    Bill I have to say that even if you think those models took forever to make and paint they turned out so well it's absolutely worth it. They're fantastic little pieces of Art and I think you're a fantastic painter when you actually put in the effort to do it.

    • @IllustratorJones
      @IllustratorJones ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeh, I totally agree. Your painting skills are brilliant. It takes me ages to paint a figure.

    • @Bluecho4

      Agreed. Bill really knocked it out of the park with these models. Both kitbashing and painting.

    If your Stargrave band has ten minis, then it sounds like we need a part 2 and a part 3 as you work your way through the remaining six!

    Every time you say "The build" I can't help hearing "The Billd", which is such a terrible pun that I take self-inflicted psychic damage.
    I enjoy everything you make. Be it a lino cut, bead bot, kit bashing, or even crustard.

    If you want to fix the weight issue, just glue a metal washer to the bottom of the base. It puts more weight on the bottom and it allows for you to store them in a magnetized storage box if you want also

    Any day with a new Bill Making Stuff video is a good day! I love the story of Respite, and it's really cool how it's all coming together. A diorama of the people of respite fighting the Rusters would be pretty cool at some point.

  • @Joooooooooe11
    @Joooooooooe11 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    For someone who disparages painting so much and is somewhat self deprecating about it, you are a damn good mini painter. The contrast you manage to get out of your shadows and highlights looks awesome. These turned out great both from a conversion viewpoint as well as painting

  • @magnusmillerwilson
    @magnusmillerwilson ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Your Mr. Mayor design reminds me of a cross between ex Imperial Guard (40K), but with more of a train engineer vibe. Maybe the old guy from the original Mary Poppins, too. I love your designs and sketches. You’re so skilled!

  • @DragonBoi3789
    @DragonBoi3789 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    An idea I just had. Since Respite and this whole planet is a giant desert junk heap, it seems like someone who owns a dedicated wash house would be a somewhat necessary service for the town. Specifically Mr. Mayor so he can look after his heirloom military gear, but others as well for appearance and general maintaining of their stuff so it doesn't disintegrate nearly as fast. Maybe this wash house would primarily work with air blasting or 'dry cleaning' as a practical means to get the dust out the cracks. But maybe there's also a special wash room with clean water reserved for higher paying customers. Maybe even a bath house of sorts? And there could even be an acid bath as well to clean up the rust from any metal bits people in town need cleaned for whatever reason.
    Just a thought, take it if you like.

    I remember the first time I tried kitbashing. I was really young, eight or nine maybe. I used to hang out at my local warhammar store with the owner and his friends, so I accumulated a little pile of everything they didn’t want and I’d make ridiculous creatures out of it.

  • @phm6834
    @phm6834 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Super awesome! Its impressive how your designs are somewhere between fallout, borderlands, warhammer, generic steampunk and weird west... but still unique. Not too toony, not too grimdark, just right amount of weirdness. In case you ever want to have someone create 3d models of your scribbles to either 3d print or manufacture, Id really love to help out, since Im 3D artist and such...

  • @TheAquaYoshiDingbat

    Definitely glad you decided to build some minis that needed more serious painting, otherwise we never would have found out that Rusters *cook people's limbs just to chew up the meat and spit it out as a form of physical and psychological torture.* Which is one of the darkest things I have ever heard in my life... 😳
    Also I love how the Landy has never even heard of leg day... Lol

    4hours - deluxe table top standard (PC for DnD)
    10+ hours - showcase standard

    I always love the way the bits look a little off at first, but then you prime them, and then it pulls the entire thing together! Awesome! Mr. Mayor's my favourite.

    Hi Bill! I just wanted to say I LOVE your videos! I actually just stumbled across "How To Make Scatter Terrain With Trash", but I'm leaving a comment here because I think it's more likely you'd see it. Most often I come to hobby videos to learn new techniques and get ideas, but I appreciate how you make your videos and the style so much. Never had I thought I would be considering the CINEMATOGRAPHY of a hobbying youtube video?? Your personality and sense of humor is enjoyable, the shots are engaging, the editing and music selection are superb, but most of all these are FUN to watch--all while I'm learning new techniques. Like I'm blown away man. I am confident I could show your videos to friends who have no interest in our hobbying and they would be engaged.
    Apologies, if its a bit much to leave this type of comment. Just wanted to say the obvious level of passion and creativity that goes into your videos is inspiring, both for my hobbying, but also for other creative works I'll do. Hell, I hadn't even got halfway through that video and I had to come drop a comment hahaha. Very looking forward to going through your videos and learning while having fun!
    Well anyway, have a great day if you see this man!
