Does this world have welding??? because if I were trying to build this in real life welding and bolts would be much easier from a construction standpoint. Maybe see if you can find a hexagonal punch, or a rod of hexagonal plastic that can be cut into bolt heads. You can find weld seam tutorials on military tank builds on youtube.

[@jaylomcd667]

Adding figures will add life add scale to the peace. A racoon or smurf like person having a cuppa on the balcony enjoying the cool night air

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I feel like there would be a worn out boot with the last iving plant on Earth living in the bottom crane compartment. If I had one complaint though, it's that you don't have more videos to watch. I guess I'll just have to keep rewatching stuff until I have more of this ridiculously excellent content to consume.

I'll never stop saying this, you deserve a lot more attention, loving this series! Btw you said that the fungi was being blamed for genetic mutations in humans right? So how about a mutation that caused some people to be born smaller, maybe with longer arms, kind of primate-like proportions, and they were shunned away by other Overs, cause we know how good humans are with anything different from what's "normal". So they had to hide in the forests and become nomads? Random idea lol keep this up, can't wait to see more!

[@gameyybuilds]

This is great! Another commenter just had a similar thought, I think I can definitely work with this!

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks!

[@Nedzizzle]

Pine forests? Dumpsters? Mechanisms? A clan of reclusive, crafty, anthropomorphic, raccoon engineers (ala Rocket Raccoon) definitely live here! Maybe they are the only ones who can aide a hero on their main quest but are either apprehensive, jaded, or too depressed to want to help without the completion of a whole other side quest! Good luck finding them, and if you do, good luck catching them, that tower is a lot more mobile than it looks!

[@blizatrex]

Looks great. I think something like a mutant Raccoon family would call this home. It reminds me of Mortal Engines.

[@Gokou3036]

Those wall e treads looked great, glad to see the idea get re used here.

Too many amazing points to mention! It's funny I keep seeing things that I plan on doing and you're doing it better than I will 😂😂 Nice and polished as always 👍

I would like to think that there are scavenging, Jawa type creatures that live there. The dumpster gives that vibe😂 May I suggest “Coongas”? Inspired by raccoons

[@restock_1731]

Besides the awesomeness of your builds, the best part of these videos is the commentary, sometimes I'm literally laughing out loud. It's a joy to watch you work, and you have a vibe that's catchy and makes me want to create something, but I'm kinda lazy and lack a good imagination. Lol. Love your builds. 👍

I just love how you are using so many every day things to create these dioramas. I’ve always been fascinated with miniatures and its smallest detail from the creator. I’m excited to start my adventure with this type of craft and watching videos like yours truly gets me inspired to try and to never give up. Your craft is truly a masterpiece. Thank You.

​@@FanroghscornerHuh, I like that idea; a group of nomadic, mutant trash-pandas travelling from ruined city to city looking for scraps to survive on. Heck, the story basically writes itself. 👍👍

For wood grain effect, try a wire brush with stainless steel bristles (stainless bristles flex less and can give a deeper groove)

[@ZackRToler]

I like to think it's inhabited by a group of orphans like from Fuga: Melodies of Steel from CyberConnect2 Edit: LOVE the use of corrugated cardboard to have that corrugated tin roof feel Edit2: I wonder what kind of structures might be made out of old rusted cars, buses, airplanes, trains, etc.

[@gameyybuilds]

That's a super cool idea. It would be neat to try to come up with things like that by repurposing plastic toys or model kits. I'll have to keep my eye out!

[@pluralfuture9362]

I could see a bunch of little moving buildings or even little moving shanty towns built like this. Maybe the inhabitants are crows, their minds pushed further along thanks to the Blight. After all, they already use tools in our world. Though I imagine it was only their minds that evolved, as the idea of intelligent birds welding together this tower and building a little fireplace to relax by is a nice little image in my mind.

What looks better then Just cotton wool, is cotton wool with watered down PVA. This way the smoke looks way more realistic and not So fuzzy and fluffy. Smoke mosty isn't fuzzy like cotton wool is. It has 'clear borders'. A other plus side, is that the cotton wool with watered down PVA dries rock hard! Maybe some next to try out. 🤪👍

[@carrie4910]

Omg the tree build steps 😂

[@dan8402]

Loved this build. At 14:47 I haven't laughed this hard in a long long time. There are a million ways to make trees. This being said, if you want to see some of the best model trees in roughly 1/87 scale I have ever seen, check out Boomer Diorama. He has an HO scale shelf layout and does some wonderful model building. he does some great weathering and painting using mainly vellejo or Tamyia paints, and does what he calls a wet on wet painting. His techniques can be used in multiple applications. He inspired me to pick back up my hobbies again after a decade or more break.

[@gameyybuilds]

I'll take a look!

[@twistedstix4277]

Love the process, props to you, I can't stand painting 😅

[@StressBoat]

I like to think that in this setting, raccoons evolved enough to do human like stuff. like being more tech savvy, using tools, moving boxes, and wearing overals. Because racoons like to hang out in dumpsters and also live in the forest, they decided to combine the two and make a dunpster house. The best of both worlds!

[@sammimadanat9693]

I have never wanted to live in dumpster more.

13:58 I believe Adam Savage would call this "hiding the crimes" :D

[@greentoast9125]

Track idea. Thin eva craft foam, scored track links, heat gun to open up the scoring

[@jwatson15]

Probably a bit late but one possible idea is the resident of each layer is in charge of something. Like the one in the top dumpster with the water tower is essentially in charge of keeping whatever water system maintained. Because they're literally the closest to it they're in charge of collection, purification and plumbing. And whoever is in the bottom house would be in charge of the engines and treads etc. And whoever's in the middle house could be in charge of either the structure and giving it maintained or the general jack of all trades. Or might even be in charge of resource gathering like hunting or firewood or whatever.

[@gameyybuilds]

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Adding to what others have said I think that due to there being no ladders or other ways to access each floor perhaps the "people" living in this ether are able to fly short distances due to having small wings or climb without ladders.

[@Sparrow_Bloodhunter]

yeah I'd live in that.
