Hi Bill. The backstory you did was absolutely beautiful. It's a shame it wasn't longer, but I understand in the grand scheme of things it was only a small part of this video. You put so much into your productions it really is breathtaking. I really do think that this is definitely your best work so far. I love the use of the cable conduits for musculature. The subtlety of the lighting really works too. If you ever need a break from sculpting, PLEASE consider doing more world building and story crafting. I could watch that for hours. Your art style is perfect. It makes me think of 1970s hand animated fantasy work like The Fantastic Planet, The Point and stuff like Heavy Metal. So, to answer your question, yes please, more like this. It's well worth the wait, providing you want to do it. It's a lot of work!
After watching this and Studson's moving castle I now have my own plans to build a behemoth robot...granted it's going to be more squat and fatter than yours as I'm basing it off of the Destroid Monster from Macross and scaled (1/35 specifically) to go with my Brigador themed Maschinen Kreiger model kits.
He's so soft-spoken and quiet that I have to turn my volume all the way up; when YT goes to an ad at full volume, I about have a stroke. I haven't felt this alive since watching network television in the 1990s. Bill is the Bob Ross of makin' stuff.
Amazing build as always! My dog's ears lifted up at the squeaking on the "scratch building: building from scratch transition"- clearly there's more than one BillMakingStuff fan in the house!
I couldn’t love this any more bill. The production value of the video is exceptional, the sculpt is simply stunning and your presentation is wonderfully humorous. This goes to show what can happen when an innate talent gets the chance to flourish. I also must point out that at the time of typing this you have 555 likes and no dislikes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that ratio before.
As an animator, the fact that you basically created an animatic to go along with the titan's origin story is very awesome! Eager to continue my Bill-Binge of your entire video catalogue until I'm all caught up.
I definitely relate to making a build so big I can’t store it anywhere! As a huge fan of ghibli movies, I’m currently working on my second howls castle (the first broke), and it’s about three long and two and a half tall. No shelf in my house will hold it😅😂 for all the planning I did on the build, I overlooked that very important detail
That naturally weaving in and out effect that you pulled off flawlessly with all the wiring and mechanical parts is what really proves your expertise in this craft, simply mind bogglingly amazing attention to detail. That is the kind of dedication that makes an artwork truly timeless and special
Top quality build! I love the editing. The story part was an excellent addition! I hope you include them whenever you feel inspired to make them- my kid loved it too. The quick resin lens tutorial was just what I needed to solve a little issue I’d been pondering for a while- so thanks!!
Great build bill! The story telling is a unique addition, definitely keep it. Would love to see this character pop up again in future stories as you flesh out the world too
That build is truly impressive. The moss really adds a nice pop of color and variation in texture. I could see a bonsai tree growing on this guy. I also love the story building and how you turned a technical difficulty into more content. I also don't mind you leaving the basing out, you already covered that in another video so...yeah. Keep it up.
I am absolutely floored by this build, this story, the animation, all of it! This build is nothing short of inspiring. Bill, you're a wonder, never stop making stuff.
“Life is a Greebley” - Greg Greebley really was ahead of its time. 106 Mantras of the Greeble really changed my outlook on crafting. Mantra 63: see the world as a crafter. A priceless treasure can be found in trash, and actual treasures can be turned into a crab. Nothing is more believable as gemstones than actual gemstones! Really stuck with me, that one.
Wow. I haven’t been this elated with a channel find in literally years. You are an amazing and singular dude, Bill. Im going to be up all night watching your entire catalog and finishing up my spaceship made of a cigar tube, nail file packaging, broken Christmas ornament and the cap from some cumin.
I really enjoyed this! The storytelling was great and really adds something extra special to the finished bot :D I also love all the organic shapes and details, great job as always!
This is incredible. The build itself is awesome but the background along with the animation is what makes it, for me. I would love to see more of the lore and setting of your creations fleshed out with these animations. I love the sketchy style so much!
I really like the idea of having world building to the point where someday this could actually be a robot based tabletop game. after all if you don't play a game with them there's no point in doing all that stupid measuring to make them to scale.
Great structure! Such a lovely titan! I studied a fair bit of structural engineering for my environmental engineering degree. What you did with the wires is basically what makes concrete strong against shaking and bending and falling apart. For large structures like a house or a bridge the to scale equivalent is steel in cabkes, or a steel mat from cables. And concrete instead of the glue. Pretty neat!
People, go through the sketch book frame by frame (1:23 to 1:29). It's gold. I can't wait to see things like Spaghetti Steve and the Flowerhorn. Loved the storytelling bit. Yes, more please! Also, Bill, please do an "I have no respect for your time" shirt.
Awesome build. Enjoyed the storytelling. It helped contextualize the choices you made along the way (like rust and moss). Beautifully entertaining video even beyond the build itself. Thanks :)
The world-building/lore was fun and certainly the build. I was intimidated thinking of how I would begin covering up the skeleton, but using a bunch of conduit wire was a great way to make the process simpler while still looking intricate.
I’m in LOVE with the woven cables technique. Holy crap is that clever and looks amazing. Also I’ve never seen anyone use that much epoxy glue on a thing.
Absolutely a great build. Loved it all. Length of the video is no issue. Very inspirational 👏👏👏👏 Suggestion might be to use some more ‘natural’ materials as opposed to plastic, although I’ve seen you’ve quite a collection and the pound shop is all about plastic stuff
Thanks for the time put in to this one Bill. Lovely Titan. I really liked the story and animation in the intro (and the rubbing cloth over microphone for sound effects?).
I have to say, being a Patreon definitely helped me tonight. I got to see the video before I went for my works team meal and then got to watch it again when I came home drunk and give it a 'thumbs up' ... result in my books! Cracking build Bill and well worth the wait, cos like it took forever ;P Seriously very nice and well worth the wait, it's a real beast and the story / animation was brilliant (edited to remove the spoiler.)
Bloody amazing, idk if it's intentional but I love how some of the details look like muscles. I'd like to imagine that those tubes poking out of it are for venting heat but when it wants to attack, it can store the heat then pressurize it and shoot it out as lazers through the tubes.
When I think of inspirational people, I think of Bill. To take ordinary items and turn it into a one-of-a-kind piece of art is such an amazing skill. It would be hard to put a price on these items.
This was wonderful, I love all of the various 'stringy' materials with different thicknesses, they all come together so well! And the textures are really great too, the corrugated part of the conduit cord was a perfect base. Would love to see you do some more big builds once in a while if you're inspired to, this one turned out amazing!
What a great build! My first video I've seen of yours and what an impression it makes. The care and talent is very evident in this video and model. The whole thing is so creative and it turned out stunning. The moss is a particularly interesting and amazing part of the build as it adds so much to it. Keep up the great work, I love to see it!
Outstanding build sir Bill, I loved it!! Please more of the larger builds and the backstory was a real nice touch, plesse include more of that as well. Thanks for sharing. Keep on keeping on!
Been a viewer for a while. This one drove me to subscribe. Enjoyed everything about it. As someone who's viewing diet is about 50% youtube crafters, I can say I've enjoyed this build as much as any I've seen. Loved the way you approached the story. Pacing was spot on. Perfect vid to go with my Sunday morning coffee. Thanks for putting this together.
yeah, I REALLY like this guy, to scale he's scarily huge and I can imagine him clunking and ponderously moving around the scrap planet looking for his little buddy
Fantastic! Please do more story time, in fact, just make a whole animation that goes into the background of your junk planet. World building is the best.

