Miniature Sly Cooper Van DIY

[@StudsonStudio]

The long-fabled "Return of Halloween Mesh for a Project in October, But Not in the Way You Would Think." That was a really _bright_ idea by the way.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Perfect timing to take the Halloween out of the Halloween mesh... I feel like a monster, which is also perhaps quite fitting in October

[@swivelskittle3926]

Utterly adore this. Sly Cooper is my absolute fav game franchise ever in the history of ever!

[@MechanicalFiend]

In that case, super glad you could enjoy it, hope it did it justice!

[@athena1491]

youre making models of my entire childhood

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha, mine too! As time goes on, I think I start to appreciate different pieces of all of these things more and then want to make and learn from them! Hope you can enjoy them!

[@controllerpleb6568]

For someone who's "not a car person" you really nailed all the tiny little details that car people don't usually notice. Nice job with the details on the underside of the car by the way. For his lazy as you say you were being, you came surprisingly close to what's under a car lol

[@NicholasBuckArt]

THAT INTRO WAS AMAZING

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh really glad you liked it! Drawing is always a struggle for me so I wasn't too sure how it would turn out... so I really appreciate you saying that a ton~

[@lilybellevedere3991]

The fact that this intro BY ITSELF is so freakin' impressive, and then you did allllll the making ON TOP OF THAT?! Wow. Just WOW. Yet again, you blow me away. I always think of myself as creative, and then I watch you and think "I am simply a potato, with delusions of artistic grandeur"

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh my goodness not at all, I'm certain you are incredibly creative! Honestly, I'm only able to do things like this over a long period of time- I think it seems like a lot more when the pieces are together in this format. But I really do appreciate you saying that, thank you so much! I wasn't too sure about doing the intro because drawing is always a struggle for me, but so happy to hear that you liked it~

[@lilybellevedere3991]

@@MechanicalFiend The fact that on top of all the wonderful work you do, including the intro and of course your amazing making, on top of all of that, you always take the time to respond, and be so sweet and generous in the comments, really makes you one of my FAVOURITE creators! I hope you know how great you are, you marvel!

Ahhh the highest compliment, glad you think so! If it's good enough for them to potentially steal out of my back pocket, that's a success hahaha

[@Zoogore6777]

As a sly cooper fan, I have to say how amazing it was to see this made! You did fantastic!! My favorite game is Sly 2.

That is so Cool!! My favorite games are Skylanders, Sly Cooper, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Zack & Wiki, Super Mario Galaxy, Night's, Bella Sara, Luigi's Mansion 1 2 3, Overwatch, BattleBorn, Gigantic, Lightseekers, see you on your next video. :)

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh while I haven't played absolutely all of those, from what I can tell they're wonderful choices! So glad you could enjoy, always happy to reach other Sly fans~

if I were the one in those secions singing peacefully whilst crafting I would be head banging to rage against the machine

There's a lot of that too lol, I listen to a bit of everything. Love Rage!

[@archionblu]

I've always felt that I can't get into crafting like this because it's too expensive, or I'm not creative or talented enough. Your determination and creativity and use of household stuff really has helped inspired me to make something myself :)

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh my friend that is the best thing to hear, please if you want to make stuff, give it a try! You really do not need much to be able to build cool stuff! Even though certain materials can help make parts of the process easier, there is almost always a cheaper or more accessible solution that you can use instead! Wish you the absolute best with any future crafting and also thank you so so much for the support on patreon~

[@Irespawnoften]

I really appreciate how, compared to other model makers I watch, you just grab whatever happens to be in arms reach and work with that.

[@MechanicalFiend]

That is absolutely exactly what I do while building hahaha, if I can avoid buying something for a project that's always nice- using the stuff you've got is the best! You really don't need a lot to make something cool!

[@D_ytAcct]

"I've had this glue so long that it's become paste. It's not supposed to be paste" oh man, I was sorting out a box of old ink the other day and the amount of just, dried up bottles, that I'm going to have to just rehydrate or something. I know that feeling. Love your work - such patience with bits of card. The mesh ribbon on the lamp was a great idea too

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yeahhhhh, there's always a couple of materials that you need for a specific project and then using it doesn't come around again for a while. Either way, I still use them until it is not physically possible haha, even the lumpy paint! Thank you so much for all the kind words, you can honestly do a lot with just paper-based items!

