[@chrissegee]

Good to see you guys back, you literally are the ones who got me into prop and costume making and now i am making a full thief/assassin costume for my daughter

[@KamuiCosplay]

Woah, this is super amazing! Sounds super fun! 😊

[@chrissegee]

@@KamuiCosplay would it be ok if I send a picture when it’s done?

[@KamuiCosplay]

YES PLEASE! 🙏

[@Rinnitea]

As a cosplayer, this made me want to have a cosplay studio too 🥺 Also, buy her books

[@DJ_Blaker]

Definitely agree, Benny should do a tutorial on Laser cutters! Great workshops!! You two are living the dream! Enjoy!!

[@Messihippi]

That’s a really great set of workshops you have there. It might be smaller than your German place, but it looks perfectly organised. I hope you have many years of happy creativity there. Here’s a thought for your wall behind the couch - why not let Martina and Hansi from Nerdforge create something spectacular for you? It’s about time you four got together for a collaboration!

[@Nherdvous]

Top quality production, top quality designs and top quality videos. Wish nothing but a successful future for you guys!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Thank you soooooo much! 😊

[@PentragonCosplay]

The "Benny was wrong" corner is absolutly beautiful! Though I can´t help but wonder how the fabric colours will change over time since they seem to be getting a lot of natural light?

[@OLDMANTEA]

40 years from now, she’ll still be reminding Benny about that corner

[@MafiaCatNyoshi]

The fabric samples on the boxes are genius! I will definitely do this with my fabric storage as well

[@SquirrelOfTheNight]

A wall of fancy picture frames, filled with photos of both of you in your favourite cosplays, could be really cool on that back living room wall.

[@celsoebk3413]

Waw .... You are at Portugal now. I'm very excited to see you do a video speaking portuguese, because I am from Brazil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 . Boa sorte na sua nova oficina de cosplay, seu trabalho é incrível.

[@why9909]

The function of your workshop is amazing. Everything is so organized and practical while still being aesthetic I've always imagined that having a wide array of bulky and miscellaneous crafting tools are impossible to organize, so this is super refreshing and inspiring to see!

[@eronth]

Looking forward to the day you have to start storing props on the ceiling for extra space.

[@shio.kou88]

in the projector room, it would be sick to print out some of your fav cosplay pics on canvas and hang them up on the wall!

[@Quatre078]

Yes a lasercutter video would be so helpful 😊

[@astelierzun]

The neatness and organisation of your workshop is goalsss!! And yes to laser cutter tutorial video please!! Even if I can't buy a laser cutter yet, I could get local stores with laser cutting service to cut my fabrics. So I would love to know how to get started with it!

[@mythicflower8538]

Yes! Please give us a laser cutter tutorial Benny!

[@AkitakitaNeruFan]

The back wall in the living room could be used to hang large Displates with a nice, ambient backlighting to them! I promise this isnt an ad haha

[@DavidWRyan]

I wish I had an ocean view from my sewing table!

[@Inna-sa]

The living room wall needs a Nerdforge mural!!

[@BlueMerStudios]

So glad your move went well! You, Beni, and the corgis seem to be very happy! In your living room, you could pick some of your favorite cosplay photos and get them printed into large posters to hang behind the couch. The statues are great, but I think you need some big statement features in there 😊

[@Sylmelcos]

a huge painting of you benny and the doggos on a huge empty wall

[@KamuiCosplay]

🌝

[@Cult_ofthe_wedge]

You should have some kind of heads on the wall. so you can display your helmets. ofc I'm talking about your living room so I hope you see this. BTW your great at cosplaying and I've learned so much from you ❤

[@FairyBlackMother]

Please oh please have Bennie do a laser tutorial or book. I have a laser and have been making stuff on it. But the resources for cosplay and a laser are few. I have helped my friends cut for puppets and I have used them on foam and felt. So I would totally buy a book of that info. Congratulations on your new space. It's been amazing watching you get to this level!

[@badderthanyou00]

For your living room you could make like tiles out of foam maybe hexagons and immitate different textures. So each one is different. Maybe one is leather, the other one is metal :D but I don't know how that would look as a whole. Oh and a bonus would be that you could make a whole tutorial out of how to make different textures hehehehe Oh I just had the idea that you could imitate different fantasy creatures. Like a tile with dragon scales and like a fancy colorful frog or something xD

[@oNarakuo]

for the empty wall: MORE PLANTS!!!!! I'm always for more plants and maybe 1 or 2 nice pictures between the green.

