      Nice mate can't wait to see how it comes out!

    Brilliant!
    I'm laterally waiting for the day when you just start making entire miniatures out of sprues somehow.
    "Here's my sprue ork army:
    The vehicles are sprues.
    The bases are sprues.
    The terrain are sprues.
    The miniatures are sprues.
    The dice are sprues.
    The glue is melted sprues.
    The paint is sprues.
    The table is sprues..."

      My opponent? Looks at sprue human sized stick figure.

  • @Samba14
    @Samba14 3 ปีที่แล้ว +64

    Video idea for you - make a big project again like your ork tank solely from sprues and then give it to a “painter” youtuber to see how professional they can make it look!

    • @MiniatureHobbyist
      @MiniatureHobbyist  3 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      That sounds like a good plan, just need more sprues and a willing painter =)

    • @CeeJayThe13th

      Everyone needs more sprues in their life lol =)

  • @NefariousHippie
    @NefariousHippie 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I think for a lot of these 'wooden' pieces, you could lightly etch with a hobby knife to give it some lines like wood texture, which would make the contrast paint look more convincing. Great ideas!

    I may have mentioned this before in a previous comment, but I've reworked an old crosscut shredder, one that is made to cut up credit cards and old CD/DVD materials. I modified the entry point to make it a bit wider so that the sprue sections will fit through the opening.
    This allows me to chip up sections of sprue much faster for other uses and saves my hands the trouble of cutting them up manually. It creates a relatively even material for the sprues to be used as rubble, melted down in acetone, or melted into a silicone mold.
    With some PVA glue (or other binder), it can be pressed into a form to make rough pieces of flooring or walls. Those can be left rough or sanded smooth. It really does speed up the entire process.

  • @tjippo8197
    @tjippo8197 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Melting and re-molding sprues with acetone is pretty genius. Never would have thought of that.

    • @MiniatureHobbyist

  • @joshuablackburn-hind7091

  • @walrusgaming2680
    @walrusgaming2680 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    As much as contrasts paints are easy and look good, I reckon you would be pretty good with basecoats, washes and layers

    • @MiniatureHobbyist

      Yup, as these are simple little builds Im just going for quickness =)

  • @planetschlock
    @planetschlock 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That accidental camouflage pattern the bases have when they come right out of the oven is pretty awesome, not gonna lie.

  • @thom3124
    @thom3124 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brings back memories. As a teenager, decades ago I used to use sprues to build frames for dragster models.

  • @goetzwt1879
    @goetzwt1879 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You may have mentioned this in one of these but they may be useful for broken walls, like if you have a stone brick wall that has a big hole in one side you can have sprue wooden framework that’s popping out (and probably broken)

    When I watched the 2nd top ten I thought I'd give a try to sprue building, and I ended up Building a comm Tower and a destroyed building man I'd never would have imagined that sprues could be so useful. Big thanks to you for those ideas

    The tree by itselfs seems a bit of a stretch, but as an armature to cover with clay or texture paint, I can see that being very effective

  • @dashrendar7720
    @dashrendar7720 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Dude you’re awesome. Also I think you could paint small cylindrical shapes brass colored, to make them look like bullet shell casings.

  • @bericgarrett3282
    @bericgarrett3282 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My personal favourite use for sprues is the framework for shabby buildings, using card/ anything as the walls. Best part is if you have 4 of the same sprue size, you don't have to cut it up, just glue along the edges and it's done. Much easier than cutting up angles for the framework (do still need to clear off nibbly nobbly bits so it'll lay flat and the walls will go on well)

    Wow, i love the campfire! I don't play Warhammer, i don't have Sprues.. But i love those DIY Videos and i think, i will build such a fire out of other resources for my Workplace.

    @michal_king478 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Also if you need a lot of plastic to melt in the oven or acetone, you can buy a roll of 3d printing ABS fillament or if you know anyone with a 3d printer, ask them if they ahve any scraps or failed 3d prints from ABS. Plus a lot of the scraps can often be used for all sorts of models

    One idea. Melt them down to use as bases for scenery instead of wood or cardboard. Something for ruins to be fixed to, for example.

  • @andytate5670
    @andytate5670 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    love these vids so inventive, I particularly loved the Dynamite ( which I'll be using on a future mine build) the canon which I thought not only brilliant but hilarious! but I really loved the foliage idea they would be great mixed in with my own tufts and clump foliage thanks.

      Good point, I wanted to add some feathers to some models. Maybe I'll try the 'foliage' trick here and cut lines on the sides and see how it goes. I wasn't looking forward to trying to sculpt thin feathers out of green stuff

    You could hit the tree with a heatgun to soften the plastic and let you bend the limbs to different angles to make it more dynamic, and maybe add some moss clumps for foliage.
