brother i have got to tell you i have broken over 22 bones collectively in both hands, i have hyper tension and ADD, so to say i have issues tends to be an understatement. but you have inspired me through your videos and Facebook posts to start me own studio. which has been a pet project for around 6 months now. just want to say thanks for showing me and others that we can work with through or around our disabilities and still enjoy this fun hobby of ours thanks a lot.
Stunning work Dave! Looked like a pretty challenging build. Loved the format. Delighted by the 'Starbug Green' of the ship - and was that the dulcet tones of Andrew Leman reading some HPL I could hear???! Legendary hobbying as ever.
Cool build! Another technique you might like is panel scribing, from the gunpla world. Basically tape and templates to guide scribing tools to add your own panel lines to plastic surfaces. Too bad about the tamiya paints over hairspray. I think they are alcohol based, not water, so I guess the reactivation properties are different. Good lesson, thanks for not editing it out. Cheers!
Love the chilled vibes of this format. The mixture of different styles of music and the video audio in the background works really well for me. As usual, the cinematography is great.
They look awesome, I love the atmosphere the lights create. The green ship kinda reminds me of Starbug from Red Dwarf...nah that's a property I'd love to see a tabletop game of.
For some reason, TH-cam switched off notifications from your channel. I've rectified that and now have this and many weeks worth of vids to catch up on. Annoying, but actually pretty cool in a way that I can binge your content. Thanks, love the channel.
love your videos MsPaints, I call them 'appointment viewing', whenever I see the notification I always look forward to sitting down and watching them. keep up the good work mate, much love.
i love these long form more vlog style videos. super chill. Great to hobby along to, like just hanging out with a mate while you both just get on with your own hobby shit
Love the Thunderbird 2 green. I would love to see more Stargrave content, curious to see what kind of rabble you'd run with...in space, and that's space the way Tim Curry said it in Command and Conquer.
It's gone 10pm on a Friday night, I'm stuck on a delayed train trying to get out of Liverpool, I won't be home until after midnight. This is exactly what I needed.
Great intro. Played a good bit of '5 Parsecs from Home' and am about to jump into 'Stargrave' or 'Space Station Zero'. Definitely have a hankering for doing a spaceship junkyard now after watching this.
Stargrave is pretty legit, but one you might also wanna try? Reality's Edge. If you need a list of 'NPC minis' that appear in the game I can compile that for you before you make the buy, just respond here and I've got you. Could also help you with Stargrave's 'required minis' if you like, I've got the main book and 2x expansions. (Could also point you in the direction to find minis that work great for them if you like)
I just want to say that people like you do nothing but add to the overall greatness of humanity. Dispite your disability you still over come and find a way to bring a light into this world. I hope some day we as a species can find a cure to ginger. Much love peace.
The green base coat made me think on the 90s style dark angels ... So much that I started to se the dropship wearing a soutane, and then I remember to take my pils 😅
The ships turned out great. The drop ship with the lighting and internal details was sweet as hell. The Buzz Lightyear toys are great for sci-fi. I have two... the "drop ship" and the Zurg fighter... and they work so well for gaming. Scale is spot on for 28mm minis. Use them in Stargrave, Space Weirdos, and Space Station Zero. Went with a hot rod red look for the fighter as well. It just looks like a sports car version of a spaceship.
Hi great movie love your work was considering making one of those into a Adaptus titanicus coffin/drop ship btw can we get a list of the music you used in this video I really loved the firefly like guitar music in the start
Love the use of those red LED's and must say I enjoy using old toys with our 40k orks to kitbash random vehicles....this one definitely gives me Starbug vibes though! Was half expecting to see The Kat in the cockpit😂 ❤🐻
@@MSPaints Last time we met I was wearing a cute little black number with peach trim and gold spangles, and although it looks like I'm wearing the same outfit today, it is in fact an entirely different cute little black number, with completely different gold spangles!
fantastic work! I do like the idea of the Armadillo just being the ubiquitous pattern that everyone has because they're rugged versatile base that can be found for cheap on the black market and modified to fit most any purpose. Really making me consider getting into Stargrave myself I was literally just typing up an ask as to what the tool was, and when I went to grab the timestamp it's right there for me already. Fuckin excellent word dude, you've outdone yourself again!
