First Custom 1/12 Scale Scratch Built Diorama!

Hello peoples!
Today I am here to show you my very own custom 1/12 scale diorama built from scratch. It was so much fun to make, and shockingly easy too. I hope you enjoy it and can see all the wonderful possibilities for playing with and displaying your musume kits or figures.
If you like this stuff and want to see more videos on it or in particular videos on how to make it from start to finish, let me know and I will be happy to share everything I know and have learned.
Stay creative and cozy my friends.
Mr.Spriken

Wow, that’s a really generous and kind comment. Thank you so much! 🐤

Lol, no problem, he was a legend!

[@emilflognoid1532]

Never seen your channel before, but I can’t hardly believe this was your first diorama, it’s amazing! Good job bro! I’m in the preliminary phase of a diorama… it’ll be a little different… but this gave me some great inspiration so thank you so much!

[@MrSpriken]

@@emilflognoid1532 he sure was!

[@MrSpriken]

@@emilflognoid1532 thank you so much. I truly believe anyone can do it will a little time and patience and the right supplies. I’m sure yours will turn out great. Feel free to share your work when it’s done if you like 🐤

[@MrSpriken]

Haha cool! I loved fievel goes west, the rescuers down under, all Disney movies. I consumed everything pretty much. Let all these things influence your creative works

Thanks for the nice comment 🐤 I really appreciate it

[@Xelinea]

Truly a piece of art. I would paint over the magnets tho. I always make a wall/dio at the back... even more options :D

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you kindly! 🐣

[@187umkillah]

This came out perfectly for your 1st attempt... gonna be hard to do your second one since you nailed it 1st go round lol

You’re too kind! You would be amazed how easy it can be and how quickly you can grow and improve. You can do it too! 🐤

You did great 👍

Thank you so much! I appreciate that. I’ve leveled up a bit since this one but I will always think fondly of it 🐤 thanks for watching and for the kind comment

[@saberwolfcreations631]

Another wonderful Project! What really sells it, is just the insane amount of detail you put into it! If someone would show me pictures of this, Id probably mistaken this dio for a real backyard! Very very impressive! Id love to see more stuff like that!

You should look into building fingerboard spots

[@MrSpriken]

I’ve built a diorama before for someone’s fingerboard set up actually! But it was just for background appeal and atmosphere I think 🐤

[@jaredperry917]

great idea adding the plastic to the bottom of the pallet there

[@MrSpriken]

Thanks Jared! I think it adds a nice touch to it :D

[@ray.deathray]

this is great! just stumbled on this video from searching for mini dumpsters. i have a few of the mini lamps like the one shown at 6:49 and will definitely be weathering one to look like that. took a look at some other videos on this channel and subscribed 👻

[@MrSpriken]

Thanks so much friend! I really appreciate the kind comment and your subscribing. Those mini lamps are great, and I use them to make light posts too. Have fun! 🐣

insane detail, you brought this diorama to life.

[@MrSpriken]

♥️🐤

[@autisticcat2315]

Underrated as hell channel, I know this is an older vid but this is probably one of my favorite dioramas I've seen. All those little details just bring this piece to life, might start getting into this and put those leftover gundam pico LEDS to good use. Anyway, keep it up!

[@MrSpriken]

Wow!! Thanks for such a kind and generous comment my friend. This was actually the very first real scratch built diorama I ever made. It was so much fun to build and its what truly started the fire in me to make as many as possible and improve however I could. The best thing I discovered while making it was how easy it was. It made me think that really anyone could do it with the tools and a little imagination. So for sure, if you want to give it a try I highly recommend that you do. The supplies needed are not the much money, and it's a fun hobby that pairs well with model kits. I have some how to videos on my channel (not many) that could help you out, and I may make more in the future, but if you ever need any help you can feel free to contact me here or through my instagram account. Sorry this reply is so long! 🐥

Being artistic is in the blood and soul. It's one those either your perfect with art or awful. No amount of practice etc can fix it. Obviously he's got it, id be willing to bet he's good at everything art like and it's probably a huge part of his life maybe even how he makes living, doing something considered art, even if it's like web design, music, voice over work, etc....

[@vidalexperience]

Great job dude I’m surprised you didn’t add pipes to the background inside the garage - great job!

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you kindly! I made an updated version of this diorama in another more recent video too.

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you so much! I actually made it out of foam. I think I will make a tutorial on my patreon. But you can actually find some good ones here on KZbin if you search 🐤👍🏻 and gear not, it’s easier to make that not looks

Haha sounds awesome! Maybe whenever I do another one I can add those things 🐤

[@antoinedelmas8473]

Amazing diorama, congratulations !👍🤩 How did you create the dumpster ? 3d printing ? I’m trying to create mine but i dont know the best way without 3d printer …

[@BurakNAydn]

I bet this is the secret doorway of a rogue agent organization. Maybe a secret supervillain hideout? Those supervillains are pretty broke though. :D

[@BurakNAydn]

Do you remember the old MASK cartoon? Their secret base looked like a regular gas station from the outside. ^_^

[@jacobwright238]

How do you get the 1/12 newspaper and empty food packages and spiderman comic? This is absolutely amazing work.