Hello, found my way here after running out of Dan Does videos. This looks ace!

Amazing build Bill, reminiscent of Ghibili. Yes to more story and big builds!
My absolute favorite build I've seen thus far!
Story AND an awesome build?!
You spoil us Bill 😍
Great Build!
24:00 This must have the same feeling when your grandma wants to hang up a drawing. It feels great!
I loved the story line part at the beginning. Great build. It looks freakishly real.
Really awesome Bill, I enjoy seeing your rusty machine world come together!
Excellent build Bill! Turned out incredible
Awesome build Bill, great video, loved the back story - definitely more of that please!
That naturally weaving in and out effect that you pulled off flawlessly with all the wiring and mechanical parts is what really proves your expertise in this craft, simply mind bogglingly amazing attention to detail. That is the kind of dedication that makes an artwork truly timeless and special
I really enjoyed this one, the larger size means more room for detail. Great stuff Bill!
I love the detail of the moss being mainly on the top of the robot
Unreal build Bill.Using the combs to make rivets in the Eva was genius.
Structural Engineer here. I use a lot of wire and epoxy resin when building my bridges and hospitals. Nailed it!
Top quality build! I love the editing. The story part was an excellent addition! I hope you include them whenever you feel inspired to make them- my kid loved it too.
The quick resin lens tutorial was just what I needed to solve a little issue I’d been pondering for a while- so thanks!!
Loved the story building
Great build bill! The story telling is a unique addition, definitely keep it. Would love to see this character pop up again in future stories as you flesh out the world too
Love the strong telling and world building!
That build is truly impressive. The moss really adds a nice pop of color and variation in texture. I could see a bonsai tree growing on this guy. I also love the story building and how you turned a technical difficulty into more content. I also don't mind you leaving the basing out, you already covered that in another video so...yeah.

