Haha yeah man sucked but lessons were definitely learned and I'm glad the fore wasn't worse. Cheers 👍👍

Thanks dude! Really appreciate the kind words and its moments like that, that can show you what your really made of. 👍👍👍

Amazing! Sound great and good luck with your build

I agree, he nailed it. Very cool. I think it even looked better the second time.

Glad you liked it!

Haha yeah the irony is something that I can look back on now and it actually makes me smile and is somehow fitting with the scene I created. Pleased I pushed through and finished it and learned a lot about the strength of determination. Thabks for watching 👍

Yeah haha the power of destruction! Took a lot of will power and motivation to rebuild it but I'm glad it stuck with it.

@@creativecuts7803 I am glad you did too. And glad you shared the whole lot with us.

Haha don't tempt me. Could be a really cool idea. This one did end up being pretty big so will have to think of a way to capture the scene without making half of Vietnam. Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you Allan. It was a bit of a journey - but like you said most would have given up and tossed it. Don't get me wrong, I was very tempted but to salvage it, even with scorched hands taught me a lot about perseverance. Thank you for watching! 👍👍

Welcome Josh, chilled vibe here. Thanks for watching

Thanks! Yeah it sucked pretty bad but i learned a lot from finding the will and determination to continue with it. Happy I did!!

Thank you. Yeah I really tried to get an huge explosion at different stages. It wasn't easy but I am pretty happy with the result.

Thank you. Really appreciate your support and for your kind words. Glad you liked it! 👍👍👍

I can tell you I did more than gasp haha but I had gained enough xp for a motivation power up which let me complete the level ^^

Nice one John, yeah I was absolutely gutted. But more impressed that I found the motivation to rebuild it. Many lessons learned. Onwards we march 👍👍

@@creativecuts7803 I would have been too! The end result was fantastic so well done for remaking it and not giving up!

Yeah tough break but the irony isn't lost on me. Thanks for stopping by

Cheers dude. Much appreciated!!

Cheers

Yeah the irony is real with this one. Can laugh about it now but at the time it was pretty tough. Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍

I think your message got cut halfway through but I understand your sentiment. Yeah completely heart broken but also a huge lesson is determination and perseverance. Finding the inner will to take a breath and continue. Also taught me to be far less precious with my work. So many times I fall into the trap of mental paralysis because I don't want to mess up all the hard work I put in already but now I understand that mistakes will be made but I also have the capacity to fix them. Thanks for watching

🙏👍

Thanks dude. Much appreciated 🙏

👍👍👍

👍👍👍

Haha I gave the explosions a bit of a wide birth after this one. Still haunts me too. But I have become much more familiar with working with resin since then so defo will not make the same mistakes again. 👍

@@creativecuts7803 I watched the viking longboat vid yesterday... As soon as you started pulling out the cotton wool for the fire, I felt like I was gonna have a panic attack.

👍👍👍

Haha thank you. I like to keep in shape. Thanks for watching

Clucking bell indeed! Haha my heart sank but really pleased I pushed through and finished. Thanks for watching

Thanks!! Appreciate the support

Much appreciated. I wrote my dissertation on the representations of the Vietnam war in film and art. Apocalypse now was on of my favourite movies and the music of the era is unrivalled. Glad you liked it

Hahaha I know right?

I wish I could say I did. Having to reorder some materials, wait for them to arrive and rebuild the whole thing sucked hard!! But also a good lesson in finding the courage and will power to continue when your staring at a smouldering mess. Thanks for watching👍👍👍

👍👍👍

Haha yeah to day it was a bit of a blow was an understatement. But I surprised myself with how I managed to go from a melting mess to something that I was happy with again. All part of the roller coaster of life haha. Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you. It took a bit of searching to find the right model. I even ordered one which was completely the wrong scale. Lessons learned. But basically did a lot of searching online as I wanted a model that was relevant to the era.

Hahaha yes it did involve some serious determination to finish this one. But pleased I did and lessons learned

Yeah the irony isn't lost on me. For a split second as I saw the flames grow, I thought damm that looks cool but reality kicked in and I was screaming for a fire extinguisher haha. Not all projects go to plan but happy with the result. Thanks for taking the time and appreciate the kind words

I love the music from that era so was trying to set the tone as much as possible. Really appreciate you watching.

Haha I was heartbroken... but I also learned a lot about my limits of patience and pleased I managed to fix it up in the end.

No offence taken at all. Obviously I would have preferred for it not to happen but after it did, I looked at it and thought ...OK I can only build with what is infront of me. Life works out strange sometimes haha👍👍👍

Thanks man, yeah sucked hard but finding the perseverance and determination to finish was an accomplishment in itself. Thabks for watching

Plaster would have worked too. I guess i was trying to seal up the gaps in the polystyrene with the clay. Reason I used clay - because I had a load leftover haha.

@@creativecuts7803 Thanks my dude. Super helpful. I imagine it also gave it some weight and stability! Great project. 👍

Really interesting comment. I have been thinking a lot about how much music I should include. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for getting involved.

I messaged on another video saying you should use lofi music if any as it’s very chilled and less in your face. Also I forgot to add but when the fire went off on the project it looked amazing, you should have re done the lights and the wool but then tried to use the fire accident as it looked like a bomb went off for real. Still love the work though

Indeed. Life takes funny turns at times. The irony was real with this one

Haha to say things went south is an understatement but happy with the end result. 👍

👍👍👍👍

Hahaha obviously I would have preferred not to have it burn but you can only build with what is infront of you right? Not ideal but ill work with it if its there 👍

Wow Scale junkie I can see you are really working your way through my back catalogue. I'm glad your enjoying them. New video dropping today

Not at all. I can just about see the funny side now. It almost felt like this project was cursed but the irony is somehow priceless

Haha I hear what you are saying. That's 5 years of art school talking. But interesting that you mention it. As that is the maIn focus. To be myself. Appreciate the feedback 👍

After watching the video, I'm having trouble understanding what you mean by this. What words in particular are you referring to?

@@creativecuts7803 My dude, you are perfectly understandable. I'm not sure what this guy is on about...

Can you give some examples of words you couldn't understand or felt were somehow pretentious...?

@@creativecuts7803 Omg what have I started... Firstly, I'm not in no way shape or form discrediting you or intelligence nor the way you speak. Secondly, with out going in to great detail on here, I feel everything whether it's sound or colors and everything in between. Thirdly, words have power hence its called spelling. I feel words/sound and noise the most. Finally, there's nothing in particular about what's said it's the way it's said or constructed and said resulting (to me) as over 'embellished' (for lack of a better word) and coming across as not natural. All I was trying to say it don't over think about what your going to say just be your self and keep up the good work. Im sorry for offending you and all those below in the comments.