You may be interested in the Rebel Moon popcorn bucket dropships. The film tanked so they're usually on clearance for $7-15 USD. They have a weathered paintjob so they're table ready out of the box, no need for covering up the bright child-friendly colours. It's hollow with a flat bottom and removable upper 'lid' leaving the option for fun interior builds. Decent scale for 28mm stuff, looks nice. Could use a small fleet of the things if only for filling out a space port parking lot to play through, but the conversion potential looks great.
Hi, I'm a professional electronics teacher and former pc mainboard repair man. My soldering tip: use a smaller soldering tip. Yours is way to big, it transfers a killing amount of heat to your led and electronics stuff. Start with the smallest tip you can find. Way more safer for your stuff.
This on the second monitor and I thought "oh he must be watching YT in the background" then I here the dulcid Canadian tones of Camping With Steve! NOICE.
Loved this, thanks for showing the scale of the ships at the end with different minis. I've been wanting to do space ships for an Infinity board and these look setting appropriate without breaking my wallet. Also enjoyed the music throughout.
I just want to say thank you for all your videos. I got Covid in June of 2022, and have been off work due to post-viral fatigue for the last 9 weeks so far (with no end currently in sight). I haven't been able to really do any hobby in that time and it sucks. And then I found your channel. I've mainlined all your videos over the last 2-3 days, and they give me hope that I'll be able to get back into doing hobby at some point. So thank you for everything you do, from a new fan down in New Zealand
Thanks Snow! Glad you’re enjoying the videos. I hope the long COVID fades soon and you can get back into the hobby. We had it over Christmas and took forever to go, but it’s amazing once it lifts! Take care 🐸❤️
Top job. I'd been wondering about doing a spaceship as a terrain piece for 5 Parsecs From Home and the like, but I'd been expecting to have to faff around with foamcore boxes detailed with 3d printed greebling. This is like a jump start with half the work already done. Cheers.
Watching your intro I just realised I have some stuff I can use to kitbash a drop pod. Thanks for that. Now I'm wondering what the rest of the video will bring.
Very excited by this video , plus another great viewing piece - cheers Dave. I've been mulling over learning about stargrace recently so your kit customisations are well timed indeed
Great video as usual. I just picked up a couple of the purple (Zurg?) fighters. Skipped the drop ship, but wish I'd grabbed one now. Is it required for Stargrave? Or just for flavour? If needed I'll definitely go and grab one of these drop ships, as I have a copy of stargrave on its way
After watching this I kind of want to try making a dropship from one of these for myself. If I can find one somewhere, anyway! I've always been a fan of the idea of converting and customising old toys as terrain and props for games, but it's something I've yet to actually undertake doing. This is definitely an inspiration though.
Cool video and great idea. I just ordered me a few of these to make into my air ships. This is great since buzz lightyear sucked so bad that no one is buying their toy line and they are being tossed on discount shelves non stop.
I *LOVED* this video, and it's inspired me to pick up that big Zurg ship you unboxed earlier in the vid. Usually I just watch your vids, and I love and enjoy them, but this one was just so cool I had to give it a try, and am even talking a friend into stargrave as well as a result. I kinda doubt I'm gonna do any fancy electronics stuff with it, but we'll see what happens once i have the thing in hand. But I can tell you one thing, and that's that I really, really hope you make a video covering whatever you end up doing with yours. I would love to see it, and the ship has such a cool design I'm sure there will be other people who would as well.
Great video. Thanks for helping me find the bit on wire wrapping. ADHD brain got hyper fixated partway through, trying to work out what was happening with your right thumb.
Just think some adult spent ages trying to work out that design and you come along and wreck it before redefining what it is you wanted it to be. So in true Dave styling where there is a way there is a solution. Cheers Loon for sharing .
“If it works, there’ll be a link below” -- thanks Dave! This collab was loads of fun. I appreciate the effort you put into it!
Yes, the OSL looks great with terraintronics
Awesome work Dave
I swore I was subbed to you before but I am now

