It's been a grand ride. Thank you all for coming along! :) Intro music: Army of Darkness by Phoenix Music - czcams.com/users/PhoenixMu... Additional music provided by MusOpen.org
Mike, I’m sorry to see you go. I also understand...or at least I think I do. You have always been one of the “good guys” on the platform and in the hobby. You were a trailblazer and you deserve far more from the platform than you received. The hobby is better thanks to your efforts. My life is better thanks to your efforts. Thank you. I hope whatever interest you find yourself immersed in next that it brings you great joy. Much love. Be well.
Black magic craft thank you for bringing me to this channel, though this was my first video from it, it will be a great resource to draw from. Too bad it escaped me until now.
As always, well thought out and reasoned, typical of you bud! So glad that the hobby continues while the living ends, you're so lucky not to walk away burnt out from the hobby. You've been an inspiration, a friend and youtube won't be the same without you. You'll go into history as one of the founding pillars of the terrain building community on youtube. No doubt whatever you go into next, you'll tackling it with the same dedication and perfection as you did with this. Good luck buddy!
This will probably get lost in the crowd, but I wanted you to know that I think my life would have been poorer for not having known you. Thank you for sharing your passion and life for all these years.
You’ve been a huge inspiration to me Mike. To be honest I was considering for a while now to contact you to see if you’d like to do a collaboration and just talk shop together. I feel like we’ve got a lot in common and I’ve always felt the quality you’ve put in to your videos was above and beyond what was out there in the genre. I wanted to emulate that with my own and you’ve been a major source of inspiration for me and my channel. And I’m right there with ya on the comparison part. I’m *constantly* doing that and comparing myself to others, especially in the CZcams world. I even have a quote on my computer screen to help me to stop. I think there is several variants out there but it goes something like this: “Comparison is the root of all misery, the only person you should try to be better than is the one you were the day before.” It’s really sad to see you go mike. For the record youtube burnout is a huge and common thing for many content creators out there according to some channels I watch and podcasts I listen to. So, I really hope you consider coming back some day and are able to reignite the passion you had when you first began. I totally understand your decision though and wish nothing but the absolute best for you in your future endeavours. Again, really sad to see you leave. You’ve made some amazing content and your passion for the hobby and attention to detail has been hugely inspirational for me. Anyway, I think I’m rambling now, so all the best Mike. Take care and really hope I get to see you again some day. Send me a message if you ever want to take me up on that collab and spend some time talking shop, perhaps while we tinker away with our little projects.🙂
Hi from the future! I have recently had the time to get back into wargaming through Warmaster but I had first followed your channel from waaaay back in the day) Thank you for all the great work you have done for the craft, and all the hearts and lives you have touched through your mastery. Wish you all the best:)
What an artist we lost this day. I send nothing but love through time. I left the hobby for some years and looked forward to seeing you coming back. I will use many of your videos. All I can say is I hope you and your family are well. Blessings to you brother.
Mike, thank you. I'll miss more than your work. You've helped me through tough times and I've taken my enjoyment of Terranscapes into better times. Again, thank you. Take care and go well.
I saw this video a couple of days after you posted it ... coudn't comment then. I ignored it, didn't really believe it, didn't want to. YT suggested the video again today. So it's time. You were an inspiration for me as a builder and as a person and I thank you for that. I really hope you found something that inspires you and you still hunker down in the basement and paint ... just for yourself ... I can really dig that. Good luck, Mike ... it has been a pleasure.
Mike, I've never commented on your videos before, but I must say thank you for sharing all of your experience and knowledge in this hobby with us. You have inspired me many times, and I appreciate all that you've done. I understand what you mean about being "public" and wanting to get a taste for something different. Just wanted to say thanks again, and BEST of luck to you in all that you do in the future!
You are one of the few masters of the craft and a true artist. Thank you so much for the quality of the videos you provided us and for the intensity with which they were made. I will stay subscribed and will visit again when I need advice or inspiration. Thanks again!
