I built the giant, winged Divine Beast, Vah Medoh, from Breath of the Wild, measuring in with a 35" wingspan (89cm). This makes it roughly big enough for a 1cm Minish-scale link (or pretty close to 28mm tabletop scale). It's so plucking big and I have no idea what I am going to do with it. Anyway, I'm going to go scream into the void until I'm able to playTears of the Kingdom.
And a HUGE thanks to all the support from everyone on Patreon! And a double thanks for fueling me with bird puns.

Addressing the concerns: the microplastic grinding at 10:25 was done in an area where I was able to sweep up the plastic debris off the cement I was sitting over. This was easier than trying to sweep up my room. No ground water/dirt/grass was harmed in the making of this video (in my best judgement). But next time, I'll try to rig up some vacuum system. Thank you for everyone's concerns!
It's okay man we forgive you for the goof.

@@njinlover tell me about it
Semi-Unrelated fact: Vah Medoh is named after Medley from WindWaker
As a PhD candidate studying birds (certified bird nerd), I can say with 100% certainty that your portrayal of -government drones- birds are completely accurate
I mean... Vah Medoh was rebuilt by the Hylian Royal Family... and it's effectively a big drone... It IS a Government-Sponsored Drone
Yeah well I’m a bit of an expert in bird law myself…
Birds aren't real.

This is proof that the English language is flawed and that sounding words out is a lie
Oh god…
Lmaoo
The accuracy, the comedy, the life hacks, the modeling tips, the whole build its self, all of it is beautiful, someone should give this man some sort of an award
Don't prean yourself for doing your job

I'm new to the channel so the almost-too-perfect usage of random trash and junk turning into such a beautiful piece of art is so impressive I can barely comprehend how amazing it all is. I hope this video gets a billion views.
im sorry. it got a million. 😔 anyway, i agree!!!
Guys has anybody noticed how this guy would be perfect for the Bolson Construction Company? His name ends with ‘son’ He’s good at building He’s building something about Hyrule
Studson moving to Tarrey Town and selling trash it's canon now

If this turns into part of the lore I’m all for it

You said editing twice.😅
@@rosehodgson Yes, the editing is my favorite part.
11:27 To answer your question, yes they do! its called a scapula (which is the same name as shoulder blade bone) but they have an extra bone called a corocoid! You can feel it (if you are lucky enough to hold da bird) near their chest area :)
W bird fact
Hold da bird
"My partner lost a set of earrings..." had me right here.
The skill of making builds out of random things will never cease to amaze me.
What also amazes me is how he knows which parts are the best to use, it must require not only a great memory but also a lot of sifting through his 'junk store'.
Seriously shocking.

@@SlartiMarvinbartfasta lot of imagination plus working memory.
I recognize the potato profile picture. I used it for the thumbnail of my first video.
Can we just appreciate the absolute talent this man has? Like he can make amazing sculptures out of nothing, his comedy is extremely well written as well as a master of segways, he’s able to take random patron users and order them into a coherent song, and he can edit it all into a really engaging video. Like Jesus Christ man just so much creativity.
Jesus Christ wasn’t as creative (or witty) as Studson and, well… I hope Studson doesn’t end up the same way. I hear being crucified stings a bit. 😂
Bruh
I'm tired of people 3D printing stuff, Studson makes me so happy because he makes everything by hand.❤
@@Onsvaltti Yeah, whatever advantages the 3d printing method has, the process of making it by hand is more entertaining to watch
I absolutely love 3D printing stuff but this is just so, so much more impressive, I completely agree
The wood things you used to make the sternum are giant "clothes pegs" that are held together by a thick elastic for blanket fort building. Very common in Waldorf and Montessori play.
I have been searching the comments for this! Ta v much 👍
I love the genuine giggle at your partner saying “shawarma”
I get a little excited whenever I see the horseshoes being used. It's like the a little recurring Easter egg.