That was indeed the dulcet tones!

Aye! Made the choice about halfway through. Colour scheme that works!
I thought the same thing about Starbug when I was watching as well!
I think there was a tabletop RPG of Red Dwarf a while back
I was getting Thunderbird 2 vibes, but yeah, Starbug.
For some reason, TH-cam switched off notifications from your channel. I've rectified that and now have this and many weeks worth of vids to catch up on. Annoying, but actually pretty cool in a way that I can binge your content. Thanks, love the channel.
That’s unfortunate! But also not, as you say! Enjoy the binge! 🐸❤️

A lump of blue tack is great for stopping the bit you cut off from dissappearing down the carpet monster's throat!
It's gone 10pm on a Friday night, I'm stuck on a delayed train trying to get out of Liverpool, I won't be home until after midnight. This is exactly what I needed.
Hope you got home safe bud!
@@MSPaints Thanks to you I arrived in a state of perfect fucking zen, despite the best efforts of Avanti.
The dolly shots of the ship's interior were perfect. Love your builds and your camera work. Cheers for another great video
Awesome build...love it.
Awesome work dude. Big Thunderbird 2 vibes! Love it
I definitely liked the longer video! You should make a hector mini for stargrave!
So glad you did another video in this style 😁
Just for you, honey!

The green base coat made me think on the 90s style dark angels ... So much that I started to se the dropship wearing a soutane, and then I remember to take my pils 😅
I too picked up some of these on discount, this inspires me to actually get them painted up.
Best produced videos in the mini space. Really love what you did to that interior 😍👍🏻. Great work as always Dave!
Great job! They look awesome ❤ really tempted to give the electronics in scenery ago
The ships turned out great. The drop ship with the lighting and internal details was sweet as hell. The Buzz Lightyear toys are great for sci-fi.

It does! And a bit of panel lining is all they need to pop the detail! Really nicely made toys!
Love the infinity miniatures.
Ok, a trip to Wally's is on the agenda. Great video! I am inspired.
Epic video. Nice work dude👌
Holy shit! You're watching Camping with Steve whilst modelling! Yes bro! What a legend he is! Great video too mate, quality always on point.
You outdid yourself, again, dude. Great customization going on here.
Thanks mate!
Definitely wanna see more stargrave. Love what looks like the crocodile or alligator
Loved this video. I’ve also bought far too many of these ships. Hungry to see more Stargrave stuff!
MS Soldering 😲 Dave enjoy's a challenge, eh?
I like the Thunderbird 2 green paint job
The videography, audio and music are all top notch, as usual.
Thanks Euan!
Great video mate turned out great 👍🏻
Hi great movie love your work was considering making one of those into a Adaptus titanicus coffin/drop ship btw can we get a list of the music you used in this video I really loved the firefly like guitar music in the start
i love how in green it looks like a thunderbird

I was literally just typing up an ask as to what the tool was, and when I went to grab the timestamp it's right there for me already. Fuckin excellent word dude, you've outdone yourself again!
Absolutely! The nibbler! Spent hours searching but there it is! Not a very common tool but cheap enough to add to the arsenal!
That drop shop in “star bug” green is chefs kiss 🫡
MS_Paints never disappoints, such a well made, fun video. Always look forward to your content.
Absolutely loving the Firefly vibe here - a guy working on his dropship. The background music, that bit of sand on the table, 10/10! ^_^
I wish I had time to do more of this stuff. It's TOO much fun! I saved all the cool toys from the boys rooms before they moved away.
Normally I'm a traditionalist but that is one Hell of a gritty reboot of Thunderbird 2.
Loved everything about this. A great build and that music filled me with a nostalgic 80's Sci-Fi vibe!
I feel like the dropship is 100% leagues of Votann. The curves and the overall design are so much inline with the vehicles they currently have.
I love what you were listening to in the background. I watch that channel a lot
What a great project 😮 Tha ks for sharing! ❤
Good video. Thanks, and keep up the good work!!!
Utterly fantastic. I bet those ships are cleared off the shelves now.
Was slim pickings when I last went into the toy shop!

Lovely conversion and beautifully filmed as ever
Listening to camping with Steve in the background. True chad accompanying background sound for hobbying👍.

Nice to see every one getting into the buzz lightyear toys that dont sell repainted one of those purple zurg ships for stargrave.
I needed the relaxation at work today
I just want to say thank you for all your videos. I got Covid in June of 2022, and have been off work due to post-viral fatigue for the last 9 weeks so far (with no end currently in sight).