[@robertgernon169]

You're getting so good at showcasing your work! The projects are always in depth, and the films of the final project are really well put together. Always a treat

[@MechanicalFiend]

That's honestly so encouraging to hear, thank you so much for saying that. Oddly enough I always feel like the more effort I put in, the more unsure I get every time posting- so that really does mean a lot. Thank you again, really happy you could enjoy~

[@ConjuredCraft]

Sly Cooper is the best! I love this build 💙

[@MechanicalFiend]

Totally, always have the best time playing them, such a cool style of games! Really glad you could enjoy it, thank you~

[@thepagan5432]

Cereal packets are such an underated resource. The cardboard is easy for manipulating to your ideas, for no cost. The finished job was really fantastic. Have faith in your abilities, I use bamboo kebab skewers for axles and other things too. Good post, thank you, I greatly enjoyed this one.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Absolutely, you can make almost anything out of just paperboard, it's so versatile! And of course it's always great to be recycling! Thank you so much for all the kind words as always, so happy you could enjoy~

The amount of details you go into, is just mind-numbingly insane, yet, very satisfying.

[@MechanicalFiend]

[@sunflowersAREnotCOQUETTE]

Hiiii, I’ve been watching your videos since The spirited away miniature and I wanted to comment a several times but didn’t. Now I got the courage to comment and I just want to say you inspire me and I am thankful that you put sooooooooooo much effort into your KZbin videos. I absolutely love all your crafts! Also the fact that you take the time to read and reply to every single comment people put under your videos personally makes me feel that you-care about your fans! Usually I love doing crafts but I just don’t get an idea on what to make it off. But when you post a video it encourages me to get my craft supplies and start making stuff. Plus usually you use a lot of stuff that is available at home to make your crafts, while a few other channels use fancy expensive stuff. Which makes me feel I don’t need fancy particular stuff to make my crafts and I can just use something else that is available. I’m sorry that I wrote such a large comment but I just want to say You are amazing and talented you also inspire so many people to get up and do something instead of binging on Netflix. You are amazing and I’m happy to see you grow so much!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh my goodness, well I really appreciate your comment so much, thank you! It's so lovely to hear that you could enjoy everything, I try to put as much effort as possible into the videos, so it means so much to hear that. I've been a little bit slow with comments lately because I've been so busy, but people taking the time to leave them means everything, so of course I do my best to reply! That's so great to hear, I've always found that you really don't need too much to be able to make something cool- the best material is the one you already have! Wish you the absolute best with all of your future projects and really thank you so much for taking the time to write such an incredibly kind comment, it means more than I can put into words. Ahhh I really feel like my heart could burst, wow thank you~

[@sunflowersAREnotCOQUETTE]

@@MechanicalFiend I’ll start commenting regularly on your videos! I know you will reach like 100million someday!

[@MrPhuselton]

your attention to detail using DIY materials and techniques is so hard to believe. i stopped complaining if i did without and realized that is how you exist in your builds. i have learned so much since watching and stealing ideas. i saved about $1,000,000 since watching and using your building methods. i changed how i view building now and i do not throw anything away. Sister hates you now.

[@MechanicalFiend]

I think I will say this until the end of time, but you really do not need much to make something super cool! Big apologies to your sister, I think it's best to keep things with intention- not every little piece will end up being useful necessarily. Only keep the stuff that you actually think you would build with!

omg the sly cooper games were my favourite games as a child and i’m still so excited whenever i see something related to it bc sometimes i feel like not much people know the game, this was really awesome, i’m definitely going to try and do the van, you nailed it!!

[@PortCharmers]

I very much enjoyed this build. Awesome how you nailed the shape by mainly just eyeballing it. And I like the approach to make use of plastic junk and not worrying too much if the shape is perfectly or just about right. My proudest car-build is a far simpler shape, something like a military off-road version of Preston's sheep-truck from "A Close Shave" (talking about fictional vehicles). It essentially a pair of plywood-boxes on a commercially available RC-chassis. However, since it remains an RC off-roader, it needs to be able to withstand a lot more abuse than your van, so I needed to spend some money (can't quite remember, but not really all that much) on tough materials for the main body. There is still a fair share of CD-cases, wire, beads, glass-head pins and suchlike to be found. My other vehicle-builds are mainly ships, and the one I enjoyed most was supposed to be a scale model of Turbinia, one of the most outrageously steampunk ships that ever were. However, there were no plans available when I started, so it shoved me down the "precision-guesswork" rabbit-hole. Keep up the good work, and all the others here who feel inspired, get cracking!

