Apologies about the sound quality, Im getting to grips with the new microphone lol =)
How did you make those wrinkled panels you used for the containers?
@@charliebeare9752 my video is out later today and Im going LIVE in 30 minutes =)
I tried this and after melting down the plastic and rolling it out, it never fully hardened. The edges got crispy but the middle was still gewy. Do you have any suggestions? (I used both nail polish 100% acetone and just pure acetone to melt the plastic)
Even without any trimming, the panels when they're still wiggly-edged look like they'd make good ponds/puddles/etc
Yup the texture is pretty cool =)
Rumour has it, Miniature Hobbyist throws the models into a big bucket, and plays with the sprues!
Ssshhh dont tell everyone, its the models that go in the acetone lol =P
Nurgle approves and the tyranids are ok with it
He makes plastic gooo out of models... 🤫Hidra Dominatus
Considering the fact that he is able to make miniatures and terrain from the Sprues themselves this should not surprise anyone at all! 😅
I’m so glad I found this channel, you have opened up so many avenues for new ideas for me. Thank you
So this is how Biomass is processed for the hive!
That rolling pin is genius, nice too see how smooth you can make them
Yup they come out nice and flat =)
I'Z STARTIN' A WAAAAGH IN DA COMMENTS T' APPEASE GORK N' MORK FER YA, BOSS!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
WAAAAGH
Waaagh!! =)
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!
This channel is not about perfection, it’s about the pioneer spirit. Also about contributing actual steps forward in hobby crafting.
Pros: I can do it better.
Me: Because an amateur did the leg work.
*edit
5:45 So it turns out no, the pros cannot do it better. The ceiling has been reached.
Leaving a comment, also hoarding Sprues. At christmas I will get more and build orky stuff with it.
Knowing these will be Ork panels the the dips and wrinkles make for perfect imperfections and sill take weathering nicely!
making rivets that way is going to be such a time saver! can't wait to see that big stompa of yours!
Yup they are pretty cool rivetts I cant wait to use =)
Nice to see you're perfecting your skills. This is great. I've always used sprues in conversions and scenery, so I've never thrown any away. But this brings a whole new use for them. Nice work.
Thank you so much, Im just having fun seeing what can be done with sprues =)
I am in love with this technique. I watched this months ago and have saved my sprues, today I bought a jar and three small bottles of acetone for less than £10. I'm amazed at how much Ewwy Gooey Spruey Stuff I have been able to make from what I had and with such ease. I was worried about what it would be like working with, it getting in contact with skin/surfaces and of course you should take care but it is far easier to work with than I had imagined. Thanks a million buddy!
this channel needs a name change to Knibbly Knobbly Bits :-)
Haha yup =)
Shit mate, I might replicate that!
It's basically free Plasticcard
Yup go for it =)
this is actually perfect for terrain base.
Allright partner,
Lets keep rollin'
ROLLIN'
ROLLIN'
ROLLIN'
Will do =)
Dude, no. No!
This channel seems to have sprues out the ears, and the awesome ideas for using them never cease to amaze. Thanks for another sweet recommendation for our nibbly nobbly bits!
Thank you so much, yup you guys want sprue videos so Im gonna make sprue videos =)
You are incredibly talented, you see things others would miss and you're helping the rest of us out by sharing your vision. Can't thank you enough.
Thank you so much, its fun to try new things =)
As a recommendation, get some texture rollers that way you can give the panels panel weld lines
I applaud your pioneering spirit, pushing the boundaries of the hobby for sure. Great results with the final product! I might attempt this with my sprues, maybe even make wall paneling for some terrain structures.
I'm never throwing sprews away again
Algorithm comment
Thats good to hear and thank you for the comment =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist could you figure a good way out of making storm shields? Maybe with some markings within the mould or something?
You can put thick rubber bands or layers of electrical tape on a standard rolling pin to control your depth. Works for pastry as well as plastic.
Innovative and awesome! This is the result of trial and error, with many failed results and really shows you what perseverance can pull off. The mini community benefits from your effort.
Fantastic use of sprues. Really inventive and looking forward to trying this!
Oowey gooey nibbley nobbley bitz!
Need to try this out! 😁
Just a comment to help with the algorithm.
