TMNT Sewer Custom Diorama for NECA Action Figures

[@nazrulnadziruddin9641]

Awesome diorama. You really bring the cartoon show justice.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! I had a great time with this one.

[@phoenixwilz9720]

the detail is just so good

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! Glad you like it!

[@jamesfleming6699]

This Diorama is Fascinating..😎 the Fun factor is off the Chart this could also be for that new Punisher with the bike his hideout.. well done!

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! Yeah this has a lot of possible uses now that you mention it

[@WillS724]

Great job. That sparring mat can also be a meditation area

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Great idea! Thanks for watching.

[@SEEshadow]

Yeah, this is easily one of the best sewer dioramas I've seen, so awesome.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! Glad you like it!

[@spurnd]

I had that Art Addams X-Men poster. Great looking diorama.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Nice! As a kid it was in my friend’s room, I always liked it a lot and now I finally have a little version I can admire

[@andrewadamson7544]

I loved the cartoon when i was a kid & love you motions wresting videos as well

[@spacecase7504]

Very impressive Cap! The attention to detail is insane.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thanks man! I loved the old cartoon aesthetic.

[@nonefilmproductions]

Your sewer set is so good. it inspired me to work on my own. similar vibe but doing different stuff since it is my first. bigger bricks. yada yada. thanks for the inspiration!

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thanks! Really glad you like it!

[@yurushii]

Awesome work! I sure need one of these for my retro figures!

[@616Entertainment]

Dude every diorama you make is incredible. This one if off the charts. The details are insane, the colors fit the Turtles perfectly, the posters and pizza menus and every really pop. I absolutely love the chipping concrete on the inside, especially how the light hits it and leaves a little bit of a shadow. And yea man, every time I see you build one of these I always wonder what it would cost as a commission from you. Forget the materials, man, the time is what I imagine would be the cost! These look like they take forever, and you get what you pay for, man. A Captain McKay dio is a top dollar dio. Killer stuff, man.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thanks dog! These things are always so much fun to create, I rarely sell dioramas because I’m selfish and only make the ones I wanna keep haha. You’re right - the time is where the budget goes. Some of the brick work, painting, waiting around for things to dry...all that takes forever.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

@RJ Boyd no plans to right now, it’s on a shelf with some of my figures displayed on it

[@markyanarchy4668]

Looks awesome and it must be so fun to play with I really liked that removable corner piece GREAT JOB!!

Thanks!

Crushed it man! Dude I love that back room!!!

[@actionfigurestory3347]

Oh wow this is amazing. Have to say I love the weapons rack.

This is absolutely beautiful. You're level of detail is amazing. Very good job

Your continued creativity is increasingly impressive, Cap! Great diorama, makes me wanna watch the show.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! It’s been forever since I’ve seen the show itself, I’d love to check it out again.

[@DGDXanimation]

You nailed it as usual! So dope!

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Hell yeah! Thanks man.

Dude can u do a tutorial of making it because I want a lair for my ninja turtles plzzz

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you!

[@josephjenkins3rd89]

I would gladly pay to have this built, at the same time the more I see dios like this the more I wanna try it myself. Excellent job 👏 👏👏

[@DazAlienGeek]

This is really an incredible piece of art. A slice straight from the cartoon. I’d like to see what you could do with a bunch of under gravel fish filters for an AL(|)ENS diorama.

[@josephbrancato1883]

Wow, I am taken back to my childhood just looking at this. Great work man, you deserve a lot of praise for this. Seems like you put a lot of time and effort and it absolutely shows. Bravo.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you. Yeah, a lot of time and effort, but it’s a fun hobby so I love putting the energy into this kinda thing!

Love the Terminator poster on the wall. :D This is pure perfection! I need this in my collection! I have some of the collector edition figures (got them from Books A Million), but only of the turtles. I don't have the others - never found them lol :D This is incredible! The weapon rack is awesome!

very nice. just like the cartoon👍

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with it!

