Junk Drawer Bits Turned Into Warhammer Models!

- This week I go through a bunch of crap in my junk drawer and try and build a few models with the parts. I was honestly surprised at how many models I was able to put together. You just never know what kind of gold you have laying around in your hobby drawers!

Pro Tip from a steel worker: If you use a dremel try to get a *brass* wire brush. Brass is softer than steel so it's less likely to mar the model up.
I'll have to find some for my Dremel, luckily this thing has variable speeds so I haven't damaged anything yet, but softer brushes would be way better for sure, thanks for the heads up :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues - Amazon for the win. And they do make nylon brushes that might work for some of the plastic but I've never tried *that* particular trick.
Nylon could be interesting, couldn’t hurt to try :)
Nylon is the way to go; model metal is way too soft for brushing with metal heads imo.
Just throwing another stone on the nylon pile. Harder than paint, but softer than the metal. Still need to be careful though.
this is sooooo satisfying! my favorite part is the transition that happens when that black primer goes down
That part is always the best, when all the pieces just come together. mmhmm.
Goober you are like the bob ross of mini painting, also can you paint drycha hamadreth, a sylvaneth monster?
The bit about cleaning your workspace is so true! So satisfying to sit at a clean desk and make a huge mess again :D
The guy with the claws is clearly a stand as "Tyberios, the red wake", the hooded one could be an Librarian
The claws are from the cataphracii terminater kit. There are supposed to be another set of shoulder plates on top.
Man that terminator captain model is a blast from the past.
The robed figure with the staff would be a good Inquisitor and the power claws guy would be a nice Terminator Custodes, with a bit of ancient/forbidden tech for his claws.
The metal terminator with the plastic claws is an early 90s Grey Knight
Oh sweet! I had no idea lol. That makes it a complete model then :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues not really, it depends on what you mean by complete because its using cataphractii power claws without shoulder pads.
This is exactly the kind of video I like to see
That's a proper old school rescue ! Those power swords really sell these figures, thanks for the tips !
That's why low pressure airbrush style hobby sand blasters (with aluminum oxide media) are great to have for metal minis. So long as you don't stay in one area long (and have a way to catch the stuff flying off as well as a respirator and eye protection) it'll strip it down and never harm the metal. They also make even milder blasting media (including using fine baking soda) that's so gentle it won't harm plastic.
Tomorrow my mega paint set from Army Painter is coming and I will finally hit up my minis. You and Brent have inspired me to finally get at them, keep up the great work!
Awesome! Glad to hear you've finally taken the plunge :)
This is what I like to see. I made a proxy model for Makari out of Nob and Stormboyz bits. It was the perfect storm of bits.
8:09 Nice framing! 🤣 Self call-out was funny. 😁
I was litteraly thinking about doing some kit bashing today to spice things up a bit and here's a video about it. Thanks for a bit of inspiration.
Glad I could help!
Welcome to eBay miniature rescues today I'll be rescuing some models....... From Myself! 😂
Great video Casey! And I definitely agree sometimes it's nice to clean off the desk but I try to do my cleaning at the end of each project, to prep for the next one 😁
In a nutshell yeah lol. I've done a few like that, just paint mostly, but my drawers are getting more full all the time, gotta make room!
I like a good clean desk, It helps me think before I move onto the next part of a project. There isn't anything better than the full cleanup after a big project though, I go through everything and organize it all over again lol. Feels awesome to start a new project with that kind of space.
Junk drawer kit bash is my jam! This is awesome, thanks for the sweet vid, and the models look great!
woah crazy, youtube actually suggested a local hobbyist!! it's awesome to see Matrix products in the wild!!
Matrix is such a good shop! I've been there before, but unfortunately I'm not local to the area. I have gotten amazing support from the owners Allen and Terry, so I try and use their stuff as often as I can :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues that's awesome, Allen and Terry are great people :)
There’s something about old pewter models that I just love, great video!
I'd recommend using cellulose thinners for stripping metal models over using power tools! The cellulose thinners just destroy the acrylic binder and the paint comes off in seconds. I spend hours with 99% IPA and a toothbrush stripping old metal minis. Then I saw Luke's APS video about cellulose thinners. Quick trip to the hardware shop, the rest were done in minutes.
Great video... as usual. You should consider doing a a FemMarine kitbash.
