NO EXIT!!🤚 Starting the BEETLEJUICE Waiting Room Diorama Scene!

[@Paint-and-plants]

I absolutely love how meticulous you are! I've been binge watching your beetlejuice dollhouse videos, and I'm in awe. The amount of time that you take to plan, draft and execute your techniques... it's very inspiring!

[@nickimcpheehals572]

The turnstile is amazing, and The No Exit sign is perfect! I'm always fascinated how you figure out the construction of these pieces! Can't wait to see what you do next! I like the two [piece woman!

[@cat3crazy]

The turnstile looks great! I don't know how you come up with the ideas to make everything work together. I'm looking forward to seeing the lady who is sawed in half. It cracks me up when Beetlejuice places his hand on her leg and she slaps him. I've been watching your previous videos. You have gotten much more comfortable talking about your project. You have also gotten better at building items for what you are working on. The architecture knowledge you have shows in the buildings. I'm enjoying watching the Beetlejuice set come together. It's been a while since I've seen the movie but as you add items, it comes back.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That makes me so happy to hear!! I am enjoying bring the movie to life in miniature and that means I am doing it right, if it's bringing about memories you have! And yes I agree that I have to make the magicians assistant for sure!

[@bennikathleen8138]

I love when artist upload during the week. It's a nice way to break up the week. Love your videos

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

It may be happening more and more in the future!😊 Thank you Benni!

[@zuitsuit80]

@@BentleyHouseMinis are you going to make the flattened man?

[@ElaineBakerCreepyCaboodle]

The waiting room is looking fabulous! I have three favourites, Harry the Hunter, the shrunken head guy, the magician's assistant and the Witch doctor. They've always been the ones that stuck out the most to me.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Oh yes! I hope to make them all! The shrunken head guy always looks so concerned to me lol!

[@ElaineBakerCreepyCaboodle]

@@BentleyHouseMinis That would be amazing! Haha yes he does; can't really blame him 😂

[@suzangrumetti1227]

Wow.. thank you so much for this surprise video... Your creativity is off the charts... I thought the Adams family home was my number one but I feel this is rapidly becoming my absolute favorite ... especially the fireplace and now the waiting room. Every room is such a delight.. just wow... I can hardly wait for the finished project but I understand that no stress is the way to go, so I'll calm my anticipation and enjoy the ride.. P.S. love your sense of humor and the enjoyment it adds to your videos... have fun xxx

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Suzan!! This project is definitely taking on a life of it's own. The movie set, lighting, whimsy and music definitely makes every room fascination to try to capture in miniature!😄

[@Kosmofire]

Awesome 😎 as usual the smoker man is the one I want to see in the waiting room. I love these removable walls !!!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you! I imagine he will be rather easy to create... just a little scrunched tissue paper with a head... poor guy really wasted away!

[@daalelli]

I'm looking forward to seeing how you make the shrunken head man.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

He will be a fun challenge!

[@ps1hagridoufofcharacter]

i've never seen bettlejuice but the receptionist lady and the-lady-cut-in-half are both so mesmerising

[@ResinBelle]

You got a lot done! Love how the turnstile came together. The underworld is going to be so awesome!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you! I am really enjoying making the Underworld because its just so wild lol!

[@JayofallTrades]

I love the way the underworld is coming along. The floors are my favorite part. The turnstile arms look like they could be made out of bones which makes them even creepier. Suggestion, The corrugation in cardboard would make good wavy bits for the doorway. Remove the top layer of cardboard to reveal this part.

[@tOFUbankai]

I second this! I instantly thought of the corrugated cardboard too

[@grimmmunro2279]

Wonderful Ara.xx

[@angelabernhardt6761]

Those turnstiles are so cool and that green light instantly screams “Beetlejuice”! Great work and so exciting! My favorite character in the waiting room might be the Smoking man (“Want a cigarette? Trying to cut down myself.” LOL) or the guy who choked to death on the chicken bones.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Angela!! The chicken bone guy is the only one that actually churns my stomach a little bit!😳 I do want to make the cigarette guy for sure!

[@rosetorres8912]

I love the shrunken head in the waiting room. He was both funny and cute lol

[@antiqueiter8135]

I'm absolutely loving the progress of the beetlejuice home and netherworld

Your imaginations & skills are amazing & so admirable! Thanks for sharing with us!