So I missed this when it was originally posted, and I was thinking about your channel just today and looked it up to find this. You may never see it but here it goes anyway. Thank you for everything you did with your channel. I haven't been involved in the miniature terrain hobby at all, but I always loved your channel in particular. Your attention to detail and the way you would talk through your process has been so inspirational to me. I fell like the way you process information and approach challenges is very similar to my own. So watching you make incredible things was such an inspiration, and was very foundational to my own channel. Lately I've been feeling like I've 'lost my direction' and your line about the tipping scale of input vs reward hit close to home. I not ready to move on, I think i have some things to try to capture the magic again, but I digress. I'm glad you posted a last video and I wish you all the happiness moving forward!
Rediscovering your joy in the hobby sounds great! Im happy for you. Learned so much from you and was inspired to get into it. Thank you for all your time and effort sharing what you did.
So sad. But it feels like you have really thought this through and I wish you the very best in your new ventures. I thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and helping to build this wonderful community.
I know im a little late to this but I always liked your content. I really enjoyed skimming through your videos and watching the results of your projects. I have since moved on to other things but occasionally ill type your channel by name into the search bar just to check up and see what projects you're workin on. I guess this will be the last one though. All things must come to an end, but i wish you the best with any and all future projects you take on!
Thanks for all the fantastic videos. Besides being entertaining your work has been a big help with terrain building. Good luck in whatever you decide to do next.
Wow! It made me cry. Hope you still get to see all the comments. Mike, Loved all you did throughout this big journey. Sad to see you go. All the best! Greetings from across the Atlantic (Portugal).
Tears roll down. Thank you for this! I don't need to spend time worrying about you (the way I still do about Kamloopian). I wish you all the best wherever life takes you. You will be missed!
You have always been the standard for terrain in my world. This change in your life feels like it made a change in mine, and I will miss you very much. I love your videos and I have love for you my friend. Take care of the cats!
Thanks Mike, for all of the amazing videos you have posted and projects that have inspired me to push myself. I have been watching your channel for somewhere around 8 years and it must have been one of the first channels that really got me interested in the whole terrain thing. I really appreciate all of the hard work you've done over the years and wish you the best of luck moving forward!
Thank you so very much for all the great inspiration, knowledge and entertainment over the years. I've been watching for 6 years (since the LOTR Castle project) And the channel has been a great source of inspiration for many creative projects over the years. I hope you'll return one day, because you know we will back as soon as there is another Terranscapes video.
Thanks for all of your hard work over the years, Mike! For me, you are the gateway to terrain building and, by extension, miniature painting. I'd played RPGs for years, but never caught the bug until I stumbled across your videos. You have been an inspiration!
Thank you so much! Passionate about the winter hour painting / hobby part. Wish you good luck with whatever you have coming, as others mentioned, you somehow improved not only my gaming table, but my life as well :-)
Thanks for all of your time and effort. You really made terrain building seem less daunting and you helped me so much. Good luck with whatever you move on to.
Thank you for doing so many good videos, and hope that your next projects are full of happiness and wonder. You helped me to investigate about many different brands of products, especially greenstuff and milliput, you are the only good review about them in youtube, and although i am just starting to do bases and dioramas on my minis, and i know you will not be there , i am happy that when you were here, you did such an amazing job! Thanks again and go forward to another adventure!
Mike, you have a great channel and a wonderful gift of videos for the wargaming community. Thanks for all your hard work. We appreciate it. I hope you find joy in the next chapter of the journey.
Glad to hear that you are planning to continue the hobby, you are a wonderful artist and craftsman. I've loved following your work over the years; it's been a huge inspiration in my own pursuit of the hobby. Thank you so much for your commitment, and fare thee well in your future adventures.
This was the best mini terrain building channel on CZcams,. No one else even comes close to the skull level displayed on this channel. I've learned so much here over the years. Just got back into gaming after a couple year hiatus & was hoping to catch some tips from my favorite channel, but all good things must come to an end. Thanks for sharing bud, you've improved my table terrain ×10. Hope you're well, all my best to ya. cheers!
