How I made this cool hobbit hole diorama - inside/outside | Never tried anything like this before!

[@CM-ARM]

I agree with all who said stop being critical of your work, but do fully understand. I'm a N Scaler and around 60. I'm my worst critic. Getting there looked messy but the final results were fantastic. Keep having fun, Chris

[@Sharauni]

This is beautiful! It feels so warm and homey, I love it. I see so many Hobbit holes from the outside but this is the first time I see both outside and in, it's amazing.

[@kathrynrobinson-burge7661]

This is full of interest and really well done. If this is what you do while not being able to see I would really love to see what you do when you get your new glasses! 😀

[@karenreardon1372]

It really does help when you paint your hands too!

[@RichardHartness]

"If you're feeling critical of my painting..." I'm not! Excellent job, especially for your first time for something like this! Great job.

[@unclejack123]

Excellent "first attempt" ...... I was a great fan, years ago - pre You Tube, of Verlinden and have most of his books ...... you have a very keen eye and deft, albite painted, hand for this work & and above all imagination ....... keep it up

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

This turned out wonderfully. Your painting of the wooden flooring and chest etc look so good. Lovely work my dude for a first try at something like this, even for an experienced modeller. Awesome job and I’d say your mini painting is just fine my good man.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thanks, Neil. I can paint fairly well when I can see, but I'm really having trouble at the moment. My glasses need changing and I don't think the prescription was right in the first place. Thanks for your kind support!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

@@HighEyeWorkshop Eh, that's rough. Can't be easy modeling like that but it'll be such a difference when you can finally get yourself that new pair. Maybe santa will be good to you and grab you a new pair lol. Hopefully soon anyway man. Great job regardless. :)

[@johnphilippatos]

14:47 You should have said " An expensive flourist's cheap knife, so that there would be no misunderstanding here. Nicely done Merrick. Love it

[@patriciaolsen7816]

Again you did a great job on your hobbit hole house and your painting is great to I injoy watching your video am going to watch your other videos am learning a hole lot from your video happy modeling have a great day be safe to

[@Pronssi]

I really like this, both the modeling, the paint job and the over all concept. Such a good idea to make an "half open" inside/outside model which can be seen from both sides. Looking forward to see the rest of your videos now.

[@ringnc]

This is charming, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process! Don’t know that I would have thought to add the fireplace “glow” … that was brilliant and added such ambience ♥️ Clearly a labor of love; thanks for sharing it with us.

[@chocolatefrenzieya]

I also painted my hands. haha! Painter's lament. This is darling! Roof, wood floor and books are my favs!

[@connorwilliams7921]

You should do more structures, this is awesome 💪

[@bettystein9474]

When I first saw the image of your video I instantly thought to myself: “oh, yes!” I was not disappointed. Wonderful results, really beautiful.

[@dindranew.6808]

Critical? THIS IS AMAZING AND GORGEOUS. Thank you for trying this and thank you for sharing! It's lovely!

[@shiragordon5661]

I love watching your videos and I think you did a really good job with this even though its out of your comfort zone !!

[@Kalkipikaia]

This is so cool. I wish I could live there.

[@vezhopkins714]

Eeeee! This is so cute and smaller than I thought, (I usually work in1/6 scale) I like that you have the 2 Ian’s in there 😉😊👍🏻❤️

[@cerisekappes580]

You did incredible!!!!!

[@darknessislight3689]

Your eyes are fine 👍🏾 this very detailed and beautiful 😍

[@howardmandel7930]

Well done! Your attention to detail is Impeccable. I built the entire Hobbiton based on WUTA Workshop’s Floor Plan during COVID lockdown using only items that I had around the house. Recycled egg crates, cardboard boxes, scrap art board, sand, wire, hot glue, spackle, etc. it took me about three months to complete and it was a walk through memory lane watching your video. Thanks!

[@АлександрБарков-н8и]

Great and nice diorama!

[@CrankyPantss]

Nicely done.

[@zestvisions]

Oh wow! I love it, it turned out beautifully. I also have an inside/outside hobbit hole, I like to have an inside for my minifigure photos. I love the way you have the firelight lighting up the room, what a great idea.

