Bringing Giant Pokemon Cards to Life: Epic 3D Dioramas

TLDRWatch as I create stunning 3D dioramas for giant Pokemon cards, using laser cutting, sculpting, and creative set dressing. Each diorama captures the essence of the Pokemon, bringing them to life in miniature worlds. The process includes building the diorama boxes, painting the scenes, and adding custom lighting effects. Join me on this Pokemon card re-addiction journey!