I just discovered your channel, and this is the first video to come out since I subbed. What a bummer! But, such is life! I'll enjoy your backlog. Good luck to you!
Painting terrain as I watch this, and taking a break to type. I don't know how I missed this video when it was first published, but I wanted to say that I'm terribly sad to see you go. You've been a true inspiration, Mike. Thank you for everything, and good luck with wherever life takes you next!
I cant remember how long ago I subscribed to your channel, but your skills, knowledge, passion and great personality had me committed to following immediately. You have helped me tremendously in all aspects of terrain making, and I thank you greatly. I hope whatever you do is as fulfilling and rewarding as you found this channel to be. I wish you all the best for years to come, thank you so much.
Sorry to have missed your v blog / instruction video. You have helped me out with some techniques for my model railway. Thanks for leaving the channel up.
Used to watch your videos during the formative years of my hobby life - its been a long time, and rediscovering your channel really brought me back. I'll have to get caught up. Thank you for all you did, chief.
The end of an era. Heartfelt thanks for your time and effort. Even as recently as yesterday I was referencing your Hobbit diorama videos for a new build - a lot of material on this channel needs to be secured for posterity! Good luck in your endeavours.
I found this channel not that long ago and have been really enjoying the videos. It's sad that there won't be any more, but I can understand that there must be a ton of work involved in producing them. Thanks and good luck with whatever you do next!
Had a hard time staying composed while watching this so it's, again, a huge inspiration you've given me and others to see you being so composed while actually DOING the video. This is what I'll always remember you and your work for: showing that it's possible, no matter the hurdles and hard effort and lack of direction one may experience. You pushed through all of it in a way that no other hobbyist I know of does. Keep it up, whatever "it" may be in the future! Godspeed.
You have inspired many and more importantly educated them as well. Your videos should remain based on the educational value to the hobby. Fair winds and following seas good Sir! You did an outstanding job!
Thankyou for the amazing efforts you have gone to too give the community everything you have. God bless and I hope your future is as bright as you have made our lives as a result of your videos
I had only recently discovered your channel like so many others in this hobby and you like they have inspired me to create. I look forward to browsing your back log of beautiful creations and thank you for expressing and sharing those creations and the skill in their manifestation. Good luck to you on your continuing journey.
You're awesome. Thanks for your hard work through the years. If you ever get the itch again, we'll be here. Best of luck in your new endeavors, whatever they may be!
I have been watching since the cavity pour mold video six years ago. I can honestly say that although I based and painted minis, I never would have gotten into mold making and terrain if I hadn’t seen that video. So thank you for introducing me to that and enjoy what ever you do next. Life Is short carpe diem
I'm really glad to have heard your parting words! This channel has been a lovely thing to come back to-I'm thankful that you invested so much time and effort into sharing your passion. Good luck on your next passion project!
Great final video!! Very heartfelt and bittersweet. You're moving on, which is exciting for you, but still it's a goodbye to old friends, which is never easy. Take care! And thanks for all the terrain building tips, and fun videos to watch and learn from. Well done!!!
It's an honor to find your channel. Your milliput versus greenstuff video is the only one of its kind online. Your journey making videos may be over, but you have left behind an awesome legacy.
Thank you Mike. Your art has inspired me greatly over the years. I've always considered you to be the pinnacle of the hobby. Farewell, but I'm staying subscribed. :)
You are and always be the master. I would have nver tried to make a terrain for my D&D... and I always secretely wanted to go to America, knock your door and beg for you to take me as your trainee, at the most medieval age style. Because you are and an artist and an artisan, and I hope your knowledge akd experience never gets lost, and specially your passion and effort to approach the perfection. Good luck Mike! We salute you!
