[@Jazza]

Ooooh I love me some good cable management and modular film spaces! Looking great Scott! Adding a "HELL YEAH!" In the comments!

[@Miniac]

Thank you, Jazza! Let's create the cult of cable management 💪

[@BluBerrey]

[@nickrogers3111]

I was about to comment bet this video getting Jazza excited, then I see 2nd comment jazzy with HELL YEAH jumping out. but seriously reminds of jazza new studio video. very professional scott 👏

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

It’s so beautiful

[@CreamAle]

If you're not a guest at this place I'll just call it heresy.

[@nathanresendez4034]

Man remember when you were in your basement before Ninjon even came on the show? Look how far you've come. You were great then and now you have a larger and better space to support larger ambitions and goals. Keep slaying man!

[@alecmiller5296]

Seeing the growth of scott and the start and growth of johns channel has been awesome!

[@nathanresendez4034]

@@alecmiller5296 agreed

[@RerollingOnes]

For the unused space: Set up a "confessional" area so you can do, well, confessional shots like they did in "The Office" which can be really funny for RPGs. "It's going to go great!" (cut) "that did not go great" For display cases, I used Billy cases with glass doors from Ikea. They look really classy and are pretty low profile, just 11" from the wall to the front which is surprisingly important. Lastly, it's been a pleasure to watch your channel grow, SDub. From your original posts on reddit to a full fledged bidness this is pretty great.

[@tinaprice4948]

I also use Billy. I use white cases and put in the glass shelves, which really make your minis stand out, and its nice that the shelves are adjustable, I use more shelves in glass than what it came with in the white wood shelves , so more bang for the buck per bookcase :D

[@dinahfromkabalor]

Love it! Reverse side of the new wall with window in it could work well for that perhaps.

[@Miniac]

That would be pretty hilarious!! Also, name dropping the reddit username, pretty poggers

[@Charlieistaken]

Yo it’s rerolling ones! Y’all got the best AoS reports on the platform!

[@kylabaisden1558]

Amazing cable management! It is so satisfying when you you are able to hide and organize the cables! Love the new set up!! "Hell Yeah"

[@Miscast]

Its sooooo clean and crispy. Gratz Scoppy

[@CCMinis]

Such an epic set up - so happy and excited for you Scott!

[@KnarbMakes]

Dope setup Scott!

[@Zorpazorp]

Looking over this all again as I plan my own new studio setup post move, so proud of how far you've come my man.

[@mordraenvod]

I am speechless man. As someone who paints models and sometimes streams my painting sessions, I know how hard it is to have the perfect space. This DOES look perfect, really. What you've managed to achieve is beyond amazing. Well done !

[@SparkyMuffins]

That's one sexy office space. It's so thoughtfully planned out. All you have to do is walk in, fill your water cup and get going! Also there is NOTHING wrong with the amount of labelling you did. The amount of organization in this video gave me all the happy brain chemicals

[@GeneralRasp]

You know Scott, if you ever get tired of the mini videos you would do excellent as a hobby space consultant. Tell people how to setup their hobby space and cable manage everything. I am so stoked for the next level videos coming out of your studio.

[@STOOJIE]

Came across you, ninjon and squidmar by accident and I'm hooked. Bit late at 47 but nevermind. Best of luck in the new space 👍 👌

[@mikesvirtualhikeandtours1721]

Never to late

[@RoyalSoulGypsy]

NOT too late! I’m 60 and the gents you mentioned are all major inspiration.

[@ThatThereWesty]

Not too late at all. Get down your local hobby store 🙂

[@StupoMmundi75]

I am also 47 😀

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Welcome to the hobby mate 🥳

[@odharrison23]

You are completely a professional. I’m think about doing what you do and it’s intimidating to see you at your level. Something to strive for. Thank you. And you are 100% right those cables are sexy.

[@Miniac]

CAAAABLLEEESSSS!!!!

[@jpmegr1715]

Awesome place! Empty section recommendation = The Green Room for podcast and other guests to hang out before a broadcast , needs a couch, mini fridge tv is perfect and a snacks set up.