Nice! I've had my eye on these toys for a while. They have some ground vehicles in the range too.
I used a lot of similar methods on my x-wing for Legion. I really like how your weathering looks, might have to revisit my model and update it.
Enjoying having these on while i do some hobbying myself, this and the titan in a day video! Good stuff
Great video dude. You nailed it, loved the music choices too
Cheeeeers!
Great stuff! The green makes it look more like Thunderbird 2.
Watching your intro I just realised I have some stuff I can use to kitbash a drop pod. Thanks for that.
Now I'm wondering what the rest of the video will bring.
Nice video. The paintjob is looking good.
Very excited by this video , plus another great viewing piece - cheers Dave. I've been mulling over learning about stargrace recently so your kit customisations are well timed indeed
Worth checking out 52 Miniatures video on it! Enjoy.
With wings it would kind of look like dropship from Spaceship Troopers.
"Come on apes, do you want to live forever?!"
*starship troopers.
Thoroughly enjoying the copious usage of the Black Lagoon chill soundtrack in the background.
The Hyperspeed line also has some cool carts and some bulky space trucks that are fantastic for Stargrave.
This was an AWESOME episode...... wish there were more like this
Nice one MS Paints, always love watching your videos! 😀
Thank you!
Great video, very inspiring. Makes me wish I had bought all the Star Wars Revell kits back when they were going for cheap.
Fantastic video Dave! Such creativity and really inspired me to something like this!👍🏻
Awesome work, these look sick and the big one has a bit of a star bug vibe. Also I guess I’m not the only one who hobbies to camping with steve😂
I have him on repeat whenever I’m doing this kinda thing haha
Epic! Now I need one of those Armadillo's to make a diorama with.
Cracking video Dave. Love the Dropship details and the lights etc worked really well.
Thanks James!
this is awesome, love when you do this sort of thing! that said, look at mantic games for Hornets, very affordable and excellent models
Thanks for the tip, I’ll go check em out!
I work for the entertainer and have been eyeing this stuff up for ages trying to mentally work out what to do with them 😀
Am I the only one who noticed that Atlantis OST? Such a classic, You, good sir, are a man of culture I can see.
Ooooooh yeah baybay! Love me some Atlantis
I absolutely love you approach to making these videos mate! & I steal as much as I can 🤣
Steal away! Steal more! 🐸🐸
Great video, awesome sponsor and speedy recovery Tony!!!
Ace! We have been looking for some things to spice up our boarding action terrain - i like the idea of reinforcements coming in
oh yes! love thease kinds of videos 😊
Great video as usual. I just picked up a couple of the purple (Zurg?) fighters. Skipped the drop ship, but wish I'd grabbed one now. Is it required for Stargrave? Or just for flavour? If needed I'll definitely go and grab one of these drop ships, as I have a copy of stargrave on its way
Just for flavour! I think it’ll just become terrain at the deployment zone. There’s rules for motherships though!
@@MSPaints In that case I might skip it and buy an stl for Mandalorian's Razor Crest. Had my eye on it for a while, this is the perfect excuse.
After watching this I kind of want to try making a dropship from one of these for myself. If I can find one somewhere, anyway!
I've always been a fan of the idea of converting and customising old toys as terrain and props for games, but it's something I've yet to actually undertake doing. This is definitely an inspiration though.
Dave you're too funny man. Love it
This was so good! Great skills with the intro too guys!
Chaaaaaaars!
Cool video and great idea. I just ordered me a few of these to make into my air ships. This is great since buzz lightyear sucked so bad that no one is buying their toy line and they are being tossed on discount shelves non stop.
Space ship goes PEW PEW
i just bought this little armadillo toy an hour ago at a clearence store to do this then i get home and this is the first vid i see!
I’m here for you! Hahaha
Gotta comment for the kickass choices of OST you put in the background of your vids, especially that track from Baroque!
Always happy when someone with good ears comes along and hears the good stuff!
I *LOVED* this video, and it's inspired me to pick up that big Zurg ship you unboxed earlier in the vid. Usually I just watch your vids, and I love and enjoy them, but this one was just so cool I had to give it a try, and am even talking a friend into stargrave as well as a result.

Great video. Thanks for helping me find the bit on wire wrapping. ADHD brain got hyper fixated partway through, trying to work out what was happening with your right thumb.
That the heavily taped thumb? Haha
@@MSPaints yep! I figured it could either be preventative or too late for prevention 😊
Looking amazing as always! Thunderbird 2 vibes are screaming on this one !
Great stuff. Loved the soundtrack pairing with everything.
Simply awesome 👌
Thanks for another great video, interesting and informative. The deep dive in to you fab collection continues 🤩