[@Kededian]

I can tell you are really happy with the workshops and how it turned out to be. It looks really amazing!

[@jark5852]

Corgi! Congratulations on your new workshop! I sincerely hope you and your husband enjoy your time in that gorgeous space, and that it continues to bring you the same joy and prosperity you bring to your viewers! Hooray for Zelda, Midna, Svetlana, and Benni! 😊

[@KamuiCosplay]

Thank you so much! The good weather helps us so much to stay creative and busy, even during winter! Usually we would spend the time wrapped up in blankets playing video games and waiting for the sun to come back! 😅

[@jark5852]

@@KamuiCosplay You are most welcome! I can relate to this somewhat, I live in Michigan and the weather right now is absolutely frigid! XD I was trying to work on some artwork, but it's a little chilly in my room. So I am staying under my blankets for now, lol!

[@SUKYPAOFFICIAL]

Please make a laser cutter tutorial video, Benni~! Love yall's videos! Have your cosplay tutorial books!

[@plattjef]

You should hire Nerdforge to paint a mural on your living room wall. :-)

[@Faiq_h]

May I ask a few questions about layout? Have you thought about placing the mannequins onto pedal stools and have an exhibit spotlight over each? What about a display stand for your 'oversized' weapons such as the spear, have you seen those stands for weapons that are placed on the floor and is an arch with slots for each item? for your inventory of parts what does Benni's thoughts about barcodes that are tied to a inventory app that can help you find and itemize all your supplies? May I ask about your setup for ventilation for the 3d printers and sanding? I knew that you have a spray booth and that was a neat idea and nice to see it again. I agree with Svetlana, with more and more tools becoming easy to access and budget, people are forgetting the importance of proper use, maintenance, and protection. Benni, a video about how you use your laser cutter is a must. I have heard and seen too many problems that could have been avoided. I have colleagues who hurt their eyes, skin, and are also now allergic to certain products all because they saw how effortless these tools seem to be and then they purchase them and my caution falls on deaf ears and later I hear about them getting hurt. So please do a video and also since you have influence on the current and even new crafters have something about safety please. As a person who has moved a bit. Give it time, you will fill those spaces soon with memories of your new chapter in Portugal and around the world. But seeing as this your third ( or was it fourth?) move you know this as well, lol. Dusting must be fun lol. As I look at my displays. small favour, Benni? Mind sharing your kobra max profile?

[@nekumii_cosplay]

your new crafting room is looking awesome! Also love all the energy you guys put into these videos its just perfect🤗 Ive got an Idea for your livingroom Wall. What about a cool Memorie picture wall? :D I just love putting pictures everywhere that reminds me of beautiful trips, things or friends and of course cool Artwork from talented Artist. And one Question, how do you keep all these awesome figures clean?

[@brunalnono2920]

Really nice workshops, corgies and Madera !

[@LorenaTheWitch]

Your place has so much personality! 🩷 I love it, so happy for you guys. And also Portugal looks so cosy! Specially this winter being soo cold up north 🥶

[@GamingDad63]

Yes please, definitely a video on lasercutting and some suggestions for the hardware

[@arkham67]

Ahhhh I’ve been looking foreward to this!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Hope we didn’t disappoint! 😅

[@inesgr7853]

Impresionante, me encantó el nuevo workshop! Amé el lugar que eligieron para vivir. Ademas tienen el trabajo soñado! Que más se puede pedir!? Saludos desde Argentina 😊

[@thiagothaumaturgo3426]

Wow, thats an amazing space.

[@liammc47]

YAY! I've missed you guys. Hope you're all well.

[@KamuiCosplay]

Thanks so much! And yes, we are really happy in our new home! 😊

[@ricardonogueira8182]

Assim que estiverem fluentes em português, venham visitar o Brasil também. 💝

[@Mr-Passionate14_]

I love the new space and I encourage Benni to do more videos of what he does to behind the scenes, with all his tools and things. Benni we want a laser cutting video sir

[@seekertosecrets]

0:34 Must be cold 50 percent of the time. 15:58 I am envious of the entire space!

[@bradcraig6676]

Awesome crafting headquarters! What that living room needs is some plants and natural materials.

