Samurai Ambushed by ALIEN Xenomorph (DIY Diorama)

I made a text RPG:

In this miniature diorama video, I wanted to combine Japanese Samurai culture with that of the Xenomorphs from Alien. What would happen if they met face to face? This diorama features my own designs for laser cut, fdm printed and resin printed models. A successful resin epoxy art pour for the water feature, and lots and lots of miniature vegetation.

All the colors blend together very nicely to the end result. I wanted the end glamor shots to resemble a night scene, with the light coming from inside the building, and moonlight illuminating the roof and the alien on top barely visible. Really happy with how the paper walls turned out, they let a lot of light diffuse through!

My Lawyers required me to link this Boylei Hobby Time video:

It turned out so good, man! Thanks for the shoutout.

[WicoYT]

A full "Alien vs series between multiple markers would actually be cool, with everyone doing a different time period.

[DungeonMasterpiece]

Okay the Lazer cut cardstock is SUUUUPER cool

[CCMinis]

That turned out incredible - can we take a second to appreciate those curvy trees tho? voluptuous

Whilst everyone is commenting on how brilliant this build truly is, I would also like to add that I loved your choice of some very soothing and peaceful music you used for your incidental soundtrack.

[RealTerrainHobbies]

Wow!!! Beautiful project Knarb! Absolutely stunning and awesome edit as well.😍

[AbandonedMiniatures]

Awesome build! Great details and I love how vibrant the colors are, really gives the feeling of Japan long ago. Adding the light in the building was a perfect final touch!

[andrewdrauth]

This is so cool. The way you brought together all your equipment is perfection - especially the trick with heating and bending the printed shingles. So great.

[yappingdog]

Cool build. The xenomorph above and behind the samurai was a nice touch. Can't wait for sequel, where the ninja is above and beyond the xenomorph.

You know it must be done.

[CajunCraftastrophe]

I really like the sound effects on The Last Samurai footage : )
Sweet laser cutter! I need one of those!
Nice job bending the roof tiles and the landscape is sick. This whole project came out GREAT Knarb. Excellent work!

[BPCustomCreations]

That roof tile idea was brilliant! I keep believe how much you get done in a week's time! Hopefully you and Caleb can reach a fair settlement and still keep your channel.

The construct process is so serene you forget there is a meat hungry killing machine to be added at the end.

[garybuettner]

That is so cool and there’s so much gorgeous stuff going on there around the edges.

[nightcitycrafts]

Quite welcome, Knarb. This came out really good.

[Shiresgammai]

You should create miniatures for movies, they would look splendid!

[Slydeish]

Man, your crafting has always been great, but this is art!

[respectfulevil]

mixing aesthetics is one of my favorite things to see

[carrie]

Ok, just started watching and the stick figure xenomorph is the freaking best 😂

[josray]

super cool. I believe that is the 1st of it's kind. No one does builds like this.

[euansmith]

Ninja vs Aliens could be a great film. Thanks for sharing this cool build, and I'm happy to see that you survived getting blown up in Beyond the Crafsdome.
