How to Make a Realistic Space X Diorama

#SpaceX #FalconHeavy
This week, I sat down and built something random. I had no idea what the final goal was until part way into the build. A miniature Falcon Heavy launch in a glass dome came to mind while looking through my little 3V filament collection.
I know there are a lot of mixed opinions on Elon Musk, but I would love if he saw this video. You should tweet it at him!
Maybe EverydayAstronaut can help me get it to him.

You have mastered the art of using filaments and creating smoke clouds from fibre fill. Really enjoyed. Thank you for sharing 👍😊

[@frankierzucekjr]

He has, he makes it look easy, until I were to try it and looks nothing like what it should lol. He nailed the Super Mario one too

[@Rocco049]

It’s really cool and it looks really good unlit as well

[@AussieBall_Animations]

Yes

[@1x1.studio]

Yes he makes it looks like just piece of cake🥲

[@BreakerBreaker1320]

Nerd bit here but It’s not actually smoke. It’s water vapor based on type of fuel and how it combusts. There is no consumable part to create smoke.

[@kyriaandnigelsmith6292]

You ended up making a portal by accident, the swirling reflections on the top of the dome are magical!

[@jst1man]

That's the reflection from the sky!

[@RavenTheVelociraptor]

u right

[@MG-we9np]

I also noticed that and thought how cool 👊🏽👍🏽

[@pastuh]

Because such will exist

[@cjcollado8071]

*Certified Half-Life 2: EP2 Moment* _Or it could also be the 1st Half Life, both follow a similar Idea_

[@KnarbMakes]

Wow, the reflection at the top of the dome is so trippy. Love it!

[@euansmith3699]

It looks like Boylie made a Portal Diorama after all.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you very much for the shout out mate. I really appreciate it 🙏. This is a wonderful diorama 👍. I really need to start using these filaments, they create awesome light effects 🙂

[@Boylei]

Of course! Thanks for making inspiring content!

[@och70]

The filament & cotton method for this type of effect is one of my favorite crafting techniques to see being used. The reflection at the top of the dome makes it look like the rocket is heading toward some kind of portal, so you did make a space-themed portal after all.

[@oi6664]

What is "filament"? EL-wire? English isn't my native language, so a can't understand

[@chrisxuan4641]

i thought you were going to recreate the artemis 1 launch that happened a couple of days ago but this is amazing! such a small yet beautiful project, i didn't expect it to look this good! you never fail to surprise me with your creations

[@4str0m3ch]

Yeah, that was a shame. Most powerful space rocket ever built!

[@gameseeker6307]

[@oimatewhatyouonabout8526]

turn on the lamp and it blinds the entire room

[@ClosetShopCustoms]

Maybe next time? I am a huge space fan so that would be awesome. This was still super cool tho

[@peterpiper4722]

freaking awesome!

amazing. love the reflection of the "flames" on top of the dome

[@modelermark172]

I'm really impressed by the visual impact of the finished work; especially when compared to the simplicity of its construction. Thanks for posting this!

[@KnarbMakes]

I accidentally have three way switches too. Could be interesting to do a "two look" with different colors lighting up dpeneding on the switch position.

[@Boylei]

That’s a great idea! Should try that.

[@EuIo93]

@@Boylei add a microcontroller and neopixels. You can control the brightness plus the colour temperature (there are neopixels with 3 "white colours" instead of RGB)

[@HORTN8R]

This is also such an amazing way to record history. Imagine a museum of world history but its just dioramas.

[@wingnutbert9685]

If you're ever in Hamburg, Germany, definitely check out Miniatur Wunderland!

[@Joe_of_Arc_]

The exhaust looked incredible!

[@dpmakestuff]

dude! so good. The reflection from the glass adds so much life to it. Amazing paint work too.

[@mikemotorsport]

One of my favourite ones you have done. Very simple and looks so cool. Do the space shuttle next

[@1x1.studio]

We all have to agree that his builds just get better and better everyday, like look at this masterpiece! INCREDIBLE

[@dofense9991]

It looks so incredibly good. Great made

[@PetesWorld01]

Wow, looks so good when it's lit up! Another great smoke/ lighting effect. ☺☺👍🏻👍🏻

[@mbg7966]

This is SOOO amazing. Such a “simple” idea but so well made and it literally looks magical!!

[@Nooticus.]

this is literally the best scale spaceship launch in a jar ive ever seen

[@fireflyfox93]

This is such a simple build but man, the wow factor when the lights were turned on was massive 🤯😍

[@barryjack3025]

Between watching Spacex launch’s and your videos… I am kept happy. Nice to see both my passions at the same time. Great job!

[@Godchilla]

I love how that glow in the top of the glass looks like a golden galaxy the falcon is heading towards! Great build, like always! 🙂

[@stevieandthebarbies]

Awsome! So simple but so effective. The (unintentional?) reflection on the dome is beautiful.

[@archiepops]

How can something so simple look so awesome when you add light! Stunning!! :)

[@PreposterousJellyfish]

Such a great result!! Would you consider making a short tutorial or slightly more in-depth dive on lights/LEDs/filaments, where to get them, how to connect them and how to power them? I'm just starting out with my first diorama project and I would love to incorporate some lighting effects as well, however I have no idea how to implement or even plan them lol

[@minisnmore]

I agree wholeheartedly. I would even pay for a video about the filaments.

