It’s like David Attenborough began narrating tabletop crafting.

I came here because of the booknook, stayed for the commentary. Also, I wanted to offer some help! There's a machinist tool called an automatic center punch that might make those window holes much quicker. My one concern is that it might be too big. Another is the use of Culture Hustle's Black 3.0 for the sky. Its almost as black as Vantablack but its affordable and far less toxic while still absorbing most of the light. Regardless, you now have yourself a subscriber and I look forward to seeing the rest of your creations!

Hello. Thank you for your kind words :) Ah! I so wish I'd had a centre punch. What a dream that would have been. My tiny drill was a right pickle sometimes. Thank you very much for the paint tip. I will definitely get some of that good stuff. It's worth noting that without any filming lighting on, it is much darker and more atmospheric inside the nook. Also, and rather oddly, the nook is much smaller in real life. It looks way bigger on screen. That surprised me! :D

Very cool!! Loved the commentary !

@MogsWorkshop

2 жыл бұрын

Hello, thank you! It really doesn't cost much at all. Styrene sheeting is just a few £ per pack and the paints were mostly little Citadel pots, plus some oils. These days the electronics can be very reasonable. For example an Adafruit Trinket is just £13 and can do so much. Model railway shops sell things like tiny flower pots and other decorations for low prices (because you won't need many). The rest is just persistence. I can't wait to see what you make! 🙂🎩
