I’d just like to say that I’m depressed there isn’t 100 more of these videos to binge watch and draw inspiration from. LOVE love love your book nooks!

[@bertfechner417]

I just came from his Hogsmeade make and Nerdforge's Diagon Alley book nook

[@TyLeeslilsis]

Starting this video: [cries because of the music box Shire theme] Middle of the video: [Sings along to every word of the movie remix] End of the video: ... o.o oh shit I'm speechless. This is insane beautiful work! The things used for some textures would've never come to mind before.

[@julithewizards1358]

This looks gorgeous! And the illusion of fire: 👌 and those tiny figures.. 😮

[@johnmclane9965]

I started off today watching you create "The Hobbit Hole"...These have become increasingly addictive to watch. You are AMAZING my friend! How ingenious! I wish I had your talent (not to mention, the tools. LOL).

[@nataliegray8019]

1 dislike?! What blockheaded fool-of-a-Took would dislike this??? This is amazing! Nice work, my dude.

[@sheepashoo1509]

I cracked up at the fool of a took, i have been snickering for the past hour

[@sickerpuppies]

Professional clickers (usually working for a click farm) will throw around a few dislikes onto videos that haven't paid for their services to balance out all the likes they click.

[@circarmen]

Its not just 1 anymore

[@thedailygrateful6480]

Amazing! The mirror in the back is genius to give it so much more depth. Instant Sub for me. This channel needs to blow up!

[@MiscellaneousMcC]

Also Subbing with my main channel so I don't miss a thing!

[@GiftyPrincessy]

Gosh this was so cool!!!! I'm so impressed. 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌

[@Galadriel131]

Wow, what a kreative Spirit with music from the Hobbit and Lord of the Ring....very very nice👍👍👍 greetings from Germany

[@cleof1503]

Damn, those are some skills. What a awesome book nook.

[@guinnessman1965]

Awesome. I would love this to complete The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings book and video display that sits in the Livingroom that has the Argonath statue bookends with Gollum and Minas Tirith on each side. This would be perfect to complete the look. I loved the music, all the LotR subtly in the background. I kept saying..."That sounds familiar." then it hit me. That was great. Thank you.

[@onewhoserves8264]

I can watch this all day! I love how you reuse the extra foam that cut out as stones.

[@RainLongYoungFellow]

Excellent attention to detail! I've always been into wood working and carving but now I'm afraid you birthed a new habit.

[@drisanatonga1174]

Stumbled across the Harry Potter book nook and omg amazing! This one breathtaking the lighting and detailing just wow!

[@im_youknow_marty]

[@Thirikalee]

Really cool. The project is amazing and the editing is also great!

[@MeganJPenney]

You've got your own Weta Workshop going on.

[@0000syuable]

丸めたアルミ箔でヤスるって方法、初めてみました。 後、薄いレジ袋をドライヤーで熱してしわくちゃにする方法ｋクリーチャーの皮膚表現に使えそうですねえ！ いろいろ、なるほど、です！ で、これは指輪物語なのですね！いろいろ納得、 素晴らしいです！！

[@hammysauce]

Just found your channel! Keep up the beautiful work.

[@janineharris3601]

I wish I had the talent. Omg awesome.

[@lydianorai]

Wow that's awesome!

[@joaniemckinney970]

Is there somewhere that we can go to see the finished piece because the video bit of the reveal was too short! So Awesome! Love it!

[@TheProppingBlock]

[@damarisgaleano3645]

[@bellabuzz72]

This is so cool!! You are very talented! ⚡️✨

[@javivillarreal7008]

[@ita6901]

[@patricksilveri7688]

[@Arterexius]

[@speciallk5466]

[@marjac98]

Amazing! Fantastic! 12 of 10! Can you tell me where I can get the files for Frodo and Gollum?

[@the_RCB_films]

wish we had some in the dark shots but its still cool!

[@NastyaBloom10]

OMG!!!! This is amazing!!!!!!!! Could you tell me what did you use in the end (white staff like a porridge lol) please? Is this a PVA glue with something?

[@JYCrazy1]

This is immense! You should sell these

[@mfundomzolo4498]

[@BeautifulVampbabes]

[@TheProppingBlock]

Yup! It's @theproppingblock

[@janineharris3601]

Omg that is awesome

[@rosemariemichel7050]

Amazing!!!

