Making a Miniature Link Click Time Photo Studio

[@KimasM]

"most of this will not be seen at the end" feels like a catchphrase at this point

[@MechanicalFiend]

It absolutely is... I will say that you can actually see more of the interior in life than on camera though, so it wasn't completely unnecessary this time!

[@elilaw5416]

"If there's no struggle is it even crafting" is way too real. 🤣

[@MechanicalFiend]

The struggle always comes around at some point, it always comes!

[@CrankyPantss]

All of those interior details that you think will never show are not wasted. We’ve seen them and know that they’re there. They make the building complete instead of being just four outside hollow walls. The interior details and the stories behind them give the building a soul to go with the outside shell. Very impressive job, as always.

[@azteclady]

This is absolutely marvelous! And yes, your restraint on not going full-in on the second floor is beyond admirable.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh you're too kind, so happy you could enjoy it, of course! Definitely think doing the completely unseen second floor would have been overkill hahaha, gotta reel it in at some point~

[@aminayasminhussain2957]

So happy you posted!!! Your miniatures are unbelievable 😍

[@MechanicalFiend]

Thank you so much, that's too kind ahhhh 💜 So glad you can enjoy the builds~

@@MechanicalFiend Always, it looks amazing!!

[@gsa7970]

Dear Mech, Your are the Queen of Trash Goblins and I mean that in the best possible way. The way you up-cycle materials is inspiring. As far as your question at the end. I am a ship/vehicle person so I would enjoy watching you make ships or vehicles from whatever anime you enjoy. Another great build.

[@BeeAndHerPuppycat]

Maybe this is a weird thing to comment (I'm not parasocial, I promise) but I noticed that you seem really happy and confident in this vid. You're being less critical of yourself and just have a twinkle in your eye! Ya love to see it

[@MechanicalFiend]

Not at all, that's very nice of you to say! To be honest I'm usually pretty happy in the videos haha, but I don't really know how it comes across. I know I critique or joke about my work often, but that doesn't mean that I'm not happy with it- just noticing where improvements can be made. I think that can sometimes come across as negative, but that's not the case most of the time! Really glad to hear this one felt more positive though~

[@BeeAndHerPuppycat]

@@MechanicalFiend Of course! I hope *I'm* not coming off as critical. I always enjoy your content and you don't, by any means, seem sad or unhappy in your other vids. Have a great day!!

[@CeFurtado23]

Oh wow link clink has been on my to-watch list forever, this definitely made me want to watch it even moreeee

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yesssss! Totally recommend, it is fantastic, just make sure you're in the right headspace when you watch because it really deals with a lot of heavy topics, especially in season 2!

[@turmoilinthecytoplasm]

never would have thought to make the palm tree style plant leaves like that. side note: LOVE the SHINee shirt

[@MechanicalFiend]

It's a little bit like certain kinds of fake Christmas trees I think, they assemble by layer! Pretty simple and works well! And thank you thank you, love SHINee~

[@carrie4910]

Well now i need to make little plants with my grass tufts coz CUTE!

[@MechanicalFiend]

If you're working at the right scale, they work really well! Super easy way to make a little plant!

[@hernanhernandez6567]

This is insane! You showed some real restraint to not do the 2nd floor! The rest of the detail work looks great! You blew my mind with how simple it was to make the first chair you showed. Lol This looks like a pretty interesting anime. I may need to give this a watch

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha had to stop myself, the second floor definitely would have been overkill I think! Actually that chair surprised me too, I was trying to think of how to simplify the pieces on the interior as much as possible and realized that one could all be one piece. Saved a lot of time! It's really good if you're interested, I was particularly impressed with the soundtrack of the show, they used some fantastic music~

[@doofashen1476]

As a huge link click fan i love this buidling!! it actually looks like the building in the show also the hanzi looks really good

[@MechanicalFiend]

I am so glad this reached someone that watches Link Click! Thank you so much, the building has such a cool design, it was a blast to build! Definitely a tricky style to get right because the animation style is quite distinctive~

[@Codex_of_Wisdom]

For the future - a box cutter is the best non-heat way of cutting XPS foam. (Just be sure to cut in multiple passes.) Love the build. I'm not familiar with the show, but it sounds intriguing.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes! I have seen a lot of videos and know a box cutter would be good, but I actually don't have a box cutter that extends long enough to be able to cut through something this wide. That's why I went for the hobby saw! So glad you could enjoy regardless of knowing the show~

[@siliinnorway]

I love watching you singing along to the music. It's adorable!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha it is a huge and very necessary part of the process, that's what I'm doing most of the time while working!

