    Minute and a half into the vid and I'm already liking just for the packaging waste rant!

      I've been doing this with various packaging. the big ones come in a front-opening container I've turned into a giant cloning vat

    The end bit with the cute critters emerging from the slimy alien eggs is just so perfect.

      All garbage is useful in terrain making, you know how many weird sci-fi buildings I have made off just the plastic weird shaped packaging toys come in?

      can you make this with normal eggs

    I hope this recycling concept continues on your channel, its extremely enjoyable to watch and really gets the brain working to see what I could build at home out of trash

    you should consider a whole series of just turning alien/monster stuff out with trash packaging and old toys... very well done, good sir, I hope your channel lasts forever!

  • @dougsundseth6904
    @dougsundseth6904 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One of your best videos, I think. The inclusion of the problems you ran into and the errors you made and how you fixed them and the reasoning behind some of the decisions you made is really helpful.
    And the result is excellent.

  • @rebeccamccartin
    @rebeccamccartin 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Love that you even repurposed the packaging as a mixing tray

  • @peoplecallmepeechez
    @peoplecallmepeechez 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like these vids where you start with an object and create your idea from that, instead of just coming straight into the video with an idea. It really has you making some interesting things that I wouldn't even think of

  • @Garfunkels_Funky_Uncle
    @Garfunkels_Funky_Uncle 4 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    the paint job in the thumbnail had me fooled, I thought you used a real eggshell! if you get more of those eggs, could you try making a next of hatched dragon eggs with a baby dragon coming out of one of them?!

  • @yamashbell586
    @yamashbell586 4 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    sometimes i get really exited about something and just make an impulse buy and after some time i regret them...

    I like the way that you use the plastic wrapping to mix the scultpa-mold.

  • @alexanderk.9032

    This really gets my creative juices flowing. In my mind, these are incubation chambers from a civilisation from underground, disturbed by a mining town's activities. Workers get lost in the deep and it's up to the players to uncover the truth about what happened-> the workers getting lured into the deep, abducted and swallowed by the brood mother who traps them into egg like cocoon incubation chambers, where they get turned into half-human slaves for the hive. And it suddenly dawns on the heroes, what or rather who they have been killing on their way down...
    (If anybody wants to, feel free to use this, lol)

    @ModerateHipster 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Looks awesome! One airbrushing tip: you can use silly putty as a mask for odd forms, like your umbilical cords there. Though, going back and touching up is a great option too.

  • @latank871
    @latank871 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome! The plastic trays inside of packages of cookies have interesting shapes. Plastic that holds strawberries and blueberries.

  • @damienhill3262
    @damienhill3262 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I absolutely love it! The idea to use kids left over toys and household items to make such cool alien/monster eggs is genius! I am so glad I found your channel and subscribed.

    Really gorgeous! Great for any aliens skirmish game.

  • @GoobertownHobbies

    Whoa, this was awesome! Those eggshells turned out great, and that lime green is one of my all-time favorite colors, these are great. Time to go buy some more eggs!!!

  • @mikepeters8132

  • @tabletopbastler1288

  • @kristofbarta2964
    @kristofbarta2964 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is a very cool project. The concept of using waste is great and the outcome is just so nice. The cord is a nice touch, very gross.

  • @madnessbydesignVria
    @madnessbydesignVria 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm a huge believer in what I call "garbage crafting". Most of us start with taking old containers, broken pieces, and things that sane people throw away, and making something fun and amusing out of them - as our loved ones shake their heads and wonder how they put up with us... :)

  • @gpgordon12
    @gpgordon12 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I reuse the thin cardboard from small packaging to make wood boards and internal framework. I also use the plastic blister pack for casting silicone molds in.

  • @ezriedash6633
    @ezriedash6633 4 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @marshallsonsteby3862
    @marshallsonsteby3862 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for including the Hatchimals at the end. That made my day!
    My kids are obsessed with those Quarter Machines (if they're still around), you get that plastic bulb with the cap and then usually some small toy inside that immediately gets lost on the car ride home.

  • @udorechner6846

    Something I made for scatter terrain is fence pieces. I get a lot of mileage out of it. Some provide cover while others are a hindrance to movement. Popping a few alongside a road in or out of town help define the road and add a little touch to what would be an open or wooded area.

  • @samuelbroad11
    @samuelbroad11 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    airbrush perseverance and re-spraying, totally feel ya there man. Every 'mistake' is a new tool or effect for your creative tool box. One perfect technique for this is what I call Curdling. With a base coat colour, apply a small amount of medium or glaze by brush onto the area you want focused on, then with an airbrush medium mixed at least 50/50 with another colour airbrush over until it is saturated. The surface will pool and run: OK for slimy things. then bring in another second airbrush medium 50/50 mix with a 2nd colour, spray this over again, the colours will separate or curdle in an organic creepy way. Leave to dry thoroughly, no touchy. the trick with the initial medium placement by brush is to focus the effect, you'll get overspray with the other airbrushed mixes which is all good. I've done this by hurrying airbrush mixes too quickly and learnt a new trick. Sometimes the over-paint layers go deep as! 10/10 for showing mistakes and processes, so important, thanks.

    I just so truly admire your talent. Am a first time watcher and subscribed straight away. I love the effort of using art to help with the cleanup of mother gaia, grabbing material before composting is commendable. Love the end look, so much inspiration.. Thank you.

      Oh I don't know... Did you see that episode of Doctor Who with Victorian-era British troops fighting Ice Warriors on Mars? Historical soldiers in nice red uniforms versus alien monstrosities. That sounds like a fun game.

    It would be amazing to have a bunch of those to set up down in the Underdark. Let the adventurers walk through a field of those and see what comes out of them when one of the players bumps into one! It would be like in Aliens with Ripley walking through the Alien egg farm. Hella cool!
