Learn to make your own Ghost of Tsushima inspired diorama

[@sailor_stine]

I've been binge watching your videos this weekend, and: it is mad impressive how you sculpt these tiny figures.

[@sailor_stine]

Oh someone has said this same thing - but yes it's true!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thanks for watching! This was one of my first proper mini sculptures and I'd like to think I'm getting progressively better with each one

[@a.tapes_]

"oh thats pretty cool i wonder where he got the minis from.... OH" dude this is crazy impressive

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thanks! I like the idea of it being as 'diy' as can be (plus, I don't own a 3d printer)

[@aXimo]

@@NorthoftheBorder honestly, not owning a 3d printer makes you a better artist.

The patience to do this 😭 I can't draw a human, yet you do a perfect miniature version. The rock painting was satisfying as well. Big ups to you!!

[@waterbitten]

That Cape did really fall perfectly.. I love the detail that washes bring out.

[@ryndor2899]

I hope you do Shadow of the Colossus. It's a beautiful game and seems to fit perfectly into your aesthestic. I'd specifically reccomend the first, third, or fifteenth colossus

[@random_dragon]

"I like to make things" is such a wholesome intro

[@WayToDoClay]

Its not right. The peices where not in place.

[@random_dragon]

@@WayToDoClay huh?? What does that have to do with the intro?

[@alizard223]

I am watching this video in 2022, and after watching all of your other videos, it actually hurt me when you didn’t say “tiny nerdy things” 😭

[@TarantuLandoCalcuLingus]

very very awesome my guy! i just dueled him a few minutes ago and went online to see others thoughts, saw your reddit, ended up here lol thanks man youre great

[@op-up1645]

The sword was a well executed bad idea given the 2 options. Although, I think there is an argument to be made that since it worked out well, it was just a time consuming learning experience

[@andriafehizoro686]

the armatures of this channel taught me to draw humans' anatomy better than any tutorial video ... thank you. keep up the good work.

[@gradeApuddin]

They are crazy small. Unreal how small and detailed. I love it!

[@Craftlngo]

it's impressive to see how detailed you sculpt miniature Characters in _20 mm Scale_

[@carldavies2606]

This is absolutely awesome!

[@OldNoobGamer76]

@North of the Border Your skills in tiny die are astonishing they left me speechless😶😲👍👍👍👍👍

[@op-up1645]

Yeah I agree. Capes are awesome. And that cape you made, really looks freaking cool

[@Improbablegardener]

I know I’m rather late to the party but your stuff is amazing! Currently enjoying a good old binge.

[@Metallica4Life92]

Those mini samurai are absolutely perfect! Especially our hero dude with his wavey cape:)

[@matthewbuckley2131]

I have just found this account and it's jaw dropping. Enjoying the binge!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thanks for watching/binging! Lots more to come, so hang around for a while!

[@A.Ladinn01]

This deserves more views and likes. Loving your content

[@clay1723]

so detailed,we don't have this in Russia.I can only applaud!

[@dogedoge8269]

Past Adam plans much better than present Adam

[@azariusflashfang5716]

If I ever decide to try making a figurine myself one day it would definitely to have to be a larger size at first because there is no way in hell I would be able to pull off that level of detail at that tiny size with my current nonexistent skillset. XP And also thanks for the sources for miniatures painting to check out, a lot of other crafters would neglect to mention that kind of thing.

[@DWestfall14]

Hey Adam! I watch all your videos! Not sure if you're a Naruto fan, but the "final battle" scene was the first thing I thought of on this project! I think you'd crush that scene! Cheers!

[@aXimo]

That looks amazing!

[@BobFarrigan]

Where did you get that reference card you used to measure your initial armature steps against? Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I think I got this one from Tom Mason's website. He's got lots of really good reference stuff. You can also get it as a cutting mat from greenstuffworld.

[@hessonr]

3yrs too late but did you happen to find it? I’m looking around but so far no luck

[@SeanTheBrave-qi4fy]

Oh my god dude that is so cool… “FATHER THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKEND”!

[@leroyowers9946]

I really like your wire minis

[@octo8715]

I'll just leave a positive comment here for the algorithm

[@NorthoftheBorder]

You're doing god's work, my friend.

[@Raikenight]

Love the vids, it makes me want to go out and try to learn this

[@xxiSHTAr9000x]

“People of Yarikawa! Hunt every Mongol to the last man, spare no one! FOR YARIKAWA!”

[@mikemartin3671]

Yes, yes! You're very talented! No one in the comments seems to be addressing the greater issue at hand! Where can obtain this "Bacon Bond" of which you speak!? Is it Non-GMO? Keto friendly? "Mmm..bacon bond...aghhh!" -H.J. Simpson Love your work, I'm just wired differently. Great techniques and learning potential, thank you.

