I feel like there would be a worn out boot with the last iving plant on Earth living in the bottom crane compartment.

If I had one complaint though, it's that you don't have more videos to watch. I guess I'll just have to keep rewatching stuff until I have more of this ridiculously excellent content to consume.

This and Boylei Hobby Time’s Wild West are some of my favorite things on YouTube

[ambersandlin]

Definitely full of trash pandas! I love this build man! Can't wait for more!

[BPCustomCreations]

Too many amazing points to mention! It's funny I keep seeing things that I plan on doing and you're doing it better than I will 😂😂
Nice and polished as always 👍

[Gokou]

Those wall e treads looked great, glad to see the idea get re used here.

[TheSmugglersRoom]

Bravo man! Absolutely love this build. And cheers to the wives out there that save awesome parts for geek husbands to use on their projects! Brilliant!

[Onandagus]

I would like to think that there are scavenging, Jawa type creatures that live there. The dumpster gives that vibe😂
May I suggest “Coongas”? Inspired by raccoons

[blizatrex]

Looks great. I think something like a mutant Raccoon family would call this home. It reminds me of Mortal Engines.

[Derpssoupkitchen]

dude this is amazing i love the creativity and when you said you were new to diorama making i almost thought you were joking because it looks like you have been doing this for like 20 years so keep up the good work

I'll never stop saying this, you deserve a lot more attention, loving this series! Btw you said that the fungi was being blamed for genetic mutations in humans right? So how about a mutation that caused some people to be born smaller, maybe with longer arms, kind of primate-like proportions, and they were shunned away by other Overs, cause we know how good humans are with anything different from what's "normal". So they had to hide in the forests and become nomads? Random idea lol keep this up, can't wait to see more!

Love that rust detail on the dumpster. You definitely captured the oxidized metal bubbling effect.
That lore is really cool too. Very interested in seeing how that timeline pans out.

[Nedzizzle]

Pine forests?
Dumpsters?
Mechanisms?
A clan of reclusive, crafty, anthropomorphic, raccoon engineers (ala Rocket Raccoon) definitely live here!
Maybe they are the only ones who can aide a hero on their main quest but are either apprehensive, jaded, or too depressed to want to help without the completion of a whole other side quest!
Good luck finding them, and if you do, good luck catching them, that tower is a lot more mobile than it looks!

It’s always nice to see a build of a world I’d love to live in!

[josephupchurch]

Nice to see someone, besides Boylei, world building. Love the content, man 🤘

[Scott_A]

For wood grain effect, try a wire brush with stainless steel bristles (stainless bristles flex less and can give a deeper groove)

[carrie]

The alligator clip on a stick for sponging on paint is handy, going to have to make myself one

Besides the awesomeness of your builds, the best part of these videos is the commentary, sometimes I'm literally laughing out loud. It's a joy to watch you work, and you have a vibe that's catchy and makes me want to create something, but I'm kinda lazy and lack a good imagination. Lol. Love your builds. 👍

[THECRAFT]

Really enjoyed your video. Amazing work 👏 . Keep it up and soon you will have hundreds of thousands of subscribers

[Archacharge]

If you’re learning something new from each build, then the mistakes are worth it! Keep up the incredible work, can’t wait to see what’s beyond the blight :D