That could be fun :)
That sword looks amazing
Wooow ... Can't belive the final resoult! I think one is old ultramarine captain. Wish u Paint the other two soon. Congratulations.
Nice work as always! Especially rhe power swords at the end!
I would use a black and light blue mix of oil-wash. Getting some blue into the GK armor is really nice!
Oil washes are my favourite especially for metallics
Video idea: I suggested this to Trent from miscast, Brent from goobertown hobbies, Eric of erics hobby workshop, and I think a few others and they said it was good but, wrap your hand in duct tape, stick it in you're bits box and make a mini out of what's on your hand.
Hilarious. I love it. I would add Scott and Ninjon, I think they would fit right in
@@Oracle_ I think I suggested it to them too but maybe not, I’ll check.
The hooded mini is a classic Terminator Inquisitor from Warhammer 40k 1st / 2nd Edition. The Grey Knight with Sword and Storm Bolter was actually a Space Marine Terminator Capitan. Hope this helps.
Likely 4 or 5th Ed.
Loved how the models turned out Casey, the darker sword in particular is very eye catching.
id advise using a brass cup brush over a steel wheel brush on the dremel, you get more of a cleaning effect that doesnt cut the metal as quickly as its a softer metal.
Those look like old school grey knights that were stuck in some warp rift or daemon world fighting for the Emprah for so long that they missed the Wardian Herecy with it's plague of Mary Sue'ness, baby carrier bullshit and such. And now they are PISSED.
that power sword is awesome!
The one with the power sword and shield could make a neat proxy for Gotfret de Montbard in a Kill Team.
The oil wash is a really good tip for my next project. I’d heard about oil washes before and figured they were too fiddly for my blood but I have a Celestine and her Geminae Superior to paint next and that sounds really good for keeping the gold shiny but getting a wash in
Youre so very close to the legendary status of hitting 40k subscribers!!!! 😱
Just hit it right after the video came out! I'm totally stoked and amazed. Thanks for being part of that milestone!!
I love that metal Terminator Captain! Mine came off eBay incomplete unfortunately, he was missing the sword hand. Or maybe I lost the sword hand. Luckily my Marines are Relictors and I had a sweet Chaos sword from a Chaos Marauders kit so I matched that one up to the mini. Now he's ready to fight Chaos with Chaos.
Awesome👍. Another inspirational video.
Lol buddy its about time to get my Hawk Lords Chaplain done... Made my cry to see him with an lost arm... :( ;)
Unfortunately it came off when I took him out of the box :( there will come a time though! He will be saved :)
He tried to convert grey knights into dark angles
The model with the staff and cloak holding the head would look pretty cool as a futuristic seer type of character, maybe offering the head as a sacrifice?🤷♂️ loved the video!
I see an old school Chaos Knights shield! Nice
There are these dremel attachment for a standard powerdrill, so you can use your dremeltool with a lot less power and reduced risk of destroying the model.
I imagine there are some softer brushes out there that would fit into my Dremel, the one that came with it is pretty soft, but softer would be nicer. It does have a speed setting, so keeping it on low does reduce the risk of any damage. So far so good on that front. I've tested it on higher speeds on scrap pieces, it can cut right into pewter if you're not careful!
Your vids just keep getting better and better. Keep up the great work man!
Hey Casey, nice video again. You could use the both others for inquisitiors. Stay safe and never get tired of your beautiful job
Today good sir, you earned yourself a loyal subscriber! Excellent job, dedication is key!
Very much appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Love your content so much! Your videos are a treat to watch/listen to.
Thanks for this one and the others.
I love this concept alot, very inspiring
for the model with the claws you could make a pretty dope chaos terminator
In a lot of cases, I just seem to be missing a few additional legs in order to make additional miniatures from what was left over from my kits.
those lightning claws hands are from Cataphractii terminators models
Frederick Castor and Jacob Pollox rise from the junk drawer to serve the Emperor once again!
Love how the models came out! As for the two unpainted models, the old school terminator with the two power claws immediately screamed Astral Claws chapter colours to me. As for the other hooded dude, maybe a dark angles member of the deathwatch? Thanks for the great video!
These seem like good for a grey knight kill team.