[@rogeralm5596]

If this is experimenting with poor eye sight I, in my learning am screwed. This is just another excellent work from a master. 👍😁😁

[@heavyhandedhex]

oh wow I'm early-and this looks so different from the usual! how exciting!!

[@ultramaximusreviews]

This turned out great man!

[@patriciaolsen7816]

[@Condamine123456]

[@modelpassion5148]

This diorama is amazing...! Beautiful work!

[@Kittiesdawn]

I think that’s charming!

[@nickcarry3326]

It looks beaoutiful

[@LBSC_Railway_Production]

I love watching the Hobbit, and you did a pretty great job with Bilbo Baggins house!! The details looks pretty accurate to a Hobbit hole, and I like since you added Gandalf the Grey coming to the door!!

[@Harphly]

Very nice, always enjoying your videos and the music :)

[@philRminiatures]

Most impressive, feeric and beautiful diorama...very creative with wonderful details!👍

[@Justwayne88]

This is amazing I love it such a great job. Will done.

[@fizzylizard2834]

Wow… This is… amazing

[@gigic329]

Wow. This is amazing. I wish i could do something like this.

[@grigoristsachouridis335]

i think u underestimate ur self man both ir structure built and mini paint is awrsome especially for a 1st time .. it reminded me of old good times 2000 if im not mistaken the fellowship of the ring Imagine that diorama with a led light in your fireplace :))

[@nimlosse]

It captures the feeling of a hobbit hole perfectly!

[@TomJones0065]

This Looks Amazing, I do not see any reason to fault your eyes!! I am totally going to the doctor today for that reason! lol My eyes! So I can see small things better I hope. AGAIN THIS IS A WONDERFUL JOB! I SAVED IT! For further Viewing! LOVE IT! Yep you can always tell when one plays.. Not many know this either...

[@DartsideScenics]

Beautiful work! It's nice to do something slightly different

[@Einlanzer83]

awesome job!

[@petemac2126]

Fantastic diorama! Sooo much detail! I was considering a LoTR scene myself. You've definitely provided inspiration. Maybe a video on your take of a 'Weathertop' scene perhaps?

[@Alazen.]

Loved it

[@abdelhamidgamal514]

Very beautiful! 🥰

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thank you very much!

[@CatsAndPokemon]

lol you haaave to be kidding. this was amazinggggggg. I'm looking for things to be critical about

[@nataliamackevics8583]

Amazing work of art! I would love to attend a workshop to do it in a group :)

[@독특한]

멋지네요....잘 보았어용^^*

[@colourpencilart]

Wow ♥️from india 🥰🥰

[@gandrungbonsai]

Watch and learn 👌☝

[@한재윤-x9f]

👍👍

[@kimnobles7687]

I love this build! Where did you get Bilbo and Gandalf? I'm having a hard time finding the right stl files for them.

[@peterstecks7660]

Enjoyed more than I can say. Hope you get your specs sorted, although your creation is superb with poor eyesight, so when you get them, perhaps leave them in their case...? 😎 👁👁

[@williampowell6067]

Great build! I’ve watched this quite a few times. Would you have the dimensions for this build by chance? Thanks! J

[@nazteeb]

Awesome build. TBH you need better mini painting brushes is all I can see to improve. 😂

[@rafiqkatana]

This is awesome. I'm surprised there aren't more views. *Perhaps # it so people will see it in searches easier.*

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thank you. I will give it a go.

[@shiroumxm2052]

why do you excuse¿¿ damn, it´s a gorgoeus diorama!

[@andree_nakita]

Where did you get the figures?

[@bebbeb1995]

We buy the same toilet roll. Just saying 😂

[@FougarouBe]

Not very good eyesight or because your eyes are too "High" above the diorama ? :D :D :D

[@valborchardt3596]

Shame lovey, bad eyesight is no joke. Please go and get new glasses asap…..i have terrible eyesight, so i sympathise. As always, take care

[@gabrielgomescunha]

You excuse yourself too much. Too much humbleness feels like hypocrisy. It looks great.