[@tiagdvideo]

Yes on the laser cutting tutorial! 🙂

[@jessnomaybe]

I'm so happy to see you evolve and I'm glad Beni stuck with you all through it! You've taught me so much and I'm excited for the next phase of Kamui Cosplay

[@Jatze92]

Wunderbar euch so happy zu sehen!!!

[@gustavolrcoelho]

You could add gifts from fans in that back wall :)

[@threadandcrown]

Your workshop looks amazing! It inspires me to organize and make the most out of a smaller space. Can't wait to see what new cosplay and projects come out of your new home!

[@KazplayVideos]

Putting the samples of the fabric outside the boxes is a super great tip!!

[@gieselats]

Sehr schöner Platz. Wow, das neue Studio, Workshop, living room. Sehr genial. Ja, ihr verbreitet so viel Optimismus und freue. Macht einfach gute Laune. Wir freuen uns auf neue Videos aus eurer Schaffensphase. Großartig. Keep up the good work.

[@orosalsero]

Glad to see both of you finally settled in, can't wait to see your up coming and amazing costumes. Best of luck in your new home and a belated Happy New Year, your fan.

[@rodeastell3615]

Great video ... I'm glad it's working out for you.

[@Engelchen19]

Sieht klasse aus und eine Menge Platz. Ich würde mich über ein Lasercutter Tutorialvideo freuen :)

[@joao_aguas]

Welcome to Portugal, love your energy :) looking at those just brought back my ideas of creating some large pieces, like armor for GoW, and FF weapons, now I only have to study how to properly join pieces before 3d printing them :D

[@KairuHakubi]

incredible. I hope you're enjoying Portugal! Really livin the dream being able to do a huge labor-intensive hobby just for yourselves.

[@marianagf]

Congratulations! Thats amazing, i really love your work, its brilliant, i think i will can see it IRL someday this year. Hope you 4 enjoy Portugal

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

What an amazing space! I love it as it is. I love yours and Benni’s personality and humor, it makes me so happy to watch anything you post.

[@Romir616]

Enjoyed the tour, lotsa funny bits too :D

[@fireheadpet2039]

Thanks for letting us see your whole new workshop! It's fantastic!!!

[@flaagan]

Congrats on the move and the amazing new workshop!

[@katharina4598]

Thank you for sharing. It's amazing 😃

[@schoolofrockcary6625]

Congrats on the successful transition! Looking forward to more fun and inspiring creations!!

[@LithNeo]

Your new place/crafting spaces look amazing! I would love a tutorial about laser cutter and even a 3D printer tutorial, Im just getting my first 3D printer and any knowledge for using it for cosplay would be awesome!

[@StellaFrey]

Sieht echt klasse aus! ❤Da habt ihr bestimmt hart geschuftet 😄💪🏼

[@BomBomProduktion]

really love how the workshops turned out

[@AbelHernandez-on4sl]

Hello this is Abel Hernandez and I like all of them your videos since Germany and the new place is even greater than Germany I love your cosplays the best at at the videos you make

[@enawaldstein]

It would be great to see more about the laser cutter as well as the 3d printers.

[@vockavictoria4242]

What about a nice collection of your Cosplay/event pictures (in frames) in different sizes behind the couch? :D

[@AngelaSmith2030]

Such an amazing set up! I love that there's room to grow your collections! Moving because of the weather is totally valid 😆

[@user-qp9rf7qc6f]

Corgi! I love the new setup, especially the separate space for fumes. Living the dream!

[@agamagreen]

It’s an awesome, organized and tidy workshop flat! ❤ Very cool! 😊 For your back wall in the living room you could hang a board there, put another Monstera on this shelf and place some small statues there 😁👍 Have a great time in Madeira! ✌️☺️

[@wassupyoutube6322]

Guys I just wanna say that you guys are amazing and you guys are literally the ones who got me into cosplay. Now I am making a Functional Chainsaw man Helmet!

[@markhalford1972]

Amazing space and the very best of luck to you om you new adventure. Your work is inspirational and you guys are amazing!!much love

[@lickylips]

Well done on the move!

