing. I can't wait to see what you do next and nope wasn't boring it was interesting.

[@dougsundseth6904]

Since I think you indicated interest in the past, I thought it might be worth be worth mentioning that there's a very big miniatures painting convention in Denton (ReaperCon, which is at Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center), Thursday through Sunday of Labor Day Weekend. Lots of painting and sculpting classes plus a miniatures painting contest that's one of the best in the world. Plus an interesting vendor area. If you do go, I'd recommend talking to the people sitting on Artists' Row. They're the people teaching multiple classes and they're pretty much all really nice folks.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I have heard of ReaperCon before and I would love to go some year! I just need to get it on my radar earlier in the year so I can make sure to block out time for it. Thanks for the reminder!
