I Built the World’s Smallest Lightsaber! (1:72 Scale Endor / Return of the Jedi Book Nook Diorama)

[@wsuvjosh]

Alright I had to replay the intro a few times. The attention to detail on all your stuff is 👌

[@brungerbuilds]

Thank ya 🤓

[@studio-rawr]

More dioramas please! Love the final result.

[@brungerbuilds]

Planning on it! Thanks for watchin ❤️

[@williamroark4760]

Adding a panel similar to your droid interface video, would be killer in this build. It could control the lighting, and add that little extra Star Wars kick to the entire piece. For someone not well-versed in miniatures and dioramas, you knocked this one out of the park! Fantastic work, sir!

[@brungerbuilds]

That's a great idea! But I can only take on so much in a one week build haha! 😅

[@NostalgiaBrit]

Dude, that miniature lightsaber is _amazing!_ 😃

[@brungerbuilds]

Thank you!

[@nathancollier6182]

I work primarily in this scale when it comes to dioramas. You absolutely blew this out of the park! This is incredible. Keep up the great work!

[@brungerbuilds]

Thanks so much!

[@diyfireking]

Beautiful piece of work 👍👍

[@brungerbuilds]

Thank you!

[@marcocolucci2932]

Wonderful build and great presentation of the whole process. The way you "digitally kitbashed" Luke was very interesting!

[@brungerbuilds]

Thank you! I’m terrible at using Blender so I’m very much just hacking and slashing with the boolean tool whenever I need to “model” something haha!

[@philengelgau8454]

Really nice work and well documented too! The little lightsaber looks great!

[@brungerbuilds]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@trudihjeltness8501]

so fucking cool!! it’s like a portal the way it’s so isolated and lit up and the mirrors make the inside look infinite!

[@brungerbuilds]

Thank ya 🤓

[@nathan471]

this looks awesome

[@brungerbuilds]

Thank you!

i subscribed after being recommended your channel a few months ago by the algorithm, specifically your video where you weather resin to make it look like wood grain and i've been watching since then :) impressive stuff you make here and i'm surprised you don't get more attention than you do, not to suck up but your content's super fun and i hope you keep doing what you're doing, big love xx

[@brungerbuilds]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Definitely feeling the same and wondering why the algorithm doesn’t seem to be pushing me or people don’t seem to be clicking 🤔 It’s a little discouraging, but for the time being I’m going to keep chugging away!

[@therianCatastrophe]

@@brungerbuilds yeah you really just gotta keep thugging it out man, as long as you put yourself out there for the love of the art ppl are gonna show up at whatever pace but they will keep showing up, i rly do think its just a matter of time before you pop off properly

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

Looks great! Must look really great in person with the mirrors giving it that false depth.

[@brungerbuilds]

Thanks! It was kind of tough to show that part of it on camera, but it came out pretty great. A couple spots here or there aren’t perfectly lined up, but overall I’m super happy with it!

[@elix_]

Maybe you could have snapped the right leg of luke and used the wire as the leg :D Awesome Work as usual!

[@brungerbuilds]

That’s a pretty good idea. Maybe I’ll try something like that next time 🤔

[@Iskelderon]

In this video you've actually mentioned something that's my main gripe with many models. For some reason, people think "weathering" is just a sloppy blackwash nd then you can call it a day, instead of building up several layers of differently colored effets. Also, for projects like this piano hinge bands are your friend, make one side wall able to swing out and you have access to work and if there's ever a need to do maintenance.

[@brungerbuilds]

Agree! I share your gripe with one pass weathering and I’m always doing multiple layers haha!
