Games Workshop has made money hand over fist doing this, it's why they grew so rapidly from the covid bump in recent years. Their only problem was marketing, or why they didn't grow faster.
If you want crazy town for gluing... snag a bottle of the quick setting. Literally hold the pieces together, tap with the brush hold for like 2 seconds, boom, done. Great stuff. Thanks for the video, so cool to see it all made. Though now I'm curious about this Dystopian Wars 😂
Absolutely marvellous video. Insight into processes like this in the industry are so interesting and important, I think, for appreciating all the hard work that goes into the models we complain about being too expensive. Thanks Dave!
I'm really enjoying this series, it's so interesting with behind the scenes content of our hobby industry! Can't wait to see the next part with resin casting! 🤩
Pro modelling tip: when you run out and go to refill your Tamiya Extra Thin glue, don't. Save the glass bottle and buy the 750ml bottle of "Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner", it's the same stuff for the same price (you can google that or check the MSDS for yourself, same stuff), but you get 750ml instead of 40ml. Old secret-not-so-secret modeller's trick. Plus you can clean your airbrush if you have one. It's a good idea to buy the actual glue the first time tho, since it has that handy bottle with the brush in the lid.
Real nice video, always fun to see behind the curtain. Good to hear you're a Tamiya Extra Thin convert. It makes me feel like I know what I'm doing when I assemble even tricky kits! It's great to work with neat and using it to make Spru Goo is another tool for the kit bashing arsenal.
Daz is right about the DW models and their scale. You can go into some insane detailing and texturing on them if you want... but even if you want to keep things nice and simple, they'll still look great!
After all these years, I finally get to see how the sausage is made. Bravo, fantastic video, I can't convey how interesting and entertaining I found this.
Extremely interesting! And it certainly helps explain why our hobby is so expensive. All that labor and it all needs to be covered by a small audience.
Another great video and a very insightful look at stuff that most hobbyists don't think about. Played dystopian wars when it first came out and really enjoyed it. Might need to give it another go
Superb video pal. From content to production. I really wish my gang would revisit Dystopian Wars. The setting and the minis are amazing and your paintjob did them justice. Thanks for sharing.
Super intersting video. I love how their sprues can stack, I wish GW would do that. So tempted to try dystopian wars out. The ship designs are fantastic
This vid should go viral. I'm so tired of all the complainers. The little whiners. All over "well well, why not? Why can't they? It's not fair! They prices the prices". Just think, once an industry figures out this is a lucrative income, they raise the prices. And THEY have workers, they want paid for working in the warehouse. And it all goes on and on. Prices go up people. Anyways, love the video. ❤
Amazing video!!! Thanks so much for making this - was litterally thinking the other day i wonder how plastic sprues are made. The part with the steel plated machine ramming together, separating and then out popped a perfect sprue was like magic! Agreed, wayland games are just amazing - how can you beat best prices, great customer service and free delivery over £20?! Note - hoping they always keep that free delivery over £20 - that's their competitive edge imho.
It seems so weird that I'm only seeing a video documentary like this now about the wargaming miniature casting process for plastics. Now I think about it I'm pretty sure I've never seen a video like this about the lead or tin minis casting process. 😊🤔😮
Fanuc robodrill is a good machine tool for small mold making. I am surprised you guys have not invested in a Matsuura Lumex for faster and more precise mold making.
Didn't know Wayland makes their own stuff, I used to order from them before Brexit and having to pay extra VAT and import fees. Well, I only buy vintage models nowadays anyway. Cool video, thanks!
No mention of polishers?? All plastic injection moulds for miniatures will have a polisher work on the surface imperfections left by the CnC machines. I used to do it for GW.
Cool video, except for the stupid talking pupet sections, not a fan of these, maybe I just don't get your sense of humour.
What puppet? You got a time code?
I might have watched a different video, but no puppets on the one I watched either!? Are puppets a reoccurring element in these videos 🤔
@@alexknott1696 nah, king. We’ve got Peachy coming on soon and he’s a muppet. But that’s it.
The guy doing the 3D design was a puppet? Who knew?
I don’t mind the puppet
If Wayland can manufacture this amount of sprues every day, I'd love to see the size of GW's manufacturing capabilities!
Games Workshop has made money hand over fist doing this, it's why they grew so rapidly from the covid bump in recent years. Their only problem was marketing, or why they didn't grow faster.
I did not know that Wayland/Warcradle have in-house injection moulding, that was an interesting tour, thanks!
I didn’t expect to find that either! We just went to shoot resin manufacture!
Just when I thought I couldn’t like Wayland games any more than I already do, Dave goes and drops this!
This channel brings me so much joy, you have no idea
That’s what I’m here for! Thanks for watching bubba!
This might be my favorite of your videos yet. Thanks for showing us how our toys are made.
Knocked it out of the park with this one. Can see a bright future ahead for Dickensian Wars
I eagerly await my order of Wayland frozen eats and resin treats. Grand video, Sir. Grand.
Frozen vegan resin!

