This is wonderful, thank you. I made one by following the video. For anyone else thinking about building one, there is an error to be aware of: at 2:24 after the bottom is masked off the piece is turned over and the same end of the top is masked off. This is repeated for the other pieces. It should be the *other* end of the *bottom* that is masked off because the pieces that are glued to the top and the bottom are glued at opposite ends, not the same end. This means that a gluing area on each piece is oiled from 2:41. Compare what you see when the masking is done with the completed sections at 4:46 and you will see what I mean.

This looks like a fun way to work on some specific detail skills. And swaaaanky music.

Respect to the videographer and editor of the opening sequence. Very cool. That stop motion sequence alone could be clipped out and made into a YouTube short.
