This scan really shows everything i've done so far but also tells me how good my method of lining up the tunnel with the house Thanks for watching and supporting the project

I’d suggest using foam cut by a CNC router, but that’s what I’m used to.

High density foam is unaffected by water, durable, and can be finished to look like stone. Additionally, the CNC option would allow sections/modularity for ease of installation—that is, you could carve out meter-by-meter squares that would become seamless once assembled.

You should get Martina from NerdForge to paint the rock print, she is an amazing artist.

As someone that operates a small 3d print farm, you should get your rock wall cnc cut from XPS foam; and get an artist like nerdforge to paint it, they'll be able to capture the depth and shadows in the paint itself; and the foams insulation will help prevent thermal bridging behind the glass and contribute to whatever you use to prevent humidty and condensation ruining the view

Release the STL files. I want to 3D print it and burry it in my yard so I can have my own secret tunnel, for ants.

My grandma’s husband got really into photogrammetry after retiring from the mountain rescue, and started doing conservation work recording historical sites around the lakes for local museums. It was great to see this old guy I’d always associated with nature and hiking get excited about drones and 3D modelling. I guess it was a way for him to stay involved with the land he’d always worked in even as his physical abilities deteriorated, and to help share and preserve some of its wonders for future generations. He never talked to me much, but that was one time he went out of his way to proactively share something with me directly.

love your work Colin

[zaldew]

The 3D render puts into perspective just how cool this whole thing is

[micah_mann]

Cool to see the guys at 3:00 clearly are loving their job. I've done work adjacent to plumbers and electricians at construction sites, and generally people don't want to be there, they don't love their job. At this project, everyone loves their job. Super cool to see

[thethoughtemporium]

That scan is GLORIOUS. Also cool to see that you're bang on straight with your tunnels for the most part, and see the whole progression. So excited to eventually see the final thing when all the tunnels are finished.

These are NOT long videos, that are gems into the mind of Colin Furze and his day to day activities. Fascinating !! And we get to meet Charlotte, the power behind Furze Tunnelling.

Colin, there’s a comic from either the late 90’s or early 2000’s that dealt with what Skynet did after it had killed off the last humans.
They started strip mining the earth of all the resources they needed for a huge fleet of ships. The ships were filled with terminators and sent off in every direction so Skynet could terminate all life everywhere. The fleet took centuries to build but each time one was built it was sent off. Potentially the fleet would just eradicate all life everywhere. Forever.

I used to work with Derek! Top bloke, great to see him again and that he is doing well. Living the dream getting to see the tunnel in person.

Worm "mud" is actually worm castings or worm poop. It is exceptionally good for soil because it contains so many microbes. They sell it in garden stores as fertilizer. Lots of worm mud in your yard means your soil is good and healthy for your lawn.

[stratanl]

The 3D scan really shows the scale of the project and all the hard work you’ve done over the past years. You can be proud of it Colin!

[jeremys]

Nerdforge would be a amazing colabe.... she does amazing work

[lucasabratti]

as a game developer I want those 3D files so baaad! Imagine making a game based on Colin's house!!!
Like a post apocalypse survival game or just a horror game!

[mikecorson]

That view of the 3D scan is simply amazing, a that word doesn't really convey how AMAZING it actually is. That really helps to put the huge amount of work in perspective with your property too, which is really cool to see as well. Hopefully yo will end up with a complete scan of the property and tunnel system that you could print out and put in a nice picture frame in your media room.

[ajgonzal]

Seeing the Secret Garage and Secret Tunnel in like an x-ray view just shows off the painstaking attention to measuring you did. Impressive work. I know that sometimes when a huge project gets closer and closer to completing it seems to slow down and loom. But this is already worth the effort! Thank you for letting us be a part of the adventure.

3D artist here. You mentioned potentially printing in colour.
While I doubt you'll end up going the 3D printing route, if you're using any sort of machine to apply colour, instead of an artist, I'd highly recommend 'de-lighting' the scan first. Those large softboxes are good for getting more even lighting but you'll still want to remove shadows etc. from the scan. If not, when the final piece is placed in-situ any lights that were on during the scan will seem to apply double their lighting (and shadows) to the real-life colour!
Awesome to see the progress and the 3D scan really puts into perspective the sheer volume of earth moved! There are tools for estimating that sort of thing, in case you're curious for exact numbers.
