"The Droid Maker" 1/12 scale miniature model | Beyond the Blight

[@madeleinekimball6675]

“you are the heart beating outside of my own body” that broke me. i didn’t expect to end a gameyy video while sobbing, but here i am. incredible as always

[@haxxmc]

No way...the father's faithful and highly modified droid is KP 1301,carrying its master's son to a safe haven free from his benefactor's tyranny.

[@nlakeshnomisdai9051]

What a beautiful addition to KP 1301s story.

[@t-risely]

Didn't expect Gamey Builds to bring tears to my eyes, but here we are! Absolutely amazing. The story, the craftmanship, the detail and love behind this is outstanding Please never stop building these, you are an inspiration to me and i'm sure, many others

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@FretNoMore]

What you said ... just wonderful all around.

[@LilythathappenstobeinaValley]

saaame and agreed I almost never cry to stories but waaaahhh that story is so heckin saaaddddd and im left bawlingg

[@kristophermelin7160]

The diorama and builds within are excellent, but the thing I appreciate the most in the narration is the very honest acknowledgment that HOURS of work, and LOTS of failures go into a smooth, "effortless" edited 20 minute video. It comforts us out here watching; you (and many other wonderful KZbin artists) are incredibly talented, but also hardworking, and your success isn't effortless. Our struggles aren't necessarily from a lack of talent or creativity. In many cases, we are simply earlier along in the process. As a (now former) competitive athlete, I can say with first hand knowledge- excellence takes practice, patience, and persistence. It's inspirational to watch and draw from people that have already put the work into the hobby. Thanks!

[@kingdodo6508]

Everything about this was perfect, the story was just amazing. This makes me want to go work on my own diorama, you know what that’s what I’m going to go due. This looks so good.

[@gameyybuilds]

Go for it!

[@JoeKawano]

Amen

[@dexstclaire5442]

This might be the best video I've seen on KZbin. The build is fantastic and the story is truly moving. I watched this on my TV and had to find it on my phone just so I could comment. That's how much I enjoyed it. You can tell GB loves their hobby. The fact that North of the border is a patron tells you everything you need to know about the quality of this channel.

[@gameyybuilds]

I'm not sure if such high praise is deserved, but it certainly is appreciated! And yes, I am very grateful for North of the Border's support over the past few months!

[@queencityminis]

Same here! I watched on my TV and went and got my phone off the charger to subscribe and comment.

[@breydanlee]

Shut up! I’m not crying, you’re the one crying! What an amazing build and lore!! Love this channel!!! Thank you Gameyy Builds!!❤❤

[@gameyybuilds]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@comfychairgaming]

Without the story, this would have been just another droid build. But that was no ordinary droid being built. It was a protector. Not only of a dream to keep the child safe but to keep the family line going.

[@carrie4910]

The story! 😢❤ Omg the build! And I love how the story connects this build to the previous delivery bot build!!! Phenomenal 💜💜💜💜💜

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks! Trying to slowly connect some of the stories. It's a very immersive project, but super enjoyable to me.

[@goofyguysentertainment4582]

Not only do you make an amazing diorama, but you also write a amazing short story to accompany it. Keep up the amazing work.

[@gameyybuilds]

Working on the next one now!

[@goofyguysentertainment4582]

@@gameyybuilds I can't wait

[@willswasteland]

Again, your storytelling brings this build to life. You crafting is great, but your storytelling is superb. I would honestly love to hear you telling full length stories while watching a build on screen. Just you building while a 20 to 30 minute story is told.

[@LenBerry]

I adore the little notes of warmth and humanity you invest into your stories. Fine proof of the love and conviction you have for every aspect of your "Beyond the Blight" builds.

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks!

[@BayushiGemma]

My God that story I was captivated and want more!

[@with_whimsy]

You are seriously a wizard at weathering! The brick walls, door and work bench simply came to life with history. I’m so pleased I found your channel

[@gameyybuilds]

You and me both!

[@TheAnnyParker]

You somehow manage to make not only beautiful art in your dioramas, but also in the stories you tell. Through tear-filled eyes, I say you truly have a gift

[@LegoDude3258]

As a longtime Studson fan I just keep randomly recognizing Final Faction toys while binging Beyond the Blight.

[@diomyrama]

Amazing build and story. My wife just watched it for the first time and cried her eyes out. You are awesome crafter but your stories is just the next level.