You have been a great inspiration with your work on CZcams. I have always regarded you as someone that operates at the highest technical level for this kind of work. I am happy you are not taking your videos down. Your reasons are totally understandable and more so as you described your personal history. I haven’t been a commenter on your channel historically but wanted to thank you for all of the effort you have put in over the years. Best of luck to you in anything you do. Cheers
Best of luck in your new ventures. I appreciate all the effort you've put into selflessly showing us your incredible skills and talents. Cheers man - Kirk in San Jose, California
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you and to say that you will be missed and it was a pleasure to watch you video's and to be inspired by you amazing work. You truly helped elevate the skills of a lot of people building terrain including myself. THANK YOU !
It was about ten years ago I was looking for some inspiration for a jungle pyramid that brought you to my attention. I’m so glad that I made that search so long ago because you’ve done so much more inspiring for me than just the pyramid. I’ve enjoyed watching you impart your knowledge, mistakes, and victories along the way. It is a weird thing to say, as we’ve never met, but I feel as if a friend is moving away. I hope you find joy in whatever your endeavors may hold and if you ever finish this next project and feel like showing it off I know you have at least one person who would love to see it.
All the best Mike. I've not had a lot to do with CZcams the last few years but watching your channel has been a big part of my hobby life. Thanks for sharing for so long!!
I've learned so much from your channel over the years, even before I started my studio. I definitely get the feeling of how much reward you get out of what you put in not being enough. The important part is that you have figured out what will make you happier, & that you can keep creating for yourself for personal enjoyment . Good luck & hopefully we will see you again sometime :)
so many years of incredible stuff !!!!!!!!! THANK YOU for bringing all these tips, motivation, ideas to the community. This video is not the end, just a new start in the hobby, in a different way ^^ Hope you'll enjoy your little "1 hour winter-paiting-beer session" ^^ Ciao !
I remember watching and commenting on your first video. I had just gotten back into the tabletop hobby, and every little video helped me get inspired. So first, thank you for everything you've done here, and for the community. Second, absolute best of luck in your future ventures and hobbies.
Really sorry to see you go. Been following your stuff for years, you’re genuinely one of a kind scenery maker, one of if not, the best. Good luck with all your future endeavours:)
It is sad to see you go. You're great for the community and just an excellent speaker to watch and listen to. I do know how things can go on around here.. All I wish for you is to be happy, successful, and feel quite a weight being lifted off your shoulders. See you around ;)
You're a legend friend. You are always very detailed and intricate. That's what we loved about your videos. I wish you luck with all your future endeavours.
I think I've been following your channel for almost all 11 years, even over an account change or two. It's kind of bittersweet, sad to see you go, but happy your library of work will be here to reference in the future even for new people to the hobby in the future. But thank you... Thank you for all the years of wonderful content, entertainment and advice. And good luck and best wishes for you and your future journey and wherever that takes you. Take care :)
Not 8 years in the future but glad I found your channel; great resource and thank you for maintaining the channel! Hope you are doing well in your new endeavors!
Just discovered the channel yesterday. Too bad you are already done, but I'm glad I have a lot of videos to check out here! Good luck with whatever you are up to these days.
Aw man 😢, I wish you all the best in life ! Thanks for the support in my initial years on youtube, thank you for the inspiration, thank u for being you !
Thank you for the years of knowledge, learning, and entertainment you have provided me. You were one of the first youtube channels i subscribed to and watched on a regular basis. The terrain and projects you have shown through out the years has inspired me greatly. I always wished i had the extra funds to support you on patreon as you deserve it for the content you have provided. I know you will be back in one form or another. You are a teacher. You started with kids and moved onto terrain crafters. I look forward to the next skill you wish to inspire and teach the next audience. Take care and wish you the best!
