[@Palaemon44]

@@ilvaporizzatoreYes! years ago there was a lovely little diorama in Fine Scale Modeler magazine of an old school Mom and Pop model shop from his childhood. The builder used very small scale models, 1/700, 1/2500 etc, to represent the finished model kits on display. Doll house and scratch-built items comprised the fixtures, and scaled down printed kit boxes and magazine and book covers filled the shelves and racks. Quite charming.

Thanks and sorry. I should have announced the project before starting. I only expected it to take less time. What a naive. 😅😅

[@Miniac]

What an incredible amount of work! The end result is beautiful, David. I'm sure you and your family are going to love living there. Thanks for recording it all and showing us. I feel spoiled to get to watch a multi-month long process in only 50 minutes! Welcome back!

As an Architect I thought I knew about most construction types and techniques...but I really enjoyed seeing the "new to me" materials and methods of construction used in other parts of the world. Great work! And awesome job by taking this on yourself!

Your miniature painting is unbelievable. The guy in the video looks like he's alive!

[@chrumczyk5494]

Man, I feel you like nobody, I live in Poland, bought myself an apartment on the 4th floor, 65m2 and I've been doing some work all the time. Carrying all that BS from the 4th floor and getting materials up there without a bloody elevator was just mind numbing. Happily I'm at the end for now. Good for you that you have your own space now :)

[@idaemonplasmo]

I understand you, and I appreciate your effort. The 4th floor sounds painful.

[@chrumczyk5494]

@idaemonplasmo Yep, but I didn't have a lot of deconstruction. More redoing the walls and painting :)

[@guidoseifert5679]

Man, i feel with you. I've done this now for four years to a hole house. Ripped off wood-ceilings, lot's of wallpaper, did wiring, whacked off tiles, floors, furniture... you did a man's job!

[@thedolt9215]

Your exceptional craftsmanship extends to remodeling as well as modeling! Great job, my man!

[@lunhil12]

I did this work professionally as a young man. You've done an excellent job turning that old space into a beautiful modern apartment. Bravo.

[@Madagon367]

Good stuff. Moved into a '61 German house after my grandparents passed away. We completely renovated that too including the super tiny bathrooms and the 'interesting' electric wiring. Feels like going back watching this one.

[@EugeneZharikov]

In this video - I’m making some extra holes, filling the gaps with plaster and perform other minor modifications…. Glad that you’re back! I was worried)))

[@adamjohnson6642]

Wow David, you certainly have been incredibly busy with your renovation project. The whole build has been amazing to watch and your certainly a man of many talents and skills including your partner who has helped too. This has been great to follow with you, sending you lots of best wishes and happiness in your new home. I look forward to your future model build projects when you’re ready. Congratulations on your hard work. 🎉😊

[@marnez_]

Nah our man dissapear just to bring up to us the biggest and most realistic diorama he ever made 😎

[@colonelsanders1611]

Good to see you're building even if it's not plamo! Just like with your other builds, I can't wait to see the results. Keep us posted. Stay safe and healthy.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Having done a few kitchens, bathrooms and whole house renovations myself, I know it's always way more work than you think it's going to be. You did a great job there, well done 🙂

[@Models-live]

Я очень рад что ты вернулся, я буду ждать от тебя куча новых роликов и крутых диорам.

[@Marcanosky]

David. I'm glad you started making videos again. I looked at the reconstruction of your apartment and shook my head in disbelief with my wife. You are perhaps from another planet. Your precision and patience is admirable. I started modeling again thanks to you because your videos are so inspiring. Now I will hopefully learn heating, masonry, plumbing and electricity. :D And you live well in the apartment with your family. I will be very happy if you start modeling again or anything else. And you are doing well. Your admirer and fan. Martin

[@hackeruman1471]

That is great to hear, that you are alive! You got me into models (about 9 months ago) and since then, you were my favorite KZbinr to watch!

[@fredko7086]

Happy for you. As it looked pretty old before you went into making all the work. It is always a pleasure to install oneself, at last, after long months of hard work, in a new home. You must really, really feel better and happy now. And you went through quite a bunch of work to do! Great job, almost as great as with your model kits.

[@modcon8297]

David, I've followed your model-making for years now and your work in that regard is wonderful, often leaving me thinking "How does he manage to do that?" This project, however, only serves to remind me that there aren't sufficient words in the English language to describe what I've just watched. Your skills - all of them, from what you learned in school, the things you've learned from modelling and self-teaching yourself how to do things from the internet - just came together in perfect harmony to produce this wonderful outcome. I wish you and your family well and hope you really enjoy living in your new home. I look forward to you returning to us mortals with a plain, straightforward build of a model kit! 🤣🤣

[@idaemonplasmo]

Thanks. We have been here already for four nights, and it is a huge relief that everything is done and that we can live normal lives again. I also started making models again. I had minor withdrawal symptoms. 😅😅

[@modcon8297]

@@idaemonplasmo That's great news, I'm pleased you're all settling back into 'normal' life. Perhaps in time, you would share the layout of your new modelling area. I can't imagine you did all that wonderful work to your house and didn't plan for a new area for working on your kits... best wishes 🙂👍.

[@bikerbillable]

Excellent work David. Loved the voiceover, the way you included all the usual terminology like 'heavy weathering', 'minor modifications' and 'surface imperfections' was true genious. Well done and I can't wait to see the first model you build there.

This has got to be the *best* model you've made yet! The detail is insane, panel lines are beautiful, and of course, the "minor modifications" are a great touch! But in all honesty, great job on the renovations, congrats on the new place, and glad to see you back! Have a great day! ❤️

[@zulerodoeht329]

An OUTSTANDING job, having been in the construction industry since 1985 myself (San Antonio Texas, USA), you did a great job.There were days I wish I had helpers that worked that hard. The bags of concrete alone are back-breakers.

[@jackbraun3234]

Hi. Like you, I renovated an old flat in Poland, replacing floors, windows, bathroom and kitchen. The hardest part was replacing the old bathtub with a new one. Lifting the old bathtub up the stairs was unforgettable. Luckily I didn't have to do the walls. You did a huge job all by yourself. Well done!

Do I understand correctly that the neighbors were covering the electricity bills for everything used in that room? 🙂 If that’s the case, you should have considered moving your washing machine, dryer, and other appliances there! Just kidding.

I’m in the US and have done/do a lot of DIY projects. Including building our family home with my Dad when I was a teenager….. I’m stunned at how DIFFERENTLY this apartment is compared to building methods in the States. Everything is studs and drywalls here. You live in a fort!!!

[@Jcush21]

Yeah, I was kinda surprised you could run cabling down the wall with no conduit like that. Those outlets seem pretty slick though. 🙂

[@DeLanScaleModels]

You did a great job mate, and its so satisfiying to build your own home by yourself. I did the same in 2007, i bought a house it was build in 1891 and last time modernized in 1973. It´s real interesting to see that you heaten your water vor the heaters with eletricity, here in germany this would be expansinve as hell.

I also learned electricity in HS. Around here we usually have plastic pipes between the boxes and then pass the cabling using a guide (or sometimes the old cable). The cable sections are the same 2,5 mm2 por sockets, i.e. 16 A per circuit. Lightning circuits can have 1,5 mm2 (10 A circuit breakers).

It's just another model...lifesize, lol.

Good to see you back David. I feel for you Amigo, Did the same thing to my tiny shack and added some rooms. good job, keep it up, it is modeling in full scale you could say.