[@DanB.0]

I think the shape of the mirrors was really cool and they came out sort of perfect for what you needed. The whole van is great. And that you considered getting a nice surface for the inside floor when that's not even needed... that's what makes your projects outstanding. I love how you work and how you sing, although that's a different matter hehe I really hope to see more of your projects and I've been watching more of them lately!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Apologies for the very delayed response, but oh my goodness thank you so much for saying all of that! Honestly I try so hard to not care about all the tiny details that nobody will ever see, but it seems to be impossible for me... so here I am making invisible interior details lol. Really happy you could enjoy and hope all the future projects will be interesting for you as well~

Just in time. One of your videos to get me through the next month. It turned out so amazing. I doubt there's a person watching this that wouldn't want the van in their rooms. It's an epic piece of Art to add to your showroom. You've done houses, shadow boxes, music video sets, anime snapshots, the Grim Reaper in a cemetery and now awesome game vehicles. I guess next on the list would be a deep sea mermaid caught on the camera of an ROV from an oil company searching for new ground to break. Then you've done it all. You're an Unstoppable Force without Immovable objects in your way. And it's a breathtaking thing to behold. Thank you.

There will be another one coming for Halloween soon as well my friend! You are always so very kind, thank you for all the nice words, I appreciate them so much!

It’s fascinating to see you take these objects and apply some creativity to create something new out of them. I love recycled art, it’s amazing to see the things people can create out of the most mundane objects. That van looks amazing, I like that you went the extra mile to add details at the bottom of it even though they probably won’t be seen. These video make me wanna try some crafting myself, but working on my paintings takes every bit of my non-existent patience. Like always, great job on the video and the crafting. Big fan of your editing skills, love how everything fits together.

Recycling things into projects is one of my favorite things, it's so much fun to be able to figure out how to reuse things! Tbh I did the bottom because I was considering hanging it from my shelf with the Western Air Temple, so I figured I would see the bottom in that case.

Your delicate little crafting hand under that sawing saw gave me the stress. Cat playing with balloon gave me the stress also because they pop and I have ALWAYS hated balloons that werent helium. As a child, all I saw were explosives bobbing about. Bentley house minis has excellent chair tutorial. I commend you for the MILES you got out of an empty deodorant stick. You and Studson waste nothing. I see many potentials in things but I dont know what those things are to be. I am always so impressed with your work. So fun! And you dissected that 2d model!! Cant wait until the next video. Have you see League of Legends on Netflix? I think those pretty explosive butterflies are within your grasp! Happy holidays, internets friend!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha I apologize for all the stress that I didn't realize was in this video in that case. Not to worry, I'm quite good with saws and am always very careful! There are so many little interesting bits and pieces on packaging we throw away that are fantastic for miniatures, sometimes it helps to just take stuff apart and see where it might fit in a project! I haven't had Netflix for quite a few years now so I never know what anyone is talking about on that front haha, but it sounds super cool!

What a perfect way to finish this nice weekend! And yes, I waited for the flame airbrushing. :D

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh well I'm so glad to hear that, wanted to upload it on Friday but ended up having a ton of rendering issues! The flames were one of my favorite parts to do for sure!

[@JohnnyBoi7]

Great production value and super clean project 👌🏼

Thank you so much, really glad you thought so! Appreciate the kind words~

8:52 Did you cut out letters from sheet of paper and stick them to a car rear view mirror, for a 2 second shot? The whole thing is great, but this really got me. Well done.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes lol, I do this almost every video to have fun themed title cards! There is a reason that I don't post super frequently hahaha. Glad you liked it though, appreciate all the kind words~

[@Secho_0]

Just so you know, all i needed to say was DIY + Murrays fan in the thumbnail and you won a free sub.... Its not worth much but oh my lord thank you

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh my goodness no, it's worth a lot! Really happy you found yourself here and hope you could enjoy, thank you~

[@veronicafernandes112]

This is EXCELLENT work. I am amazed on so many levels. I love how you use recyclables (and other discarded objects not usually considered so), to create these pieces. ART.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh well thank you so much, trying to find little bits of trash that will work well is honestly one of the most fun parts! So glad you could enjoy, thank you again seriously, you are far too kind~
