Making a Huge Shire / Hobbiton Diorama with Weta Workshop's Hobbit Holes

[@wp5263]

If your guests aren't jealous when they see your diorama they must be spies of Sauron. So gorgeous. 10/10 Good sir!

[@Milky63]

Mind blowing. I believe Weta would love this. You’re not just a passionate collector, you’re a hell of a creative, hard working man. Great job, what a stunning giant diorama !

[@thecyberhobbit]

Really appreciate that! This project was a ton of fun and I learned a lot from it. Thank you for watching!

[@nymtes]

@@thecyberhobbit what kind of job do you do besides youtube? where do you get your energy time and money from to do these huge projects?

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@nymtes I'm a software developer. The energy / time / money comes from spreading it out over a looonngg time... this took me about 4 months to do, and I only had time to work on it during weekends.

[@JDgq3yj]

Nicely done! I wish Weta would make hobbit figurines in scale with the hobbit-holes that could be placed around the homes.

[@denizyesilbag9721]

Such an incredible job. This should have millions of views...

[@stevemuzak8526]

This diorama looks closer to JRR Tolkien original vision. He did a artwork of Hobbiton look. Well done! Stunning work.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thanks Steve I appreciate that!

[@dirkschulz7282]

Best handcrafted stuff i have ever seen, my skills ended in the idea phase :)

[@NerdyTreasures]

This is incredible. You’ve left no stone unturned here. You must and should feel very satisfied with your work good sir. Keep up it up!

[@bran7134]

Masterfully done, Ryan. If I had the room, this is definitely a project I would attempt to do as well. I'm a huge nerd and probably would try to 3D print a to scale Gandalf and Frodo on wagon with on looking hobbits and maybe.5 -.75" cutouts for the black bases to rest down into and be hidden from view once put into place. I thought about how good a painted wall background would look and maybe if it were done right with glow in the dark painted stars, etc that maybe that could be another avenue to explore. I love your automated day and night lighting set up, it's absolute perfection. Your imagination and creativity is AWESOME.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you sir really appreciate it :D

[@niallstranix5412]

FANTASTIC!!!!! I absolutely love this. Magical looking, especially with those lights. Very well done!! 👍

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you! Yeah I was hesitant about doing the lights as it drastically increased how long everything took but I think well worth it in the end. Thanks for watching!

[@SketchedbySte]

blown away as always. Especially liked the lighting feature. you're the man Ryan!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you sir!

[@antonellapatrickspiteri4999]

Simply the Best Lotr Hobbit KZbinr, a big well done dear friend, you are a blessing to all LOTR collectors.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you sir, while I'm not sure I'm the best, I'm really glad you enjoy the content. Your support means a lot, thank you for the comment!

[@shanewang8020]

This is AMAZING! WELL DONE RYAN! Weta should hire you, or better, open a workshop in your house

[@thecyberhobbit]

haha that's a dream!

[@n2darkness]

This turned amazing Ryan! The lanterns and the changeable light to simulate night and day just takes it to the next level! I was really curious where this was going to end up and it's a perfect choice in your hallway.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thanks man, you know me I always gotta do something with lighting. 😆 Yeah it really was the only spot left near the rest of my collection and although it does make the hallway a bit more narrow it's an easy sacrifice. Appreciate the comment!

[@robwalkden1]

Wow. Just…….wow.

[@toddscollectibles980]

Looks absolutely amazing!! Cant believe this is your first time. The video was so enjoyable to watch, showing the planning and build. My hat off to you for a fantastic job 😊

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thanks Todd! There was a lot of learning going on here and it took about 4 months to make (though mostly weekends). Really appreciate the kind comment! 😄

[@scottharrison586]

Amazing work, can't believe some of the techniques and materials you find to use in this stuff.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Yeah it was definitely a learning process on some things but a ton of fun!

[@billdaly59]

Outstanding work Ryan. Very well done sir. 👏 As always, very professional video. 👍

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you Bill!

[@picklebuckeye]

This is absolutely stunning!!!

[@Kipoltious]

Just wonderful!

[@ForsakenLineage]

Wow, another amazing project! Everything looks beautiful. Tempted to try a much smaller and simpler version of this that would suit a cabinet shelf.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you!! It was a learning experience for me and I think the process can be adapted to anything really, I think you should definitely give it a go!

[@jorgenlundin8100]

Looks amazing!

[@LotrCollection]

That looks so cool! Beautiful work 🙌🏽 I would recommend adding Games workshop Gandalf on Cart to this.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you! I actually do have him but haven't had the time to put it together and paint it, definitely on my to do list though

[@hessel851]

Your video's are so perfect! The ambiance, the audio, the everything! Please keep creating content like this

[@thecyberhobbit]

Really appreciate the kind comment, really means a lot to me. Thank you for watching!

oh my god is the most beautiful shire diorama I ever see, congratulations budy

[@fhqjklasdf]

Amazing work! Those LEDs looks great

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thanks, yeah it was a lot of effort but I think worth it in the end.

