- The final WarCraft 3 Diorama dedicated to the Night Elves. I designed my own models with Fusion 360, Blender, 3d printing, Epoxy Resin and every other tool available. More complex, more fun, more Minis.
Thank you for watching!

boy did i pick the right time to refresh youtube
i just finished going through my backlog of josh's morrowind playthrough the other day and his unexpected cameo in this has me questioning which layer of reality i'm on
@@Dezarc Oh man, Morrowind, I watched Josh play through the whole thing lately :D Great Idea!
@@MiniQuest64 ...elder scrolls dioramas?
You know what's next right? StarCraft of course!
This!
That would be the most obvious choice! To be honest, I'm terrified of the amount of work needed for that one!
@@MiniQuest64 I also was secretly hoping for brood war dioramas XD
@@MiniQuest64 Hey, at least there are only 3 factions this time! ;)
@@MiniQuest64 yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss pleaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeee 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😃😃😃😃😀😀😀😄😄😀😃😃😀😁😆😃😀
Blood Elves next please!
Interesting Choice!
We're not done, we still have the min races!
High Elves, Blood Elves, Naga and Corrupted Night Elves
I fear the already low view counts will heavily decrease with such a niche topic :/
Don't forget Old Draenei base too.
@@MiniQuest64 perhaps less effort videos, like some characters or iconic buildings - just a smattering of stuff as opposed to the single dedicated factions and big dioramas. For me, the interesting part is bringing to life a classic game - maybe marketing is part of it too with the titles - "bringing the game to life," a challenge, idk. some ideas. either way, thank you so much for finishing out the four main factions! I'm blessed to see what's been done! And I hope the best for your future projects! I'll definitely be smitten by any more IP stuff :D
@@Attan20 That's a pretty good point! I need to come up with a way to put out like a video a month without killing myself. Thank you for this one =)
Would love to see a Dwarven mine or Hold, or anything dwarven on that matter. And lovely work.
My favorite Warhammer faction =) But I think I'm done with WarCraft content for a while now, except the video outperforms and blows already low expectations! :D
Naga next? Perhaps? :'D
Oh Boy, well let's see how this one performs after the Orc disappointment my hopes are almost non-existent :D
@@MiniQuest64 Just try it and we will be amazed anyway 😎
Thats not how it works :D
Thats crwzy i loved the orc video😢@@MiniQuest64
Holy crap what a freakin YT recommendation! Insanely detailed and modeled miniatures, hilarious editing, and a beautiful wife! Mein Mann has it all!
Glad you enjoyed it! =)
I just realized what one-of-a-kind diorama I want to see someday in the setting of World of Warcraft! It is an out of bounds diorama!
There's a thriving scene of WoW exploration where players get into different unavailable corners of the world that shouldn't be accessible. For instance, when you get into a dungeon you in most cases enter a special verison of the map that only contains closest part of the dungeon's world surroundings (to serve as background), but the rest of the world map is just cut off.
In this out of bounds setting there's a myriad of cool anomalies: continents that are cut in a jigsaw pattern with the cut-walls having giant heights; different assets floating midair; terrain textures that don't gradually mix but instead have hard edges, and also sometimes used as a brush by programmers to draw something like a smiley face or write "HELP" etc.
So, how cool would that be to have a full-blown diorama of some iconic out of bounds location in Azeroth? With all these never-intended-to-be-seen anomalies realized there. This would truly be a one-of-a-kind diorama, bringing to life something that is ethereal even in the game itself.
That's a suggestion I haven't thought of :D Do you think this would make for a good video or is this topic too niche?
@@MiniQuest64 hey! I think that this topic has the potential to attract audience. For example there's a channel Shesez with 1 million subs that only does out of bounds (OOB) content in video games. There's also a number of WoW CZcamsrs who do/did just OOB, like HeelVsBabyface, AllThingsNerd, Hayven just to name a few.
In any case I think there's something magical in bringing virtual locations that were never meant to be seen into real life. It's like breaking some sort of spell. And as far as I know it's never been done before. And WoW has really cool ethereal themes happening in such locations.
Just recently I tried to escape Gilneas to escape the forced plot and never become a worgen, and the out of bounds locations were mesmerizing: two giant areas cut and put side by side to each other with a gap into the void, floating chairs and tables, a road into Goldshire that is only an illusion, the steep wall of a cut location that brings you to the untextured floor like 40 meters down, etc. There's iconic OOB places in WoW too, like the "Karazhan smile" or Karazhan crypts, but I would need to research to have a good list.