[@MMMERCIFUL]

this stuff is incredible and you can watch and not get bored or anything you make the videos just long enough to show every detail yet leave it short enough to where you don’t get bored i love this

[@noctaviassky672]

Gotta say this type of art is something else, truly beautiful.

[@Oatfilms]

Wow! So cool to see a space themed build!

[@emilnord]

It means "lovely" in English. And that is what I think of your diorama. Looking really awesome as always. Love how the top of the doom looks like a portal. Great work!

[@euansmith3699]

I love the "lathe" for shaping the ship's bell-end. That's some neat lateral thinking. The minis looks wonderful.

[@Rebelwolf2023]

Man.. i would buy that in a heart beat.. that is so awesome.. i hope you get that tour.. Great job.

[@cyberpunkdreams]

Very nice, as ever. The collection of tubes that run down the outside of a rocket is called the raceway, by the way. And those aren't fins, they're the landing legs (non-deployed, of course). Maybe next time a diorama of the two side boosters coming down to land? ;)

[@jerobyarts5654]

Damn ,the effects look so good and cinematic , you are so talented

[@apexminiatures528]

It looks so realistic. That's crazy I would buy this.

[@lionessoftor4139]

Simply Incredible

[@TheStrangeAlchemist]

If I could buy this for my desk I would. Holy crap you've gotten good with those filaments!

[@TheSantaRocker]

More real space related stuff please like Artemis and Apollo or Space Shuttle or even the start of the Wild West Space program like a rocket car! Love your stuff it’s always amazing. Saw your channel this week and have watched every video twice!

[@AndrewKuntzman]

My wife got mad at me when I did that and that was over a year ago. But I couldn’t stop watching

[@DugTheDog]

Mind blowing how perfect it turned out!

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

The final look of this is so DOPE! I really love the technique that you used to round the polystyrene using a drill a a lathe of sorts. Wicked, my friend, wicked! : )

[@Degenerate4_7]

A bit of a weird Q but where do you keep all of your builds?

[@Palestrike]

smooth jazz, top notch humor, and a great project. great work as always. Keep it up!!

[@minisnmore]

This scene came out fantstic as always. You never disappoint. It is not just fact that your builds are so realistc and creative, your videos and naratives are more soothing and cheaper than therapy. As always, I am inspired by the current video and eagerly anticipating the next one.

[@rhino202]

This is fantastic! I need that dremel press. Love the smoke effects you do. So realistic the thumbnail looks like the real launch pics🤯 Next up Artemis?!?!

[@STHelton1]

The reflection on the top of the glass would be cool for a mushroom cloud or something like that.

[@JonSteitzer]

Really amazingly evocative.

[@TheeArtSmith]

SO SIMPLE YET SO AMAZING!

[@piperatthegatesofdawn]

That looks badass!!

[@jgcoverkknot5701]

I would *love* a nightlight like this! 😻

[@horizonsforge]

Beautiful work as always! I really have to start adding filaments to my projects. They really add a lot.

[@scottphillipy9831]

It's just amazing how you can take plain stock and turn it into something incredible. Rhanks for sharing and good luck on your target viewer.

[@X-OR_]

That's one small SpaceX Launch in a Jar for man, one giant project for mankind !

[@slushosaur]

A Saturn V would have been classier, great work none the less! You're so good with those filaments!

[@pmedic523]

Looks so awesome. The reflection on the dome of the glass inside is also really sweet! A space shuttle launch or mid air flight would make for a really cool diorama given your mastery of the led filaments.

[@sirenheadbutnot]

You haven’t created something so relevant to me before, I love rockets, space, and especially spacex,thank you!

[@wyattthepilot]

I would love to know where you get your battery housing and other electrical parts, I make dioramas myself, mostly of planes, but I wanted do one of an f-18 launching flares, and wanted lights for the flares. Can you help me out?

Very amazing, I love the lights looks like you took a real look packet and shrink it down.

Ngl, I'm pretty disappointed that Boylei wants anything to do at all with Elon.

[@dreydantrovirr8136]

Absolutely love this build! Watching the first Falcon Heavy launch with the boosters landing simultaneously was one of the most exciting things I've seen. This looks perfect!

[@TapioSalminen74]

I don't usually really like enclosed dioramas or vignettes since I feel the glass just gets in the way of viewing the piece, but this time the glass really enhances the viewing experience. The reflection on the top of the dome makes it feel like the rocket is heading into some kind of portal in the sky.

[@awldune]

The clouds look so good! Fantastic

[@Jon651]

Very well done! I was across the Indian River from Kennedy Space Center during the Falcon Heavy launch, and if it weren't for the dense fog that settled in over the water I imagine your model is what the launch would have looked like! We did hear - and feel - it take off, as well as the double sonic booms as two of the three boosters came back in for a landing. We also watched the Orion-Artemis I launch, but from 50 miles further away at home. Night launches are always spectacular.

[@ducatisti]

We were lucky enough to catch a Falcon Heavy launch on a perfect blue-sky day back in 2017, it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life so far.
