It's a pretty shocking thing to be excitedly opening a package and finding a part of a German toilet, USED part of a German toilet. I like that black tar soup! That was a very cool way of adding some flowing ripples and texture to the lava by using Mod Podge and the air from an airbrush! This came out really nice Knarb! Quick question: Did you notice if the resin pour seemed to get really hot while it was drying? Or were you able to cool it by turning off the heat in your workspace?
Thanks T-Nu. This resin cures quite slowly, so I don't think it got very hot at all. The instructions say the optimal curing temp is around 20-25celsius, so I dont think I should be chilling it further.
@@KnarbMakes Excellent, good to know. I saw a tutorial where they were talking about how the heat generated can sometimes produce bubbles or get insanely hot. However, they were doing much deeper pours. Thanks for the info!
10mm or 12mm would also make for more figures on the table. Cheaper for a DM to put together a tribe of Orcs too for example. Typical reasons why wargamers like it. Downside is individuals are less distinguishable (not such a serious issue for an army with uniform uniforms anyway) and most fantasy figures are in 25mm-28mm (not such an issue if you're 3d printing everything). One interesting benefit is that "smallish" dragons end up being twice the size in comparison which is nice. I'm actually all for it.
i only have one tiny little problem with the entire thing, only bronze weapons or armor can be cast in molds like that. harder metals get brittle if cast the harder the metal the more it becomes like glass xD so id imagine dwarven metals to shatter like crystal glass if dropped on the ground if someone had cast it in a mold. Otherwise fantastic work it looks amazing
Unless that guys cistern has ever been victim to a "Double Decker" attack then that flusher device should be to totally sanitary as cisterns only have clean drinkable water pass through them.😅
hey something i do to really rip upedgeaof rock areas thatmaysave you some time....take a drywall saw and drag actoss edges it really makes it non uniform just a thought
Hahaha, the moment you unpacked the "thing" I recognized it - too often had I to fix something not working with it 😅 And your build is absolutely insane amazing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was just watching a Boylei Hobby Time video before this, and before that I had been playing Deep Rock Galactic (Dwarves mining in space) - I almost feel personally attacked by RU-vid for this suggestion, lol.
Dude ... your a fucking nerd man. This is awsome. You do very very good work. Sometimes people just have to take others words for it. Your very good at what you do. Looks awsome. Take care bud.
It's always humorous how we associate lava and magma with dwarven forges. Magma doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to forge iron, never mind steel, and lava only BARELY reaches the minimum temperatures needed for iron, but still nowhere near enough for steel. It's one of those fantasy tropes that's wholly cemented in the rule of cool :)
Alternatively. The magma could actually be the source of mineral ore for this foundry, since it could contain trace elements of precious metals. Why mine it if the metals come to you :)
If you like Dwarfs this much like me there is a fantastic book saga called The Dwarves by a German author Markus Heitz it’s a beautiful story which was also made into game on the PS4 which has some fantastic points for reference you can buy the book and it’s also on audible if anyone is interested
That looks awesome. Maybe something else you can do to make the lava more realistic Is dremel some waves in it especially around the edges of the resin. Check out minibricks if you haven’t done so they do that a lot. Great work
this is awesome, crackle paint would've made the lava look great, especially if it was the black one to give it that glowing through a surface film type of look
Gotta love friends who are just as crazy as us, to the point where they'll air-mail parts of a German toilet's water reservoir halfway across the world to lend a helping hand! 🤣
Funny how the mind works when toilets are concerned. Out come the gloves even though the cistern holds clean water for flushing. In an emergency you can drink the water, just don't add any blocks of bleach 😜 Great build by the way
@@KnarbMakes your insta pictures are glorious haha. I highly recommend people check out your work on there. You can def see how well that effect was pulled off.
First let me say I have followed you for a while and always have thought your talent is amazing but knowing that you also design your own...I dont even know the proper terminology I'm so tech ignorant lol...prints?, for 3D printing just blows my mind! Its probably covered in past videos I just don't comment much. Second. I have been wondering about using tiles as base material and now I know it's a viable option, thanks!
Awesome build. Love the idea of building a diorama that fits in a cubic foot, and painting in the contrasting warm/cool hues really sold the scale and richness of color. Awesome.
Wowow! What an incredible build! So awesome to see someone else who designs their own models to print. It adds a lot of extra work but totally worth it to get exactly what you're looking for. What software do you use for your designs?
Great video! Loved the Modge Podge air brush ripples, first time I have seen that technique. What do you do with these diorama's do they get sent to the Met for display? PS Shhh, but your's was so much better....
I just posted a pic on my instagram with the LEDs on and my room lights dimmed very low. You can see the effect much better. instagram.com/p/CatDvxbsuUO/
Awesome work! Would've really loved to see the piece with all of the LED's on at the end of the video. Hope there wasn't an electrical issue. I know that sucks.
Have you done any blacksmithing? Because you got the forging area pretty spot on... anvil within steps of the heat. Everything looks awesome, and I'd love to swing my hammer there hahaha. Epic build!
I LOVE Boylei's old west series and I'm digging your dwarf series too (see what I did there... digging... nevermind) I didn't realize I was a diorama fan. You and Boylei are convincing me.