Gorgeous build as always! Regarding the "using trash or not" when building, I mean yes using all trash is impressive and a big part of your channel as well. But I also just enjoy seeing you use everyday materials (it being trash or foam or neither) to create new and cool things!
wait 18 hours ago but the vid was 4 hours? is my computer broken?
@@sterm1ous probably viewed it early from patreon or something when it was private

thank you for making these videos i love watching them so much. i have alot of trouble falling asleep but your voice is really relaxing and helps me fall asleep. your sense of humour is great and i really enjoy your editing style, just so much effort goes into everything. idk how to say it but its very engaging and it takes my mind off my anxiety and thats how im able to finally fall asleep. i’ve seen every video and i even rewatch them every now and then. it’s always a real treat whenever you upload, so thank you for doing what you do!
Same i just watch His Videos bc well for 1. if am Bored and i have nothing to play on i just watch some of his Videos over and over again and 2. bc i have nothing to play on so i watch him
the ammount of consistency with which studson turns garbage into some of the dopest minis ive ever seen is flooring
Revali: Hah! There's no way you can get up to that divine beast on your own! Studson: Literally just makes the beast himself
😅funny seeing you here
@@nevs_. LMAO I am almost done editing this next video Kirby, but when Studson Studio uploads, I cannot go against my programming to click it and watch it
Wow! Just took a look at ur channel, neat stuff! Def a new sub! ❤
@@CrossingCrafts 🥹🥹I can’t wait for the next video I just know it’ll be just as great as studsons
Studson is the anccient sheikah, in case you didnt know. Only a true zelda fan would be able to recognise such expert crafstmanship
I'm always amazed at how insanely accurate these turn out. Your eye for matching up bits and bobs with the finer details is so damn impressive it's not even funny.
What I've learned is that you just need things that look roughly the right shape. Any oddities can be fixed with weathering, moss, or hot glue!
Bro this guy has to be German otherwise my life is a lie
17:31 It is so satisfying to watch everything just Tetris into place
"You'll never be able to build that Divine Beast on your own!" -Ravioli
I love his humor and how his partners stuff just conveniently gets lost more often than not! His designs are great and he kept me laughing throughout the video😂
It is unbelievable that you crafted this masterpiece using some of the most useless trash you can possibly find on the side of the road. You are incredibly talented man
If no one mentioned it, the 1” black discs with “m”s on them are discs for a discbound notebook. Those one specifically are from Staples and they’re called Arc notebooks. They come in different sizes and colors, and you can get metal ones. They’re actually cool notebooks lol
The fact you’re able to include a joke every 4 frames of this video fills my soul with joy. I’m about to binge all your videos, and subscribe to your patreon once I get paid this week. Keep up the good work!
The wooden shapes from your thrift shop bag were spring clamp halves from a Waldorf school. You connect the two with a broccoli rubber band to make the clamp. They are pricey to buy new. Nice build.
That's so random and so cool. Didn't even know these were a thing, now I know!
It broke my heart watching him saw through them!!
What is a broccoli rubber band, and how is it different from a regular rubber band?
@@fluffysheepfallingasleep609 I'm guessing those big thick bois that come on broccoli in the grocery store.
@@LycorisAcissejDur Aaah, i always just use frozen vegetable mixes (cheap, easy, several different veggies in one), I have never bought a fresh big broccoli, so i didn't know they had rubber bands on them
How dare you use foam board, that's not garbage! 🙂 But seriously, that's a superb build. The commentary and editing is spot on as always. BTW, stop stealing your partner's earrings! 🙂
Those are the most passive-aggressive emojis I’ve ever seen

