Miniature Bakery from Kiki's Delivery Service in a Cookie Tin

[@elilaw5416]

The tiny details brings me so much joy. I've never been so delighted to see a little piece of cardboard turned into a chain.

[@MechanicalFiend]

I was seriously thinking about that chain for days and when I worked out that solution, it brought me quite a bit of joy as well haha. Turned out much better than expected! So so happy you could enjoy~

[@DeadSound]

Just finished up a night of work, snuggled up with my cat, and found you’d uploaded another Ghibli project. Just the peace I needed! ^_^

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh every night is the best night when you can cozy up with your cat, hope you could enjoy it!

[@PersonTP]

oh didn't expect you here, love your projects. :>

[@grant8653]

It is my 6 year old sons favorite movie ever. He watches it at least twice a week and giggles the whole movie.

[@MechanicalFiend]

This makes me so happy, he picked such a wonderful film to be obsessed with!

[@terrancethayer124]

Excellent as usual. Thank you for this! I love Kiki!

[@MechanicalFiend]

So glad you could enjoy, definitely a very fun and detailed project! Of course always fun to work on anything Ghibli related~

Always nice to see a new vid out

[@MechanicalFiend]

Apologies for the long waits as always, this was quite a complex build and of course I'm always complicating everything in the edit by adding extra things as per usual haha. Hope you can enjoy regardless~

[@sleepystars10]

wow, to say the detail in this is insane would be an understatement. great addition to the shelf! and glad to see the return of the ghibli cookie tin. your cinematography skills grow with every video, so excited for the next one!

[@MechanicalFiend]

It was a surprising amount of work to make all the tiny pieces that go on the shelves! It looks faster in the video because a lot of the work happens off camera, but every little piece had so many components to make. Thank you so much for the super kind words, I am incredibly honored you thought so! Always trying to learn and improve the videos as much as possible~

[@wolflower666]

i love how cozy your videos make me feel, and as a lover of fake food, this brought me so much joy! such a beautiful creation as always 💖

Your dedication and attention to details (even unseen ones) has always been astonishing and only getting better. We need to get you into the miniatures department of a major movie studio. Kudos on another home run Mech.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Somehow it seems that I'm often drawn to projects with copious details (though, honestly that's most miniatures)... and then I end up having to work on it for months haha. Gotta maybe do some simpler projects once in a while as well. Ahhh well that is all so very kind, thank you! It would be a dream to work on some kind of miniatures for a film one day~

[@KinnesonVoid]

Fantastic job as usual! I love bakery scenes so much, and Ghibli is also a favorite!

Ahhh you are too kind, really glad you could enjoy it! Yes! Tbh anything with mini food is such a blast, loved working on all the little baked goods haha~

[@eoojeda1056]

It's incredible to see every detail you make in each of your pieces. The attention to each one is simply fantastic. 😊

[@MechanicalFiend]

When you start really looking at a lot of Ghibli scenes, you start to realize there are simply so many beautiful details to see! Always makes them particularly fun (but time consuming) builds! Thank you so much for the super kind words my friend~

omg finally someone else who also loves tacky glue it's actually so underrated I've tried a couple other glues like random super glue (I'm very scared to use it though so I don't) and e6000 (but my tube is glued shut so if I want to use it I have to poke holes in it, and it gets very messy) but I always end up just using tacky glue hehe edit: just finished the video IT'S SO CUTE OMLLLLL your minis are incredible

[@D_ytAcct]

Gosh, all the pastries and bread are so fancy when they're added.to the shelving

[@blanchesr]

I used that masking tape when I studied art!! You have to paint over the area were the line is gonna be with the base color, wait til it's dry, and then put your desired color for the line on top (if it's see trough, paint a second coat). That way the bleeding won't be noticeable and you'll save lots of time!! :)

[@ondriaprice6140]

School's been so exhausting lately that I don't have the time for my favourite activites like making miniature versions of movies n stuff. So I'll console myself just by watching your videos ㅠㅠ

[@rachealgetscreative]

Ah, the teeny basket! The corrugated paper is so good for that. And I'd rather have bread than a purse, too, at any given moment. Wonderful project! I have ordered the Kiki book to read before watching the movie for the first time. (Still on my very slow quest to watch Ghibli movies.)