I got into building terrain and dioramas because of you good sir. I'll never be able to say thank you enough, I have not only learned so much from you but I've always been so inspired by ever video you've made. I don't normally comment or what not and haven't been along for the whole ride but man you opened up my mind a passion I always had for this stuff but just never felt like I could get into and do. I hope to see you again on this platform. I used to sit and watch your videos and utalized them as basically tutorials in many ways. So thank you I just really wanna say thank you. I feel like you are like the cool uncle I always wanted haha
Only a couple of mins into this and I'm hoping that it isn't true :( your videos have been an inspiration to me and I have used many of the techniques you have showcased in your videos.
Mike, I’m sorry to see you go. I also understand...or at least I think I do. You have always been one of the “good guys” on the platform and in the hobby. You were a trailblazer and you deserve far more from the platform than you received. The hobby is better thanks to your efforts. My life is better thanks to your efforts. Thank you. I hope whatever interest you find yourself immersed in next that it brings you great joy. Much love. Be well.
Well said!!
Black magic craft thank you for bringing me to this channel, though this was my first video from it, it will be a great resource to draw from. Too bad it escaped me until now.

All of the same.Definitely all of the same.
Hi from the future!
I have recently had the time to get back into wargaming through Warmaster but I had first followed your channel from waaaay back in the day)
Thank you for all the great work you have done for the craft, and all the hearts and lives you have touched through your mastery.
Wish you all the best:)
Serious question: Is there ANY place we can follow you for project pictures at least?
Never watched a video but this made me sad just watching, you seem like a genuine good guy, good luck on whatever comes next
had the same reaction
What an artist we lost this day.
I send nothing but love through time.
I left the hobby for some years and looked forward to seeing you coming back. I will use many of your videos.
All I can say is I hope you and your family are well. Blessings to you brother.
Mike, thank you. I'll miss more than your work. You've helped me through tough times and I've taken my enjoyment of Terranscapes into better times. Again, thank you. Take care and go well.
My dreams of regular cocktail videos are shattered... Thank you for the great library of work you"ve made. Happy travels.
I saw this video a couple of days after you posted it ... coudn't comment then. I ignored it, didn't really believe it, didn't want to. YT suggested the video again today. So it's time.

You are one of the few masters of the craft and a true artist. Thank you so much for the quality of the videos you provided us and for the intensity with which they were made. I will stay subscribed and will visit again when I need advice or inspiration. Thanks again!

Rediscovering your joy in the hobby sounds great! Im happy for you. Learned so much from you and was inspired to get into it. Thank you for all your time and effort sharing what you did.
So sad. But it feels like you have really thought this through and I wish you the very best in your new ventures. I thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and helping to build this wonderful community.
Good luck with you future endeavors.
And thank you for the effort that you have put in, if or one have appreciated your videos.

Thanks for all the fantastic videos. Besides being entertaining your work has been a big help with terrain building. Good luck in whatever you decide to do next.
Mike , thank you for all the inspiration over the years , it`s good to step back and relax .
Thank you very much for all you're videos. Thank you for sharing your passion and exprerience with us. Good success with everything in the future.
Thank you for all the inspiration and advice over the years. To the best!
Wow! It made me cry.
Hope you still get to see all the comments.
Mike, Loved all you did throughout this big journey.
Sad to see you go.
All the best!

The end of an era.
Heartfelt thanks for your time and effort. Even as recently as yesterday I was referencing your Hobbit diorama videos for a new build - a lot of material on this channel needs to be secured for posterity!
Good luck in your endeavours.
SO sad to see this Video... Thank you for all your great Videos and Ideas thru the years..
I found this channel not that long ago and have been really enjoying the videos. It's sad that there won't be any more, but I can understand that there must be a ton of work involved in producing them. Thanks and good luck with whatever you do next!

Thank you so much, Mike. You're an absolute inspiration. Good luck in whatever you do!
You’re amazing Mike, I love your videos and your work, love you brother, good luck in whatever u pursue!
Had a hard time staying composed while watching this so it's, again, a huge inspiration you've given me and others to see you being so composed while actually DOING the video. This is what I'll always remember you and your work for: showing that it's possible, no matter the hurdles and hard effort and lack of direction one may experience. You pushed through all of it in a way that no other hobbyist I know of does. Keep it up, whatever "it" may be in the future! Godspeed.