Im def gonna try GW’s nuln oil and agrax glosses after watching this vid. My homebrew’s colors are mostly metal so this would be a perfect way to cut down time on painting
The gloss medium does help quite a bit, gloss on gloss makes the wash go right into the recesses. The GW washes will still stain though, so move quick with those over metal and make sure to get rid of the excess the same way you do if it's not gloss. it's loads easier of course, but it happens.
I use acetone on metal parts. A product called Superclean on plastic.
Adam
Love your videos man - keep it up!
Loved this video. I really enjoy seeing a good kitbasher at work. On the 2 not painted yet, paint them. What you did here was just too cool to leave sitting. Regardless of how "odd" or "strange" they seem to be, I'd hazard a guess that you can make them look cool. Oh yeah, nice power swords as well.
I dont even play Warhammer i just come here to look at how he paints them.
This makes me want to do the same to see if I can come up with anything weird/wacky/creative as well...not holding my breath since it's all so random, but we shall soon see!
Nice!
One of them is an original Grey Knight Terminator from the early 90's (one with the power claws, which arent original he should have metal arms abd a force halbard).
Love your vids. Keep it up!
ca. 5:09 : Hmm.... this Powerclaws really look like they were inspired by old 90ies Chaos-Marines in the first place.
The Terminator looks like a Mole.
I guess when your junk drawer is actual models making a model
Is a bit easier lol. I was thinking of a model made of erasers and pins
"Just good for tabletop standard?" Are you trying to make us feel bad?
Nice job Casey. As usual, turning junk into treasures
A bit of an unrelated question here. What is the music you use at the reveal ? At 10:30 precisely
Thanks! The song is called
'Our Last Stand' by FormantX
Thanks a lot !
Love this video, great work on the sword awesomeness, how did you make the oil wash ? I want to try my hand but no idea how to do it.
Hey, cool videos! Can you tell me what you use to make oil washes?
Thanks! Here's a video I made showing how to make an oil wash, it has all the info :)
th-cam.com/video/bvbdLGlmXik/w-d-xo.html
Hey i own one of those. Its a captain in terminator armour
The hooded one would make a good inquisitor today lead the Grey Knights
I believe the "plastic claws" one _is_ a 1st edition Grey Knight.
Fun!!!!!!!!
If only I had some spare torsos and legs for my cadians
Hmm.... the "werd looking Powerclaws" look like they could be from a not so imperial Miniature in the first Place.
Unless I'm mistaken, I believe those are the lightning claw arms for the cataphractii terminator squad.
Did you mess up the primer or get dust or dirt in the paint of the termi captain? He looks pretty rough, his flat surfaces has a lot of texture. 10:47
Old beaten up pewter, I tried buffing it out as best I could, but it only goes so far.
Was the paint on these things just too caked on to get off with an ultrasonic cleaner? i winced when the power tools came out
ive got an ultrasonic cleaner but i still struggle to get paint off some models. i just use water though. any tips or recommendations on how to use it better?
@@joox7364 Use LA's Totally Awesome, if the smell is too much or you're worried about it being too strong, dilute it 50/50 with water. Two-three cycles in an ultrasonic cleaner with that stuff will strip just about any paint off just about any model
@@belmarduk ok, cool! i'll try that. does it work with plastic and metal?
@@joox7364 Yes, it should work with both, just try to avoid soaking plastic figures for too long in the solvent, you want to run them through the cleaner and then rinse them off /brush off excess paint with soap and water as soon as it's done. In theory, plastic should be fine, but I've noticed it can sometimes become brittle from excess exposure.
@@belmarduk oh cool.. just ordered a bottle. if this works you've just become my favorite person ever
Wow
Brave man resurrectes disembodied grey knight from the hellish dimension of the junk draw circa 40,000
hi i'm french, are you ok? I have an army of tyranids 2 nd edd, which I have never built, a complete plastic / metal army when I say there is a lot of piece of barely huge tel me please
is that really a grey knight shield?
The horned skull? I have the same one from an old fantasy battle chaos warriors kit on horses
@@Manyhigh yeah, I was thinking something like this. I don't know the grey knights kit in and out, but this seemed a little far off, hehe...
I don't think so, but the arm was flattened on one side, presumably to put a shield or something on it, so a shield he shall get!
But can you make a whole new model out of your bits box?
I mean, probably. I’ve got a lot of bits floating around, this was just a rando pile in a drawer I was cleaning out.