[@MechanicalFiend]

​@@MechanicalFiendWe actually watched both seasons of Link Click in two days off the back of this build, haha. Great build and a brilliant show 😊

[@botti2910]

I have just rediscovered your channel after I watched your Bag End video because I wanna do something similar. And i must say i am so impressed and glad to see the growth of your channel! I remember when you were pressing real plants to use for your greens and i was always amazed on how you made so many cool things with a low budget and now you’re here, using foliage and chalk dust and have so many patreons and do your own patreon challenges and i feel so happy and proud because you f*ing deserve it! 🎉 Your videos always have such a cool style and you put so much effort into them and I love every detail and even feel a tiny bit jealous because you’re doing such a great job 😂😊 keep going! ❤

[@MechanicalFiend]

I am so sorry to take ages to respond to this, wishing you all the luck with your Bag End project! And oh my goodness I appreciate that so much! I actually still use pressed plants all the time and am very much on a low budget haha, but Neil from Real Terrain Hobbies sent me over a bunch of cool actual model making stuff to try out, which I am super grateful for! And honestly it constantly blows my mind how much support I have received from everyone, ahhh thank you for saying all of that really. I hope you keep going as well my friend 💜 if you ever want to share one of your projects, I always love to see them~

[@terrancethayer124]

Your fabrication skills continue to amaze me. Thanks again for providing a great video to watch and to learn from.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Every build seriously teaches me so much more, you really do learn with every project you do! Not at all, thank you for spending some time crafting with me~

[@RvnKnight]

D., thank you for this. Today marks another cycle around the sun for me, and that usually brings back memories and such, so a video about a place where you are able to see memories from a photo seems spot on. Your work is phenomenal, as always! I hope you and yours have a great day and upcoming weekend! And yes, I will have a wonderful birthday thanks to the timing of this video.

[@MechanicalFiend]

No way! It's my mom's birthday today as well, happy birthday! Ahhh I do think being able to see back into photos would be so nice, just for nostalgia purposes, kinda like having a little video of the memories to look back on. Thank you so much for all the super kind words, really glad you could enjoy it and so happy to get it to you in time for your birthday! Hope you have the best day and weekend as well~

[@MechanicalFiend]

You know I haven't seen Black Clover, but looking this up the hideout looks super cool! Not sure if I will make that specifically, but there is something on my list that is just slightly similar to that!

[@Onlygloo]

I can't say and repeat how much I enjoy discovering each of your creations. It's truly a special moment, every time I receive a notification from your channel. On the Anime side, I'm not too much of a fan, but I recently discovered, finally, a series that I love and which is probably dated, from a specialist's point of view. No matter! If some people don't know it, I'll share it anyway. It's called: Frieren, and it's a scriptwriting gem, with a brilliant narration, just like the script, whose message is really profound. In short, I love it!🙂

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhhh stop, that makes me so happy to hear! So glad you can enjoy everything! Oh yes! I have heard lots of good things about Frieren, but never watched it myself. Definitely will keep it in mind for a future watch, thank you so much for sharing~

[@Onlygloo]

​ @MechanicalFiend You're welcome, really. Regarding Frieren, I thought you've already seen this show (I thought I was the very last to discover it, actually! ;o)). You really must put this on top of your list! I'm sure you'll love the story. it's about a mage elf who's been questing for years alongside a group of human adventurers. The series plot is about their relation with each other and Frieren ; as an elf being almost immortal, she sees her human friends aging and eventually dying while she's still in her prime. It's very moving and profound (there's also lighter and humorous moments tho, don't worry ;o)). I've never seen or heard about a story using this theme as its main plot, even though I've been playing cRPGs for decades. It's a unique take on the subject and treated on the elf/immortal perspective! I absolutely love this series, and it's available on Crunchyroll for free (with the ads annoyance, of course).

[@Onlygloo]

@@MechanicalFiend Oh, and by the way, I forgot to add that I discovered this Anime thanks to a YT channel called Rachel and Jun. That's a channel I urge you to take a look at since it's a channel dedicated to cat lovers ;o) and I know how much you love cats* (*just like me and many of your followers, I'm sure of that).

[@cat3crazy]

Wow, what a great miniature build! I'm always impressed with your skills making the tiny details. The thing about items not being seen, they are seen. It may be a corner of a piece of furniture, the green of a plant, or just something that says, an object is here. It would not look the same if you didn't add the interior details. I'm sure that you know this and you're poking a bit of fun at yourself. I always enjoy watching your videos. I will interrupt what I'm watching when I get a notice that you have posted a video.