Be Happy in whatever you go into m8ty and thanks for keeping me inspired to try harder and do better in my hobby.
You have inspired many and more importantly educated them as well. Your videos should remain based on the educational value to the hobby. Fair winds and following seas good Sir! You did an outstanding job!
Thankyou for the amazing efforts you have gone to too give the community everything you have. God bless and I hope your future is as bright as you have made our lives as a result of your videos
I had only recently discovered your channel like so many others in this hobby and you like they have inspired me to create. I look forward to browsing your back log of beautiful creations and thank you for expressing and sharing those creations and the skill in their manifestation. Good luck to you on your continuing journey.
I always loved your content...Good luck in the future Sir.
You're awesome. Thanks for your hard work through the years. If you ever get the itch again, we'll be here. Best of luck in your new endeavors, whatever they may be!
I have been watching since the cavity pour mold video six years ago. I can honestly say that although I based and painted minis, I never would have gotten into mold making and terrain if I hadn’t seen that video. So thank you for introducing me to that and enjoy what ever you do next. Life Is short carpe diem
What a wonderful channel. Just wanted to echo everyone else's sentiments and say thank you!
I'm really glad to have heard your parting words! This channel has been a lovely thing to come back to-I'm thankful that you invested so much time and effort into sharing your passion. Good luck on your next passion project!
Great final video!! Very heartfelt and bittersweet. You're moving on, which is exciting for you, but still it's a goodbye to old friends, which is never easy. Take care! And thanks for all the terrain building tips, and fun videos to watch and learn from. Well done!!!
It's an honor to find your channel. Your milliput versus greenstuff video is the only one of its kind online. Your journey making videos may be over, but you have left behind an awesome legacy.
Thank you Mike. Your art has inspired me greatly over the years. I've always considered you to be the pinnacle of the hobby. Farewell, but I'm staying subscribed. :)
You are and always be the master. I would have nver tried to make a terrain for my D&D... and I always secretely wanted to go to America, knock your door and beg for you to take me as your trainee, at the most medieval age style. Because you are and an artist and an artisan, and I hope your knowledge akd experience never gets lost, and specially your passion and effort to approach the perfection.
Good luck Mike! We salute you!
Thank you for all you have done. I have learned a lot.
Good luck in your future endeavors. Thank you for the inspiration.
You have been a great inspiration with your work on CZcams. I have always regarded you as someone that operates at the highest technical level for this kind of work. I am happy you are not taking your videos down. Your reasons are totally understandable and more so as you described your personal history. I haven’t been a commenter on your channel historically but wanted to thank you for all of the effort you have put in over the years. Best of luck to you in anything you do. Cheers
Best of luck in your new ventures. I appreciate all the effort you've put into selflessly showing us your incredible skills and talents. Cheers man - Kirk in San Jose, California
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you and to say that you will be missed and it was a pleasure to watch you video's and to be inspired by you amazing work. You truly helped elevate the skills of a lot of people building terrain including myself. THANK YOU !
Oh No! You are a great teacher a great man! I´ve learned so much! Thank you so much for this! Hugs from Brazil!
It was about ten years ago I was looking for some inspiration for a jungle pyramid that brought you to my attention. I’m so glad that I made that search so long ago because you’ve done so much more inspiring for me than just the pyramid.
I’ve enjoyed watching you impart your knowledge, mistakes, and victories along the way. It is a weird thing to say, as we’ve never met, but I feel as if a friend is moving away.
I hope you find joy in whatever your endeavors may hold and if you ever finish this next project and feel like showing it off I know you have at least one person who would love to see it.
All the best Mike. I've not had a lot to do with CZcams the last few years but watching your channel has been a big part of my hobby life. Thanks for sharing for so long!!