Those face scuplts are ridiculous.
100% they are lol
Paint them
You couldn't even paint the robe on the one guy? Robes aren't made of steel cheif
Wow that's like the dumbest comment I've seen on a mini painting video good job being a idiot. Fyi this guy's a legit good painter I'm going to guess being as that your comment doesn't even make sense you can't paint for shit. Clearly not a creative type that's for sure can't even create a good rude comment loser lol.
@@bradlemke7550 i pointed out that the dude didnt paint the robe on the one guy which he didnt why are you so butthurt about that?
Looking at it, I missed a part on the bottom, but the rest of it was painted with a dark brown.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues oh well i guess the final 360 rotating view of the models was before they were finished sorry
you this guy is a Deep Crafs?
for the omnissiah's algorithm
Turned out way better than i thought. Please dont use a wire brush and dremel. If you want to remove glue and paint and get it to look good use another solvent like acetone. I hear biostrip20 is good too
Serious question for a more knowledgeable viewer: does LA totally awesome damage plastic models if they are left in there for a long time?
No (with the caveat that there are many different kinds of plastic and resin with more introduced all the time). There’s a useful post on DakkaDakka by “StandardFiend” who compared results after 3 days vs 1 full year of soaking and found damage only to certain metals after the full year: www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/602662.page
Hello Kacy (correct me if I spelled it wrong)
Remember to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 👍🏼
-._.??? Where did ny question go?
As much as I was hyped about this channel when you started uploading, I feel like the channel really lost its main focus.
Most of your videos are no longer proper 'rescues'. You buy some minis from ebay which are usually in a pretty decent shape, strip them, repaint them and call it a day. This video isn't much different. "Can I create minis out of this pile of full terminators+ some loose terminator arms?" Probably you can yeah. The tips about stripping and cleaning the model were great for sure, but the rest of the video was rather dull. You probably realized this yourself as well, as you showed extremely little of the construction; despite that basically being the title of the video.
Don't get me wrong, the painting content is nice, and it is nothing personal. Yet I'm coming here for true ebay rescues. Characters painted thicker than thick missing bits, forcing you to get creative to replace these bits and still get a good looking model.
Nevertheless I really appreciate your wholesomeness and general hobby advice. Your voice is nice and soothing to listen to.
Preach the truth!
I appreciate the feedback, and I get what your saying, but in order have weekly content and keep people watching, I really need to bend the rescue theme a little bit. I can only purchase so many models at any given time so it can be limiting in that aspect, especially finding the nasty thick painted models. These models in particular, I didn't know what everything was in the pile, I got them a while ago and there were some bits that didn't fit at all. They were pretty nasty, and it took me forever to actually clean and make them into models. Time being limited, I shoot the footage I need to get the point across and move on, so you saw 2 minutes of construction that took me a whole day to do. Again, I appreciate the feedback and I always try and take good feedback to heart and apply it to the channel. I have models that are exactly in the position you are talking about, and they will be done at some point! I just hope you can understand how much work actually goes into doing weekly videos like this, and that I'm always trying to improve them.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I know TH-cam definitely isn't the easiest platform to work on, so I definitely hear what you're saying. A single minute clip often takes hours to prepare, and no doubt the thought that goes into these minis also takes a long time. Perhaps you could consider sometime to focus a little more onto the journey itself?
This is just a personal thought. You have a channel with (now 40k subs. Congratulations!), so you know much better what works than I do. Yet many of your videos are almost like tutorials. You explain the process briefly, showcase us a tip and then move on. This as a style is fine, there's nothing wrong with that. Yet it also turns each of your actions into very little actual content for the viewer.
If you compare this to lets say Goobertown, where the viewer is much more involved in the process of constructing and painting the mini; your videos are at times a bit more of a 'sterile' experience. I find it hard to properly explain, yet I feel like you shouldn't be quite afraid to showcase more of your actual work and thoughts. Describe the challenges you faced, what you tried and how you overcame them.
That way, I think you'd also get a tad more content, out of a lot of hard work. Your style is your own and if this works well for you, that is great. Yet I have the feeling that some of your hard and interesting work is being 'wasted' by your videostyle at times.
Hey I'm first, I think?
That mic is picking up SO MUCH BACKGROUND STATIC, all I hear is fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Kind of a misleading title TBH