You're a good man, thank you.
Much appreciated =)
Loved this and that is a great rolling pin. Watched the live stream as much as possible, I also thank you for interacting with your subscribers whilst doing live streams. I am brand new to the channel and you answered 2-3 of my questions right off the start. Subscribed!
Thank you so much, I am loving building and streaming, its so much fun =)
No joke, this is probably your best innovation for me yet! I can’t access any styrene sheets where I live so this technique will probably work wonders for me
Hey thats awesome, Im glad to have helped =)
Where do you live if you don't mind me asking?
All the videos have been excellent, sorry I didn't get here sooner to help with the TH-cam thing.
Hey no worries, Im glad you like my videos =)
I am liking this idea. Will use this on my next ork thingy.
Cool =)
This is genius. A game changer for my ork army, thank you!
My pleasure, have fun building things =)
I love this! I used sprues for the "steel beams" in my clay terrain pieces but this is much cooler, will definitly try it.
Shared this with my hobby group, always nice to find a new approach to recycle the still good material :) thanks!
This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!! Thank you.
Mate these sprue videos are excellent, Ork mega gargant could be on the horizon using this panel idea
Thank you, I may have to make every orky vehicle =)
You’re the main reason I do as much 40k stuff as I do. Gonna have to try this one soon
Haha, awesome, keep making things =)
great way to make the most of those waste sprues! clever idea using the rolling pin to keep a consistent thickness!
Yup Im pleased how well the panels can be made the same thickness =)
This is absolutely BRILLIANT! Thanks for sharing this!

Can't wait to see what you come up with next so many new uses for old sprues
Haha thank you, Im always thinking of what can be done =)
Amazing.
As an ork player this will make my life much easier. And for making necromunda terrain to and for...well...all of it :)
Got the Tyranid christmas box coming in... lots of sprues, lovely sprues...
I love sprues lol =)
Just got the mawtribes Christmas box and the fyreslayers SC, got about 20 jars of nibbley nobbley bits :D
Wrinkles come from parchment paper. I really like this, it seem like perfect idea for making Ork vehicles and buildings.
The wrinkles are from holding the panels not the paper, the panels are perfect for building things =)
Great way of making armour plates for orky and Chaos vehicles!
Brilliant!
I knew you'd lick the problem of sprue panels.
With them being pliable like that, you could make 2mm thick... anything.
Make a wire frame and mold the sheets around the frame into cool stuff.
Yup this is a game changer and opens up so many possibilities =)
This has so much potential
This is fantastically useful, you have mmy thanks
These videos are great - its interesting to watch you refine your process :)
Thank you, I like to think I am improving all the time and having fun with it =)
A very nice idea to make moving trays for old warhammer fantasy
Good idea thanks, I will give it a try
Your videos are amazing! I need to use this for the stompa I am building. Awesome stuff.
Thank you, this will make great panels for your stompa =)
You could cover the entire panel in bog or spackle to be able to sand the panel smooth. Great video mate!
Yup that would work, Im hoping not moving the panels until they are fully hardened will work, I will be trying that soon =)
Such a fantastic idea! Total game changer!!!
It is and its so simple =)
Oh god yesss! I have a lot of these!!
You really inspired me! Am burning with ideas!
Thats awesome, have fun being creative =)
Hobby hero award goes to you, good sir.
My dude! This is one of your best ideas yet!
Thank you so much =)
This is useful as hell, might try making some junk/scrap scenery out of my old sprues now.
Yup you can easily build walls and buildings =)
Just what I needed... a reason to save more stuff 🤣
Awesome as always
Haha, get some bigger storage bins =)
Fantastic idea can’t wait to try it
Just got here, subbed, you’re a genius!
Mmmm.. now to make molds for armor and shoulder pads and stuff and use this method for converting and kitbashing for my DG army.. this would be great to add more Death Guard armor pannels and spikes to chaos vehicles and hellbrutes.. maybe even make some shields for my marines for fun
since you’re already using a roller. Have you tried using a texture roller on the panels after they’ve set a bit in the grease paper but before they’re hard? Could see some good pre-made sci-fi scraps, walls, or ruins using that instead of just the plain panel. Just a thought. Keep up the good work👍🏻
Brilliant. Thank you so much.