[@zekeverse8030]

another sick video from the cap!

[@emilflognoid1532]

My only critique is that you have a water or gas line running into the electrical meter! It’s all good though, looks cool! lol I’d paint the turn knob blue green or red though just for some contrast.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

I guess I’ll just have to say that’s some kind of a water pressure gauge or something haha. Good eye, that’s definitely not a detail I would have even thought about. I’ll keep that in mind for future dioramas!

[@emilflognoid1532]

It’s all good, I’m just messing with ya. I do apartment maintenance so I’m having to cut on and off those lines all the time so I’m aware of them.

[@emilflognoid1532]

Getting ready to do a turtle diorama and party wagon for Neca turtles so doing some research, really look the aesthetic of yours man! Good job!

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

@@emilflognoid1532 many thanks! I have a video showing a custom Party Wagon I made as well, if you wanna check my channel out. I do believe I’ve heard NECA is making an official one too, but that may be LONG down the road from now. Best of luck with your diorama!

[@bjpalm1994]

Great vid & dio Captain! Your sewer dios always look good. Even though its meant for the cartoon versions, the colors you used make it easy to use the other figures as well. I think the alley & sewer are teeth cutting projects for dio-builders, lol. Definitely what I'll probably start out with. Keep up the awesome work!

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! Yeah there are definitely a lot of people making sewers now that all these TMNT are out there haha

[@shades9415]

Can’t wait for NECA’s perfect version coming out but this is cool, too.

Love this man would it work with ninja turtles SHF figures as well since I got does for now I think there still are good toys as well SHF

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! I think this would work with SHFs, they’re similar in size to the NECA versions. I don’t have those though, otherwise I would have showed them!

[@Justmenesto2]

Awesome.

[@PinoyGamingTribe]

hello, great diorama by the way, i like the ambient and color that you use in the sewer, fantastic. and i am wondering, what tmnt do you have in this video? thanks

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! The main turtles in this video are the cartoon NECA versions.

​@@CaptainMcKayRandomthank you so much ❤

[@healy7882]

Awesome, would you ever make the weapon rack to sell?

[@scottybandicoot6347]

This is incredible! I have 1 question, how do you cut big circles in the foam?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! Usually I trace something big and round, like a pot lid. Then I cut it out carefully with an x-acto knife.

[@tamalestudios379]

@Captain McKay Random hummmm it needs the couch ! other than that very well done ! :)

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thanks! I’ve thought about grabbing a small doll house couch I can use with this. It’ll be something I can fit into the space better if I take that corner piece out. Definitely on my radar though!

[@generationproductions1154]

@@CaptainMcKayRandom cool :)

[@darrinkbell1972]

I appreciate the info and especially on the price

[@SageForsaken]

You could get the stuff they use to caulk stuff to fill in the corner gaps

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Sage Forsaken I use magnets to support the structure. It’s easier for me to have the option for breakdown and storage. Sadly there is still occasionally gaps in the corners as a result

[@SageForsaken]

@@CaptainMcKayRandom That's cool. Idea then. Get small neodymium magnets embed in the corner and a small real metal corner/L shape paint it up to match maybe glue some bolt heads to it the 🧲 could hold it in place

[@NerdyMoMo]

This is so very DOPE!!! Can I ask what you used for the thinner foam board that makes the cracks?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thank you! That gray concrete stuff is just thin sheets of foam from an arts and craft store, probably like 3mm wide. You can get like 8 x 12” sheets in many different colors.

[@NerdyMoMo]

@@CaptainMcKayRandom thank you so much for the reply! I am new to making dios and props and I'm still trying to figure out what material is best.

[@z0m813]

Amazing

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thanks man!

[@z0m813]

@@CaptainMcKayRandom no problem

[@pabnmay]

Awesome job, looks great. What color paint did you use for the bricks.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

I believe I started with a black base coat, then went to red, then dry brushed an orange layer over top. I’m not 100% sure - I wish I remembered because I want to expand it and I’m hoping to match the color

[@pabnmay]

Awesome, thank you, I am currently working on making my version of the turtles bedrooms, making one dio that I can change around for each turtle and for master splinter.