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks man!

[@StudioKelpie1993]

The story and build are by far my favourites so far next to "Little Flea", it's really fun to listen to your world unfolding!

[@queencityminis]

The KZbin Algorithm gets me. This video was suggested to me. Now I need to watch the rest of your videos. The story was fantastic. It should be a movie.

[@frog_goblin]

i was so happy to hear the mention of just how much time and tedium it takes to do hobbies like this. it’s easy for someone to see cut down footage and feel like it was slapped together with no hassle at all but i know as an artist i’ll spend hours working on a drawing and still not really get it to the level of finish i want. it takes a lot of work, and that should be recognized as part of dedication, grief, AND joy of working on this sort of thing.

[@brentraptor]

i kept it together until "you are the heart beating outside of my own body." this brought me to tears. you are wildly talented!

[@hefeibao]

Am I the only one who thinks you should publish these stories as a collection on kickstarter? Really love the world you are building.

[@gameyybuilds]

Yep, a book is on its way, once I have enough stories!

[@mrkshply]

This story was impossibly sad and the build feels exactly like what Tak's shop would look like. Your stories elevate your exquisite builds

[@chinazomejingiri4390]

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS INTO A BOOK OR MOVIE THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!

[@geolectric_universe]

This was absolutely incredible. Everything from the build to the story to the narration was utterly amazing. The story itself nearly brought tears to my hardened face. Having only watched a few of your videos at this point, I can't tell you how much I would love to enthrall myself into assorted media that takes place in your world. From books, to film and video games - what a wonder it would be! Until then, I will satiate myself with a deep dive into your videos starting today. Thank you so much for sharing with us! You are truly multi-talented.

[@gameyybuilds]

Very kind of you, thanks!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

WOW, what a story and the build is outstanding. It sure made the secret delivery much clearer.

[@gameyybuilds]

Love reading all your comments, Tom!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Beyond beautiful 🤯

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks so much, Ben!

[@Stoptops]

Get someone who works for Netflix down here right now. This deserves to be a series on TV

[@F.N.G.RC1]

your ability to bring a story alive in such a 4d way is amazing!

[@aidansadventures7651]

art can be difficult but when you reach the end, everything is worth it and I can’t wait for my ideas to come to life.

[@gameyybuilds]

Just checked out your channel. You are one inspirational kid/young man. Looking forward to seeing what you create. Best wishes!

[@DarkestDungeonFan]

This needs to be a tv show. Each episode tells the story of all of these dioramas and lasts like 20-30 minutes.

[@Jediand]

I came here to learn about how to make things a little better. I left with tears in my eyes and a heart broken for Tak and Amira. I'm hoping you've done this droid treking with the child in other videos, or if not then that will be a future project to see their great escape away from that brutal life. Thank you for your time, your craft and your storytelling.

[@Seaofdesign]

I know I'm late commenting by a year, but I've been watching through all of your builds. This one is by far one of the most heart wrenching. Like you had me crying over a diorama build. Every detail is fantastic and the story is the cherry on top

[@ghosts_5590]

Ngl I cried at the story. The absolute selflessness of those final lines… dam

[@amc8028]

Really enjoyed the short story you wrote. Very touching.

[@toebarsrealm3773]

Tedium is the main ingredient of any project worth doing. You know youre doing it right if you second guess yourself halfway through and finish anyway.

[@docdildonica7515]

I’ve only ever kit bashed; never used or created a complete model or intact one before. It just makes more sense and is easier on my mind.

[@lynxflame4115]

I am SO HAPPY to hear that someone else likes the painting process as much as me! I was beginning to lose hope lol

[@phoebegraveyard7225]

This was wonderfully done. You are bang on when you said that reimagining smashed items was hard. You are gifted in that aspect for certain. I’d love to see a small colony of survivors, untouched by the blight if that has not already been done.❤your work.

[@caroline..0505]

Heart breaking! Your story is so real and sad that I forgot what I was watching until the story stopped and then I remembered that its a model and not real. I'm almost cross with you for making me feel sad, but this was brilliant, both the model and the story!!

[@gameyybuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@teafyhr3471]

Didn't see that end coming and I cried my eyes out. Don't know if I should thank you or scold you for giving me all these pictures in my mind. But as with all great art, one is supposed to react, so I suppose it's the former. Thank you!

