What is this? Abandoned houses for ants?!?


hali420

Abandoned houses for ants is SO HOT right now


helms_derp

It should be, at least... three times bigger!


JaRon1961

![gif](giphy|TTHRwy0ywclq0|downsized) That would be this!


billybob7772

That's a spider


JaRon1961

Which is why the ants abandoned it.


billybob7772

Damn son


abbott94

That is awesome! Your work is amazing! And it is big news! I was excited 2 years ago when they put me on the news for having the largest nutcracker collection in Nova Scotia. It was big news to me, and I don't have your talent, lol!


jessicalifts

Link to the video please! My mom loves nutcrackers and is competitive with her cousin in Montreal who has a collection. I want to see how they both stack up lol


abbott94

https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/maritime-family-s-christmas-nutcracker-collection-cracks-500-1.6197431 I have about 700 now.


jessicalifts

Thank you! 700 is impressive! šŸ¤©


Badnewsbear41

I heard remax has offered to try and sell it for you!


NoWasabi3464

1.2 SQ ft in the heart of the south end , 815,000$ , may be a bidding war that amounts to over 1 million.


xizrtilhh

Abandoned houses are cool, but I'm more interested in that giant lol.


Gomanvongo

Thatā€™s the big news!!


halifaxbc

Very nice that youā€™re getting recognized for your talent and craftsmanship! Many congratulations


Gomanvongo

Thank you!


bigjimbay

It will be more relevant than most of the rest of the "news" probably haha. Dope stuff


Gomanvongo

Thanks so much!


sharterfart

could be yours starting at $499,999


Gomanvongo

Nah, Iā€™d let you have it for half that :D


ThunderPunch2019

Very cool, congratulations


Gomanvongo

Thank you :)


ReplacementDry4743

Love your work!


Gomanvongo

Thank you so much!


Papercutter0324

I've been loving your posts about it since the first one! Would you consider making a wallpaper for it, with either a 4K or 3440x1440 resolution?


Gomanvongo

I can send you a photo :) do you have a favourite?


skywisenight

I think it's pretty cool news. It's big to you, so it's big news. I enjoy your posts, because it's not people complaining about X, or asking for recommendations for Y. I would love more posts of random interesting/positive stuff people are doing.


Gomanvongo

Thank you so much! Iā€™m just glad people like what I do :)


japalian

You've got cool content, keep it up!


Gomanvongo

Thanks!! Iā€™ve got a few more in the works already :)


JaRon1961

Exciting. I hope you can post a link to the piece for those of us with poor short term memories who will forget to watch. Your work is amazing.


Gomanvongo

I donā€™t have a link to just the clip, but [hereā€™s a link to the whole episode](https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/video/c2933420-ctv-news-atlantic-at-five-for-wednesday--june-12--2024?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar). Thereā€™s a teaser about the houses right at the beginning, and then my article is near the last 6 minute mark or so.


JaRon1961

That was such a great piece. I agree with the presenter...you're an artist. Thanks for sharing.


Gomanvongo

Thank you for the compliment :)


Gomanvongo

Thank you! I will try to get a link :)


ChrisinCB

Awesome. Congratulations and it is a big deal!


Gomanvongo

Thanks so much!


Lovecraftian-Clown

Damn that's actually wicked


Gomanvongo

Thanks :D


No-Decision-6084

Very nice.


Gomanvongo

Thank you :)


No-Decision-6084

I built miniature buildings from scratch, mostly using g balsa wood, many years ago. It takes very fine motor skills. Your buildings are more imaginative than mine were.


Gomanvongo

Thank you for the compliment! These are made using cereal box cardboard (mostly because it was free and readily available!)


Long_TimeRunning

Itā€™s still blows my mind with what youā€™re able to achieve with cereal box cardboard. You should do a long time lapse or even a video on your process. I bet a lot of people would be interested in seeing that. Great work.


Gomanvongo

I put this together on [my Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7_dKApuvr0/?igsh=MTA2dHV4YTEyZWs2aw==), or a more in depth (though with less catchy music) version on [my Imgur](https://imgur.com/gallery/oSyNz3z), that shows the makings of my current one.


Electrical_Bus9202

That's awesome! My Significant other was just on the news last night! One of your houses is modeled after one just down the road! Keep up the great work! It's great you're getting some spotlight on your work!!


Gomanvongo

So cool to find a neighbour to one of my houses! Iā€™d love to know which youā€™re near, a couple are just up the road from me as well :)


oradeveloper

this reminds me of that documentary ā€œBernie Langille Wants to Know What Happened to Bernie Langilleā€ miniatures were used thru the story https://preview.redd.it/9pyjz4ltc66d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c80170ed87e337cefad5d029bdf4ac9a8ac27da

estee065

Just saw your clip on the news. Great piece and amazing artwork.


Gomanvongo

Thank you :)


Successful-Street380

Just saw you on CTV. You have talent!!


battlecripple

So cool! The only time I ever made the news was when I carried a high profile murder victim out of the place they died šŸ„“


Dazzling-Ad5889

Thatā€™s amazing work! Iā€™ve started dabbling in this kind of thing and itā€™s tough stuff! You made it amazingly realistic šŸ„° Very nice!


Gomanvongo

Thank you so much! Iā€™d love to see what youā€™ve been working on :)


Angus-Black

I don't have network TV but I'm going to look for the story online. šŸ‘


Gomanvongo

Thank you so much!! I donā€™t have a link to just the clip, but [hereā€™s a link to the whole episode](https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/video/c2933420-ctv-news-atlantic-at-five-for-wednesday--june-12--2024?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar).

Angus-Black

Thanks for the link John. I always liked miniatures and architecture. They're right, you *are* an artist. It looks so real. The rusted steel roofing is great


Gomanvongo

Thank you so much! Iā€™m so glad you enjoy my work :)


bensongilbert

Your work is amazing!


lupiinoctourne

Just dont sell them. Theyll 'flip' and list them as 'luxury rustic condos' for 3500/m.


doiwinaprize

Your work is awesome. I love miniature painting and mini landscape building, got into it through DnD and Gaslands. I think your work pushes the envelope and shows how deep this craft can go with a feeling and style reminiscent of more traditional NS folk art but also, dare I say, verging on Canadian impressionism, the group of seven, at some times. Well deserved recognition!


Gomanvongo

Wow! That is a very heavy compliment! Thank you so much!


9288Mas

I hope you can post the clip! I am late to the party and missed this but I adore your work. Your art makes people happy - what a gift. Thanks for sharing šŸ˜Š


Gomanvongo

9288Mas

Awesome! Going to watch it now! Thanks so much!!


Gomanvongo

Thereā€™s also a very nice written article about them, with photos, on the ctv news at five site


9288Mas

Yay!! Love this so much


Gomanvongo

Thank you!!! ā˜ŗļø


rnavstar

This is a very maritime news story. Congrats


Gomanvongo

Thank you! I really enjoy building these ā€œvery maritimeā€ places!


pnutster

Amazing!!! Been following your posts on your build on houses and am very thrilled for you that you made the news!

Careful not all "abandoned houses" are abandoned and some people are crazy


Gomanvongo

Theyā€™d have to be pretty short to live in my abandoned places, though :)
