I’m gonna use this idea for a cauldron!! Thanks so much 😁

[@Tabletopbasement]

Nice Idea, thanks for the Video!

[@Nat1videos]

No problem! Thanks for watching. How are things in the basement?

[@CandyMachineStudios]

Why did the wine tasting absolutely send me 😂😂

[@Nat1videos]

lol

[@DafyddRoche]

An amazing build, as always, Michael, few bits from my experience to help out - you can use, Kapton tape as a thermal insulator, it’s normally used in soldiering to protect plastic connectors from getting too hot. Also, if you’re concerned about the heat going through the metal cap to foam also wood, then you could isolate it using a ball bearing or a drawing pin, whichever minimizes the contact area to the cap, while still providing support.

[@Nat1videos]

Thanks man! These are some great suggestions, which I will certainly be trying out!! Hope you have an epic 2024 bro ;)

[@glihobbydimichele]

Very nice bro! Easy and cheap!

[@Nat1videos]

Best combo ever ! haha. Happy New Year ;)

[@MisfitHobbies]

This is such a great idea

Cheers! And happy new year, thanks for watching :D

Nice trick!

It’s these small inspired details that make you stand out! Thank you for inspiring me in turn.

Ahhh thanks so much for saying so! I really appreciate that... and its comments like this that make it all worth doing! I am glad what I do is useful :D Happy new year, I hope you have an epic 2024

Glad it was useful :D

[@microforgeminis]

Who says you can’t smell a video!? This is an awesome idea and it is integrated so seamlessly to the rest of the build. Lovely little video to bring in the new year!

[@Nat1videos]

Right?! We need to sort out some smellovision ... surely technology is at that stage now ! Happy new year man, hope 2024 is epic for you and yours ;)

[@victorflietstra631]

This is brilliant! I have played around with modified vapes to create smoke, but the glycerine I used made things really sticky and was just a hassle to handle. This looks so much simpler and a much better bang for your buck, thanks for the idea.

[@Nat1videos]

Yeah, this works really nicely! The one down side which I should have mentioned is ash disposal, but you can simply remove the little unit and tap it off in the sink and wash it away... so not too bad. Hoping you have an epic 2024 !! ;)

I figured that’s how! It turned out just perfect!!! The chimney cap is a really nice touch, and I love how it gives it top access but stays protected!

[@Nat1videos]

Thanks mate! Yeah, now I gotta think of some other neat applications...

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Awesome idea, love how simple it is 🙂

[@mykehill44]

@@Nat1videos same to you! I've been crafting tabletop terrain for a few years now, and this is the first time I've seen something like this! Using incense as smoke, genius!

[@Nat1videos]

Awesome! Lets see if it catches on haha@@mykehill44

[@---we1ok]

Already loving the little single-topic videos. Incense is a great idea for effects like this.

[@Nat1videos]

Glad you like them! More to come, all being well. Happy new year ;)

[@ItsQuiteCool]

Amazing idea! Fits right in, both physicaly with a snug fit and aestheticaly matching the rest of the house 🙂 Perfect addition to the build

[@Nat1videos]

Cheers dude! I'm pretty happy how it fits in. Nice concept for other terrain too ... can imagine some smoking debris using the same technique ! Happy new year by the way. Hope 2024 is an epic year ;)

[@ItsQuiteCool]

@@Nat1videos Oh definitely! A lovely calming aroma after your homestead's been burnt down by raiding Uruk-hai and Dunlendings 😂 Happy new year to you and your family and right back at ya Mike, can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2024!

[@MikeOldani]

Neat idea. Teenagers from the 90s held this technology for.. alternative smoke effects purposes. Incense is smart, and basic aluminium foil would do the trick too :)

[@echodelta2426]

very cool idea. not only does this add realism to the diorama, but it will help make th room smell better 🙂

[@Nat1videos]

haha yeah, It does smell good!! Gotta choose the right incense though ... Thanks for watching l:D

[@Huntsmanlance]

Great idea Michael...thank you for everything in 2023 and I hope you and your family have a great 2024!

[@Nat1videos]

Cheers Lance and also to you!!! :D

The easiest ideas are often the best ones! This is also a good occasion to thank you for all the fantastic videos this year and wish you a healthy, happy new year. Wet greetings from Germany, Thomas ☔

Yeah, keeping it simple is always the best option... and often cheapest lol! Hoping you have an awesome 2024 :D

More proof that our technology is smelling us.

[@primetime8634]

Isn't it to hot at the bottom of the lid?

[@Nat1videos]

Yes... But in this model it is sitting on a cross of MDF with low surface contact! However , that is a good observation and my friend Dafydd made a great suggestion in the comments of using an insulating tape. Have a scroll through the comments ..... I may do an update video at some point. Thanks for watching, Happy new year :D

[@primetime8634]

@@Nat1videos Ok. With MDF it's ok. I craft with XPS foam. There I need some kind of cover for the lid. But it's a great idea. Thanks.

[@Nat1videos]

So this is the tape I was talking about... it should protect foam ;) kzbin.infoRtaPzEDFOls

[@AngelusNielson]

I like the idea, it looks great.. but for two things. I'm allergic to incense... plus you probably should be very careful about burning things in your model builds.

[@Nat1videos]

Ohhh thats a shame! Yeah, taking care is essential! Thats why I used the tin and metal bottle cap. Gladly that create plenty of insulation for the amount of heat generated. Thanks for watching :D

[@AngelusNielson]

@@Nat1videos Oh I know, you were careful. I was more referring to the guy who would just wack it in willy-nillie.

[@TopGGGGGGGG.]

@@AngelusNielson yeah it’s a good point, I should probably make the health and safety aspects a bit more clear! I will keep this in mind next time, thanks ;)

[@AngelusNielson]

@@TopGGGGGGGG. no worries. Fortunately for me, I can look at the effect on video and go "That's cool." oh and by the way I've seen people do this kind of thing with broken down vape-pens. But that's essentially a mini smoke machine...
