Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment, truely! But there's a solid 7 days of editing in that video, so the thought of making it longer is nightmare fuel! Maybe I'll get faster ;)
"... the importance of taking regular breaks when working with styrene glue..." the quiet humour is a great addition to the cool modelling. Using Phobos Armour as vehicle crew is a great idea.
It's waaay larger in the lore I think (it drops multiple TANKS off in addition to 80 marines) but I really really like this model you made way more than the marine transport GW actually makes. Actually has that chunky Caestus-like look. Awesome stuff. Had a skim this time but I'll get around to looking more fully on the process later on! See how easy it'd be to replicate.
Yeah, the references are a little all over the place. I've seen 40 and 60 marnies mentioned elsewhere... which is sorta doable here, but no chance with tanks. I figure in that case it would make an Orca look tiny. In the end I decided to scale it to the Thunderhawk, but wider, and with 3 hulls, to at least keep it vaguely playable!
I really love the mastery of space marine design language shown in your pannel work. That laser cutting alwas absoluteky the way to go for the precision this job asks. Also your mystery gunner console was a leftover from your spartan conversion, its normally held by the tank commander
I feel obligated to say the video is just the highest quality through and through. The build is gorgeous, the commentary is funny, you show (some of) the mistakes. Just some damn good hobby content.
03:31 if you put on your headphones and listen carefully.... you can hear the endless rage screaming and swearing in the background that he muted in the video editor... great build! Worth all the hard work. Thank you for documenting and sharing ❤
I enjoyed the journey as you scratch built the ship. The way you identified each building material, provided thickness, showed cutting and placement convinced me that it’s doable. I decided to subscribed. Thank you.
In a world where 3d printing is the new norm, i absolutely love the dedication and ingenuity of scratch builders. Awesome work. Now i gotta figure out how i can 3d print myself one LoL
I'm only a few minutes in, but i have to say: Wow. The build looks amazing, the process looks incredibly meticulous, and your presentation of it is so, SO professionally done. Not even just the video, but the script is 10/10; i'm actually struggling to keep up with all the jokes and references. I don't think i've subscribed to someone within 3 minutes before, but I'm excited to watch all of your other videos. Keep doing what you're doing!
Always an instant click when your videos pop up! The amount of effort that you put into building and video editing is tremendous!!! Please keep making more videos and I'll always click on them when they pop up!!! Also, I loved that "unnecessary" clip at the end!!!!
Thank you kindly. Yeah, this one was a labour of love. Not helped by the fact I had to film and edit around 60 commercial videos between the build and edit phase. I need a holiday! ;)
Thank you so much. The edits are a labour of (mostly) love. With the models, the effort is very obvious in the final product, but it's hard to tell with video editing - as I guess when it's at it's best nobody notices it!
stellar work! this just looks ridiculously good! As others stated here before, it's not only incredible for the quality of the build but also the dense presentation of it - i would also watch you work for hours on it, but this has been a very quick blast of a video =D thank you so much for the templates - they are a work of art in themselves!
Sir, you have just gotten yourself a new subscriber. What an excellent video! I applaud your attention to detail, effort, and sheer willpower to get this done. Not only that, but also the video is well done.🤘
Watching you build this was absolutely incredible. I much prefer the Thunderhawk and Stormhawk gunship designs myself, this one is a bit too much flying wedge block, but watching you work was a lot of fun!
If in doubt, cheat! Honestly, I bought a cheap 20w laser a couple of years ago, and it's been a fantastic tool. But being able to outsource styrene cutting to professionals is something I didn't realise was possible. love it!
What beautiful build. No way in hell I’m going to make one. But I’ll download your instructions in case I ever change my mind. Good job anayway, you should be very proud of your work. Kudos.
@@OffbeatBuilds at some point I really want to make some scratch builds of my own but mine will most likely be monsters rather than vehicles, I like Tyranids
Wait.. You've got a 40K channel, too!? I had no idea! Stumbled on the video last night and instantly recognized the voice. I've gone through a couple vids now and, aside from your usual dulcet tones and dry humour, the other that sticks out to me is just how many old school hobby tricks you employ that most current 40K content creators don't seem to. I learned a lot of those tricks from my father when I was a wee one, and it's so cool to see some of them again. Especially from one of my favourite creators from my other favourite hobby.
Wow. So I had to stop and think for a moment before commenting because everything about this build is amazing and deserves attention. But if I wanted to single out what impresses me the most, it has to be how CLEAN everything looks. From the angles of the hull to that control panel - everything is so neat. This is easily the coolest scratch-built flyer since Adeptus Papercraftus and g0rb made their papercraft Fire Raptors 5 years ago.
Thank you so much. I've been doing this for the better part of 20 years, and I guess I still see my builds as quite messy compared to some of my "idols". So it's very flattering to hear! Thank you, and have a great weekend!
The little ipad thingy comes from the HH land raider / spartan kit meant to be used for the guy coming out of the hatch I just built one so its fresh in my mine.
It's a fantastic build, and thanks so much for making the templates available! a Quick note, it looks like Panels "Pod Side 2A," both of the "Pod Side 2C," and both of the "Tail Upper E" are missing their outlines in the Overlord Panels pdf. They're present on the Laser Template doc, but thought to mention it.
There is a description in one of the dark imperium books where the Overload is described that Thunderhawks were dwarfed by it. So a model representation would be at least as big as a Manta
YOOOOOOOOO!! Oh my goodness bro, you did a phenomenal job!! I absolutely love it!! I',m crazy enough and have the free time, I might just make one myself!