[@justindonie]

Coming into the world of "cable non-management" working in small town factories, I remember my first trip to a high end plant in Germany and seeing what excellent cable management could look like. LOVIN' what you've done. :) The whole new studio looks top class, totally rocks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@WHSminiatures]

This guy is for sure my favorite Warhammer KZbinr, been watching him for a few years now and I can say he’s always producing quality content.

[@flopwedge2009]

I think my fav piece of decor is the black "Sports Team" pennant on the painting station wall. I'm a big fan of Sports Ball as well. Congrats on the office!

[@davidsbears]

For glass cabinets - you should see if you have anyone who makes glass/acrylic fish tanks in your area. They use thick and heavy enough materials, and are used to accounting for large weight loads (water is heavy... and also wet...). They should be able to source and make you the sort of thing you're looking for! Lovely space mate - look forward to consuming all the content you keep making!

[@BluBerrey]

Looking at you putting up rockwool into the ceiling brought back some really awful memories:D I was helping my dad insulate our attic, and man.... those things will make you itch for DAYS! Long sleeves and gloves, always!

[@TinotheCleanOne]

Regarding the soundproofing- I'm really glad you asked permission before doing something with another person's property.

[@TheMiniMason]

Awesome place! About SDI vs HDMI. As you said, HDMIs are not the greatest for longer runs, what you can get without breaking the bank, is an SDI to HDMI converter. They are way cheaper than new cameras. Black Magic Designs make the best converters imo.

[@spacebob22]

That flowered green button shirt is amazing!

[@erc1971erc1971]

That office is beyond impressive! You busted your ass to get that place looking good and it shows. Now that you can get busy with painting videos there, it is going to be awesome.

[@CrashCas11]

Love that you referenced Alton Brown .. Your space came out sweet.

[@AidaThackery]

It's very beautiful to see a dream come true! little by little, Step by step it's growing and becoming something special! I wish you the best luck!

[@jpbpaints8557]

Absolutely STOKED for you Scott. I started watching you back in late 2016 when I got back into the hobby and it's been a pleasure watching your channel grow and see you absolutely crush any goal you set yourself. Keep it up man!

[@mervthepenguin]

The amount of care and attention you have given this place is phenomenal.

[@CronosVids]

You’re actually doing what most of us dream of. Turning your hobby and passion into a full fledged business and still enjoying it. Keep up the spirit and awesome content!

[@TheParklinkindavid]

The success of you and your channel makes me happy. Keep it up and make us all proud.

[@liberalhyena9760]

I can’t add anything of consequence to the preceding comments, but just want to say this far exceeds even the incredible achievement I was already aware of from what you’d revealed before. Simply amazing.

[@KalNertea]

I admire your creativness combined with technical and crafting skills. Thanks for sharing thought process and progress explanation. It's truly inspiring

[@talonjansen8926]

Ahhh, dude I am glad to see your channel getting some love again! I learn so much from you guys.

[@vagabondprime1691]

Kim Newman book sighting! Your space looks great!

[@rahotep789]

Your creativity and hard work is humbling. Awesome setup.

[@irrationalgaz]

Holy mother of God, that is a sweet set up. I've been following your channel for 5 years now and I can only imagine the sense of validation having an office set up like this must bring after such a humble beginnings. Congrats man.

[@AGForeign]

Dude, I’m so stoked to see your growth! You took a leap and made a change in careers… look at you know. Expressing your creativity and building your own space! I love it! Keep it going!

[@Shadoweyed09]

As an IT Professional, cable management is beyond amazing! Glad you like the new space and I'm excited to see what you continue to do in a comfortable and accessible space.

[@RisingApe]

Absolutely incredible Scott, made up for you. Absolute KZbin goals! You need to call the lounge the Green room! (Maybe the Grey room!!) and love the door mat! Looking forward to what you create here. Keep up the incredible work.

[@dougbrecher5677]

YES!!! SICK SPACE SIR! LOVE the Danger Planet Sticker on your office door!!! OUR deadpool head still rocks your hat on a daily! Much love Scott!

