Lets be honest, it's because Josh has better hair.

Sometimes being mates and doing business together ends in disaster; it is great to see two people making a mature business decision and still staying friends. I wish you both success and thanks for role-modeling how grown-ups should behave. Looking forward to the content you are both going to be putting out in the future.

Sad to hear, but mad respect for putting your creativity and mental health above the money. I wish you both the absolute best!

Luke and Josh - you both are beasts. I'm 100% sure both of you will have great success even if it might be without one another! Love love love

Shame it didn't work out. Hope you guys work together a bunch more. Josch is a top bloke and you guys are a right cute duo.

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out between the three of you, but glad that you, Josh and Jonch are on good terms.

Those outtakes are priceless - I'm glad you left them in! All the very best to both of you as you return to your separate ventures again. Can't wait to see the future collabs!

I've been a fan of both of you for a long time. I'm upset to see you two parting ways at least officially and I can't wait for more collabs between you two. I'm going to keep supporting you both on Patreon. Love you guys!

That sucks, you guys are great foils for each other, I hope you have collabs in the future because it is super fun seeing you two together.

This nearly made me cry. Props to you both for being so open and honest. The world needs more of it. Good luck to both of you. Absolute top lads!

Nothin but love for you both. Josh was great fun in front of the camera, but I did miss the build videos and the tutorials. Glad those are back on the table. I'll check out Josh's vids as well. Different strokes for different blokes, all that ;D

Oh thank fuck! Don't get me wrong, you guys are bloody great together, but you're also great individually. It was really noticeable that both your content was becoming homogeneous, and you may as well have just combined channels at that point: you could really hear Luke's influence on Josh's work. Similarly, the whole "this week we'll paint a sponsored thingy cos they've paid us to, while trying to tie in some vague theme and pretend we're not just getting paid to paint sponsor's models" schtick was very obvious, and growing tedious. It's stopped both of you actually being unique in your approaches. Having said that, you two on screen together is always a pleasure! You definitely bounce off each other provide a lot of laughs and an enjoyable viewing experience. Would definitely be good to still see you do collab work

Big love and support to both you lads! Things don't always work out as expected, and that's OK. You've given it a red-hot go and done bloody well. The fact it's created a space where you need to change things as they weren't going the way you expected? - you are doing the right thing by making changes. It may suck, but keeping your heads on straight is too important not to. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia =D

Sorry to see Josh go but glad you are going back to what made me subscribe in the first place. I am already subscribed to Josh's channel so I can still follow him. To be fair the sponsors should not be stifling your creativity, you are doing them a favour with low cost advertising. Good luck to the pair of you.

Good that you tried and are honest with yourselves and did not wait until things went soured! Good luck to both of you!

Gutted for you both. I thought for a minute you’d both stop with yt but glad you’re both going to carry on. I follow both your channels and love the content. Good luck to you both.

So gutted it didn't work, for Josh, for you, for the channel and the hobby in general. Genuinely loved the whole vibe and all the content you guys put out together. Massive shame it didn't work out, but really really well fucking done for handling it so well. (Absolutely not to be underestimated how difficult that must have been.) Remember you chatting to us about it at Chillcon and even how open and honest you were about it all back then was admirable. In the end I think it will end up being a net positive and that's down to how both of you have conducted yourselves. Big loves to both of u! ❤️

Sorry to hear this. Nothing kills creativity like pressure to have be creative.

It’s weird to give this video a like. It’s not that we like seeing Josh leave, but we want to help the algorythm for you both.

It is a tough situation to be in but i'm glad to see people talking about the added pressure of having the sponsorships and things on board and the impact it can have on you and your channel. It will be great to see some of the older style videos come back as well. Going to miss the tag team though, always been a very entertaining double act

Love you both! Sad news indeed but I know you'll both bounce back and keep being the awesome gentlemen you are!

being (appropriately) up front about the business side of being a creative in this hobby is something I value greatly in your videos. it's easy to get the wrong idea watching these kinds of channels, like everything isn't a business still... from people who should get way more views and struggle to find a foothold, to people who find great success with an audience but sacrifice their wellbeing or enjoyment in the process and burn out, while either situation maybe isn't apparent to the viewer until the channel goes under. Hope you both get to enjoy what you do and put out, for years to come.

Lots of love. You guys have created so much great content and provided so much great advice; gonna miss the team. Huge props to you both and TY for all the great content!

Thanks for letting us know and it sounds a very thought out decision. Life and work has to be fun. Good luck in the future to you both. I'll be following the videos when they come out.

Massive love to the pair of you, working together constantly can put a strain on the relationship (worked with my dad for 3 years lol), but watching this video just proves the love between ya. Good luck to you both, and I'll still be watching, just now with twice the videos 😁😁

This video was sponsored by Landed Titles you too can own a cm of one of our gaming boards on which we will stick a tree!

