Hey Bobby, I don't think you will see this, but we are all so proud of how far you have came. You have been the light in the dark for some of us, me especially. Your videos have helped me find joy through my parents divorce, my own mental illness, and everything life has thrown at me, thank you BobbyDuke.

5:23 i saw the bookcase sticker and I did NOT buy for a single second that you would EVER resort to such a shortcut. Not on this channel. And not even half a second later I was proven right 😂 I'm sure I'm not the only one. Your creativity, attention to detail, and sense of humor, man. Good to see you again, I hope you and the family are doing well.

I was about to slide in here like, "Hey, man. Can we get the name of that hobby store? Not because I want to be a creep or anything, just because good hobby stores are so hard to find and I get to the DFW area every so often." BUT THEN HE TOLD US AT THE END. A LEGEND. 😭 So glad to see a video from you, Bobby! You know it's a good day when there's a new Bobby Duke video out ❤

Purrfect suggestion. Replying to boost this comment. Reasons this is a great idea, and even better than having the cat on the sill inside: Having the cat on the rail would give viewers a clue that this is LoFi girl's house, even before they look in and see her. If this cat had been sitting in the window, it would block our view of LoFi girl.

I am so happy. Thank you for coming back to grace us with some Ghibli, Bobby Duke style! Putting the wires through the drain pipe was amazingly smart, and the pipe itself is a nice touch.

Bobby, Mr. Dukey, sir. I don’t know if anyone else has said this or not, but I’m truly, genuinely glad that when you hit your low point you were able to recognize it and get the help you needed, and to channel the left over into your art, rather than let it destroy your family and your happiness. Your art is beautiful and your journey is admirable, and I pray for your continued happiness and improvement

I really appreciate Bobby being so open about his mental health. Thank you. I watch the videos for relaxation but I feel like they are a full on therapy and also a lesson in art all at the same time. When you said "everyone is going through something" it helped me frame my past traumas differently to think that instead of being angry something bad happened to kinda realise that bad things are a part of life to face and everyone is in it together. Hope that makes sense. Legitimately really helped just that one phrase. The house is so satisfying.

I never knew you had addiction issues too!!! I started watching you because I remembered how I used to love to make things when I was little so I wondered if it would still bring me as much joy. When I found out it did, I searched KZread like a crazy bitch for inspo people & you were the only one I could connect with. Proper neurospicy with a mental sense of humour. Thank you for helping me stay away from the dark side & sharing your unworldly talents, you’ve no idea how much you help me 🙌🏻

the calm music juxtaposed with the robbery scenes crack me up. im sure the folks at those stores recognize your face and get excited with a "so i have this idea. im gonna have to rob you tho"

Watching you all these years has single-handedly expanded my creator vocabulary. So happy to have you back on the youtubes! We missed ya.

For the cat, it looked like you used mod podge for the "glass". If you did you could probably use some bits of wet cotton around the window (like where glazing would be) since that glue is water soluble. Then put in your cat and reglue the window from the outside (using some tape or sticky tack to pull it in place.) If you used super glue (and it almost looks like you did on that one) you would have to take a blade and remove the glass. Alternately, it might be possible to remove the sign on the front, make a hole in the foam and fish your cat in from under the window. Then the sign would cover the "scar" (at least from the outside.

"Yes I made tiny bookcases, I'm sick, sick I tell you" But but but making tiny bookcases is fun! I love your diorama

About 25 or so years ago my friends at the time and I used to hang out at a local hobby store (kind of a mix of craft & comic store) and there was a gas station right next to it where we'd go and get drinks, snacks, and lunch. This reminded me of the kind of attitude they had. We were all buds. The house looks great. Thanks for giving Lo-fi girl a fitting home.

You have a unique and beautiful imagination, it's hard to fit that into the homogeneous, hum-drum world. ❤ Thank you for choosing to get help. We really love having you on Earth (& KZread.)

I don't even have the words for how incredible this is. The details are absolutely immaculate; I loved the Miyazaki on her computer screen. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am by this build. This is my first time watching one of your videos and I'm in awe.

Your voiceover playing over whimsical music felt like a wild mashup of your usual style with one of those japanese miniature makers like Hanabira. Very appropriate for a ghibli project!

My close friend just lost her husband to liver failure due to alcoholism. He was only 42. I’m glad for you AND your family that you recognized you had a problem and are continuing, every day, to combat it. The world is a better place with a physically and mentally healthy YOU in it. I’m also grateful that you take time away from your goofy side to address serious issues. WEWD!

As usual, your craftsmanship levels are off the charts. You would have truly been amazing in the past where people really valued and cherished intricate art like this. We obviously all cherish it on here, and you are undeniably one of the greatest craftsman who has ever lived, but I wish you could get even more recognition for your art. I hope you continue to work through your issues, and know that there are so many people who genuinely want to see you succeed in life.

Hey Bobby, I don’t know if you’ll see this comment but I just wanted to say that, I came back to this video because I am going through an extremely difficult time right now and your videos are very comforting to me. It was nice to hear you talk about how you struggle too because it feels good to know I’m not alone in mental health struggles. I admire your work and videos and it’s always good to see someone you admire be so honest about themselves. I really appreciate your content and I hope it gets easier for you, and I hope you have a good day/night ❤

Thank you for being so open and candid about what's been going on. My anxiety has been really bad lately and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you Bobby, you are a bright spot in my otherwise dim world.

It always makes my day whenever Bobby uploads. I've been watching this channel for about 6 years now and it still remains as one of my favorites on all of KZread. And as a huge Ghibli fan I have to say that this video is just a treat. Beautiful work as always.

It always makes my day better when there's a Dukey! The house is glorious, I look forward to seeing how you resolve the cat issue. Perhaps, at the same time, you can resolve the stair issue.... ie: How does low--fi girl get upstairs??? Or is that also in part 2? Can't wait for PART TWO!!!!

My son loves anything miniature especially these types of beautiful buildings. I am just so clumsy and the constant dropping of stuff I would probably endure would make me lose my mind completely. I gotta say that I truly admire your skills and patience in making such a stunning piece. I can't wait for part 2 and will be recommending your channel to my son.

Love this, love your honesty, (7yrs 2mos+ sober), love that you still make mistakes and show them to us.

I’ve watched you since way back when and I must say your art has the same attention to detail but your video art has gone above and beyond. I can totally relate to forgetting the cat feelings and drama. I would live there for certain. Wonderful work. ✌🏻🤍

Proof that creatives with ADHD are a gift to the planet! ✨ Love this!

Not only am I looking forward to part 2 but I’m also hopeful for more mini builds like this from Bobby Duke. One of the most thought out and detailed projects I’ve seen. Love it!

I watched that whole thing with my jaw on the floor. Just . . . amazing! Your talent is truly inspiring; now back to work on my own (decidedly un-artistic) projects!

I'm sure you get this all the time, but you really are a Renaissance man. Your talent really has no bounds. Looking forward to part two where you put Shrodinger's cat in the house.

So neat to hear where you get your inspirations from. You have such a creative mind… how you figure all this stuff out is beyond me. Talent!

I have that tiny bookstore model thing and it’s by far my favorite one I’ve ever done! It was super easy and actually came out looking really nice

I’ve been watching your videos for some time now. I even got my parents into some of your videos. It’s always worth the wait, and I love the effort you put in to pleasing your audience. Love you Bobby!❤️

How is better help still kicking?