I've learned so much from your channel over the years, even before I started my studio. I definitely get the feeling of how much reward you get out of what you put in not being enough. The important part is that you have figured out what will make you happier, & that you can keep creating for yourself for personal enjoyment . Good luck & hopefully we will see you again sometime :)
A pioneer. I was influenced by you. You helped me when I needed it. Thank you for all you have done.
Enjoy the next chapter. Gareth
so many years of incredible stuff !!!!!!!!! THANK YOU for bringing all these tips, motivation, ideas to the community.
This video is not the end, just a new start in the hobby, in a different way ^^ Hope you'll enjoy your little "1 hour winter-paiting-beer session" ^^ Ciao !
I remember watching and commenting on your first video. I had just gotten back into the tabletop hobby, and every little video helped me get inspired. So first, thank you for everything you've done here, and for the community. Second, absolute best of luck in your future ventures and hobbies.
Thank you for all of the great content, it has been invaluable. You will be missed. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
This made me sad. But I know it is for the best. Congrats on your 11 years of amazing content!! And thank you!
Thank you for all the inspiration and may your journey be full of joy no matter what you do.
Really sorry to see you go. Been following your stuff for years, you’re genuinely one of a kind scenery maker, one of if not, the best. Good luck with all your future endeavours:)
It is sad to see you go. You're great for the community and just an excellent speaker to watch and listen to. I do know how things can go on around here.. All I wish for you is to be happy, successful, and feel quite a weight being lifted off your shoulders. See you around ;)
So sorry to see you go. You've been a great contributor to the community and a great guy. Good luck for the future.
You're a legend friend. You are always very detailed and intricate. That's what we loved about your videos. I wish you luck with all your future endeavours.
Really like a lot of your work - hopefully more people will find your videos and enjoy them as much as I do :) Thank you for all these years.
I think I've been following your channel for almost all 11 years, even over an account change or two.
It's kind of bittersweet, sad to see you go, but happy your library of work will be here to reference in the future even for new people to the hobby in the future.
But thank you... Thank you for all the years of wonderful content, entertainment and advice.
And good luck and best wishes for you and your future journey and wherever that takes you.
Take care :)
Not 8 years in the future but glad I found your channel; great resource and thank you for maintaining the channel! Hope you are doing well in your new endeavors!
Just discovered the channel yesterday. Too bad you are already done, but I'm glad I have a lot of videos to check out here! Good luck with whatever you are up to these days.
The content you have created has been such a positive experience and influence, thank you for that and fare thee well on your next chapters. ;)
Aw man 😢, I wish you all the best in life ! Thanks for the support in my initial years on youtube, thank you for the inspiration, thank u for being you !
Good luck for the future Mike. It was a pleasure and an inspiration. Thank you!
Thank you for the years of knowledge, learning, and entertainment you have provided me. You were one of the first youtube channels i subscribed to and watched on a regular basis. The terrain and projects you have shown through out the years has inspired me greatly. I always wished i had the extra funds to support you on patreon as you deserve it for the content you have provided. I know you will be back in one form or another. You are a teacher. You started with kids and moved onto terrain crafters. I look forward to the next skill you wish to inspire and teach the next audience. Take care and wish you the best!
You will be missed. I've enjoyed watching your many awe inspiring videos over the years. I wish you the best.
I got into building terrain and dioramas because of you good sir. I'll never be able to say thank you enough, I have not only learned so much from you but I've always been so inspired by ever video you've made. I don't normally comment or what not and haven't been along for the whole ride but man you opened up my mind a passion I always had for this stuff but just never felt like I could get into and do. I hope to see you again on this platform. I used to sit and watch your videos and utalized them as basically tutorials in many ways. So thank you I just really wanna say thank you. I feel like you are like the cool uncle I always wanted haha
Only a couple of mins into this and I'm hoping that it isn't true :( your videos have been an inspiration to me and I have used many of the techniques you have showcased in your videos.
Thankyou for everything, always a gentleman and always inspiring, so long