[@eddiehedlund5962]

Love this as well as your Harry Potter one. Probably even more! I would like to make this for someone. Where did you get the 3d print files for the characters? I have a 3d printer, I just cannot find the files. P.S. I made the Harry Potter one and added a few other items. I would love to show you mine!

[@restezlameme]

Subscribed so fast. Materials list plz!

[@ellieelectro]

This is amazing! Can you list the supplies you used? Mainly the putty stuff, please. Ps. Nerdist just shouted you out

[@TheProppingBlock]

Thank you! The putty stuff is called sculptamold, I mainly used that and xps foam. Cheap fairy lights, epoxy resin, some grocery bags, a ton of paint, that's about it!

[@tashayoung9443]

SO cool 😎

[@flawsome3630]

Remember me when you get to a million subscribers 😄 cos you definitely will, in no time. Kudos to your talent.. (y)

[@anonthe-third2367]

This is fantastic! My only complaint is the music.

[@PaulSmyth]

Imagine butchering the amazing soundtrack to the Lord of the Rings? Such a shame

[@aurore7787]

Amazing!!!!!!!!! ❤️ I want mooooore

[@ginwilcox9555]

Fantastic!

[@bookscapes5995]

this is spectacular!

[@sarahhockley4967]

just watched the diagon alley and had to see this! I've gone to your Etsy but there are no prices listed. Totally understand if this is a custom job, but wondering on the price range?

[@sheepashoo1509]

What about second breakfast?

[@PetRatPro]

That looks fantastic! What is the white material you used for the wall? It looks like the same thing you used for snow in your previous nook and I imagine it would be quite useful to have.

[@TheProppingBlock]

Sculptamold! Really awesome stuff

[@joeypotargent9956]

Great work! Any more coming soon?

[@TheProppingBlock]

Yup! I'll have another up next week

[@ianjennings2595]

Such an amazing attention to detail and skill you have.. your work is incredible... how much in average does it cost you to make these?

[@adianimates]

What if you replace the normal mirror with an infinity mirror. This will give a great depth to the diorama.

[@antelopefreeway214]

Again, more full shots without the moving camera so we can get a good look at the finished item please. There are good shots at the start but its covered with the text. Thanks for this-- its very good!

[@yuukixcross123]

Beautifully detailed! What is the green foam? Ive seen it used a lot by crafters ❤️

[@mikaelalundberg6207]

Can you do a Peter Pan theme book nook? Byt this video is great!

[@John_Sharrock]

Mind=blown!

[@wonderwend]

In-feckin-credible

[@udorechner6846]

What a awesome and beautiful scene! wow that's magic. There is just one little mistake. At the time Frodo and Sam reached Mount Doom they wear old scuffed dirty and shabby orc-clothes and gear. Frodo was exhaused, weak and tired..

[@TheProppingBlock]

Yeah I know, that was just the closest looking 3D model I could find to be Frodo!

[@udorechner6846]

Well, thats o.K.! Thanks for your answer. @@TheProppingBlock

[@dashingirishlad]

What's the music playing? Is it available online?

[@Kanieos]

This looks awesome! Since I have no experience in building such stuff, but would like to try it, do you think this is possible for a beginner? If so, how much did you spend for the material you used?

[@TheProppingBlock]

Thanks! Yeah this is only the second one of these I made so it's definitely possible! Some familiarity with the materials definitely helps though! Material cost is hard to say since I had some stuff on hand already, it wasn't too much though.

[@Arterexius]

Foam board like the stuff used in the video, is usually not that expensive and neither are the wood sheets. The putty tend to be a bit more expensive, but it's always worth it. Considering he lacquered it, I'd say the paint used is acrylic (Acrylic paint isn't water resistant, but it dries very fast) and the tools are pretty cheap too. Same for the lacquer. Epoxy tends to be rather expensive too, although that depends on where in the world you live. Here in Denmark it's almost impossible to even buy as a private individual, without dishing out ca. $260 or more

[@miraxterrik]

Why did he use those shrank plastic bags?

[@minimaker5600]

Didn't you see the wonderful texture he got by using a heat gun?

[@chianacharity215]

This is incredible! May I ask what the blue foam is? Since its such an important part of making this, and I'd like to try myself?

[@chianacharity215]

I saw you already answered this in the comment! Never mind thank you!

[@LockwoodsWorkshop]

Crazy good!

[@thecozyfeather]

Amazing!!!!!!! :O

[@HaggisFist]

Bad-ass