[@MrSpriken]

Thanks so much! They are all just images found online through google searches. Some I shrunk down, others were already made that size and they could all just be printed on the home printer and glued together. Easy peasy! 🐥

[@187umkillah]

My dreams to be able to build dioramas, have the room for starters, have the money, heck i wana start by making mock up drawing and blu prints (if you will) but dont even know were to start lol. But in my mind i can picture all kinds stuff id build. As im artistic so any type art comes easy, my main issues what to do with them afterwards as i live in apt with my daughter and no storage room, literally have boxs in corners to suffice lol

[@MrSpriken]

I was/am just like you! I wanted to do it for so long. One day I took the plunge and found it was easier than I had ever imagined. You can do it too. Little by little you can gather materials (which can be fairly inexpensive), you can build something smaller at first and you can make them as I do with magnets so they can be easily taken apart to keep in storage. I have DIY videos on my Patreon page for 3 bucks a month if you’re ever interested, but if that’s not something for you, I would still be happy to help by answering any questions you may have about the whole process 🐤 would be a shame to let all that motivation and creativity you have stay locked up inside you.

[@187umkillah]

@@MrSpriken oh I definitely use my creativeness in many other ways, even down to just coloring w paint markers etc, to literally free writing or sometimes I literally write the same list of video games I want over and over just because I have that creative itch needs stimulation lol. But I Really want to create a jurassic park type diorama.... it would have to be decent sized but just imagine the ideas you could come up with for it. Are the dinos succre in their cages, or they wild and loose destroying and killing, or is it years and years later where it's the ruins and dinos be king for decades lol... this would be cool to make various time periods of same scene also. Diorama is so cool because anything is possible to create your personal version of! Ima start by building a simple tmnt figure display and go from there I believe but the jurassic park is the one I dream about idk why because I wasn't really ever a huge jurassic park kid or anything I just think it's the creative possibilities w it....

[@MrSpriken]

@@187umkillah I am happy to hear you find ways to express and satisfy your creativity, cause it sure is important. Jurassic Park dioramas would be awesome. I loved dinosaurs growing up and love that series (was one of the only novels I have ever read). One of my favorite cartoons and toy lines was dino-riders, where people from the future go back in time while being chased through space by some enemies and they all crash land on prehistoric earth where they continue to do battle with help of dinosaurs. I am glad you will try building dioramas, and a simple Ninja Turtle display piece is a great first project. I wish you good luck, and much fun. And should you have any questions you think I could help with, feel free to send them my way. 🐥

[@187umkillah]

@@MrSpriken I know Dino riders extremely well... I was born in 84 lol.... I loved the show dinosaurs it was one my favorite shows ever. I always had a liking for dinosaurs too, I think our generation was the last were we were taught about stuff like that in school etc. Plus the early 90s was dinosaurs everything it seemed like... but lifes so much different now id hate to be a kid in modern times. Our childhoods were the best and last of a long era that will never be recreated unless civilization restarts from stone age again lol.... 80s kids to early 90s kids were last generation that played outside, wasn't on cell phones a cpus all day other than our Nintendo lol

[@MrSpriken]

⁠preaching to the choir my friend! I agree 💯 I saw the original land before time movie in theatres and was hooked. I could spell dinosaur before I could spell “the” haha. I was born in 83, and you’re right, those glory eras shall never be matched or seen again.

[@SEEshadow]

That is the greatest diorama garbage I have ever seen. Your attention to detail is superb! The rust stains on the brick looks incredible. Curious how you did the white bricks, they look very realistic. Thanks for sharing!!

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you so much! The white brick is just a couple shades of craft paint (whicker white and Snow White I think) and then I used some dry wall spackle for the grout. I will be filming a paint video soon on these techniques so stay tuned if u would like to learn how 🐤 thanks again for your kind comment.

[@SEEshadow]

@@MrSpriken would love to see a tutorial on the bricks!

[@MrSpriken]

@@SEEshadow it shall be coming in the near future! 🐤

[@batosithepk]

you should look into adding a reed switch to the wiring for the light since you love magnets so much and would remove the need to pop the lid off save for replacing the batteries

[@MrSpriken]

I shall look into that! Thanks a bunch for the idea 🐤

[@KarimJovian]

do you sell diorama's that can fit into detolf displays like yours in the back? This looked AMAZING!

[@MrSpriken]

I sure do. I can make ones that size for a lot less money too. I usually take commissions through my instagram account if your interested shoot me a message 🐥

[@PinoyGamingTribe]

wow amazing! where does the light come from? it was magnetizr but all of the ia dettachable. 😳

[@MrSpriken]

Thanks my friend! The lights are powered by 2 small batteries within the fixture itself. So no wires needed :D Its really cool. I buy them on aliexpress for fairly cheap. Like a dollar each plus shipping. The are mini desk lamps, but I remove the stand and arm.

[@aldrinbelmonte]

hello spriken.. i am just wondering.. what is the size of this whole diorama.. its pretty awesome man

[@MrSpriken]

Thank you so much! I forget the exact dimensions but I think it’s about 24 inch long, 12 inch deep and 13-15 inch tall 🐤

[@aldrinbelmonte]

and do you have tutorial on light wiring tutorial? many thanks

[@MrSpriken]

I don’t have a tutorial but it’s super easy. I’ll show it in a future video. Or if you find me n Instagram you can dm me and I’ll explain it for ya 🐤

i'm sure you have answered this 1000x times, but what size magnets do you use?

I don’t mind answering questions :) I use 2 different kinds mainly. One is 3/4 inch ceramic magnets I get from Home Depot (Ook brand) and the other is 6mmx2mm small magnets I find on Amazon or aliexpress 🐤

[@brian-lexiluproductions]

Great work man!! Where do you find the lights you used? What are they called? I've searched Wal mart and all the Dollar stores with no luck. Thanks. Would love to see more dio videos maybe some that show you actually building them like a how too video or a follow along. thanks

[@MrSpriken]

Thanks! I use a couple different lights. The ones I have used here I got from aliexpress: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001975120306.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802Wk6ukE They are called mini desk lamps. I also use these on Amazon: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08BG2759P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I guess they are called part lights or something. Best thing is, both lights include batteries already. Hope that helps.
