Man I absolutely LOVE this building man, what an epic crafting journey so honoured to have this beasty join the white city! The quality of craftsmanship here is just staggering, you make stuff using so many awesome techniques every time I watch a Knarb video I learn new stuff. Absolutely LOVE IT. So glad you chose to make the Gondorian Brothel Archives as well, it's such an essential part of the Gondorian city life.

[@KnarbMakes]

Haha, this was a blast dude. Happy to be involved. You've tought me a ton of techniques over the years.

[@TonyE727]

Two of my favorite youtubers. I love it when you all collab

[@bengamingames5002]

Brothel Archives bahahahaha!

[@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth]

Brilliant man this looks incredible. All the different materials work perfectly together. Love the music when Gandalf is searching the archives.

[@KnarbMakes]

I was looking for something a bit quirky, haha

[@AbandonedMiniatures]

Love how you can nail complex architecture every single time. Looks awesome Knarb!

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks man! Its what I obssess the most over usually.

[@lexskauen]

Maybe Denethor wouldn't be so prissy if Gondor had a Brothel....The Archives look great tho!

[@Zorpazorp]

WORD.

[@harbl99]

"Bring oil and wood." Denethor, no!!!

[@benjaminjack867]

Love watching you seamlessly blend different crafting techniques: old school foam and laser cutting! Bravo

[@AndurzTalksHobbies]

I'm always amazed but just how many different materials and techniques you mix into your projects. Between the 3d modeling, lasercutting, 3d printing, and classical foamwork it creates such a complex and impressive piece.

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Andurz!

[@TheShieldery]

Single Trebuchets in your area are waiting for your load! It looks so massive, I'm sure it could squeak hundreds of Orcs.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Excellent, Knarb. I really dig the technique that you are using to create the stone facades, very inspiring. The painting also kicks a**. Nice work all around!

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks T-Nu. And Happy New Year! Just realized we are almost done with 2022.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

@@KnarbMakes Happy New Year!

[@memmo89]

The brothel joke got me. Lol!!! Great Job with the project!!!

[@1x1.studio]

Another INSANELY good project, your videos are never boring fr! The whole process is so satisfy to watch also!!!

[@Artmesa]

Awesome build! You have a t-rail now too! It's really a game changer on a custom hotwire table.

[@lexskauen]

The weathering you did reminds me of the building in The lego Lord of The Rings Osgiliath level!

[@KnarbMakes]

Thank you! I tried to get a good level of contrast going.

[@andrewdrauth]

Absolutely masterfully done. Beautiful work as always

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Andrew!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Nicely done, Knarb!

[@KnarbMakes]

Glad you liked it!

[@BPCustomCreations]

@@KnarbMakes I'm glad I caught the premiere and I always enjoy seeing you seamlessly go through different mediums during a build

[@CCMinis]

That turned out amazing Knarb, fingers crossed it makes it there in one piece! well, 2 pieces

[@nakenmil]

This is awesome! You really went hard on the Renaissance/Venetian/Ottoman side of things, and it adds so much to the build.

[@KnarbMakes]

Glad you like it! Cheers!

[@kitbashbox]

Fantastic work - I love that you use so many different materials and processes to create a really coherent and stunning piece

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks so much. I really enjoyed watching you design and fit all the elements in your build too. I used that same building you showcased for some inspiration too.

[@brianahawkins8124]

It's incredible!

[@euansmith3699]

Thanks for another year of lovely, chill crafting videos.

[@KnarbMakes]

Happy new year!

[@daniellogue8365]

Looks awesome! I love the archive theme for this building

[@theDMsCraft]

Dude, you are a master builder!

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Scotty!

[@dirtywhitellama]

Ahhhh yes, the 2000s. Is it terrifying that I'd be glad for even their simpler times? Beautiful work as always!

[@MagpieInGravesfield]

That looks stunning !! Have you ever thought about building Emperor Belos's castle from The Owl House ?

[@cerisekappes580]

Looks amazing 😊

[@BigSamStudio]

Dang that's really impressive! That looks really good

[@RFDHobby]

Awesome work mate. I really enjoyed watching you take the handmade, laser-cut, 3d printed approach to this :) . I've just started working again with a new laser cutter to help build my terrain foundations in a very similar way you show here, I've found the design element of laser cutting to be very easy to grasp, so it's really quite a quick process to whip things up once you've got a handle on it. 3d printing is my next addition to the workshop without a doubt, especially after watching this! Thanks again for the great video and fantastic build. Take care and all the best. Shawn.

[@KnarbMakes]

Awesome to hear you are crafting again Shawn! Look forward to seeing your creations, and thanks for dropping by.

[@MisfitHobbies]

This looks fantastic. Love how much detail there is

[@jardinestirling1916]

That building looks fantastic m8 :)

[@x.davidwilliams83]

Huzzah,, Top Notch build sir.

[@windmark8040]

Masterful!

[@Rtsmodelbox]

Nice build as always, love the paint job on the brick work truly makes me feel as if I was in the city itself job well done.

[@Nat1videos]

Mate ... this is brilliant! I have some tool envy, would love to get a laser cutter! Maybe next year. Love all the detail you put in to this build man. Are you making the stl file for the dome publicly available at some point??

[@KnarbMakes]

I shared a link with you for the dome. If anyone else wants it, it's available on my Patreon page.

[@Nat1videos]

@@KnarbMakes ahhhh you absolute gem!! That is getting printed off for sure :D

[@billdefranza4927]

Dude, this is very very impressive. I find myself saying that after all your videos, 👍

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Bill!

[@emmahayes111]

Gandalf spent years in those archives. Awesome choice. Looks great.

[@G_Threepwood]

Beautiful work!

[@KnarbMakes]

Thank you so much

[@louislowery2877]

Amazing

[@seanmorgan9506]

I love all the miniature maker channels on KZbin but I've got to say you are just a step above when it comes to buildings and architecture. Also every single miniature build should be LOTR themed

[@sw33n3yto00]

Holy crap, Knarb! That is one helluva Military Brothel Temple!!

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Tommy

[@jonbauml225]

I love the idea of a library that also functions as a brothel. Who doesn't love sexy librarians

[@josray2557]

man, that is just lovely :D

[@marian_busuioc]

Make Canterlot castle!:))That would be amazing!!!!:)))))

[@KnarbMakes]

Ill take a look. My daughter loves MLP, haha.

[@WeltenbauerClub]

Love it 🤩

[@KnarbMakes]

Hidy ho!

[@WeltenbauerClub]

@@KnarbMakes Hidiho 🥳

[@sofiaottoman]

this looks awesome 💕

[@KnarbMakes]

Thank you!!

[@thra-x1855]

gandalf just made up the story of being trapped in saruman's tower - he was at the brothel and lost track of time.

[@Bluecho4]

Nice

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks

[@RipperManofHorror]

Wow Top😍😍😍✌✌😎😎🙏🙏

[@andreazaltron6850]

love the build, really hate the loud music

[@frederikschulze8218]

"Like a BROTHEL"

[@soledude]

👌👌👌

[@vichalethimero]

What's name is tha, which yiu are using for wall... Name please.

[@harbl99]

TTR (time to 'Romanesque'): 6:07 If you think about it, an archive is like a brothel for books. All heaped up indiscriminately, rustling their pages seductively, letting just any old rando just walk in and _peruse_ them like that. S'disgusting! This was a respectable neighborhood before those dirty archivist types turned up. ... Sorry, forgot where I was going with this.

[@KnarbMakes]

All great points.

[@darnokthemage170]

Minas Tirith is just Romanesque, not very fantasy.