You gents made a hell of a team. I'm sorry that this didn't work out and I wish the best for you both in the next leg of your great adventures. Big loves to you both! ~ Wolfbrother Methos

Always tough doing business with friends/family but super happy to hear you guys are on good terms because I enjoy the content you both create.

Yeah, dudes. I totally get it. I do look forward to more scenic stuff. That's why I started following you. I did like the painting when it first started but you're right, the channel became largely a sponsored painting video.

I totally understand how easily one slides into a creative ditch, and how spiritually draining it can be. I look forward to seeing the best Luke has to offer, and wish Josh nothing but the best.

Well wishes to both of you! Can't wait to keep supporting y'all through this rough rebuilding time ❤️

Proof brutal honesty is the best in the end! Love the humor always with the two of you. Carry on and create!

Love Love Love

Great honest video lads, genuine and refreshing. I think you'll both join forces again in the near future. Take care.

Sorry to hear Josh. Definitely going to keep following and supporting you both 👍

So important to find the right balance. There are many more positives than negatives in this change, great to see you own your future. Good luck!

Sorry to hear it didn't work out the way you guys wanted it too but I guess without taking a leap of faith and trying these things it's best to have tried and it not worked than to not have bothered and always wondered what if. It's great that you've both managed to work through this and can still be great friends. No doubt we might see you guys coming together from your retrospective channels now and again in the time to come? ^^ But here's to you both for your future endeavours! :)

Sad to see the team split but the time you shared with us was absolutely fantastic to watch. Good luck Josh. And good decision Luke to want to focus on your business, you have to get your products out there, notably in Europe because with Brexit we can't afford to pay 18 pounds for delivery + taxes direct or from hobby shops in the UK, like we used to. Get your really nice product range in the major hobby stores online like super-hobby and we'll gladly support your brand. Few stores carry your products, can't ship throughout Europe or are often out of stock. I assure you there's business to be made here...

After watching the long time fall out of two people who I used to enjoy watching together I have to say this is the best way to do it, I think you guys came in with some things you wanted to say and then just riffed for a bit and I think you were honest. Honesty is the biggest thing and I think you can read it all over your faces. Luke is looking at this like I am going to try and be upbeat, please see that this was hard for me, I fucking hate this, and Josh... Josh just looks sad. And I have to say I can relate to both. I am sorry things didn't work out. I wish the world was slightly different, I have the distinct feeling that if you had of been doing this in booming 2017-18 things would have been a lot easier how a few years make a difference. Good Luck Love you guys

Such a shame, glad it’s left no bitterness. Best wishes to you both as you go forward.

It’s a business but your hobby too, you can’t escape that got to love it each and everyday. That’s what makes your content glow, if the love goes, it will show in the videos and products. Stay strong and stay safe.

I'm sorry for your co-operation to end. I'm glad you were both able to part on good terms. All the best to both of you!

All the best to both of you. Hope Josh will find a good landing place.

Sorry to hear this but thank you for making the vid . It's horrid when some oone leaves a channel without a good bye. Thank you for the good bye

Sorry to hear that hasn't worked out for you in that way. Tbh though i've been following the channel for a long while, and I had noticed that the videos were a bit more... commerically focused? recently. Looking forward to seeing you guys get to have more fun again

Devastated for both of you. Loved both of your channels for ages and both of you together was so fun.

All the best to both Luke and Jonksh. It has been really fun watching the Little and Large of the hobbysphere, and I will miss the banter.

Ahh man, i was there at the beginning and sad to be there at the end but glad to see the smiles are still there 😁

While I'm sorry to hear that it has been difficult and that Josh has had to seek pastures new, I am excited to see you make video content that you are genuinely passionate about again and hope things get easier. Love love love...!

Such a great comedy duo! Shame it didn't work for you guys, but glad you're still mates and are looking to the future!

I'm sorry to hear that you're splitting up but it's good that you both realized what the cause was and did something before your friendship was soured too. All the best to both of you and it will be interesting to see how things go in the future.

Love and respect. Good luck to both of you going forward.

Gutted it hasn't worked out the way you guys wanted, hope you'll still do semi regular collabs. Your chemistry has been great to watch but I'm subbed to you both anyway. And Josh will get plenty of business with hair like that! xxx

Best of luck to both of you, Looking forward

Bummer. That is the nature of biz unfortunately. Sometimes it works out. Who knows, something else may come back around in the future. Good luck Josh and Luke! Love the content you guys have done (and look forward to what you will do).

Nooo!!! You both worked so well...best of luck in what you both do.

You can feel the love between you guys. This must have been a really hard decision. Wishing you both “great success”.

Much love to you both. Your reasons are sound. Looking after your personal health and keeping the "love of the hobby" is very important.

thanks both of you for the great time! wish Josh all the best and just subed to his channel. maybe we will see a collab video in the future?

Best of luck with all your new projects.