I have a lot of cuts in my fingers and seeing that you have as well makes me think is from forging warhammers xD
Mine was trying to unscrew the lid of the glue lol =)
Great Idea, thanks for sharing
Im glad you liked it =)
THATS SO COOL! Thank you!
Fantastic video thank you for the great content
im glad i found you
This has given me so many new ideas
Awesome =)
Very cool great for ork stuff especially be it terrain or conversions.
I agree!
This is awesome, i know what im doing this holidays
Awesome vid as always 👍
Thank you so much =)
Nibbly knobbly bits counter: 3 (You need to make counter of how many times you say nibbly knobbly bits)
I’m saving this
try using a paper shredder to grind up the sprues perhaps, worth a try, or a magic bullet blender
Get some diagonal cutters from your local hardware store. They'll last a lot longer than your hobby cutters.
So..... If I make a tank out of this, it SHOULD in theory fall well within the GW rule for events of (x) percent GW plastic, huh? Very useful!
The wrinkly panels would make for absolutely perfect nurgle bases
Yup they would 🙂
awesome video
If you don't have the measuring things for your rolling pin, I've seen a good alternative. Get a pack of playing cards (preferably not too slippy), and make two small piles; that way you can roll as thick or thin as you like!
Great vid!
DUDE, this is perfect. I wish I saw this video years ago. I always hated just throwing my sprues in the recycle.
This is inspiring and certainly a great way too recycle the plastics.
SERIOUS QUESTION :: What about smells and odors or other hazard aromas? Does the melted plastic leave a smell once you leave it in the Acetone? Certainly, the jar must get hot too with the chemical reaction?
Are there any hazards we should be made aware before we tackle this same process?
I think it'd be cool to see the kind of thing you could do forming the panels around something or into shapes before the acetone has fully evaporated
Great video! Comment for the algorithm!
Thank you =)
Amazing thank you
How about a pasta/lasagne roller? Should maybe let it dry out a little first and let it fall down onto a flat silicon sheet?
Yup Im sure that would work =)
What would be great because of the texture the panels has is to cut them into 1"-1.5" squares and make dungeon tiles for RPG gaming. The texture looks like stone. You could make and mold them to make large sets. Love the vids keep up the great work
Yes they would look great as dungeon tiles =)
good bit of info thankyou love it
Thank you so much =)
Pure Genius
A true sprue guru
Thank you so much =)
You could use a food processor to get the nibbily knobby bits!
Now Im melting the whole damn plastic from my house haha
Old plastic cd cases make good armour plates!
Yup =)
Oddly enough, the wrinkled panels would likely look better on an ork build than the smooth ones. The wrinkles make the panels look like they were crudely hammered into shape with lots of little imperfections. I might prefer the quick-peel method because of that actually, though the smooth ones would work better as universal panels.
Yup once painted it is gonna look like old bashed metal panels =)
Brilliant!
Thank you =)
This man needs to trademark ooey gooey spruey stuff. That is an excellent catch phrase
FYI; Just to see what would happen I added a sprue to the gunk and it was absorbed within minutes. I tried numerous times to roll out a sheet with the exact method stated here - the gunk gets stuck on the greasepaper every time... Any hints/ideas to make this into reality? Thanks for worthy tips/ideas, fellas.
just a bit of a tip you can often find 100% acetone at hardware stores in quarts and pints at least here in the us and they only cost 10-20$
100% acetone fingernail polish is only $1 at Dollar General in the US.
It is cheap stuff =)
Try the textured rolling pins - there are sci fi floor ones, cobblestone ones and brickstone ones for the walls - im guessing you could do entire buildings like that !
Have you tried this? I'm waiting for my roller to arrive
That's a really cool way to recycle plastic waste! I expected the panels to shrink and/or warp as the acetone evaporated. I guess they did so, but to a much lesser extent. I wonder if it would be feasible to squeeze the gooey stuff into a mold to perform a ghetto version of injection molding. That probably wouldn't work all that well. Another idea that would probably work better is to press something into the surface of the plastic sheet while it's still soft to make an impression. This could be a neat way to add texture.
As for the solvent - wouldn't getting just acetone from a hardware store be much cheaper than acetone-based nail polish remover?
