I painted inside the worlds biggest Warhammer miniature

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

We have made a brand new fantasy Universe with 10 amazing looking miniatures to paint! You can check out the campaign and support the channel - it goes live October 2022 here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/squidmar/champions-of-sona-75mm-resin-miniatures

[@thehorizonchaser]

When you finish it, can you make a 10-min atmospheric standalone video that highlights all the various parts of the diorama with extended shots? It is hard to take it all in with faster shots/transitions. Amazing work

[@kedbreak136]

I’d love a VR video that takes us through the diorama to see it as if we were in the different areas!

[@Stupha_Kinpendous]

I'd love a mad scientist to shrink me down so I can just live there.

[@NTHEREFF]

No

Slow the playback and pause. :)

Yes please!

[@opiebrezhnev6507]

Props to Squidmar for sacrificing 190 year off of his eternal vampire lifetime to make this project happen.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

for the greater good

[@stephenmercerProductions]

I see you did the maths.

[@urbestfriend280]

I just got beanboozled, I came to the comments to type something witty about the time discrepancy, until I started to type it out. 69k 420 days...... fuck you squidmar

[@madskure1616]

Yeah Think they miscounted ALOT!!!

[@Wolfie21384]

The attention to detail and the obvious fun you both are having while completing this massive diorama is inspiring. Can't wait for the final **Grand Reveal**

[@MrRhoadsRules25]

that's what I was thinking! they work so well together that it looks effortless

[@Praaguematic]

the presentation has really improved over last year or so. appreciate all the effort that you guys put into not only the hobby itself but also the editing etc

[@mercurybard9794]

I love how you do not shy away from bright colors like aqua, turquoise, and magenta and still make it look weathered and decayed

[@thelittlestgiant]

I’m glad we finally learned how the manta crashed. RIP Tau, and RIP seagulls.

[@stevendougal3600]

it's looking awesome.. and maybe a little late for this suggestion but.. what about some salvaged weapons from the suits etc. set up as a rudimentary defence system?

[@karvo]

I never jumped into a KZbin video so quickly

Your dedication to this project, getting every single piece to a phenomenal standard is just awe-inspiring. It is just an insane pleasure to watch your team continue this long running project. I hope this goes down in Warhammer history.

[@stizzl9568]

Would be nice if you will make a extra long reveal for the last episode. i really want to see all the details on the finished diorama!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Awesome video. Really hoping the grand reveals can be longer. This has been an awesome series and the finish line is insight. Keep up the good work.

[@KabinMiniatures]

70 000 days worth of work?! This project is truly epic... awesome work as always!

[@Nick-hm9rh]

Been working on it for 190 years

[@ackbooh9032]

It may be a joke rather than a typo: subjective time... to quote user @A Rehtman : < ah I see, the joke went over your head It’s 69 420 You know, the sex number and weed number? >

[@jamesbishop6986]

The project is great with amazing attention to detail but the damage report monitor was done with a minor flaw. It was done in the English written language instead of the fantasy T’au written language.

[@kreikan]

the joke would have been more more private then...

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

So glad to see this. My son and I have been following this series since the beginning, eagerly awaiting the final result. Amazing work gentlemen.

[@jamyperson4287]

The level of details you guys do is insane! It is amazing to see the progress you made from the very first manta video. Keep up the good work.

[@luciferblack4768]

Maybe add like a grave site/memorial built by the survivor to honour his brothers or sumthn like that, i think would look rly cool and fit the vibe of him having been there long enough to take the care and effort to do that

[@WilldoanythingforaRX7]

Looking sick dudes! Just started a deathguard army and has taken weeks to paint cant imagine not only painting this but going into so much detail for this project.

[@F0XRunner]

This series has been absolutely fantastic, just a joy to watch. I eagerly wait each new episode and I am already dreading the end, when I will have no choice but to go back to the beginning and watch the all over again!

[@ShallowVA]

Aw that lower deck with the wrecked robots is so cool!

[@JonBck]

Lukas expression when handed the TV is amazing :-)

[@SidelineJester]

The existance of the dead tau in the ship would mean that they are colleagues of the lone survivor, who didnt want to bury them. But reasonable, Jeff the Co-Pilot never cleaned the coffee machine

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Fkn Jeff. Steve ain't messing with that shit.

[@fromization1]

I guess it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the lone survivor to leave his buddies in the cockpit when he buried the others :) Anyway, awesome work as always!

[@Vulpatron]

I thought the same, maybe the Tyranids creep in the abandoned ship and he didn’t manage to get all the crew out and buried 🤷‍♂️

[@Dovakhin94]

Would have been cooler if he wrote: survivors 4 so 3 died after the crash and the last one buried them

[@BarokaiRein]

Yeah I guess they're doing it just because they wanna use at least couple of those parts. Maybe they were just assholes or something so he left them there.

