Amazing, Custom Miniatures

This fellow creates and makes some amazing miniatures like this neat aquarium. I am enjoying browsing his channel and his imagination and skills at this.

That is absolutely incredible, I love some of the techniques he uses to do that, I suspected it was probably cast in resin. But I didn't even consider the work that would go into creating the tank and the fish, for gods sake I don't think I could do it to that scale - too old with eyesight not as good as it was in its hey-day lol!

He is amazing as his channel has hundreds of videos that go back 5 Years so he at least has been doing it for that long fine tuning his skills but I imagine he has been doing it longer than that.
I was already amazed at the construction of the light fixture THEN he sculpted and cast the tiny fish! That’s just on a whole other level.

I realized while looking through this channel that I had watched a number of his diorama building videos in the past. I really enjoyed those and found them relaxing to watch. However, like I said above, this is a whole other level in terms of detail.
Super,

You won't believe it, but I found an even better one, again a miniature tank, but this time with real living plants and fish!!  See below;

I had seen that one too Nigels although a bit bigger, the thinking process that fellow put into the mechanics is awesome. I got a kick out of him referencing that he bought a new Go-Pro and threw out the camera just to get part of the packaging. Amazing to think that a persons mind would come up with using part of packaging to create a working object like this.
My thoughts exactly Super, what I thought was cool was that the tank is so functional that he has living plants and fish in there (they are baby guppies if you want to know lol). There is a subsequent video where he shows the tank being cleaned and the fish etc... being removed to tidy it before putting them back!

As someone who delved into Tropical Fish years ago I was quite impressed for his creativity in developing the filter system especially using drink box straws. Guppies grow fast so I would assume they would have to replace the fish every week as they would get pretty cramped pretty quickly.
I’ve started binge watching HMS2’s videos again as time allows. It’s a nice way to wind down at the end of the day.