17:53 he just predicted tears of the kingdom 💀
12:59 theirs probably a stork joke in there but I'm too lazy to deliver it
There it is
Fun Fact: the squiggly Shikah pattern on all the shrines, guardians, and divine beasts are based on ancient pottery from Japan's Jōmon period.
I like to watch a lot of diorama and miniature videos but his videos are the only videos of this genre where I don't skip or watch at 2x speed. Its genuinely fun to watch from start to end.
Right!! His commentary is fun, creative, and it feels like a conversation rather than a lecture.
Kids these days and their short attention spans....Não what is it doing what is其实够你去死ワイスジョインですwhat is it in Spanish why is it turning into squiggly is what it is why is it turning into Japanese and Chinese important fui-me因为猫竟然说我スマホXperiaの子悪い子悪い子うまいI accidentally turned on the microphone and then I clicked the the the weird of the world world I can’t get it switched help yeah you are
same, his commentary is unlike anyone else's! enough happening with his mouth to keep your attention on the build
There was no joke at all. It was indeed, just a panda. All in all, this design is absolutely stunning. Your determination and persistence - I don't even have the words.
ive never seen anyone make a project workflow so much fun. The spoon target, the game over bit, etc. Idk how you plan those things into it when balancing filming & crafting but its fantastic
Your ability to take trash and dollar store finds and make genuine art inspires me, it also probably helps that you make nerdy things that I’m super into You make great content
The principle of recycling things to create something beautiful is really great !!
@@IdentifiantE.S I view it as taking back from the wasteful overconsumption of capitalism… just me?
Totally agree
The building is very impressive, but what I feel is neglected is the editing in this video. It’s just so smooth
This is so cool, I hope you do the other divine beasts too. I would also love to see a great fairy fountain diorama
If you want, could probably make hole cutters (from trash) from the thin metal around batteries if you tear it off, sharpen the edge and roll it back up (don't worry, there's a sealed metal tube underneath, the outer layer is more for rigidity or decoration). My dad used to make them, but I really can't remember what he was cutting holes in. He was always DIY inventing things.
As someone who hopped on to the Studson train for the BOTW Stable build, this is wish fulfillment at its finest, I’m so happy I got to see this
The build is FANTASTIC, hope you’ll also make the other three
@10:37, that howling sound made me nostalgic for sure.
I'd be careful about using baking soda for texture - it's not very stable chemically and over the past year I've had to strip a lot of models I used it on when I first started out (six or seven years ago), as it eventually turns into a pretty awful sludge. Using it with superglue seems to render it inert but just mixing it with paint is setting up a timebomb.
Great tip. But I'm sure we can now all look forward to seeing the sludge version of Vah Medoh (the Divine Beast in this video) as it slowly deteriorates into goop.
the reintroduction of Lonk (TM) 9:23 caught me so off guard i love it
3:01 I was not expecting to hear softly, gently in a craft video but I'm glad I did.
Amazing as always, always so excited to see you post! I'm so happy to see a constant quality, love, and attention to detail in your videos. One of my favorite KZhead artists ever! ❤
Maybe the "S" shapes at 11:13 are the Sheikah equivalent of that weird "S" we all used to draw in elementary school
You NEED to make the complete set of all 4 now. Amazing work
Then he can use the pattern rollers again too! Get some more use out of them after all that time making them! 😅
congrats on 1M!!! 💛💛💛 your videos make me feel so good. my mental health has been declining since the loss of a friend and your videos, no matter how many times i’ve watched them, make me feel content. happy, even. thank you
the music change at 13:46 on the wing detailing was amazing. thanks for a wonderful view!
Studson never fails to paint long lasting smiles across our faces, when we sit down and watch him craft these lovely creations!
As a fellow artist who’s starting to learn how to use junk to make art, I SALUTE YOU for this work! This is incredible…
"A water" tickled me so much i will start using it in my vocabulary
this is absolutely INCREDIBLE, i was HYPED throughout and only upped my excitement for TOTK!!! i just discovered your channel and it is the best thing I've seen today, really cheered me up after exam week(s) and experiencing a recent loss
Even though you explain and show the process throughout, it still feels like magic when the end result pops up. Wonderful job!
I’m always so amazed how you get such a realistic-looking stone texture. This looks absolutely gorgeous!
❤❤ Lionel
really amazed how he got so good results using only thin air. Ive only managed that with thicker air, and never to that quality. Studson truly is one of the modern masters.
I've come to expect magnificent videos from Studson and this was no exception; I *wasn't* expecting to also get absolutely EARWORMED by the patron shout-out this time.
Hey Stud, you did a really good job with those dashes inside of the rip cord, the rest of the build too, but especially those dashes
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I loved all of the puns in this video, but my favourite was at 16:48 where the foam cut out is flipping the bird
Between this and all the Howl's castle variations I've ended up watching most of your channel videos and your work is truly stellar.
I am immensely relieved that the earrings are safe and sound! Fantastic build as always Studson
I remember a while back you teased this project by playing the Vah Medoh sound (which I immediately guessed and had a heart attack) Your builds are so amazing! You definitely have a (bird's) eye for crafting!
i just want to say, thankyou so much for making these videos Studson, you gave me a new hobby i enjoy, and you give me and i imagen many others inspiration, and im planning on becoming a patreon soon!!!