These guys are killing it!! I don’t have friends and these guys got themselves SUPER BEST friends!!
Daz's wisdom stays with you for decades :)
Love it. Especially the shared joy during the filming of the Tony skits
Those board room guys couldn’t look happier!
@@MSPaints 😂
Those ships look great, I just got hold of one of the starter sets today, look forward to putting it together and playing with them.
I used to play Dystopian wars back in the day. Very cool to see this!

Great to have more of your content back have missed your videos
What a refreshing change of vid . Been a hobbyist 49 years am a actually learned a lot here, loved the board meeting 😂

Great video, amazing close up shots of the machinery and the sprues! always a pleasure to see a new video from this channel!
i very much enjoy your content bubba, thank you for doing what ya do.
Thanks Bubba!
Will never look at another kit the same way!! Fantastic vid my man!
👍🏼👍🏼👌

Amazing as always. Plus , I'm the lad ya met in Leeds! Good to see you cracking out gold as always !
Cheers mate! And was nice to meet you!
Awesome video, keep the chill vibes rolling Dave.
After all these years, I finally get to see how the sausage is made. Bravo, fantastic video, I can't convey how interesting and entertaining I found this.
my god, it's beautiful 🙂
Thanks mate! ❤️🐸
Great video (as always) and very interesting to see how these plastic minis are made
This is an absolutely top tier hobby channel. Keep up the phenomenal work my guy! Love from Canada!
Is Tony available for consultancy work? The guy is a genious!
Another brilliant video. The shot looking down through all the sprues was so cool.
A really cool paint job too Dave.
Thanks Adam! Much appreciated!
Well well, now we learn that GW isn't the only UK games manufacturer making hard plastic models in house!
thank you for these videos. really mean it man.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching
Extremely interesting! And it certainly helps explain why our hobby is so expensive. All that labor and it all needs to be covered by a small audience.
You're a rockstar, dude! Thanks for the awesome video!
Cool Video, btw, EMA Model Supplies Plastic Weld is even better
You are the spitting image of my wife's deceased father. I bet that's the oddest comment you ever had but it's actually true.
It’s definitely in the top 5! He musta been some handsome.
So interesting! Thanks for the video. Looking forward to more in this series 🙏❤️
I am a little concerned that Wayland may no longer has a toilet that flushes :(
I suddenly have a craving for a new wargame, a frozen pizza, and peas. No idea why.
That’s marketing done right!
The photography on this video is mental.
Thanks mate! Mostly thanks to my man Mikkerz doing a good load of shooting.
@@MSPaints The macro footage of the stacked sprues is very cool.
Love this series Dave - really interesting and thanks for pulling back that curtain on the industry.
Tony the Dragon - love it
Cheers mate! Yeaaaaaah it’s been good so far. Gonna have a breather before we get to work on the resin miniatures video! That one is a mooooooonster!
@@MSPaints looking forward to it mate 👍
Great to see how this process works, thank you for another great video.
Great channel! Enjoying your videos, very well edited
Another great video and a very insightful look at stuff that most hobbyists don't think about.
Played dystopian wars when it first came out and really enjoyed it. Might need to give it another go
I've wanted a video that explains this process at warcradle for ages!
Superb video pal. From content to production. I really wish my gang would revisit Dystopian Wars. The setting and the minis are amazing and your paintjob did them justice. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent vid mate, really interesting 😃👍
Man, I love these documentary style videos.
An interesting and informative break from the norm - I love it.
I freaking love your videos and the behind the scenes stuff is just magical, keep it up man.
Thanks maaaaaaaate!
Man those tiny ships tickle my fancy
Distressingly satisfying aren’t they? I need more
Great video! Lovely models! Where is that amazing battlemat from?
From GW’s Dreadfleet! Great little box set and it’s cheap to pick up sealed on eBay
Whats the music starting @ 16:36 ?
What software do they use for modeling?
Super intersting video. I love how their sprues can stack, I wish GW would do that. So tempted to try dystopian wars out. The ship designs are fantastic