If you released a less cut down version, i watch these builds for hours. Your quality in build and production is fantastic, keep it up!
Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment, truely! But there's a solid 7 days of editing in that video, so the thought of making it longer is nightmare fuel! Maybe I'll get faster ;)
@@OffbeatBuilds Could always release unedited footage (if possible) as kinda like a sleep story/chill background noise of sandpaper on plasticard
@@OffbeatBuildsTH-cam favors long Videos to sleep to right now pretty heavily. Definitely release a theatrical cut.
@@EarlyEscaper I upvote for this 😁
"... the importance of taking regular breaks when working with styrene glue..." the quiet humour is a great addition to the cool modelling.
Using Phobos Armour as vehicle crew is a great idea.
Gracias! If I'm honest I picked the Phobos crew because I prefer the aesthetic, rule of cool and all!
I’m not sure what’s more impressive - the build or the fact that you condensed all this work into such a comprehensible video
Thanks, very much appreciated!
That Saturday morning cartoon theme in the drama shots really sold it!
Haha, glad you enjoyed it - those shots were a bit self-indulgent really, but I kinda felt I had to!

@@OffbeatBuilds Now you have a v2 project to work on ! just kidding, great work and video editing too!
Aye, it's described as 700-metres-long Sub-Orbital Ship for quick Support-drops. Nonetheless, beautiful Build!
I think that like the thunderhawk it has a transport variant that can transport two repulsers that is separate from the troop transport.
Great looking build. Like a Corvus Blackstar meets a Caestus Assault Ram! And you completely glossed over the awesome paintjob!
Thank you! Yeah, I hate talking about painting, so I'll find any excuse to avoid it!

Haha. Editing that was a breeze compared to cutting, sanding and gluing on all of those panels. I've not been quite the same since!
Hands down the most epic kitbash to have ever bashed a kit.
You had me at Imperial Slips (and a Wilhelm scream).
This was glorious.
Haha. I couldn't help myself ;)
Wow this is a top notch scratch build! I would definitely be interested in a longer video of this and similarly ambitious projects.
Thanks Erik - I'm not sure my ADHD brain would allow me to produce a slower paced edit of this! :D

We have all just watched a master at work, absolute masterpiece and has helped start the hobby juices a flowing
This is the COOLEST scratch build I’ve ever seen! Such a load of inspiration!
Not only is your modelling work amazing, your editing skills are fantastic! all the cuts and sound bits are extremely entertaining!
the bit you where asking about is from the hh tank commander sprue
Thank you! That's been bothering me for weeks.
Ahhh beat me to the punch!
There's some similar bits that come specifically with the Spartan tank commanders
I literally just saw this on reddit, algorithm put it here for me. Very well done!
thanks! Sometimes, TH-cam does good. Well job, you terrifying algorithmic monolith!
I love these videos, the style he has editing and writing these are unmatched. I hope this channel blows up, he deserves the views!
This is an absolutely fantastic build! And the video editing is on point as well. Incredible!
Thanks, much appreciated!
I keep coming back to watch this again. Truly inspirational
This is insanely cool! It really feels like a black star but bigger, binging all your videos currently
Those panels - Chef's kiss - Amazing work, it looks like a perfectly legit model.
Gracias! Much appreciated.
I think your hobby videos are some of my favourite.
Thank you so much, you're too kind!

This was very enjoyable to watch. The whole process was fascinating and the end result is top notch. Great work
Gracias amigo, much appreciated!
Your editing and story telling and… the build too!… are just wonderful and really fascinating
Thank you. A lot of work goes into the writing/edit, so it's always nice to hear when it's appreciated. Have a good weekend!

