I see what you are doing appealing to the algorithm with "what hides under the surface" trying to get those creepy water diorama clicks Squidmar! :P

What's the lead time on late pledges for your brushes?

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

@@ArtOfTyTy hey mate, depends on when you ordered. We've had a big delay caused by the factory of the boxes, but we're currently packing all rest orders and the last ones should go out this coming Friday if there's no further delays.

@@SquidmarMiniatures I ordered about a month ago

[@Totally_A_Bot]

Squidmar this is the 17th week in a row you've shown tau manta in class.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

Yes, but this is the last one :D showing everything in one video for those who havent been able to follow the series :D hahaha

I think as a 12-13 year old my toes would have curled up and I would have died of envy on the spot. Even now in my late 30’s I want to go and build my own epic diorama. This video is so inspiring, thanks for show off the amazing work.

[@PreposterousJellyfish]

This art piece deserves its own full length video of just glamour shots and super close ups of each and every detail - there are so many! Way more than can fit in a 2 minute montage like here... Either way, absolutely amazing, mind-blowingly good job guys.

[@Muenni]

Yes! I was hoping to get that with this video instead of a recap. Still hoping!

[@nickkohlmann]

This... such beauty makes a grown man's eyes water. You just created the new main centre piece for Warhammer World. What a journey.

[@niarlatotepbasset]

One of the best diorama I’ve seen, the weathering is done awesomely 🤘.

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

[@jasontrinque]

Awesome video! I want to see a blooper reel of all the things that went wrong during the process because I love seeing how you guys problem solve and adjust along the way! Really inspiring!

[@kaz9357]

A blooper real would be fun. A recap of some crazy expensive diorama, it was nice.

[@ladyianite1275]

you can watch his whole series on it that includes the whole process, including all the mess ups along the way

[@Kidfry]

I have no hesitation declaring this to be the most awesome hobby project I have ever seen in life. It's been fun watching it slowly evolve and take shape over the past year or so. Congrats on a fantastic job!

"A miniature so big, it could barely be built!" Remember when they built a half scale Titanic in a desert?

[@Tommo91-p2c]

I feel like standing up in my living room and applauding. Wow. What a fun journey to have been able to watch from start to finish ❤️

[@Vortid]

Hats off to the editor with the music choice. What a great idea with a kind of solemn ending to it all. Feel like I just watched an epic movie. And I guess I did!

[@georgesawyer9653]

The weathering and damage detail blows my mind every time I see it! You guys should be so proud of this one!

[@ohmsweetohm8045]

Have been doing dioramas for 4 years now and i can only imagine the hours put in this! Wish my painting was this crisp. Outstanding work!!

[@jaydixit7112]

Yes, I watched the entire 27 minutes. Rewinding quite a few times to take in the process and I'm glad I did as it made the final reveal so much more breathtaking, impressive and beautiful (and enormous) than it already is.

[@peteclark4755]

You guys have done something so far beyond anything I could have imagined being done with a diorama within this hobby!

[@wilhelmspruck3544]

I now realise that this Video series has acompanied me for more than a year now and what joy I felt every time a new video was added :) thank you very much!

[@Nic_AI]

Not only the best diorama I’ve ever seen but it makes you all, in my eyes, the true 2022 golden demon champions! A true masterpiece

[@gazimoff]

Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you. I can’t believe it’s been 14 months, but the payoff has been so very worth it. Your persistence and determination is amazing. I hope you’re taking a well-deserved break before launching into your next big project, but the Kickstarter sounds pretty massive!

[@Overcharge231]

I hope you guys enter this into a competition, after all that hard work, it truely looks amazing. I got into mini painting about 14 months ago, and have been watching your channel ever since :)

[@stupidfrog2205]

Hey Squidmar guys, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this series and I hope you do something similar in the future. Everytime a new video would come out I'd tell my wife and we would sit and watch it together on the PS4. She isn’t even into the hobby but she thought the project was pretty cool and liked seeing your progress. Watching your series became something we did together. Thanks

[@TLTeo]

Absolutely breathtaking. If someone ever opens a Museum of Nerdy Art or something, this deserves to be the centerpiece of the exhibit.