[@beerenmusli8220]

That cable management fills my Mecha needs.

[@utgar131]

That cable management is on point! Mmmm! *chef's kiss*

[@marcolai9735]

You’re setup is amazing and your attention to details is impressive. Great to hear that the maniac family is growing and looking forward to all the future content!

[@SgtMaj22]

Awesome space, very exciting! All hail the KZbin algorithm gods...That space should be your Green Room for your guests so you can provide the peeled M&M's with the blue ones removed etc...

[@bhskipper]

The Ikea Milsbo is a nice display cabinet, its twice the size of the Ikea Detolf and looks much more refined.

[@AubLambe]

I have the Detolf and Im happy with it, but my needs are probably less than Scotts and most other painters.

[@franciscoaraya9966]

This is the manliest Scott of all. So carpenter.

[@LouieLovesMinis]

What a milestone! As an OG fan, your consistent pursuit of seamless workflows in the hobby and video creation never ceases to amaze!

[@thepaintingguy]

Nice to see you here. 😀

[@LouieLovesMinis]

@@thepaintingguy haha wassup, my guy! Glad to see a fellow hobbyist with good taste in youtubers 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@magnus0017]

Now I want to be a good enough painter that I can get invited to hang out in the office one day. Time to practice! Honestly amazing setup, congrats on all you've done to get here, and always looking forward to more!

[@Pierre-sz3gh]

What a nice and cosy place to... PAINT MORE MINIS!

[@node77]

Well done Scotty, you put in the work and now you're rockin a sweet kick ass studio. Awsome man! Can't wait to see where this all goes next.

[@bloodclotpl0tts]

Nice Scott you put those SiBANNAC stickers up in the window!! Great video!! …..HELL YEAH!

[@fromau5]

Awesome attention to detail Scott, 10/10

[@HiroProtagonistak]

It's great to see how talented and motivated people can make a living and hire people so they can also thrive off video's like this. I enjoy the content way more than most movies or TV shows out there and I've learned a thing or three. Thanks glad to see all this coming together.

[@paulvandekamp6774]

The kallax with glass insets and acrylic heighteners make for great display cases

[@N.I.C.K-]

bruhh, so jelly, you absolutely nailed it, well deserved and nice work! Excited to see some vids coming from here

[@mustbewilson]

Look at those office slippers! practical and comfortable!

[@TheXeioken]

Such mgmt cable big wow! Honestly loved the attention to detail on the ties all around and the lack of visibility. Can't wait to see a 3d printing noob series. Good shit bruv

[@Wispmage]

As someone who truly appreciates good cable management, I commend the work you've done. Love the layout and overall vibes as well. Can't wait to see it in action!

[@deadmanstoolbox]

I've never been more thankful for the most replayed feature, thanks youtube.

[@sircyrus00]

Congrats on the new office; I can't wait to see you and your team in action. You're doing what every professional miniature painter can only dream about. Living the life, dude!

[@hansjensen1648]

I have the exact keyboard (typing on it now) and LOVE it. Used the same one from 1999-2015 and replaced in kind. Can't be beat.

[@jonc8561]

Proud of you dude! Congrats on such an awesome space!

[@velocelt]

For the display cabinets use Ikea Billy Oxburg bookcases. Glass doors that are full length and you can do like Adam Savage did and paint the doors black and then put LED strip lights inside to light the contents. Don't know what colors you can get them in offhand, but I'm sure if you wanted something a bit more "METAL!" you could paint them whatever color you want.

[@Daniel-mz5ek]