Thank you so much. The edits are a labour of (mostly) love. With the models, the effort is very obvious in the final product, but it's hard to tell with video editing - as I guess when it's at it's best nobody notices it!
This thing is stupidly amazing! And the fact that it resembles the Blackstar a.k.a the coolest astartes flyer is just gravy on top!
such an excellent video with a great final build. Love that the pilots and cockpit are kit bashed.

This is very impressive, like a model built for a film set, well done!
Honestly, if I'd been born 40 years earlier, I'd have been right at home making models for Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlet!
Loved this. Your dedication and skill making, which then edited with humor, was superb
Thank you kindly, it's much appreciated!
Perfection. The edit is so tight and well done, let alone the project! Extremely well done
thats amazing, thanks for doing all the hard work for us to enjoy seeing your final product and process
Excellent work! This is something I'd never attempt but I'm glad you did and it looks beautiful!
Another banger form the best produced 40k channel.
Thanks.... you're too kind. Stop it!

This was awesome! Thank you for sharing and for the high production value of your video.

@@OffbeatBuilds the results are just mind blowing. Scribing panel lines is not an aspect of model building I enjoy. Great video 😎
Good god, this is absolutely incredible.
Thank you so much!
There's no other hobby channels videos I click on faster than this one. Banger after banger after banger!
Thank you kindly, that's made my evening!
its good to see you again dude. thought you had jusrt disappeared for good, but lo and behold, a big old airship for the primaris SM
Haha, it felt like it. I ended up doing a bunch of commercial work over the Summer, which got in the way of toy-solider time! ;)
Amazing as always, cockpit detailing and OSL in particular look great.
Awarded the "Crisp Look" medal.
Awarded the "Best Thumbnail" medal.
Ah thanks! Much appreciated!
Smashed it. Had to hit subscribe about halfway through the video when I realized that yes, I'd watch so much content in this style.
What beautiful build. No way in hell I’m going to make one. But I’ll download your instructions in case I ever change my mind. Good job anayway, you should be very proud of your work. Kudos.
Haha! As a fellow hoarder of guides, instructions and templates, I feel you!
I’m definitely gonna follow this tutorial so I can make my own tabletop ship
Finally some more scratch builds thank you so much for this 🙏
No, thank you!
@@OffbeatBuilds at some point I really want to make some scratch builds of my own but mine will most likely be monsters rather than vehicles, I like Tyranids

Criminally under-subbed channel. Great video man.
my jaw has hit the floor, outstanding work.
The goat is back! I love your vids and your editing style, keep up the good work!
hilarious commentary and fantastic edits... i dont know if the overlord or this video is better constructed
Thank you so much. That's made my day. Have a good weekend!
What a great build from scratch!
Thanks! I'll be finding rivets in the carpet for months I'm sure!
You're a madman! Excellent. Hope your sanity returns:)
No denial here. I need a lie down now!
What a fantastic build, I must give thanks to the Omnissiah for blessing my feed with your video. Subbed!
Gracias amigo!
What an amazing video! Just popped up on my feed, hope to see more
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it.
Damn dude, you got talent by the bucket load.
Thank you, you're too kind!

I just built one so its fresh in my mine.
Thanks. I got min with the Age of Darkness box.... so it's very not fresh in my mind!
Instantly had to leave a like for the styrene sheet montage.
Haha. I still have nightmares about that! ;)
Incredible work.
Gracias!
9:35 the part is from the Horus Heresy Vehicle shared upgrade frame
Thank you kindly!
Fabulous build,looks great.
Tell me you were an architectural model maker without telling me you were one lol, Great build nice to see someone making something from scratch.
Incredible, just incredible!
Thanks dude. Much appreciated!
Just discovered your channel and what a build! Love it!
We need you more subs, mate. Awesome stuff!
Thanks, working on it!
absolutley insane piece of work! Wow
Very new here and blown away by both the build and the editing! Similar vibes to the Aussie Luke Towan.
I’d love to see that fusion360 mock up too
My Dude, that is wicked dope!!! Seriously! .....and now I want one...😅

Great Video. 👍Brings me back to the good old times, when projects like this would be featured in official white dwarfs and really encouraged by gw.
That looks fantastic great job

Looks like a 40k thunder bird 2, I love it.
Haha - very much what I was going for. Should have added removable pods really!
Awesome build. Looks amazing 👍
Amazing build and video, best one yet!
Really cool, dude! Thanks for sharing. I've been trying to figure out how I can build something similar to a LEGION SOKAR STORMBIRD.
Gracias. And yeah, that's a bucket list project for me. Beautiful model.
Seriously amazing work. Truly inspiring!
Another awesome build!
I was laughing all the way through the video and don't worry, not a chance I am attempting this build!
Haha. Nobody should! ;)
This is super cool! Nice work!
