In this video I celebrate 10K subscribers by spending some time talking about how I started making dioramas and the reasons why as I build a new one. It’s an abandoned hallway with a collapsed ceiling with vines and grass beginning to grow. Thank you for the support this far!

The lighting of your scenes is EVERYTHING !!! I've seen other yt channels making beautiful scale models but none of them come close to the way you use and master lighting and particle effects to sell the illusion ! Breathtaking !

I will be first in line for the Coffee Table book! I think that is the perfect way to get your art into peoples homes that appreciate each scene and still stay true to your vision for the pieces. If your focus is on the lighting and photography of the pieces, the book will be able to capture that so well! Great idea to sell your 3D mini models as well.. so many people are starting to get 3D printers as they are becoming a bit more affordable. Loved this scene and how you build it with all the side doors! Great video as always!

the work you put in these... just wow, I've always casually watched miniature diorama videos, but like... now you make me really engaged in the work and detail that goes into it, especially with your cinematics. you should make a house that looks like it was abandoned suddenly, like... chairs, tables, clothes on the floor, and stuff like that, like the owners were running from some one, like a criminal hide out or something i think that would be a slightly different tone for you.

Congratulations on 10K (now 12K+)! I eagerly await each new video, and would happily support your patreon channel, with or without extra content. Like others I would enjoy a coffee table book. Given your interest in the history of mental health asylums I can imagine you and your art having a fascinating collaboration with mental health foundations.

@AbandonedMiniatures 2 жыл бұрын

I haven’t collaborated with any yet but I certainly support all of the progress we are having in the mental health field. I think one of the biggest lessons to learn from these places are the things we got wrong in the past that need to be done better in the future.

I managed to miss this video when it first came out. I now get that your dioramas are miniature cinematic sets. @Lili Design also makes room dioramas for her stop-motion animations with removable panels. She made a great one of a church before & after being abandoned.

This is just amazing. I've been sufficiently motivated to start a booknook/diarama. But this abandoned look is just over the top. It takes me back to high school 40 years ago. I knew a guy (Robert Ireland) who could draw every nut and bolt of every cool muscle car in existence. and he did it regularly but just as he tells me he'll give it to me he draws the front end or the back end completely smashed in an accident. It was incredible how he could draw twisted metal. Thanks for the memories. Cheers

I've been subbed for about two months now and was introduced to your channel by Bentley House Minis. I've been enjoying all of your videos. It's really cool how you make them all seem so life like. It almost transports you there. Like you could almost smell the dampness and feel the crunch of rumble beneath your shoes. I really enjoyed the one you had built where you added the element of rain. It was so awesome but then I was saddened to see it smashed, but I get that it was already ruined from the water. Anyways all of them are magnificent. Congratulations on 10K subscribers. Here's to seeing you reach 100K and more. 🍻

Thanks you for sharing. To use my words, you give us an authentic experience from your dioramas. I feel like I could have been present when you do your “glamour” scenes, like I’m there. Your love for your work, and the passion you show is an inspiration to me and my artistic efforts. Fun idea to think about for 100k or something. You could make an abandoned mall on a coffee table (I’m thinking like 2x2) with a clear top, so it looks like your flying over head and looking in. Love your work and can’t wait to see what else to bring a life and history to.

Perfectly successful challenge, the rendering allows us to know the atmosphere of places that we are not able to visit. Photo, video diorama make a great team under the baton of the director.