[@olligator22]

This has to be one of the most incredible dioramas I have ever seen!! I am awed, simply awed!! You guys are true artists on another level!! It's a privilege to watch your work!!

[@Archangel_Kali]

Thank you very much for making a supercut of all of this! I wanted to go back through it all, but there really was so much.

[@markstott6689]

It's quite astonishing/astounding the skills needed and the commitment to create this work of art. It's been a fun 14 months following your journey. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnbrennan9617]

That thing is amazing. It's been so much fun watching all of this unfold since it's inception, all the way now to the grandest of all grand reveals

[@chester1882]

The music and flow of this video is an epic capstone to the Manta Saga, but I’d still recommend watching the whole series because the journey is just as important as the destination!!

[@bladieeightwheels]

Take note world you guys deserve all the attention you get for this piece you have done justice to one hell of a model and one hell of a team great work and thank you so much.

[@THEATOMBOMB035]

This was amazing, beautiful, and what a story it tells! I like the dead t'au who was holding his helmet. I like to think he died on impact and the one survivor was right next to him, a brother, a friend. The surviving t'au placed the helmet in his friends arms and left him there. Forever ready to defend the greater good even in death. GOD so much story on this piece!

[@maddienight732]

I'm so proud of you guys!! Your hard work, love and dedication to your craft is amazing. Thank you for letting us be part of this journey ❤

[@gileadgaming6203]

That is so cool! I remember watching the first video of you talking about the Manta and the whole idea. And then every other week a video would pop on my feed about the ongoing steps. I watched the last one, really awesome, but this condensed version, for everyone who watched the whole thing since the start, is even better. Awesome job, Squidmar!

[@pascal3997]

can't believe it's been 14 months o.O what an absolute masterpiece. With this vid recapping the entire process, it's absolutely astounding how many details are in this one diorama. Legendary!

That was a beautiful song to display the magnitude and loss, experienced from the crashing of the iconic tau vehicle. Well chosen.

[@tortuegeniale3044]

Bonjour messieurs, Je regarde énormément de dioramas car j’aime beaucoup la créativité qui s’en dégage mais je dois avouer que celui ci est réellement à part : les couleurs sont magnifiques, les détails innombrables, la minutie des personnages est bluffante C’est bien simple : je ne vois pas un seul élément qui ne s’harmonise pas avec les autres C’est du grand art !!! Merci pour ce partage 👍

[@KenjiMapes]

I love interests & hobbies. I am really fond of crafts, model building & the DIY & Maker sphere world. I have a lot of various interests which is a good & bad thing. Anyway, I am always inspired by & in awe of people who are supremely talented & passionate about an art or craft like this. When you live & breath something, it’s truly a beautiful thing. Maybe if we recognized how much we share passions, interests & crafts then we would have less contention like we do in the world now. Glad I stumbled upon this channel. Sometimes the algorithm god sends us gold & not some detritus.😉

Makes me miss building small models and miniatures of battle scenes, def gonna have to get back into that altho I dont have any of my stuff anymore. Definately one of the best and most fulfilling hobbies Ive ever had.

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Incredible diorama - the clarity of the epoxy lake, the weathering effects and the landscaping is magnificent. But the Pièce de résistance is the waterfall from the intake fairing. It gives this diorama "motion" - even though it's not moving. Amazing talent! BTW - Death to the heretic, purge the xenos, cleanse the mutant!

[@jameswarren423]

Gentlemen, your talents are mind blowing. This is one of the best dioramas I have ever seen. Your attention to detail is just mind blowing. This is like a museum quality piece of artwork !Great video and great work.👍🏼🤩❤️
