that face is freaky. And the model is great too... Knew you could do it, thanks for taking part!

Whenever you walk around, it feels like you're holding me by my neck while calmly explaining the grim reality that awaits me.

Very nice! Looking forward to watching this dude touch down on that battlefield of yours!

If you add a VHS filter to this entire video it would make an amazing "found footage" style hobby film. It's already more than half way to that destination anyway. Mad Alex Labs, deep in a bunker somewhere in the north. No masks, all fumes, and fevered building. On the other hand, don't listen to me. Awesome little bot.

What a beautiful piece of cinematography, I feel like I'm watching a personal diary of man living next to Roadside picnic

The nervous energy bubbling behind the entire video is exactly how I feel about tricky kitbashes 😂 Both a very funny ep and a very cool result!

You've done a great job of threading this process into a narrative. Your lighting serves the quietly frantic pressure of a collaboration, and manages to compliment your setbacks beautifully. Amazing bot, and amazing work!

Reminds me of some kind of haunted, Deiselpunk golem. I could see that beast terrorizing some scavengers in Forbidden Psalm: The Last War.

I want to see the dinosaur kitbash for a world transformed vid!! No joke I do!

Thoroughly enjoyed that Alex, and your semi-panicked intro was really funny. A great robot build.

I've never seen such an unhinged scandinavian reaction before

Awesome work, dude. Love your studio space, too!

I love how this came out. I definitely would have leaned more heavily into the body horror and got some more trapped soldiers in there for more "bone" though! What a freaky effect. If it's a bit unstable, perhaps some thin armature wire from the electric hands could trail across the floor to provide additional points of contact with the ground?

Fantastic to find new fellow creators through this bot bash. You have such clean shots with great lighting!

I've been one of those people a little hesitant to try oils but you've got me inspired! This is gorgeous, what a face!

Nice work, Alex. I really like the frenetic, handheld nature of this video overall. Makes it seem post-apocalyptic to a point. Thoroughly wonderful, as always. Cheers

Hey Alex, I really enjoy your videos and your sense of humor. I'm keeping my wife awake because I keep laughing at your comments. Thanks!! 😂

Brilliant video. Wasn't expecting the horror movie effects. Nice dice roll....and fancy pants. Glad I am not the only one who experiences kit bashing = bandaids (plaster in English), though mine isn't as cool as yours.

I've always loved your filmmaking and storytelling, and the build is great too, especially considering how rarely you scratch build. Great video!

My jaw dropped when you brought out the face. This is such a wonderful, cool, weird build!

So cool! I liked seeing you struggle out of your comfort zone. The paint job was absolutely beautiful

I've been excited to watch this since the Discord message was sent out announcing it. I'm glad you went with the "garbage kit" route. It was much more interesting and enjoyable to watch in my opinion. Thanks for another great video!

Great build and loved the creative process explained behind it. Look forward to more of your creative kitbashes as you go!

I've seen some previews at the discord but I didn't notice the heads and they are freaking me out in the best possible way - what a work of art. I really wish I had junk like this laying around... what a coincidence and how handy for this challenge ^^

Fantastic video and build. Agree with Bill, the little head is freaky, but awesome. Really vibe with your laid back presentation. Honour being part of the collaboration with you!

way to go Alex..I love the Crusher. Now, thanks to you, I am not and have not been afraid of oil paints, however I am making a note never ever to purchase that fancy hobby oil wash and solvent that crushes sprue goo and model cement. Yikes! A thoroughly enjoyable video; your Bot will be a formidable foe battling soldiers and other spirit types in A War Transformed.

WOW “fancy pants” you got trolled by the dice!! 😂😂😂 Good effort tho you created a really bizarre yet cool looking bot thing 😊

This was honestly a great watch, it gave an excellent perspective on your thought process and while you do explain it to us this was an great representation in real time so to speak I think it turned out well in terms of Bone legs I think that un armored mechanical legs counts as the bones of a metal construct the hands are my favorite part thoughts the use of the telegraph poles definitely were a great choice. It honestly looks like it was put together by magic Great Job Alex :)

Love it!