I turned on PC today morning, click on youtube and on the main page, your video pop-up...... I was so happy :)
And now we're both happy, thanks for watching =)
Was so much fun working on this with you! Looking forward to the next series of builds. Next game: Starcraft!
I'm glad you pointed out the saftey issue, it shows you care more about people's saftey over potentially alienating new promoters, thank you!
As an engineer myself, I can not do it any other way =) Thank you!
I'll add another comment to help the algorithm ;) i'll just throw my hat in for a Fallout Diorama!!!
Thanks for your support man, pretty rad!! =)
The Pillars of Nosgoth from Blood Omen or the Dueling Field from Forbidden Memories would make a fantastic diorama.
Oh I played Blood Omen on the GameCube back then. The whole Soul Reaver series was fantastic!
Commenting for the algo. Amazing how this game is 22 years old (!!!). Still remember the day when I first played the Orc Tutorial Campaign. Man, were years back then chill.
I need any help I can get, thanks a lot, man. I feel the same way =)
Seeing these, or any in-game models, as real life models never fails to make me excited!
Mission accomplished, then =)
@@MiniQuest64 Absolutely! Really happy I subscribed to you!
plenty of people have mentioned Starcraft, which would be awesome, but I would also love to see iconic World of Warcraft zones treated with this much love and skill
I'm both afraid to focus too heavily onto the WarCraft universe and thereby putting me in a topic corner I can't escape. As well as the sheer amount of work coming with a StarCraft Diorama.
I will need to think a lot about what to do next, but I appreciate every single response!
YES!! I have been waiting for this!!!
I hope you liked it =)
@@MiniQuest64 I loved it!
FOR DALARAN!!!!!!! Horse noises as I blizzard that wisp line! Looks amazing, man.
Thanks a lot bud =)
Oh my god a dawn of war diorama would be so cool in the scale you work at, I know there are dioramas with the table top but I would love to see you do one in your style! Love the videos keep it up!
Do you think I would get in trouble with Games Workshop by redesigning those :D
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen
I could say the same about your comment! Thanks mate =)
They should have hired this guy for W3 Reforged.
I don't think I would have changed anything :D
Man, I love this. You make some great stuff. And Misha is the best boy.
Thank you for the video!
Thank you very much! I'll tell Misha for sure!!!
Finally night elf base. This is sick, good job!!
Much love from Scotland my friend, I've been looking forward to this one and my Wife has as well. You did an amazing job as always!
Awesome! Thank you both for watching, then!!!
this was pretty awsome man
Thank you!
This is beyond fantastic. What a magnificent piece of work!
Thank you very much Miguel!
Du hast dich dieses mal selber übertroffen mit dem Diorama, ich hatte am Ende des Videos Gänsehaut.
Der Knaller, Danke!!!
These dioramas have been rad as hell! I've slowly moved away from Warcraft as I've gotten older but in turn gotten into Warhammer and the miniature hobby in general, so seeing the 2 blended together like this has been amazing.
I love both of them and was more than happy to apply my painting skills from Warhammer onto some WarCraft models =)
Spyro the Dragon for sure for the next game focus, lots of worlds and things you can do there
If I take the original as reference, I might be able to pull this off too :D
very cool
Thanks bud =)
It's sooo... Beautiful!
You are!
@@MiniQuest64 For complete beauty, I would like to see a model of your design from the Alliance. I mean soldier or hero
As always, I think you did a fantastic job. The diorama itself, the video, the humor, everything is top notch. Watching your Warcraft 3 content has been so enjoyable and creatively inspiring!
Incredible! 🎉 I'm sad to see the series finish but happy to see what happens next.
Maybe a smaller topic 😂 or .... Dungeon keeper 2 😜
Thanks mate! I swear I've gotten the DK request more often lately :D
Cameo by our main man on the second monitor - Josh Strife Hayes! Also, awesome work on all 4 dioramas!