[@andrewfowler5845]

Looks sick man very talented 😎 how long would it take do you think to make a diorama city for TMNT?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

I’ve made city buildings before, they take some time for sure. I’d be curious to try something like the Technodrome though!

[@KaiMoFilms]

Pretty awesome stuff there, cap. I really like the aesthetics of the dio, which you're right, do work better for the cartoon turtles. Loved the posters in there, not only because there was a Ghidorah poster but it's just great attention to detail. Although my favorite detail was the big box tv. I grew up with one and every once and a while I think I hear the ringing sound it makes when it's turned on. One question, how did you get the circle doors so smooth? I get straight edges but something curved like that must be difficult. Awesome stuff, man

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Thanks man, I knew you’d like that Ghidrah poster (I still love that translations differ between “Ghidrah” and “Ghidorah,” haha). Those circular doorwars are traced with a take-out container and cut out with an xacto knife. Indeed, it takes a long time haha.

[@NinjaToyReviews]

So have to get this so nice

[@deneutz]

cool

[@stationoctopus720]

Can you do a tmnt stop motion

[@ianwilly7118]

Are you gonna do a stop motion?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

No plans, but I do have the option now haha

[@rhino6550]

Can you tell me where you get the thinner foam? I have some thicker stuff for walls and floors and stuff but I want to do some stuff like finer details like your box and I have no idea where to look.

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Sure, you can find it in arts and crafts stores. It comes in lots of colors but I just get black and paint it whatever color. It’s like 3-4mm thick, about like 8x12” sheets.

[@emilflognoid1532]

Hey i knew you 3 years ago and didn't know it!!

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Haha awesome! Hope you enjoyed this video three years ago!

[@emilflognoid1532]

According to my comments I did

[@one12shelf63]

This is awesome! How did you cut out perfect circles? I’ve tried before and it just comes out rigid as hell lol

[@vanessamauricio2941]

Could you tell me what color paint you used for the walls?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

It’s been a long time but I believe it was a black base coat, a brick red layer on top, and then an orange/red mix on top of that. I don’t recall the exact colors sadly.

[@paulwilson425]

what kind of paint did you use on the wall for the "bricks" ?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Just cheap Apple Barrel acrylics from WalMart. Black base coat, then red, then orange in dry brush layers.

[@paulwilson425]

@@CaptainMcKayRandom Thanks for the fast response, appreciate it

[@serveaux]

I don't know if I missed the info, but what are the walls and floor made of? Is it foam core?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

I said at the end briefly but the main walls and floor are insulation foam project panels, you can find them at Lowe’s or Home Depot

[@serveaux]

@@CaptainMcKayRandom Thank you Cap, sorry, must have missed that, looking forward to giving it a try! Great video, I subscribed after seeing it! Thanks again!

[@baljazz]

What color paint / brand did you use

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

The brand is Apple Barrel but any cheap acrylic from Walmart or someplace like that would work. It’s like a dollar for a little bottle. I don’t remember which colors specifically since there are a ton of them out there

[@illumardimago2307]

Nice decent one. Thats what im going. Fir I havr. My. Turtles

[@DOAHITMAN]

Question what would u charge to have a custom stage built for a wrestling entry way

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

I can’t really answer that without knowing the ideas and the budget of the client.

[@baljazz]

What is the diameter of the circle for the sewer entrance?

[@CaptainMcKayRandom]

Not sure exactly, I just traced around the lid from a take-out container. I’d say maybe 8.5 - 9 inches or so

[@PinoyGamingTribe]

may i know the size of the diorama? its looks like 24 inched a width? 15 inches height.. i like the size of it. it fit the turtles size i hope neca 1999 turtle also fit in this size. thanks