One of the cooler kit bashes I've seen!

Great looking mini.

I'm so into it, can't unsee it once u see it! freakin love it!

Excellent build. Ive loved this challenge, it helped me find out about so many great creators and amazing videos to add to the watchlist

Loved this little thing. It almost looks cute!

Great stuff friend 👏 👍 Thanks for sharing your journey

A master of the narrative and a cute little face to boot! Stomp stomp stomp 😂 Wonderful video again Alex.

Looks great 👍

Great build, kitbashing is it's own skill and it is nice to see it included in the bot bash. The concept of the face is horrifying and I love it.

Awesome!! love it!!

It's so interesting to see you so flustered as I feel like you're always so calm in these videos but I absolutely love this end result.

Great Bot Build! I appreciate your first attempt to use found objects. That can be quite difficult w/out a little luck.

I love all the details ❤

i love the presentation style of this video. and the bot of course ;)

You did a great job with this. I love that you've made it fit with your own story.

Always a highlight when you post!

The style of this was such a departure from your usual clean and calculated ways, it was a bit unsettling. But it shows you’re an excellent videographer.

I do love watching your mistakes from time to time. Note to self, when I decide to work in oils use traditional oil and white spirits, don't buy into 'miniature' oil paints. I love the finished robot, and all the new videos/content creators to watch!

Your bot has great character and life! Really well done. Thanks for sharing.

Going wrong in the best sense. Turned out amazing! Awesome video.

17:21 "...and then lightly... Whoops, that wasn't 'lightly', was it..." Leaving this in shows Integrity and humour, and that is why I like your videos! 😂

I love this, well made!

Love the faces in the bot

Great build man, the face makes it! Also really enjoyed the video, It really takes a lot to chill me out but this episode really did make me relax and vibe. Really looking forward to going through the back college of your channel!

Very cool Alex! Kit bashing is fun and that turned out pretty nice. Great inspiration as always and I think I am going to have to pick up a copy of A War Transformed for my collection, everytime I watch one of your videos lately I find my self going and looking at it on Amazon....😗

This video is exactly why I bloody love your channel, Alex. Bravo

Crikey! My prayers have been heard! Thank the stars above!

That turned out good! Great job on this attempt at a different format!

Two weeks ago while cutting a piece out of a mold I sliced right though my pinky finger. I feel your pain Alex...maybe I'm reading too much between the lines?😂 Also the faces inside your crusher are inspired.

Very very cool! Always loved your stuff mate but love finding new channels through colabs like this

I love the idea of an "ad-hoc golem" and it looks awesome! But oh man, if only you had some skeleton bits to make the bony legs that would make it sooo creepy. Like as if it had used cadavers from the battlefield for parts of itself.

👌excellent paintjob as usual, love it ! .

Speed holes is a Simpsons reference. Homer was dressed as Krusty the Clown who had a hit out on him. Homer was at a car lot and the hitman kept missing. Homer asked about the bullet holes and the salesman told him they were speed holes. Basically bullet holes or battle damage. Nice looking kitbash.

A battlefield junk golem. Nice idea.

I learned about Sprue Glue a good while ago from one of your earlier videos. I still use and swear by it to this day. Its a wonderful idea.

That poor Panzer IV 😉 For the price of that kit you would get a combat patrol box. Anyway nice video & oils are great!

Fantastic model. It needs a bit of bulk on the back. An old crate or something around the upper back. Just a thought.

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more; the build or your absolutely insane camera work. I think it's a bit of a tie, really. Great work on the bot and thanks for a wonderful video!

I think you got the most unique traits for your bot.

Awesome cinematic video as always.

Good job.

That's a creepy bot! Creating some forking electricity around that hands could be cool - just for an extra layer of menace

My favorite part of the whole thing is because the robot is predominantly clockwork, you could still theoretically use it for part of a fantasy gnome army, or like city states (even better for the Conquest equivalent)

This turned out great!

