It was an absolute pleasure to make this for ‪@neca‬ and work with ‪@DGDXanimation‬ on the design and logistics.
Projects like these are dream projects and I hope you enjoy seeing the #behindthescenes on this build.
This took me 4 months working whenever I could find time to complete this, this was shipped out back in early summer 2022, so I have been holding onto to this video very patiently since then, although my channel members got to see 2 exclusive build videos with extra footage and explanations over 9 months ago, thank you members!

Wow! This is incredible. I just started making my own dioramas recently for my gargoyles figs. I actually thought about trying the clock tower. Now that I've seen yours, I'm kinda wanting to work on something else. I'm not discouraged, just love all the different stuff you're using to create with. Just wow. I probably would have tried to do it solely with xps foam.

Your craftmanship is on another level up high! I am curious though, where Neca is going to use this. I am guessing for promo shots. But that ending with 5 minutes of that music hahahah, oh my .... It brought me back to my younger days playing games on the Amiga and having a song running in game non stop until you got fed up with the song and thus the game too, hahah :)

It took 4 months, calculate a very skilled wage plus expenses and taxes and materials and what that would cost per hour, and then times it by about 300hours. That should give you some idea

@@OilersWorkshop Your Sarkiness makes me so happy, I thought it was a lost art in the colonies, I didn't complain about the video because I actually enjoyed it (apart from the above complaints) I watch all your videos and have learned a lot from them. But in truth that music was difficult to deal with I'd turn the volume up to hear what you had to say, and then BOOM BOOM BOOM, it scared my cat! So I was constantly having to adjust the volume. As for the final 5 mins was that there so we could help with watching the paint dry? oh PS I forgive you for spelling my name wrong.