[@VerhoevenSimon]

I love the amount of detail that's in the inside of this model.

[@RonBlankenbeckler]

Man it blows me away how talented you guys are

[@leafy126.5]

I am incredibly hyped for the reveal. These diorama videos are my favourite of the hobby

[@mobiusZero2]

Bruh....you guys made it so much cooler with the insides ! The rust, foliage the under growth of roots, I love it! Should add like small creatures like local animals or bugs inside the Manta, usually small or mid size animals would use it as a proper shelter. Like how rats would use a tool shed as its own place.

[@capidano6248]

most excellent weathering on the inside !!

[@gazimoff]

This just keeps getting better and better! The detail inside is astounding, especially as most people won’t see it. Can I donate you a hammerhead or Devilfish to go inside that hangar bay? :)

[@DERADI30]

The Manta comes with two of each as well as as however many suits fit on that rail in the middle and the drones. The only part of the crew you can't use are the fire warriors since all of them are sitting down, everything else are GW plastic models.

[@magnus0017]

everything about this project has been extraordinary. the amount of detail and care just continues to grow. you all are amazing.

[@dustiiyork3907]

To see this whole project in person would be a true gift to the eyes ! I'm Lucky enough I get to see it through my screen but gosh it looks so amazing !! Can't wait for the finale !!

[@valaquenta220]

300 000 views already...and you deserve every last one of those !

[@_oidaki_]

truly amazing. the best big project on KZbin.

[@micahmyers898]

Not sure if anyone noticed but the moaning sound at 9:56 when the glue is squirting was high quality editing🤌

[@ceegronlee]

this project has been so amazing to follow. every time there was an update I was always so excited to watch! can't wait for the final video and looking forward to what comes next!!

[@redthecrusader007]

Amazing work as always

[@rachelbrown989]

That just looks awesome, I don't think there are words really to describe it.

[@jasoncarter3182]

I cant wait for you guys to make a warlord titan diaroma 😂 In all seriousness the manta is wicked awesome and I cant imagine how weird of a feeling it will be for you when it's done

[@Solidfluids]

That survivor is a jerk for not burying all his squad mates and just leaving them rot inside the ship.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

His squad is definitely buried, the other guys are from other squads

[@Murc_roadster]

I don't even like Warhammer but you guys paint awesome and that's why I watch

[@olivermoore8208]

BOTH OF THE FUNNY NUMBERS!! Such a fun touch to the video! Loving the videos

[@makeshiftminis9090]

You aren't satisfied with the words good enough are you? The amount of thought and effort you put into this is astounding.

[@babeul80]

Amazing work as always. In the future, Emil needs to finish THAT giant in the background of almoust every video. Poor guy, he's been alone behind the grass for so many years haha.

[@Crytica.]

Incredible work guys, this whole series has been a blast to follow from beginning to end!

[@29salonica]

You're simply the BEST! Nothing more to say!

[@shleem9620]

Yay more manta videos! love what you guys created

[@Sacdaddicus]

Absolutely wild how much work goes into making things look fucking busted up.

[@bladieeightwheels]

Just amazing work and will be one of if not the best when it's finished can't wait thanks guys

[@kermitcommando8833]

OMG, This has made my morning! Thank you!!!

[@nickleonard430]

one word.... Beautiful!

[@RickardLejonhjarta]

that skull kit is the best thing GW makes the amount of use ive gotten out of One of those boxes is unreal

[@Defeshh]

I swer to god I bought like 3 boxes already. Probably one of their bests sellers

[@DingoPaints]

This project is so exciting, getting to the finish line.... 🤩

[@Vortid]

Looking forward to the grand reveal supercut!

[@tevisstier9044]

This whole series has been amazing

[@seanstevenson9891]

I'm.....soooo......excited.....for the GRAND REVEAL! 🤗 Awesome as usual, Guys.

[@Lavadog11]

This looks really good. Personally I would have looked up some aviation ECAS messages to put on the screen.

[@spawn101]

The seagull was a nice touch though.

[@jhoodfysh]

That was an inspiring video, thank you both.

[@DavillionObis]

I love your videos so much, but I wish they where longer. You guys put all this effort in, just to condense it into 11 minutes. Maybe you can do a longer video going into depth about this project, covering anything you may have missed. Either way I’ll keep coming back!

[@Alex-vf3io]

This build is stunning.

[@Visigoth_]

6:55 Who knew the Tau actually speak Low-Gothic and not T'au... 🤔😋

[@annekoning8747]

Wow! So you got almost 150 people working 24/7 from june 10th 2021 up until now on this project? PROPS!

[@derPetunientopf]

This is just amaaazing. Love it.

[@ramps5866]

Loved everything and i also loved the music

[@Graven-Ash]

For that battlesuit you have hanging on the rail, would you consider modifying its arms so that it looks like its limp, with the arms at an angle as they are in the base mini it looks active rather than old and falling apart. Also the survivor did bury most of his comrades so there should be a reason he didn't bury these last 5 guys right? maybe something heavy fell on them or he couldn't undo their restraints?