[@MechanicalFiend]

The basket was so fun, the corrugated paper made it so easy to get the texture! Yes, always would choose bread any day haha! Kiki is such a wonderful feel-good story, I'm sure you'll enjoy it so much! I actually haven't read the book for Kiki's, would be interested to know what you think of it~

[@LenaTate]

It’s so nice watching you put all the parts inside the tin at the end!

[@MaxRide1]

I'm with you on tacky glue, took me forever to try it but once you try it you do not go back (and yes, favourite glue is a thing lol) so happy to see the finished project (only a few minutes in so will edit when I see the end result!) Love the painting too! It's REALLY good! edit (as promised) - It's amazing and adorable and completely worth the wait!! The DETAILS! The MUSIC (sounds)! The TINY CAKES! The TINY STAINED GLASS! OMG!! YES! ALL OF THE YES!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes! Tacky glue is the best, I've gotten several comments about it in the past and knew I needed to give it a shot, but it took a while to get around to it. It's so much better for building things because it all sticks together and dries so much quicker! Ahhh so happy you could enjoy it and apologies for the super long wait, as per usual~

This is so cozy and beautiful! A tip so tape doesn't leak - paint a layer of your base colour overtop of your tape before painting in your stripes. this seals the tape so your accent colour won't bleed through.

[@Dagunsmith]

you are so talented with a heavenly singing voice! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@AuggsieBoggs]

You’ve probably heard this before, but a way to solve the issue with bleeding when using masking tape is to paint a second layer of the background colour in first. (On top if the tape) it fills in the air gaps where bleeding will occur, and you can go over it with your stripes colour to get a nice straight line! Aka: 1) paint bg colour on 2) place tape for stripes 3)paint bg colour where you want stripe 4) paint stripe colour where you want stripe 5) peel

[@Miscast]

You are so great at what you do and these latest videos have been magic.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh stop that's too kind, thank you always! And back to you as well, I've enjoyed all your recent videos so much! Always come away from them inspired by something new or unexpected that you're experimenting with. Hope your new workspace is treating you well~

[@Clarasnowbud.]

I love Studio Ghibli and in Kiki’s Delivery Service, a lot of the scenery is Inspired by “Gamla Stan” in Stockholm and “Visby” on Gotland, both are places in Sweden, where I’m from, and the cookie that was light and had a red-ish filling looks a lot like a Swedish classic cookie called “Hallongrotta”, it’s a really funny coincidence, you are so talented in making these miniatures and I love watching your videos!

[@rheamcdowell3498]

You are a very multi medium artist, with a beautiful singing voice.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh my goodness you are too kind, thank you so much! I think miniatures are inherently multimedia projects for the most part, that's what makes them so much fun to work on~

@MechanicalFiend I'm a miniaturist myself. Therefore, I know what it is like. I realized that being one gave me so many different artistic talents. I love your work.

[@hernanhernandez6567]

Another great project. Love the use of the sponge for the final bread texture. It gives it that extra layer that makes it look good!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes, the sponge ended up working quite well for the texture! Makes it a bit more uneven like how bread cooks! And the makeup sponges are easy to cut to tiny shapes and sizes, which is great for miniatures. So glad you could enjoy, as always 💜

[@MuppetMissile]

if you want to avoid bleeding with tape, you can 'seal' the tape edges with the original colour (yellow, for example, with the wallpaper), then paint over it with the colour you want - that way any initial bleeding is the same colour as the background. It's a trick i learned for actual wall painting, but i bet it works just as well for crafts! 😅

@@MechanicalFiend I think desynched audio is my biggest pet hate (to the point where sometimes I'll queue up in different tabs, the same video and mess around with the timings until the 2nd one's sound matches the first one's video... I realise that's a little insane but it eases my brain). So I 100% agree with you that mediocre sound can break the immersion completely whereas mediocre video can be more acceptable (and can always be lifted through editing as well). Love your attention to detail in all things on your channel - just as much detail in the making as in the editing - you ROCK!