What a great and novel video. Thank you for a fun trip!
God I love these informative videos. Great format. Has it all.
The mold flow test is awesome but even so I'd feel like taking a leap of faith doing the plate directly for production.
Amazing video!!! Thanks so much for making this - was litterally thinking the other day i wonder how plastic sprues are made.

Note - hoping they always keep that free delivery over £20 - that's their competitive edge imho.
They’re some real hobby heroes. Was great to meet the team and put some faces to the business!
Great video Dave! Extra points for the Homeland novel!
You should check out their game Wild West Exodus too. That's really fun and the minis are lovely
Thisbwas great, i love production factory tours!
It seems so weird that I'm only seeing a video documentary like this now about the wargaming miniature casting process for plastics. Now I think about it I'm pretty sure I've never seen a video like this about the lead or tin minis casting process. 😊🤔😮
I worked like printer in standart print factory for paper marketikg, book making and more marketing things, but this looks fantastic
Love seeing those Dystopian Wars models, I am definitely going to have to invest in some models. Love that seascape mat as well
This is such a fantastic video and story, say awesome.
Anyone have any idea what the program used by the sculptor was called?
Great video mate!
Love these sort of videos
What is that magnifying head gear he is wearing at 12:00
Fanuc robodrill is a good machine tool for small mold making.
I am surprised you guys have not invested in a Matsuura Lumex for faster and more precise mold making.
Awesome,thank you!
Dude, thnx for the video!
Guys, who have recognized soft of the designer (2:37) and the engineer (5:50)?
Great as always
Dave is alive.
You make very good videos. Respect
Didn't know Wayland makes their own stuff, I used to order from them before Brexit and having to pay extra VAT and import fees. Well, I only buy vintage models nowadays anyway.
Cool video, thanks!
that graphics tablet pen holder arm thing makes me think your arm would get tired holding it up so long
I dunno how he does it tbh
Welcome to the wonderful world of Tamiya Extra Thin! 👍
Ironically I might buy some dystopian wars stuff to scale with none other than what the guy painted was talking about, my Godzilla figures
Ooooooh! They do make a flying sky drill like Atragon!
@@MSPaints i had to look that up, I know it more by the name gotengo
that's what we need, kaiju vs navies. Now that would be a great mod.
This is fascinating
Educational and entertaining…bravo sir, bravo…👍
I keep catching old video game OST tracks in your stuff and doing a double take. Excellent taste on that note, is that Digital Devil Saga?
It is!
always a pleasure watching your stories, you're ace-pants for sure.
I have to say there's nothing better than the colorful euphemisms (metaphors if you're Mr.Spock) of the Mother Tongue.
Yeah boi! Would love to see Tony go on dragons den!
Hoped to see more detail about how miniatures done. I though after machining steel/aluminum plates they are polished or something by hand.
got to say im impressed not even CGL does in house manufacturing
You earned my sub IMMEDIATELY by using DDS music.
@9:15 oh cool they have one of those machines you kill the T-800 in!
I did ask if I could re enact the scene but they said no. Party poopers!
Also, gorgeous models
I'm guessing that moulding machine is an Engel. Based on the green panels.
Tony D. is the textbook definition of an "ideas guy". 😆
I am an amateur zbrush user, wth was that weird arm thing connected to your drawing tablet pen? Why not just use the pen right on the tablet?
Haptic feedback. The sculptor can feel the model he is sculpting, as though he were pushing a physical tool through moulding clay.
@@stuartmackaness1701 wuuuuuuuut!??!?! This is real? Omg, now i want. Damn it.
@@stuartmackaness1701 can you recommend a brand to use with zbrush?
No mention of polishers?? All plastic injection moulds for miniatures will have a polisher work on the surface imperfections left by the CnC machines. I used to do it for GW.
Very cool
LOVE IT!