[@ramsilva]

Absolute next level stuff. I love the space that you left in this diorama. It isn’t cluttered which makes it seem spacious and gives the viewer insight into Tek’s(sp?) personality. That screen is one of the coolest features. It really brings the whole scene to life.

[@gameyybuilds]

Interesting thoughts about the empty space, I actually had some other things planned for that area like crates and a stool, but ran out of time.

[@earlware4322]

​@@gameyybuildsYeah, I thought that the only thing missing here was a stool or chair. Otherwise, this was beyond great!!

[@heatherlongacre4246]

I was absolutely blindsided by this story, I never thought watching a diorama build would leave me in tears.

[@DevilsCustomsandCreatures]

I'm glad you mentioned the amount of work. Scratch bash and I were just talking about that same thing on IG. Hardest part is finding a balance btwn showing everything, or not enough. Awesome dio here! Love the use of the fire engine for a wall mounted arm!

[@gameyybuilds]

Yep, I don't even want to know how much time went into this one. Let's just say 'a lot'.

[@emilyrobinson6080]

The story attached to this had me crying by the end of it. Well done, both in writing and construction.

[@marcusinfestus1333]

Everything about this is beautiful. I appreciate the stories; please never stop

[@gameyybuilds]

New one coming this Sunday. Hope you enjoy!

[@Lewis-jt9cq]

You give me the courage to start making stuff again, I couldn’t be mire thankful

Holy shit dude. That story is incredible. This world should be turned into an rpg setting. Its so rich and unique.

this actually made me tearup a little since i becabe a single father myself, caring for 2 kids without a mother. i love ur videos and story's! keepem uploading :)

[@rickysandwich]

I love the diy and upcycling aspect of your builds. These diorama channels are so cool, but I sometimes get thinking with how much new stuff is being used for them. Seeing how you take already existing things and breathe new life into them is inspiring.

[@Haylee427]

This was the first Video of you I’ve ever watched. And wow. I’ll DEFINETLY be back for more

[@teresaellis7062]

I love the story narration of "Remote Services", but I also love getting a glimpse into how you build these models. It makes me appreciate the effort and learned skill that goes into these dioramas.... It also convinces me that I need to simplify my life before I add another hobby to the list I already have. 😏I think it is best that I enjoy your videos, save up to be able to contribute to your Patreon and finish sewing that shirt that is still needs to be altered in shoulders. 😳

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks! Yeah, from now on I think a mix of crafting narration and storytelling is the best for the videos. Appreciate your feedback!

[@stevenwright4706]

From one model builder to another what a creative person you are well done

[@aylaktavsan]

I love everything about this! Your videos are one of my favourite series on KZbin. Kitbashing looks like an incredibly fun but also veeery hard thing to do. I still cannot see anything until the artist primes the whole model. Cannot even imagine being able to do it.

[@gameyybuilds]

That is super kind of you, Melike! Thanks for this comment and other s you've made on past videos. :)

[@VancePetrol]

Just try it! I'm willing to bet you'd be pleasantly surprised just how quickly 'bashing' some bits and bobs together will lead to a recognizable shape. You've quite literally evolved to be good at it! Worst case scenario: your trash is now in smaller pieces and some of it is glued together. Oh well..;)

[@lesleygoodall-page8035]

Now I understand the “other” build….cried a bit too. Such a wonderful build and the story

[@Samswordst]

That was an amazing, emotional, heartbreaking story, you need to write a short film and have it animated,. This is one of the best storys I've ever heard ,please wright a book

[@suspeh]

I found this channel recently thanks to a random yt recommendation, I don't have words to describe how amazing you are. It have it all, the model is fantastic, with ton of attention to detail, re use crap and random things lying around, THE STORY behind, even the screen with little motions graphics. I LOVE IT, I became addicted to this channel. Hope sometime I became Patreon to help you. thanks you, it inspired me

[@DarkDioStudio]

This is a gorgeous dio. I normally don’t watch long videos. I skip to the good parts but MAN!! I was glued and enjoying your story. Great job on the build and beautiful story. ❤

Look, buddy, I was just looking last night for some inspiration for my 40mm scratch build robots for some tabletop games. I wasn't supposed to get emotionally invested and watch handfuls of storytime build videos and enjoy this more than whatever my wife puts on the TV while I work. . . . Thank you.