[@thealpatxino]

I wish i could do a tenth of what you get. awesome work

[@jblittlefield1787]

Little spooky mask is called a menpo

[@nypal7233]

wow amazing man ,inspired me to try this wish me luck!

[@BuffyUntitled]

Ghost of tsushima is my favorite game ever made so I loved this

[@nykrev]

It’s 5 am and this man is making me fall asleep 😠

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Hopefully in a calming, relaxing way, not because I'm boring you to sleep

[@nykrev]

@@NorthoftheBorder oh it’s just the lovely voice

[@bobanderson2279]

I was today years old when I realized it’s bake and bond, not bacon bond…

[@jeremy1244]

Getting stupid good buddy! How many times have you snapped off an aluminEEum arm adjusting a pose and rage quit for the day? Oh, and what tool are you using to manipulate the green sculpting material? Looks like a flexible plastic wedge? OH (Triple Edit) - capes ARE awesome. Good choice.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

1. Suprisingly few, it's malleable enough that I can bend it quite a few times before it breaks. But yes, enough times that I film the tears off camera. 2. I assume you mean the clay shaper--it's like a paint brush but with a thick silicon end. Means nothing sticks to it, and if you use a tiny bit of vaseline/oil you can smooth green stuff like a pro. 3. And yes, ignore Edna. Capes forever.

[@matthewwelch8624]

@@NorthoftheBorder If I look them up, are they called clay shapers? I have a mess of sculpting tools, but have never run across these things and I want them!!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

@@matthewwelch8624 Yup. You can get different sizes and firmness(es), but I tend to use almost exclusively the small extra firms.

[@marialiyubman]

I love it when you work with resin (Except when you cover it with silicone..).

[@theludonarrian]

Sorry to be that guy, but the short sword carried with the katana is the wakizashi. The tanto is the little knife.

[@christianbrix4311]

I love your work, and Japanese history, so this was an easy 10 out of 10 for me. One thing though: Why do capes exist? Have they ever served a purpose, or are they just bling?

[@David-yv6es]

Great done!

[@kajetanjawr995]

yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, thats badass

[@StingaNGenze]

I wish i could make things like this

[@dansketch]

Amazing and inspiring

[@NinSonyFan]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh my goodness! I was looking for a video where you craft a cape to get ideas but can't pkay audio because my wife is watching so.ething in the tv so i turned on CC ... and is in japanese!! Very YOU!!

[@SeanvanderM]

This is fantastic. What is that sheet with all the different measurements for different scales? Self made? Would be super useful.

[@plasticman2k]

I wonder where you get your inspiration from. Your work is amazing

[@crimsongamer2337]

I really wanna wish this game was on Xbox

[@losie333]

Adam! Why are You not extra famous by now? You are like a fucking Michelangelo with a McCree voice and a sense of humor of John McClane.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. And I'm working on the fame, but I think it's a slow process. 'it takes years to make an overnight sensation'

[@losie333]

I am happy to watch and upvote all Your work :)

[@jojocreatesmonsters]

Hey man! This is excellent stuff! I love it! I have question regarding the sculpey, mine is dry and flaking when I work it, any suggestions on that?

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Cheers! It depends, generally that just means you need to keep working it. It should soften up, assuming it's not too dry already. Is it firm/medium/soft? You can also get a softener from sculpey made specifically to "re-hydrate", so short of buying new stuff, that's the cheapest way of breathing life into old clay.

[@jojocreatesmonsters]

@@NorthoftheBorder I have the firm one laying around here. I'll try that out and the adding oil method. Thanks a lot! 😁

[@あなたの終わりは近い]

Dude it would be awesome is he sold some of this stuff. Cause I look everywhere and nothing like this pops up.

[@chadthyimpaler9345]

Please tell me there is someway I can buy this

Where did you get your figure diagram?

Can you do the pokemon greninja

[@CoolPaDuke]

When did you stop making tiny, nerdy things? Now you just make things. Just things. Up is down. Left is right. Soylent green is people. I can't even.

[@CoolPaDuke]

Oh, this was a year ago. You probably weren't making tiny nerdy things yet

[@Sivklee]

How tf have I just now seeing this vid 🤔

[@riverwater2922]

how do i make mini figures without sculpy ;-;

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Well you can sculpt it out of any medium you can get ahold of--polymer clay, air drying clay, green stuff, etc. Or if you don't want to sculpt it, I've had a lot of success layering pictures ontop of eachother to build a 3D effect!

[@rafiqkatana]

I thought you were doing a diorama to the South Park episode called *Medicinal Fried Chicken* where Randy has huge balls. until I got up and moved the mouse to see what the video was called. I was kind of bummed to see it wasn't. Still good. ..but major let down.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Hm... maybe that's going on my to do list.
