Making a steampunk cottage for my plant

In my second build video, I make a tiny cottage out of wire, paper, foam, and LED bulbs to house my once-homeless pothos plant. It turned out to be a very frustrating junk modelling project. So long as Gilbert is happy though, I'm good!

    The little details of your technique add so much to each of your builds. Painting the shingles backwards?? Genius

    This is such a cool idea! The only thing that I would change: Build a bigger pot, so that when Gilbert eventually outgrows it´s first one, there is no need to build him a new shell immediately. One can always add a layer of water retaining soils or simple aluminium foil on the bottom to match the hight of the smaller plater containing the plant with the hight of the bigger, outer one!

    I bet Gilbert was so happy to have a home all his own. Your painting skills are really good, they really do make your creations come to life, it's very motivational... Since I've watched your videos backwards, R.I.P steampunk cottage home for Gilbert. 😓. Still, an awesome build. 👍

    Thanks Max! I contemplated editing out the mistakes, but then there would've been nothing left to show in the video... 😂 Also, Ghibli is awesome. I listened to the Jazz Ghibli mix as I worked on this. Maybe those vibes crept into the build...

    Just fine! The interior plastic pot is the one holding the soil that gets water, so it has no effect on the exterior or the electronics. LEDs still work too!

    @@jonnyjonjo I understand why it’s doing that, this particular video has the highest watch-through percentage of any video (77%), so YT thinks it must be better than my others, when in fact it’s probably the least interesting thumbnail and build idea. 😂 So sometimes you kind of have to battle the algorithm a bit.
