DIY abandoned miniature lab diorama INSIDE A BOOK

https://youtu.be/WXhuBg-2zg8?si=JkmQd-4or3fjDpBH I added final details. I love how it turned out!

At 14:25 is the moment you won my heart. I wish my husband understood me the way you do! A typical conversation in our house sounds like “ what do you mean it’s NOT trash? Its an old shoebox with a used icee lid, an empty pringles can, and a half bottle of nail polish, the cardboard roll from the toilet paper, and a stick from a sucker? Me: “ No! That’s a shadow box, the top of a jellyfish, and a tower. That nail polish still has a full life, I’m using to paint the tops of keys, and you never throw away toilet paper rolls, the holidays are coming up. “ Him: “And the sucker stick?” Me: “ I ate the sucker. That actually is trash. “ Him: “ good! At least something will go in thrash!” Me: “ well, now that I think about it,…. “

Having worked for many years in laboratories, I can say you got the bottles right. Many compounds make the glass go dull or chalky looking. A great touch.

This looks like an old abandoned pharmacy that had to stop their work because they got in trouble with the law or smth. It’s really amazing! You have such an eye for detail!

I cannot believe you went to all the work of making a drain and making it look realistic when it won't even be seen! But then again, of course you did because you will know it's there, yes, you will know. ❣

Adding a mouse or rat or even an empty cage would add life to the room. ❤

My local dollar store had some book boxes before halloween for $1 each. They said "Complete Apothecary" on them. Build walls and shelves from craft sticks. A desk from foam boards. Added some books and scrolls. A mortar and pestil for mixing potions. Bottles made from various beads. Some herbs and mushroomd. Some potion charts to decorate the inside of the book cover. Sold all 12 I made for $40 each. Fun project

When you said "that's a show I would watch" I thought to myself "no that's a show you'll be on" lol. You have great ideas on reusing "trash"

I like how you made the book look like leather and aged it. And the techniques you use to make things look old. Turned out really nice.

Love this! I found a box that looks like a book about poisons. Maybe I will try a little secret spooky place inside there. Thank you for the inspiration and it is so great to see people making things without having to spend a ton of money on every little detail. This IS accessible to us all. Love it so much!

Why does this look so similar to the lab I used to work in? Very cool and creative diorama, love all the detail that went into it!

Girl, you got real talent and vision. A joy to watch you create.

I know this video is over a year old but my god - this is absolutely brilliant. My brother is a model maker and he makes war dioramas and his attention to detail is as amazing as yours. I'm going to send him the link to your video. I'm in awe of your work and I'm going to watch more of your videos.

This is truly mind boggling. Just had a thought watching this, is it possible to make old cobwebs. The dust bunnies are a lovely touch. Keep on crafting and take care.

I loved the test tube rack and tubes! Epic idea! Enjoyable video, thank you.

Love this. So realistic. At about 70 , I remember when old labs and Doctors offices looked that basic . In the 1950's alot of hospitals used a pale green paint color on the walls as it was suppose to be calming and restful and less stressful for patients and staff. Maybe you could find a use for the pale hospital green shade in future dioramas. Thanks for sharing.

The whole idea with the water damage is so clever! Best wishes from Switzerland ♥

Recently found you, can't stop watching your videos!! So talented, so resourceful, inspirational. You say the absolute funniest things, and with a completely monotone voice, and I'm forever cackling. Minis are one of the few hobbies I haven't tried my hand at yet, but I'm a convert now thanks to you <3

I used to be really into miniatures but over time sort of lost interest. After seeing your video I was absolutely fascinated and my interest in miniatures has been rekindled big time. The slide box, actually the whole desk, was just genius.

You do grunge GREAT! I love miniatures and will be waiting on the one that lists all things broken to be used again as well!👍❤️