Couple of people have said this already but the ikea detolf are the cheapest around, I have one. Good things are that they are glass all the way round, being ikea you can puts lights and stuff in them cheaply. They also have a footprint of a single kallax unit which allows you to elevate them and have storage beneath them (okay I lie a little, just looked at mine, the base overhangs by a fraction of an inch but the feet sit well on the top of the unit). You absolutely must screw them both to a wall though as balancing one on the other does wobble if not secured. Just looking at mine, I'm not certain that 2 detolf units would sit on a double kallax you'd have to measure - but given what I said about the overhanging base I suspect multiple singles would be better. Also those kallax units take 4 of the A4 sized 'really useful' boxes which if you stick a magnetic base to them, and magnetise the minis could store LOADS of less-display worthy minis very cheaply. Magnetising the bases is a pain but hey... you have employees! ;) Downsides: are the biggest issue I have found is that the shelves are rather too spaced apart for miniatures (unless you put in big stuff like ork stompas or large scenery), could do with double the number of shelves but unlike most Ikea stuff its not easy to achieve that. This said, its probably not impossible but you'd need to look at one close up. Also they are not super super sturdy but certainly don't feel fragile, if multiple ones were braced together along the top it would def improve rigidity. All the glass does add to the weight so keep that in mind. Finally, they keep the dust out for a while but not forever. Dusting will occasionally still be necessary!

[@The1Goby]

I think a fun idea for display cabinets would be to use the tools you have at your disposal and make them yourself! You and your crew have a good DIY mindset and it would give you a lot more control over the dimentions and where they would fit. Plus it would make a good video!

[@nelsonsilva933]

Looking great Scott. Happy to see you are going over those hurdles and back into ' I just want to make videos'

[@andli]

Congratulations Scott, this looks like your dream setup. And doing it together with great regular employees has to feel really good.

[@G0Ri11a]

Im so happy to see this all come together. Its insane the growth of the channel and how much youve invested back into this. I clearly dont understand youtube financials because I genuinely dont get how you can invest this much into your channel when I see channels with 10x the size struggle to stay afloat with a quarter of the production value.

[@MrRafarius]

Epic! Simply wonderful. Yours is the first miniature painting channel I started following when I started the hobby a few years back. Can’t wait for the painting set to it’s first nuln oil spill.

[@Silverbullet58640]

Dude.... I mean DUUUDE! This is great. So happy for you. Looking forward to more great content. Always top notch.

I've been waiting for your cutting Matt to come back in stock, with shipping to Australia it's safe to say that it will be the most expensive cutting Matt I'll ever buy!

[@patrickpeterson2262]

Try looking at an antique store for a display cabinet. I'm using what used to be a supply cabinet for a chemistry lab from a university. It has huge glass doors and some burn marks for legit character.

[@TheVoxChannel]

It looks sooooo goood Scott!!! More than a little jealous. So happy for you and that you've made a career out of something you love.

This is an awesome set up! So happy to see the Miniac family and working area growing!

[@NyxAiko]

Hell yeah! Also, for the Trapped under Plastic set, a guest would sit on your lap, obviously. Be a good host, Scott, geez.

[@TheMcbiscuit]

The attention to detail is fucking phenomenal. Looks banging. Few ideas for the space you’re not sure about: 1. Library / chill out space 2. Cinema area. Might be cool to have some comfy chairs, popcorn machine and big screen to watch movies or some of the longer videos you create. Love it mate 👏 🔥

[@MarcinEstkowski]

Impressive. Thank you for the tour! Good luck with your work.

[@blainetoms]

seeing you achieve a space this sick makes me really happy for you and is crazy motivating too, makes me so stoked to hopefully upgrade my studio space this before the year is out.

[@qstionevrythng]

I'm really glad you've been able to get this for yourself and I'm looking forward to hanging out with you here. (Through watching your videos, but I'll fly if I'm invited)

[@rustyrocks69]

Get an office wall divider and add soundproofing foam to 1 side on wheels instead of the blankets so they still look good if they end up in camera shot, and if not you can hang the blanket on it too.

[@johnlanger7852]

Scott you have come a long way since I started watching your channel. I so hope for much more success to come your way.

[@rhammitt88]

Hell Yeah! It's awesome to see you continue to grow. Cable management is so underappreciated. This studio space is giant and somehow seems so much bigger now that it is furnished and finished! Can't wait to see what you produce from here on out!

[@d-emprahexpects]

HELL YEAH!!! Best of luck for the future, can't wait to see the first Miniac produced tabletop miniature games and paint range 👍🎨

I am pretty jealous of your awesome set, bit I am also happy for you to have grown this big.