You are a master narrator and creator. Please, show us the titan in it's living room habitat ;)
The production value on the piece and the video is just out of this world. Amazing.
I can not get enough of the way you speak, it's so calming
You put so much work in your videos. Not just the build, but the music, stop motion segments, editing, lighting... truly inspiring!
Thanks for noticing
I am absolutely floored by this build, this story, the animation, all of it! This build is nothing short of inspiring. Bill, you're a wonder, never stop making stuff.
Awesome story and a beast of a build. Really enjoyed this one Bill. 🤖👍
One of the best yet! Scary!!
“Life is a Greebley” - Greg Greebley really was ahead of its time.
106 Mantras of the Greeble really changed my outlook on crafting.
Mantra 63: see the world as a crafter. A priceless treasure can be found in trash, and actual treasures can be turned into a crab. Nothing is more believable as gemstones than actual gemstones!
Really stuck with me, that one.
I know there are a lot of sceptics out there. But for a crafter, the path of the Greeble is and has always been the only path to revelation.
This was all great! That final build is AMAZING!
You have outdone yourself. What a magnificent build!
The storytelling was a very cool touch!
This and Studson's Howl's moving castle video are by far my favorite craft videos on youtube.
Wow. I haven’t been this elated with a channel find in literally years. You are an amazing and singular dude, Bill. Im going to be up all night watching your entire catalog and finishing up my spaceship made of a cigar tube, nail file packaging, broken Christmas ornament and the cap from some cumin.
Welcome aboard!
I love the backstory of the scrap Titan Bill. It certainly lives up to its name. I thought making a dracolich with a 4-inch base was big.
I really enjoyed this! The storytelling was great and really adds something extra special to the finished bot :D I also love all the organic shapes and details, great job as always!
This is incredible. The build itself is awesome but the background along with the animation is what makes it, for me. I would love to see more of the lore and setting of your creations fleshed out with these animations. I love the sketchy style so much!
Even just the drawing at the start was amazing. Exceptional work buddy!

Yes, we need more story time!

Great build and an even more amazing video of the process
Absolutely a great build. Loved it all. Length of the video is no issue. Very inspirational 👏👏👏👏
Suggestion might be to use some more ‘natural’ materials as opposed to plastic, although I’ve seen you’ve quite a collection and the pound shop is all about plastic stuff
Rewatch this this one often. Love the story telling short at the beginning
Seriously bill we need a tour of that art book, there’s so much inspiration material in it
It looks great Bill! I really like your style and this is no different. Great job!
This build is fantastic. I loved the story and the sketch book work. Great video!
Thanks for the time put in to this one Bill. Lovely Titan. I really liked the story and animation in the intro (and the rubbing cloth over microphone for sound effects?).
Maybe... glad you liked it

That is one epic build, Mr Bill. Wow. I can't wait to see what's next.
Gadsden! Is frigging huge! Love it!

This is excellent in every way.
A Scrap Titan from the Scrapbashing Titan. You raise the bar with every episode, Bill. Thanks for such gigantic content.
The build is good
I really liked the story part, hope to see more of that. Great job bill!
Absolutely beautiful creation. Keep it up. 🙂

That story was so awesome! This build is so frickin cool!!! I'm definitely using conduit wire and the moss glue concoction for my next build 🤩
The world building was awesome!
Such a beautiful creation!
Great build. I did enjoy the story of how the bot came to be.
Glad to hear it!
I’m not a Dad but I am a Mom and I love your channel and humor. Inspires me to think out of the box when I’m making stuff. Thanks.

Love it Bill! It turned out so nicely and the story bit was brilliant 🤩
Thanks, Bill now I want to collect juke and build stuff.
Awesome work Bill, that's the Godzilla of scratch built bots.
So many tubes and hoses on that thing. H.R Geiger would be proud 😎
Loved everything about this build. Gloriously Gargantuan 🥰
suggestion years late. Try a wood drill bit for plastics, has a cutter on the outter edge to prevent burring. love the build
This was awesome, love your world building ideas.
yeah, I REALLY like this guy, to scale he's scarily huge and I can imagine him clunking and ponderously moving around the scrap planet looking for his little buddy
Fantastic! Please do more story time, in fact, just make a whole animation that goes into the background of your junk planet. World building is the best.
What a build! It turned out amazing! Also, really dig the story part, it adds something really nice to the video imo. Cheers!