I hope that things work out great for you both going forward. This is never an easy decision, and sometimes things just don't work out when you take risks. Be well both of you

I'm sure your paths will cross again on KZfaq. I enjoy both of your channels and wish you both well on your individual journeys. ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️

Absolutely gutted for you both, and commend you for the honesty, don't worry guys we still love you and will continue to support you on both channels

So sad to see Jonch go but it sounds like the right decision for you both. I've subbed to his channel and it would be cool to maybe see some occasional collaborations between you both in the not too dim and distant future.

Must be a shit scenario for both of you but completely understandable and nothing but the upmost respect for both of you for taking that route and choosing creative freedom over money. you're both legends of the game and I look forward to what you both put out in the future! big love.

It takes real men to make important decisions. You both are great guys and will be fine, even if it is in your own corners keep up the great work! 👍

Best be some colabs going forward. You dudes have a great chemistry.

hard decisions often end in better outcomes. speaking form experience of closing a business down last year due to burnout. stay strong brothers and we all look forward to seeing the content you enjoy making so much.

I swear if it had not been in Britain your wider business venture would have been a success; good luck to the both of you with future projects.

Sorry to hear that, going to miss the laughs! You guys together are hilarious 😂👌

Tough decisions yes, but I can feel the enjoyment and love of making these videos for you going back up not having to put out rushed content.

What a powerful video. Brave people! Hope you find the joy back! Hope your business becomes scalable. Enjoy life a bit!

Gutted. You have been a great team. Hope you both get on alright guys. 👍

Keep having fun! Life’s too short! Good luck to you both!!😉👍

Sad to hear that. But I hope everything works out for you guys! You should just have something like Trapped under plastic/Paint Bravely with normal conversation. I really enjoying seeing you guys together (and Josh's hair of course). Just bring out one once per month- I'd even pay for a Patreon for that.

Sad news but totally understand why it happened. But I did love the dynamic you guys had, I get you didn't love some of the content but it didn't come across in the videos.

sad to see it end but fingers crossed for the future :)

It's a pity, though honestly it's good that you're both still doing your own channels :)

I am going to miss the banter of you two playing off each other! I am glad that I will still be able to watch each of your content going forward.

How frightfully grown-up of you all. Good decision. Gutted to see the end of the channel, but totally respect how hard it is to generate the content and the commitment in time vs gain. I'm fairly new to actually rolling up my sleeves and crafting stuff but have been avidly following you for years. The hobby has certainly given me a creative outlet that has certainly improved my own mental health, so the irony of you guys having to make this decision to pack it in is not lost on me. Take care and thanks for all the inspiration. I don't usually make posts but this actually means something to me and my 3 kids. "Love, love, love!", all the best.

Big, difficult decision, but respect to you both for making it and putting your mental health and creativity first. Lovely to see you both still laughing and being mates though!

Subscribed. Good luck guys. Hopefully you can get together again in the future.

Big respect for you both, didn't know Josh had a channel, new subscriber here

Good luck for the future to both of you

shit, that sux! hope You guys do some stuff together anyway, you two have this amazing chemistry it's so nice to watch. sad day on the tubes

Josh you need to start your videos with slow mo scenes with a fan blowing your hair in all its glory! Miss you both together fucking off :D

I hope this doesn't mean the 6mm vids are done. I was looking forward to seeing how you approach painting the historics and doing terrain for them. I'm a massive fan of 6mm WW2, among other 15mm games, and was seriously looking forward to that.

Bummer. I get the reasons why, but its still a bummer. Best wishes to you both and I look forward to what you produce in the future. Cheers!

Couple of great guys....all the very best for the future 👍👍👍

You were looking kinda raggedy-arsed in the last few vids, so this is not a huge surprise. I always wondered how you ran both GGS _and_ a weekly YT channel, and now we know it was only with a great deal of stress and herculean effort. Already subbed to Josh's channel and will keep following you as well. I hope you do many collabs, and looking forward to new innovations in terrain crafting technique.

It's tough to run a business, i can't imagine running two. Hope to see plenty of Josch still

Sad to see but I hope both of you will do the odd vid together as you’re both great

I would have assumed you would just do advertising like all the other channels a simple discussion in the middle of your normal videos where you are doing what you want and just mention them in the ad spot. GL Josh with your channel.

Luke took out the Lion like an American dentist.

It is sad news but I am kind of excited to see what new products or the use of the products you will do. I kind of feel that side of the business stalled. Often I would would go to the website and loads of things would be out of stock, and the product range has stalled. We have seen new products from rival craft, GFP, army painter, AK, green stuff etc.

Understandable and sad. I will miss his luscious locks.

Such a shame. Really love the dynamic between you two.

Sad to hear this, but did something about it on Twitter so it's nice to see you're both still mates

Got nothing but respect for the pair of you. Can’t have been an easy decision to take, but it’s obvious you’ve got a strong friendship and you’re doing what’s best, even if it feels a bit shite.

Seems wrong to like a video when Im sad this couldn't keep going. Glad you are both still friend, as you can see your both top blokes.