Thanks bud! I was so happy to have him as a cameo :)
Posting to appease CZcams algorithm and praise another fantastic diorama. These never fail to make me happy! Amazing work!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the support =)
Fantastic video Sergei! Absolutely amazing stuff, I've really enjoyed this Warcraft series 🔥
Thanks Alex, appreciate that a lot from a great creator and painter like you! =)
What an absolute banger end to an awesome diorama series. Loved the choice to add Tyande and Malfurion over the other three, and they both look amazing! You did my boy justice 😉 both walking and rooted versions, what a legend. Thanks for the shoutout @7:43, and hopefully you had as much fun making this series as we all have had watching them.
RIP king, your quest is over... for now!
Thanks for this one my friend =) I'm so happy you liked it! We will see what the future brings...
I'd say a Mario RPG diorama but it's during a fight and you see all the hud elements as floating 3D prints
Dude, you're creative!
Finally, we have waited. Respect. 👍
Wonderful! Your 3D sculpting game has evolved so much over the course of these projects - I'm impressed! Also you have truly made something that tingled the nostalgia of the 10 year old boy in me. Thank you for this amazing series and all the feels it evokes!
Maybe Nagas next? There are units and buildings...
Also it looks amazing! I bet it's a wet dream of every Warcraft player, I'd love to have something like this!
Thanks a lot for that =) I fear Nagas are off the table for a while though.
Man, this is so cool ! There's so much work put into this ! I hope you'll do other strategy games, like StarCraft. There's so much potential !
Love the low poly look of the models - fits perfectly with the look of Warcraft 3
Yeah they are absolutely perfect to hide my sculpting incompetence :D
Your talent, Your passion... really great
Goddamn, I really loved seeing all of these Warcraft 3 dioramas. They are easily some of the best I have ever seen! Would personally love to see Naga or Blood Elves next!
Thanks mate, that's a very nice thing to say =)
This is just perfection. And Maiev... Best Girl
And by the way, every warcraft diorama was a treat, thank you!
Thank you so much for watching man!
Now we just need ourselves an ultimate clash diorama... or two, or three 🤭
World tree fight would have been the best choice for a full 4 base - 4 race war.
But Icecrown would be a pretty epic conclusion also, and gives the chance to get some blood elves, Naga, and Illidan all in on the action!
I would recommend the following Units-
Team 1:
Illidan
Kaelthas
Spellbreaker
Sorceress
Vash
Murmaidon
Snap Dragon
Team: 2
Arthus (You have the model)
Anub'arak
Acolyte
Ghoul
Abomination
Crypt Fiend
Necromancer
And can then put a few ziggurats for defenses 👌
Bonus points for making an iteration of a few of the units in attack animations to help sell the War aspect!
Something tells me you didn't watch the outro :D
Love your idea man, sounds like a great Diorama!
I would love to see World of Warcraft dioramas. Specifically Classic wow raids, like Onyxia, last fight in Molten Core with Ragnaros :)!
Great suggestions!
This is what reforged should have been .
Epic, as always! :D
Elune-Adore!
Thanks, Dave! You're the best =)
10/10 for effort and originality, thanks for the nostalgia
Thank you for watching =)
Even the simple solutions you figured out for this project are actually ingenious! Let alone the whole thing!
Einfach der Hammer! Liebe Grüße aus Brasilien, danke!
Ein deutsches Kommentar aus Brasilien bekommt man auch nicht alle Tage!
Thank you very much, I was pretty unsure about this video, and its editing style, but I'm so happy people enjoy it!
@@MiniQuest64 die zweitgrößte deutsche Community außerhalb Deutschland liegt in Brasilien, wo Deutsch (hunsrückischer Dialekt) gesprochen wird. Die größte Community befidnet sich in den USA, aber Amerika ist ja ein superreiches, attraktives Land 😃
The editing was very good, I had some good laughs seeing this last video as well as the 3 others.
I wish Blizzard made Warcraft IV, including 3 more races: Goblins, Dwarves and Blood Elves, so we could play with:
Human (alliance);
Orc;
Nightelf;
Undead;
Dwarves;
Goblins;
Blood Elves;
Randon.
Greetings!
Dude this is amazing! As a night elf fan i love this board so much! Seeing you do all 4 races have been amazing! I would love to see you do like a small battle or something next. Purging of Stratholme or maybe the scene where Maieve is transporting Illidan in the cage, so much potential :D
Anyway, Loved this video so much and i wish you the best of luck in what ever you do next!
Stratholme would be freaking amazing! Thank you for sticking with me all this time, your patience and support =)
Fantastic work as always! I must say that this is the only content on CZcams that fills me with happiness and makes me feel well while watching.