[@lablackunicorn1293]

you could use some Display ! like the brand so you can change your posters and have some fan art of your favorit games or even photos of yours cosplays, it could be fun ^^

[@JB-7734]

I mean 2 Statues with your Cosplay armors could stay in the living room corners like guardians. If they can hold poses even better. And plants might be missing. If you are moderatly good at keeping plants a wall garden would look amazing too. Or place fake ones, like fake vines on the wall and some other plants standing in front.

[@victoriadauria8904]

Being Portuguese and from the islands I was so surprised you both moved there. I hope it's working out for you.

[@arielahvm]

For the living room area, I'd make the DVD shelf taller and put some artwork behind the couch. I love the map you guys have where it shows places you've traveled!

[@user-yr2su8hi2y]

I'm so happy for you i's à dream come true! I'm closer to you now i can't believe this! 🥰

[@hannah1989]

I am so happy for you guys. You‘ve made no secret that Germany was not meant to be your home. And Madeira is truly breathtaking. But this is also an opportunity for a collab I would die for. Because AnniTheDuck also lives there and you guys are my favourite Cosplayers! Maybe someday there could be a collab or a photoshoot with matching cosplays. I wish you the best. Love from Germany

[@grparker]

I'd be interested in a video about what got you started doing cosplay, and crafting costumes. And how you guys met. :) Keep up the great work!!

[@vickiemullen660]

It looks fantastic! Such creativity.

[@lobowolff7372]

Muchas felicidades por el gran cambio. La casa se ve hermosa y administraron muy bien los espacios. Mucha fuerza y éxitos en sus futuros proyectos. Saludos desde Argentina.

[@SuicideNeil]

Stunning home and workshop spaces- clearly you need a few dozen Digimon statues for behind the sofa in the living room...

[@dnoelani5588]

Thank you so much for sharing! Its my dream to have an art studio with a view of the ocean! I cant wait to see all the amazing things you make in your new studio(s)!

[@fungol]

for the back wall of the living room: a large oil painting of the corgis (maybe in cosplay?). also, framed photos of you and benny, in cosplay and not. I don't see many photos anywhere in what you showed.

[@neothedarkknight8094]

welcome to Portugal

[@JukaPamusa]

Ich liebe einfach das 'So!'. Fehlt nur noch das Kamui sich dabei die Hände auf die Oberschenkel schlägt und aufsteht.

[@Bun800]

tbh, I really just wanna know where your iconic heart dress is from! I don't wear dresses often, but it's so cute!

[@CrankyPantss]

It looks lovely. I hope you, Benni, and the pups have very happy and healthy lives there.

[@amnotraccoon]

I love seeing your new place! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@lawrenade]

God I love you guys so so much!! You’ve inspired me so much in my cosplay crafting and so happy to see you living your best life ❤

[@milanteia]

Well done, everything is organized and neat. For me this is a workshop dream.❤ Thank you for the video.🙏 Please tell me what is the area of ​​the room?

[@natashabiffe8674]

I'm very happy for you, it's a good achievement and a great challenge to change your life like this. you are amazing! I'm going to visit Portugal and I want to visit Madeira too, who knows we can meet and have a coffee!?

[@itsalblake6350]

Wow so pretty organised❤❤, soo cool a laser cutter tuto, yes yes yes pleaseee and see you on twitch

[@whitneynewton9063]

Your workshop is absolute goals! It's so amazing! In terms of the living room that back wall needs to be a shrine of some sorts ! Props or a painted mural ? Or maybe get floating shelves for the statues ?? Either way love the new workshop and thank you for the tour !

[@richardhall6324]

Love what you do, nice to see how happy you are with your new shop. Time for a new shirt that was last yrs, by the way thank you for show me how to work with the LED lights

[@reprinted3D]

Congratulations on your new space! I'd love to see Benni do a video on the laser cutter.

[@AlexHaan]

Oh. You said Portugal and tiny Island. And briefly I thought it could be. I've been to Madeira on vacation. The temperature is great year long! Haven't seen or felt as much from the island as one could, since I was restricted by organised coach travel. But still saw beautiful things.

[@Hernan_Deyvi2023]

excellent movement, I wish you much happiness and success in Portugal

[@AbeyantHero]

You can always string across the room ceiling to display more props. I see that dinner in themed Monster hunter venues. Portugal was very beautiful when I went. What kind of visa options do they have for people wanting to relocate there?

[@thatotherguy7596]

I love your enthusiasm Svetlana 😊 Hi Benni. ❤
