    This leaves 99% of You Tube videos to shame. What incredible talent and ability. I am in awe.
  • @Loulovesspeed
    In my 65+ years of model making I have only scratch built a few small items, but I will also say there is a bit of special satisfaction to look at a small detail item that you made from scrap metal, wood, etc. This entire barn is a wonderful example of the skills and insight some people are gifted with, and so well express in dioramas like this beauty! Excellent work.

    Please, my brother, continue on the march, you are a professional person in this art, you master your work, and leave no room for speech, continue publishing more

    I can honestly say that with the 3,000 hours worth of videos I've watched, not once have I been moved to tears. Until now. I know few will understand, but this was just absolutely breathtaking. ❤️❤️❤️
  • @NAMVETSTARLITE
    OUTSTANDING, I'M 76 AND GOT BACK INTO MODELING AFTER 45 YEARS IN 2019. I'LL LIKELY NEVER GET TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT INSPIRED I AM. THANKS SO MUCH.
  • @mrCetus
    Watching that brought back so many memories of my late husband. He use to build these for model railway layouts. Thank you for the beautiful memories.
  • @naymyo5503
    The amount of details and realism of this model is incredible. Hats off to you!

    Заметила,что на протяжении всего просмотра с моего лица не сходила улыбка...Шедевр,только так могу назвать эту потрясающую работу.И как апофеоз - топор,мамма миа,топор!!! Блестящая кропотливая работа.Браво! С уважением Галина.🌹
  • I normally watch the first 5 min of a video, scan through and stop to see interesting things, then watch the final 5 min.. But not this video, I couldn't stop watching it. The quality of work, attention to detail and obvious subject matter knowledge was so impressive. The vines going up the side of the barn was simply over the top.

    Ваши видео для РЕЛАКСА ! После просмотра я стал таким уравновешенным . Вспомнилось далекое- далекое детство . Старый сарай в котором любил сидеть когда шел дождь . И то же умиротворение как в детстве ! Как будто все замерло . Мне 56 ,а вы мне вернули то ощущение . КАК РАНЬШЕ ,КАК В ДЕТСТВЕ !!! СПАСИБО !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • @iamlalapalooza
    brought a tear to my eye.. love the old fields and barns and sheds.. lived around them when my kids were little.. sunshine and shadow of a cat.. can almost hear the meadow lark and red winged black birds.. thank you :D
  • @chrisblevins755
    This is absolutely breath taking. I've always admired miniature models and landscapes. My hands shake from medical issues, so I paint watercolor. This is amazing. Bravo.
  • @michelletran6348
    Nothing short of incredible & absolute sentimental value! The clear step by step guide in the description section is truly an appreciated bonus for those who wants to learn. Fabulous work & artistry!
  • @cecilcooper6210
    Totally amazing to me. I come from rural Kentucky with sentimental old barns everywhere. An old age has died. Inside I found old horse collars and tack and rusty cultivators and plows. Thanks for the memories.
  • @stevnated
    My favorite part is "Adding longer grass to some tufts". This guy's static grass game is better than anyone else I've seen on YouTube!
  • @Brian-mp2mv
    knowing how to stay on scale, knowing how to stress, how to distress... and knowing when to start and stop is crucial to this art form. watched every moment and relaxed!
  • @Hellonwheels66
    I’ve been watching scratch build videos for about a year now trying to learn and get ideas of what I want to make. Of all the videos I’ve watched, this is by far the best one yet!
  • @MrsRobinson0741
    Absolutely fabulous!!! Looks sooo real!! I have a fascination with barns!!! So unique & can stand the test of time!!! I used to wood-burn barns!! I still have them 30yrs & several moves later!!
  • @swimrski
    The biggest mystery in all this is how those fingers stay so clean. But dang. The steady hands and the level of detail. Impressed!