Thank you for what you do!!
Your comment made me smile a lot :) Thank you for saying that!!!
I stumbled upon your channel only a day ago, but am I glad I did. Finally someone who makes wonderful Warcraft dioramas! And I admire your dedication. It would be awesome if you made a WoW diorama, maybe could even bring some more viewers, but only if you’d enjoy that.
Welcome aboard! Happy to have you here =)
I'm a big fan of WOW so a Diorama is just a matter of time! Anyway, thanks a lot for your kind words, appreciate it!
Man, this video is so perfect that you had to pay to watch it. lol. the best representation of warcraft I've ever seen in my life! Today I'm entering the world of 3D printers and I know how complex it is to do all this.
You do VERY WELL!!! I was amazed throughout the video by the perfection in the details! CONGRATULATIONS ARE A LOT!!!! One day I'll reach that level!
Sorry, the text above, I don't speak English well and Google translated it.
Thank you so much, man! That's such a nice comment!!!
If you need any help while 3d printing, let me know =)
Hot dang its another home run, the editing on this is your best yet. Thank you for doing it!
I mean if you are a sadist looking for something big StarCraft or Dawn of War 😂
Thanks Sam, those are some horrible suggestions which will probably kill me :D
Great job and wonderful series.
Maybe Northgard? That rts doesn't have a ton of units, so it's mostly buildings and the terrain.
I haven't played that one yet (been busy making videos :D) Sounds like a lovely idea though!
I have no idea why CZcams recommended me this, but I absolutely loved the content, the commentary, the song, the editing, everything was amazing. I loved this video. I'm glad to have found a good channel here. It has been kinda hard these days. ❤
Welcome to the channel, my friend, I'm glad you somehow found a way :)
Thank you for this wonderful comment!
Awesome video! Pokemon, Spyro or Sonic please!
I see, a man of culture!
why did youtube wait so long to recommend this to me?! Ive watched the whole series and always drop a like
Oh no, didn't you get a notification?
I'm always open for some Warcraft nostalgia, but I see from the comments you're not sure about the interest and I understand the concern, so I'll stay silent, haha. :P Great cameo from Josh, love the guy. And of course, great diorama, the LED wisps are a cool idea.
Thanks a lot, mate. We will see what the future brings. Some day, I will return with a Naga Diorama...
Was beautiful to see it all come together, really gave that old nostalgia vibe. Made me smile big time
You made me smile with this one! =)
The greatest pc rpg of all time
t’s absolutely beautiful! Night elves are my favorite race across all fantasy settings, and you certainly did them justice with this fantastic diorama. I have no words to describe the amount of work, time, and precision you put into creating this gem. You deserve many more views and subscribers!
P.S. I will definitely donate in the near future to support you and your next endeavors!
Man, this has to be one of the most uplifting and motivational comments I got so far! Thanks a lot
Greatness is what it is called. Bravo!
Now that you've tackled one of the GOATs of Blizzard, maybe a Starcraft or Diablo diorama next :D
Diablos sounds manageable! StarCraft on the other hand, sounds like a lot of work and a couple of burnouts :D
I'm proud of you :-) Congrats on actually finishing this massive series, these builds started great and got better and better and better!!!
That means a lot more than you could imagine, thanks for being so supportive through my whole journey, Brent.
The wait was worth it?
What if it was worth it?
worth every damn second!
Well, then you made me very happy =)
Nagas would be neat
We will see about that =)
Absolutely insane as always, glued to my screen for 18 minutes straight.
I'm really hoping this is only the end of the RoC dioramas. I'd love to see the blood elves in Outland!
This comment made me smile =)
Crushed it! Probably the most honest "review" ive seen a content creator do.
Ooo so many games to choose... If going for an RTS one of my favourites is Age of Wonders or Age of Empires or Age of Mythology....fuck that wasnt 1 🤣
Age of Mythology was sooo good man!
what a master piece, you are the new Da Vincy of the gamers dude.
Thanks a lot mate, that a crazy thing to say :)
Nun den Frostthrone. 😂
Edit: bin nun halb durch mot dem Video. Großartig. Editing ist super.
Wünsche mir persönlich das du bei Warcraft bleibst. Warcraft hat im Tabletop einfach kaum Vertretung. Und ich finde, dein Contest beweist, das da eigentlich Interesse ist.
