(That’s why I voted that way at least, I suppose I shouldn’t speak on behalf of everyone else) Thanks for yet another great video!!

I have watched several other crafters make foam bricks. They use a hot wire cutter to do it. And while I can see that it is much faster for them to do it that way I really enjoy the charming and frankly more realistic bricks that you ended up with. Even with the extra time and effort it might take to cut them by hand I feel that the aesthetic is worth it. Well done.

@earlware4322 2 жыл бұрын

I agree. While using a hot wire might be quicker and get you more uniform bricks, chopping them by hand results in more 'organic' bricks. And we all know that free-range, organic bricks are the best!

Scratchbuilding is of course a major skill and I know it's taken years of honing, but it still looks like absolutely-for-real magic to me when you pick something up I've been seeing every day of my life....and suddenly it's a door!! Suddenly it's cool guns and barbed wire and monster eyes! I'm slowing working my way through your videos - I started all the way back there at Episode 1 - and I love your sense of humour and your unmatched skill at making the coolest rusty things from junk and bits and bobs.

Bill, "Zoe the Robot" thinks that when you get your miniature town built, you should set it all up, add some colored lighting, and tour the town with a miniature camera, making a "Bill Making stuff" documentary. Add in some of your 28mm guys and some stop motion, and it would look really cool.

So there is a nice system I've seen for painting corroded metal, start by mixing your metallic paint with a brown, then give it a heavy dry brush of the metallic paint followed by a dark wash, then paint of your paint colors from there with whatever chipping or sponging method you prefer and then finish up with all the extra weathering layers. While I have only seen this done with red brown iron, I would think it would work as well with a brass or copper paint mixed with an appropriate blue green.

I think "a little bit of everything" is what keeps a channel interesting. I caught myself skipping over videos of channels I once binged because it's "just the same thing in a different color". Also great build! I really enjoy the trash builds because they are examples of fairly cheap crafting (i.e. I live in central Europe and and I have no idea where to grab XPS or EVA foam but so many American builders use it almost exclusively) and you are a master of just eyeballing everything (textures, composition,etc.) which I also enjoy very much. I need the preplanning and the precision for my day job, so eyeballing my crafts feels very relaxing I would love a basing video as well :)