[@Mognemind]

I thought the same about burying his comrades, the only explanation is that the survivor hated Jerry and didn't bury him

[@comicmoniker]

Yeah I also laughed at the idea that he hated these guys in particular and didn't bury them like the rest

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Jerry who sat next to him on the ship and the co pilot Jeff were real assholes

[@Muenni]

@@SquidmarMiniatures Or cloacas, as it were

[@SvenDeLure]

Looks awesome again! Amazing job!

[@bjornthies6000]

Damage Report should be in T áu. But in all great work as always.

[@belzaboul]

Beautiful work Squidmar 👌

[@autumnridge5541]

BEST SERIES EVER

So hype with this proyect! Keep up the good work guys! that looks amacing! ❤❤❤

[@y-adouradou446]

man, half a second seeing the miniature picture, i was already on the video. Was waiting for it so so so so so so so badly 😂

[@neilandrews2995]

Oo spiffy And bonus Riker...my day is complete

[@reyone1143]

It’s looking epic!!!

[@ShuTheIdiot]

Just managed to catch this before I go on a the first plane of two today, hopefully I don't crash and end up like the poor fire warrior in this dope as hell diorama

[@ikarus007]

Yes yes yes it goes on!! :* love this!

[@JonSteitzer]

the broken robots are just... amazing

[@DaneInTheUS]

Looking awesome guys!!!

[@zeyf7810]

super cool, I think it would look neat if you scratched up the window with the damage report to make it look a bit more worn

[@johnh290]

A nest of animals inside the ship would be really cool.

[@MrDjpaulh1982]

Just made my day.

[@Schacal6666]

Shouldn’t you not touch a miniature so often, cause the coulours get grinded out etc? Or is it such high quality painting or is it extra sealed like with Acryl?

[@sauceboss6993]

Ive been staying up to date on the manta diorama since beforeI shipped to korea, its a bittersweet end to both the epicness of the diorama and my time here.

[@DZLier]

Looks awesome! I'm a little sad you won't be doing the resin river cascading down through the Manta like you brainstormed in the intro video, cause I really wanted to see that. But there's more than enough going on here to keep the viewer engaged!

[@moxietiger]

im curious about this one. you always make some awesome miniature every week, what i wonder are, are you make exhibition or gallery of your miniatures ? if it so, then where ? because i think your works are good enough to be showcase on gallery or something ngl. anyway, good job ! i feel inspired everytime watch your works.

[@yantisisking]

You really should bring this thing to golden demon. Zou guys are Soooo amazing

[@roedyhellyeah]

8 years of building, nice!

[@youtubevanced4900]

Is Lucas a partner in the channel now or is he just an employee? Feels like he's a staple of the channel that should be fully invested in it. If not, I would encourage him to branch out on his own. I think most of this audience would watch his painting and diorama videos.

[@Marconius6]

I kinda wanna know what happened to the Ethereal there... seems to be nowhere in the diorama, which seems odds considering how important they would be. At the very least there should be a fancy grave or something?

[@redfondant4726]

Still think it would be cool if you held a writing competition for the art piece. A well written story will add much more detail than what a person can come up with looking at the art piece. I understand that this is an art channel, not a writing channel, but it would be fun nonetheless. Story would contribute to the manta similarly to how it does for a custom space marine chapter. It explains the details you can't see and how they fit into the world of 40k in the 41st millennium.

[@Craftlngo]

Probably too late to the party but now that you've made such a terrific job on the interior wouldn't it be cool to have a huge hole in the fuselage so that you can look inside?

[@aidenstallings9287]

dude that table must be insane subbed frfr

[@colehamilton1336]

Amazing. Though I have to say, I was really hoping for a broken down, derelict hammerhead or devilfish on the bottom level.

[@Archangel_Kali]

Can you make a supercut of all of these, so we can see the process from start to finish, uninterrupted?

[@mylesmulholland6521]

excellent job guys

[@paradox7358]

The survivors count on the screen should have said 2. Adds a bit of mystery :)

[@MercurySwordz]

Appears that his grandfather started this build and his sons have been working on it ever since. Just for reference, 10,000 days is equal to about 28.5 years I believe. So that's quite a long build.

[@Zijn-nj6ql]

Amazing job 👽🖌!

[@dennismuller4971]

1:45 is a leroy hutson so in love chop

[@littlecarnage1143]

Looks really great! You pay so much attention to the background and „story“ of the diorama, I simply have to point this out: why are there still dead fire warriors inside the ship, if the survivor obviously buried his comrades in a cemetery? ;-)

[@AustinLindstrom]

Two of the army guys should've been sat next to each other to tell the silent story of best friends.