[@stephaniesmith1777]

How it looks in the dark with the lights is my favorite thing about this, wow!! Great job!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Mine too, very glad I detoured to do the lighting, it's hard to capture on camera but in person it looks really cool. Thank you for commenting Stephanie!

[@hugomcardoso]

This is simply stunning. Amazing work!

An actual incredible diorama ! It's a great use of the those mini hobbit holes, now you can even do wargaming on it xD !

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you!

[@Lolipop3634]

Ryan you are a Genius and a wizard because this is just incredible. This is a Weta level shire , I could definitely see this amazing work display at the weta Cave,,, fantastic job Ryan

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you Lolipop! I'm flattered but the folks at Weta are in a league of their own. Really appreciate you watching!

[@johnnyjensen7694]

[@18edu]

Incredible job mate! A mesmerizing Hobbiton!

[@BenjaminSchenk]

Legendary!! This is just perfect!! I love watching your videos.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Hey man thank you! It was a lot of fun to work on and learned a lot in the process :D I've actually been wondering what the state of your collection is... are you working on a new display?

[@BenjaminSchenk]

@thecyberhobbit I am still in the process of planning the building for the new space. Hopefully, I will have some news soon on the plan.

[@haasofprops]

Ryan the size and the scope of this is AMAZING!!!! Really fantastic job! I'm a little jealous of the space:)

[@FoldedSheet]

Absolutely outstanding, I love it! Great work, always dazzled to see an idea come to fruition so beautifully.

[@alexgaskin4723]

wow - this is incredible. Ryan, you're a genius.

[@toddtw33]

Incredible work, what a nice and relaxing journey before entering your collection room where the war of the ring is going on. Did you consider putting grass and dirt on the black bases of the hobbit holes or you didn't want to ruin/devalue them?

[@thecyberhobbit]

sorry missed this! Yeah that basically what happened, I'd love to hide the black but wanted to make sure the hobbit holes stay in good condition if I ever need to sell :D

[@DrFranklynAnderson]

Oh yay, you did get the big Bag End! Now you’ll have to make a vid at Halloween and Christmas with the seasonal versions of 16 Hill Lane and 35 Bagshot Row! 😉

[@thecyberhobbit]

Those are actually the only ones I don't have as it's so specific for just those few, to me it wouldn't go well with the rest. They are still pretty cool alone though.

[@TheHoaxThere]

I mean, you just continue to impress, whatever you do! You really are one of the coolest fans!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Really appreciate the compliment, thanks for watching!

[@lukejensen1457]

Did you do a review of Bag End?

[@AntonSooderlund]

Wow! This is mighty impressive. Well done!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you Alegoschou!

[@miroslawtracz3725]

Amazing My friend you are best

[@predathor558]

Best thing I have seen in a long time! And that lamps put it on different level, amazing. What about hiding of the bottom part of table by some curtain/blanket with Lotr/Shire theme? You can than use that hidden space for something... I would use that for storing statue boxes. :D And it would be awesome to paint that wall behind it. Map of Middle Earth, or something else. And maybe some ideas to add :D just ideas, not criticism :D Hedges, fences, field or bed for growing plants, tropaeolum (nasturtium) plant...that is flower I have connected to hobbit houses :D . I really like sunken way (holloway) especially when it is covered by trees from above. And little Gandalf on a cart crossing that stone bridge. :D I love it, you again suprised us. If you will continue this way, you next project will be real Hobbiton village, try Kickstarter. :D

This is insane, you are really talented. What a piece of art!!!!😮

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you David!

[@Momo_0_o]

What a great idea on how to extend your collection from the room. I see a lot of open wall space waiting to join the fun. I may have missed it but did you mention how many hours this was?

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you Momo! I'm not sure the hours, but I started it in January though have mostly worked only on weekends. It was a lot of work but a ton of fun. Thanks for the comment!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thanks Kai really appreciate that!

[@jamessolimine7102]

Absolutely beautiful. I wish I had room for one. I do want to point out that 1 Bag End is Not the address of Sam's Hobbit hole. That was an error Weta made which fans pointed out and Weta corrected by making 3 Bag End. At the end of The Return of The King you can actually see the number 3 on his mailbox. Otherwise, stunning work. I wish I was your neighbor. Take care

[@thecyberhobbit]

ha yeah I wondered about that... the bottom of the hole said 1 Bagshot Row but noticed that Weta's website only said "Smial of Sam". Thanks for the comment really appreciate it!

When you showed from going light to dark I just gleamed with happiness grinning ear to ear. You know how I feel about these hobbit holes buddy. A few more I need to complete until they make more again. Great video bud. Cheers, thanks for sharing this with us. 🥃🥃
