30 000 Subscribers and the future of Duckpondanimations

So, a few days ago my youtube channel hit 30 000 subscribers. I got a huge boost in views and subscribers a few months ago, when I released a stop motion video based on the hugely popular Among us videogame. Usually I only have time to make one video in a year, but now I think that I should start uploading more often. Something with less effort put into it, but uploaded more often. I'm not a huge fan of this idea, since I would prefer for my youtube channel to be a colletion of my best work, with no extra filler in between. But it would be a shame to waste the momentum I've gained from the Among us video by spending a year on another video. I've been thinking if I would upload these smaller videos on some other site as a test and then upload them to youutbe if the response is positive. I just recently started an instagram account. I haven't gotten a handle on how the site works yet, but it could be a good place to upload some smaller, lower effort content. At the moment I've been uploading pictures of my model kits there. I only build a few of them in a year, but I still have a few on my shelf that I haven't photographed and uploaded yet. Once those run out, I'll have to come up with something new. I also tried out Tumblr. Overall I prefer it to instagram because the variety of content you can upload is nicer. But the site seems kind of empthy nowdays, so I dont think I'll put much effort into updating it. Twitter also has some more posting options, but I don't want to join it. Honestly the community there seems like the worst and not something I would want to spend any time with. So basically. New video will be out when it's done. I'll try to upload more often. And I'll post progress updates on my instagram.


ps. I waited a few days to get a little extra subcribers before writing this. Because I felt that there would be some scoundrels who would think it to be terribly funny to unsubcribe and bring the subscriber count below 30 000 again.

1/35 Edelweiss from Valkyria chronicles

Image
I was kind of hesitant to try out Valkyria chronicles. I liked X-com and Valkyria chronicles was a similar strategy game, but I just didn't like the anime theming of the game. Even so, I eventually got around to playing it. And I'm glad I did. I ended up really liking the game, despite the anime theme. In some ways I even prefer it to X-com. Since I liked the game so much, I wanted to build something from it. I chose the main characters tank, the Edelweiss. The Edelweiss is not based on any real tank. It has design elements taken from real tanks mixed up in it's design, But it really doesnt resemble any tank that closely. That would mean, that I would have to scratch build a lot for this project. So far, this one has the most extensive scratch building of any of my projects. Aside from the turret, everything above the treads is scratch built. This was also my first time building a tank. Im more familiar with planes, so I didn't instantly know which kit would be a good b...

1/144 Zaku I

Image
  I wasn’t a huge fan of the Zaku I initially. To me, it never really looked like a predecessor to the Zaku II, rather just a stripped down version of it. But the design eventually grew on me and I liked it enough to build a model of it. This isn’t actually a Zaku I model kit. It was built out of a HG Zaku II from the 08th ms team line. It was a simple conversion, since the Zaku I is just a Zaku II with some bits taken off. Mostly, I just had to fill in the holes left by the power cables and do some scratchbuilding. I built joint covers for the elbows and built a new armour part for the cockpit hatch. The machine gun was made by cutting up the old gun and rearranging the pieces to make the Zaku I machine gun. The spikes on the shield are the spikes that were cut off of the shoulder ball. I also made new shoulder and ankle joints for the model. The model was painted with a brush and then I added some decals and weathering. Comparing the unpainted model and the finished version New a...

Quackpond Games is live!

Image
  Gearbits Test site by Quackpond-Games Gearbits test site is a third person action game where you pilot a giant robot. Choose a robot, pick your weapons and test them out at the test site. Defeat monsters and beat enemy pilots to unlock more gear. This is a small demo that I'm hoping to eventually expand into a full game. I've been working on this for a while now and I'm finally ready to publish a playable demo. It's far from finished of course. But if I just keep fussing with it and try to make it perfect it's never going to get done.