You are so amazing every little detail is thought out and I just love watching you work ! I think I’ve rewatched things 10x and if I had patreon I’d watch you everyday ! Thank you for sharing your art 🥰🥰
If i could make one change to BoTW i would add Studson as the final npc accepted into Tarrey Town. Then he could make models of all the creatures and landmarks you find, and Link could decorate his home with them
Can't believe this journey's been two years already 🥰 My life is significantly richer with Studson in it
This might be my new favourite! You never cease to amaze me in both your skill of craft, editing and funnies! Great job :))
Just found this channel and figured I’d like since I love north of the border, wasn’t expecting a notb reference in the first video I watch, awesome video!
Definitely had a big laugh with the running gag of "My partner recently lost some earrings" I just discovered the channel, and it's all very entertaining content!
9:56 THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN TOUCHED BY WORMY DEALIES OH MY GOD THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY
Your skillset from recycling, modelling, to song writing and humour is so remarkable! Thank you for all these well-produced and hilarious videos, you are fantastic!
I enjoyed your shoutout song at the end. Also the sculpture of course.
Holy crap. That’s amazing. One of the only 30 minute videos that I’ve watched all the way through and not regretted it in any way.
Wow, what a nice coincidence -- I'm on my second playthrough of BOTW in anticipation for TOTK, and I just beat this divine beast last night! Awesome work as always!
I haven't even finished the game yet lol, I didn't want it to end because I liked it so much. Now that TOTK is coming out soon, I finally defeated all 4 divine beasts and I'm gonna try to get all shrines finished before I end the game. I get so lost in that game lmao, I can't imagine playing it twice! Good luck to you on your second playthrough :)
Haha I did the same thing! One last play through until it becomes the ignored older sibling 😢
Holy crap! I just thought this was another crafts video, but your creativity in choosing parts, your skill of decorating, and jokes you made along the way were awesome! Definitely subbing to check out your other stuff!
I'm new to the channel and loved the humor and everything about the video, and the singing was absolutely beautiful
I think the things at 16:18 are little stacking/balancing toys! My grandparents had some that were shaped like kangaroos. If they're not that, then I'm really not sure!
17:40 - I was soooo not expecting a Rehydrated Ganon reference! XD This sorta thing is only possible from someone who is absolutely Aware(tm) of the fandom, which I guess you have to be to make your own texture roller from a screencap from the one famous "10 ways Link can tell Revali to stuff it" video
Its always so amazing to watch these videos - i love the creativity in using so much one time use plastics and old toys. Your editing is top notch and sense of humor us superb. Subscribed to watch all your vids!
i watched this when you first uploaded it because i am a passionate bird enthusiast but i got botw for christmas and im playing it for the first time so now im rewatching your zelda vids with a new sense of wonder and appreciation.
It literally looks like a 1:1 to vah medoh in zelda. You did a fantastic job!
15:55 are you just stealing her earrings and saying they're "lost"? the first one I could get on board with, but this one is just robbery. lmao
It's a joke.
This is such an amazing project, thank yoy for blessing us with another humorous video 🎉
I love how much depth just the colors add!!
14:59 justice for snail clown
Studson is one of the few creators that I can sit through and watch their videos without distraction. :) His builds are so good!
Beautifully done Studson! And sooo detailed!! 😍
Your Chanel is the only one I actually wait for new videos to come out on. Please keep up the fascinating work.
I can't describe how happy this video made me. The Divine Beasts were my favorite part of BotW, and they seem to be missing in TotK. I needed this!
I love comically big bird made out of materials (also the commentary from Revali is so cool, I can’t believe you got the man himself to say some things for you!)
These videos are so calming for me and always put my mind at ease. Thank you
The patreon shoutouts was probably my favorite part (the rest was still awesome) it was such a bop
9:48 Look he said the thing he said the thing! this episode is officially not just good, but good enough™
The attention to detail is INCREDIBLE!! I really admire the way you’re able to see something massive and break it down into tiny parts that all come together so nicely. It’s always a joy to watch your videos 💜
It's so amazing how you find objects to replicate every detail on vah medoh! You should make the other divine beasts too!
I dont know how many times i watched this video but i just cant get enough of this beautiful big bird and this great humour❤
28:44 bro got dem vocals
Once again I have no idea how you do these things. I watch the video and I’m still stunned every time you do the final shots. The level of detail, the accuracy, the paint job, just every step is pure perfection. And you’re almost at 1Mil subs!! You totally deserve it, man. There’s no one else like you on this platform with your mix of comedy, great editing, build skills, and smooth singing voice. We are blessed 🙌
I love his little jokes! “My partner lost her earrings and I found them so it’s good for me!” 😊 this channel is so enjoyable :D
Bro…. I literally watched this whole thing thru and was Soo interested in every single step. Your commentary is funny as shit and the music and sounds from Zelda had a nostalgic feel all the way thru. Great job on your creativity and your filming skills and storytelling!!! You’re a true artist!!!!
This is just so incredible. There's something so satisfying and baffling about watching you build the base and me going. there's no WAY this'll end up as wild and incredible as his other builds. Only for you to paint it and me going -surprise pikachu-