Great work as usual! Heads up though!! No, literally take your head away from the open sprue-goo container. Those fumes aint good for the brains.😉

It genuinely upsets me how everything at 8:13 looks perfectly exposed and you probably weren't even trying. Looks this bot as well!

Fantastic build brother you did an outstanding job man the paint job looks great.

Here from Boylei. Great build. I like the bike light idea

Awesome 🤖

That looks really cool.

Great video, thanks for sharing your journey, and letting us know what to avoid 😅.

This Big Bot Bash colab has been really fun to watch.

Cool model. That aesthetic fits so well into WW1 meets magic. First time watching your content. I love your video style. I feel like I'm playing an immersive horror game and wondering if there will jump scares or if I will even survive to the glamour shots. Love the vision and execution.

I wouldn't like to mess with this guy. Looks nice!

Lovely build and paint job Alex! That head is so so freaky

Very cool!

This is so cool!!

I love this video . Very different style . But very funny and fun plus a great build . Well the glue iissue wasnt fun or funny. But showed that everyone runs into issues you dont expect.

Finally got round to watching thos! DEFFINITELY NOT TRASH! 😂 but once again, well done!

I think the first video I watched from you was one where you were going through the recycle bins to build an ork town so this certainly fits haha

Looks amazing!!! Completely out of your usual but you created beautifully!!! 😊😊😊

heads, after a while they will become bones. is an accicdentally very unsettling line

Dude, Alex, the look on your face in the first 5 minutes of the video is so “I am a mile outside of my comfort zone.” I love it! Really fun to see your entire creative process with the dinosaur and the monster truck. I was laughing. That’s the look I get on my face when I have to deal with trash, too. 😂

“Whoops, that wasn’t lightly was it?” Bah, extra battle damage! There are no accidents!

Hello! Great work. I came because of Bill making stuff's recommendation.Congratulations!

Nice work, love how you integrated the prompts into your current hobby project. The single colour base coat really works for this build. I'm always amazed how much the finishing layers add. Good reminder not to sweat the small stuff while base coating. Re: solvent safety - I'm not an expert, but I don't think white spirits are any worse than plastic glue. Unless your mask/filter has a charcoal layer (maybe that big mask you had does!), I don't think it does anything to protect you from VOCs. I personally use a fan or open window to keep fresh air circulating, and gloves to keep it off my skin when working with oil washes. There are other solvents you can use with oils (e.g. citrus based or natural turpentine), but not sure how they behave with plastic and acrylic paints. Actually, these may have been the cause of your disassembly incident.🤔

Hi Alex, I have to say, it makes me smile to see you having issues with something, you're always very accurate, and I love to watch you work, but you know, sometimes things just go wrong, take a breath, and go on, I really loved to watch you working out this mini, it's been "challenging" to work on something out of nothing? To see something and picture it out as something different?

7:47 in my experience sanding the sprue goo parts afterwards, it is not as solid as plastic, but still decent. A good thing to keep in mind when you touch up our cleaning process after the sprue goo has dried. I found that the thicker plastic cement also gap fill relatively well. EDIT: to be fair I remember using a non GW plastic because I wanted the sprue goo to have a different color, so it would be easier to distinguish for sanding purposes. So could have been the different properties of the plastic. I still like the idea of sprue goo having a different color, so I will try colored GW plastic next time.

Hi Alex. It seems to me that the average bits box is full of junk, and junk is trash, so I think you're good. 🙂 Your robot came out great. Keep having fun. 👍

Oh boy, wouldn't know where to start. Much like cobbled-together weapons systems used in resistance movements. While not an exact historical parallel, (history doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes) it reflects the spirit of improvisation and adapting existing technology to achieve new objectives. (I am not suggesting resistance movements for any country)

Knäppgöken Bill skickade hit mig! Din bot ser schysst ut! 👍👍👍