Danke schön! Das kann ich verstehen, leider spiegelt sich die mangelnde Vertretung auch in den Views wider :/
Ich hab da tatsächlich Sorge mich in eine Einbahnstraße zu bewegen, was WarCraft Content angeht. Weiterhin kreativ zu bleiben, fiel mir mit jedem weiteren Video schwerer.
imma say this again, making dioramas of wow major cities would be interesting task, specially gilneas or suramar
Also an insane big task :D
this in for real the best thing ever! if i would be a child i would die for it!
No one needs to die, you can print and paint it yourself now =)
@@MiniQuest64 i dont have a printer and no money
Always a delight! Looking forward to what's next!
Thanks for sticking around :)
Thats just far beyond epic! Its... SUPEREPIC!!!!
Genuinely some of the most amazing models that are accurate and fit the ugly, beautiful old style of the models. I love it.
So happy you liked those ugly models :)
When the white glue spot at the bottom of the pond actually ended up the same blue hue as all the other blue accent of the diorama 🫦👌
You should have seen my face when I discovered that spot :D
YESSSS FINALLY NIGHT ELVES!
I was looking forward to this one! You, fine sir, are a masterful builder and watching you work, commented with you nice humor made my day brighter! Terrific work!
P.S. MISHA IS THE BEST!
I'll make sure to read that to Misha which as much enthusiasm! Thanks for this=)
This is how you a do a sponsorship/ad, great video miniquest
I'm more than relieved that you liked it =)
Alter Schwede, da steckt mal Arbeit und Liebe drin! Echt verdammt gut geworden 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Grrrrreeetings 🖖🏼👽
Vielen Dank mein lieber :) Freut mich sehr, dass es dir gefällt!
@@MiniQuest64 ich hab die Strategie Spiele echt gemocht, WoW geliebt und bin immer noch ein Fan von den Sachen. Das hier ist echt sehr sehr gut umgesetzt - davor muss ich einfach meinen Hut ziehen 😉
Gefallen ist noch sehr gelinde ausgedrückt, das hier ist einfach nur Mega 🤩👍🏼
Hab nen entspannten Start in die neue Woche und
Grrrrreeetings 🖖🏼👽☕
your warcraft 3 diaromas are amazing.
Thank you =)
the commentary, effort put into dioramas, dedication, edits, included memes, I absolutely loveee IT
I promise =)Thanks for sticking with me!!!
Turned out amazing again. Love the edits, the sounds, the puns, the low poly models, and end result is just awesome. So much nostalgia.
I'd recommend either making even more Warcraft dioramas or going the Starcraft route.
Thank you for all these kind words!!!
Finally my favourite faction! The diorama turned out amazing, as always! Especially love the moon wells and the wisps and the archers... well.. just everything!
Hell yeah now we going somewhere
Stuff of legend! 🏆 Those 16 months are time well spent. if you still have the momentum, a diorama of DoTA 1 would be perfect as you already have scourge and sentinel assets designed already. 🙂
It would also be wonderful for tabletop gaming as well. 😁
While this sounds like an easy thing to do, I just see another 100 trees to paint :D I played the old Dota 1 Icefrog maps for countless hours, it was my favorite game back then. Sitting in the basement with 4 friends, enjoying life =)
Thank you for your support and great suggestion!
Это очень здорово! Я просто в восторге. Так творчески и мастерски, и с такой любовью это сделано.. Успехов вам)
Спасибо большое, друг =)
There are a lot of interesting warcraft places/races You could do. Like Thunder Bluff style diorama for example. Maybe moonglade.
Exceptional. Captured all the character and mood of the models and gameworld.
Thanks bud =)
Absolutely AMAZING! I look forward to the Naga!
Thanks man! But I don't know if that's going to happen at all!
Seeing as you are already into Nintendo games, and you've dipped your toes into LED-lighting... I think a Metroid diorama would be awesome. Loads of ways to implement LEDs! Always looking forward to your stuff btw.
Oh I would love to make some Metroid stuff O.o
Wow! I’m impressed by both the crafting and editing in this video. First-time viewer and immediate subscriber. Looking forward to seeing what else you’ll conjure up.
Thanks, mate :) More than happy, you enjoyed it!
the models look pulled right out of the game, so cool!
Battle Brothers. That one would be so awesome tbh. Please.
I've never heard of that one! I'll look into it :)
What a treat! Thank you😉☺️
Thank you too!
