This is a literal piece of art. Playing with it would be just the most amazing experience ever

[@TheCraftingDen]

It's really immersive yes! Thank you

[@vladyslavtkach2209]

Agree, great job! Tiles look wonderful! I didn't get why the Mars board is not painted as mars instead of the base orange color, which I find dull. And how do you mark your forests? I can't see the places designated for placing player cubes :( Apart from these two, the result (and the process) looks great! I even learnt something new

[@gergopool]

I am a bit shocked this video was not yet honoured by the youtube algorithm. The content and the editing are great, absolutely quality footage. Keep it up, a few more videos like this and the channel's gonna grow big :)

[@TheCraftingDen]

Thanks! I'm taking muuuch longer than expected for the next video! But I'm working on it! :)

[@GermanArchitect]

I can only sign this comment. The effort you put in this video and the level of quality you reached is far beyond most million view channels. Awesome!

[@TheCraftingDen]

Maybe one day! I'm almost done with the next one, I'm pretty happy about how it's turning it and today I found a 15th century church where I am gonna try and get permission to film the reveal of the project on the altar! To give the "medieval" boardgame video I'm working on a fitting reveal!

[@Redskies453]

I think the algorithm disproves of the upload frequency. Quality here rather than quantity.

[@TheCraftingDen]

@@Redskies453 Yeah, I would've uploaded sooner, but then my gf was in an accident, and she helps a lot with filming as well, and then a lot of stuff at work got me really frustrated, so motivation was lacking and gf had to get better first!

[@jillianbaer2667]

This is incredible! Thank you for walking us through such an huge project. This is one of my favorite games of all time, and as an artist it was such a pleasure to watch it come to life in your hands.

[@TheCraftingDen]

That's so nice to hear! I've been struggling getting the next project finished, a lot going on and I've been lacking the motivation to continue but comments like this really make my day and motivate me to continue!

[@daodude5515]

Absolutely stunning!

[@yusufkarabacakoglu9281]

Woah this looks amazing. The water details on greenary tiles, oceans with translucent resin and many more. More amazing than those is how you put so much effort to create them. Great job, great energy >

[@TheCraftingDen]

Thank you! Appreciate it!

[@teriyakitaki]

Outstanding!!! I’ve had issues sanding PLA - but I never thought to wet sand it…. I’m going to try that next time. And I love your setup so much that it’s giving me all sorts of ideas for my own space. This is fab :)

[@TheCraftingDen]

Thanks! I Appreciate the kind words and I'm happy that I've inspired you! Wet sanding makes a huge difference, and use sanding sponges, it made a huge difference in speeding things up for me.

[@JacekStromeckiKietnaQuTak]

I'm not fan of plastik elements in board games (I prefer wooden elements) but the amount of details and work You have put in this project is just outstanding. Very impressive results. I envy You playing this version of TM, I really do. :-)

[@TheCraftingDen]

It's even more fun if you add some metal disks in the bottom to make them weighted, then they feel as heavy as wood! But I get ya. Wood is awesome. I hope to learn a bit of woodworking to add it in my projects one day!

[@MarcinEstkowski]

Just WOW!

[@Beshozyajstvennoe_Mylo]

It's just amazing!!!

[@trygvij1604]

@@TheCraftingDen Already did! :D You checked all the boxes for me as an creator! Also this video resonated with me deeply because I've got a FDM and SLA printer and I adore Terraforming Mars! Such a great game. In my first game me my brothers and a friend played together and we all ended with points sitting on 117 except for one player which got 116. We were pretty mind blown.

[@TheCraftingDen]

@@trygvij1604 I know right?! You never really know who's winning, and then when you THINK you know, the end score is very often super close! That's the fun thing about this game, so many things to do to get points, and somehow it always ends up really close!

[@nichegames9590]

Wow, big fan of this. Clearly no short cuts in a video like this.

[@TheCraftingDen]

Haha it's a lot of effort indeed!

[@trafficjam415]

OMG - this is AMAZING what you've done. I love the end result SO much.. wonderful job! I wish board games were always made with such level of detail, and I'd be willing to pay that much more for them! Water tiles ARE amazing, but so is all the rest. I missed if you put in magnets in the "base" or "main" board?

[@TheCraftingDen]

In the 4 pieces of board, there are magnets to keep the 4 pieces together! The tiles themselves, fit snuggly into the hexagon openings of the board so no need for magnets! Thank you for the super kind words, it's really motivating to hear someone talk so nicely of my work! Thank you!

[@Dassinn]

Wow 😮

[@TheTommyFrench]

Excellent video! Loved the content, the music, and the presentation. I have heard of this game but never played it before, and now I might pick it up! I personally would have liked to see more of your detail painting process, but that may just be me. Also if I may make one small suggestion: look into the camera lens when you are addressing the audience. It will feel like you’re making eye contact and be more engaging. Subscribed!

[@TheCraftingDen]

I will take that into consideration for the next video! I just need to figure out a good way to film more detailed stuff. I created a stick to put over my shoulder, with the camera on one end, the mini on the other, and then have some really nice and crips close up shots of the mini being painted, but I'm not 100% happy with the result, I'll keep at it and glad to have you on board!

[@centaur900]

Once upon a time I secises to print and paint Catan. It took me almost 1,5 year to finish project. Mad respect for you, lad!

[@TheCraftingDen]

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon! That's what I keep telling myself, if you push yourself too hard, you won't enjoy your hobby anymore!