Yes I am super excited to make her!

[@pennydreadfull]

I love it! Can't wait to see the headhunter that shrunk Beetlejuice's head!

[@DorisS75]

I'm glad you are including the waiting room! My favorite characters are the headshrinker and the magician's assistant.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Whoo hoo!😁

[@e.d.t.]

Every section of this project has been such an iconic image. Even with the scene being in its early stages, there's still so much to appreciate. Can't wait to see the guy with the shrunken head.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!! I am really enjoying that part of this build... each section is like it's own individual room box!

[@swearenginlawanda]

Nothing better to watch on a lazy rainy morning. Life is good being retired. How you doing? Stress levels decreasing? Take care

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Yes the stress levels are much lower now and I had a great time working on this project. I just worked when I had time and it was amazing not feeling the pressure the whole time! Thank you Lawanda😊 I am glad you are having a nice lazy morning!

[@swearenginlawanda]

@@BentleyHouseMinis lazy is every morning. Lol. Take care if you first.

[@TheUndeadOfNight]

The geometry of those angles in the turnstile wall are mind bending . Always a learning experience watching you create . Lighting looks perfect .

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I was a bit intimidated by the angles at first too but I just went piece by piece and made adjustments as needed. I am so glad you liked the final results!

[@deborahrwafil1344]

That exit sign looks so real and so complex and you make it so easy

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!! Sometimes the simplest construction works best in the end. I am so glad you like how it looks!

[@anyahlator]

So excited for this project! It’s coming together so nice!

[@MignonOficina]

The turnstile actually turning is such a satisfying thing to see hahaha amazing work as always!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!! Yes I just had to try to get it to turn if possible!😄

[@samanthagatlin-templeton9425]

[@adriennemcclain9853]

Once again, you've knocked it out of the park! I'm loving the adventure that is this build 🙂

[@rexgrl3]

I know, "Necessity is the mother of invention," but your ability to look at something (movie, TV scene etc.) and be able to figure out what to use to recreate it fascinates me. Another problem beautifully solved.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Abby😊😊 I appreciate that!

[@justdessertsgaming7609]

All of them is always the correct answer but the legs for me lol This was my favorite when I was younger. I wore this move out. I didn’t even truly understand it all when I first started watching it because I loved beetlejuice and the “dance” at the table so much. My mom must have got tired of watching it but always would when I wanted bc I’d lmao at beetlejuice. It’s looking great! I’m astonished at the things you and your viewers make!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I didn't fully understand it as a child either. And still as I am researching I am finding more and more information that is hidden in the characters and the lines that they say. So interesting! Thank you so much!!

Oh Ayra thank you so much for this video. I had a hard day. I’m sitting in my bed trying to keep it together. Trying to keep from breaking down. My mind cannot focus and I’m scrolling through KZbin and your video jumped out and I felt such a relief. I know you don’t make your videos for this reason but you have such a comforting nature and I guess I can describe your videos as a warm hug. Anyway thank you

You might like to experiment with some of that Vanta Black or similar super black paint for areas of your projects that you want to disappear into darkness. If you haven't already. (I have some by Stuart Semple) It's not physics-defying paint, like I imagined, but it is flatter than regular stuff. Enjoying this video, as always!

Thank you Robin!! I am feeling very happy with this new, more fluid schedule😊 I will be playing around with the corrugated walls soon and will keep that in mind!

[@JDtheBlackPhoenix]

Hey Ara, love it, the spiral rope around the sticks was brilliant. I don't know how hard it might be to repaint that void area, but, if you really want it to look like a void, I would recommend investing in a bottle of Black 3.0 Paint, it's the blackest paint you can buy, and it would look great in that little corner. It would make it look really void like.

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

Wow to everything you got done! The turnstile is so cool but I think the "No Exit" sign is the best. Isn't it the most satisfying feeling to turn on lights once you're done with a portion? The green is so eerie it just adds that extra pop to everything. The mini houses are so neat and the box especially. Since I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Miss Argentina is the one I'm looking forward to the most. Besides, I want to see how you handle her flaming red hair since you can't age it...lol!
