Hi there, great build and certainly brings back memories .. Did you ever produce templates for the Carapace that can be printed out? It would be fantastic if you have them available as a pdf perhaps? Best wishes, Carl
This is by far the best looking stompa I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing this was a huge project from start to finish I know a ton of work went into this. Simply amazing!
Very cool! Sculpting with green stuff and foil was inspiring. I like the pose of this a lot better than the GW model as well. Glad to find this channel. Thanks for documenting and sharing!
lol need me a mold of ork armor i make all my plates and rivvets by hand and weather them individually with a mold i could cut down work time by 6 days
I think ill be taking some notes on these, i want to build a Eldar army that takes stuff from different Eldar factions but not using the Ynari rules. They follow Isha instead.
Interesting viewpoints. I’m one of the guys who made a video (I think I kind of set the ball rolling) and what I’d say from my point of view is I’ve never made a video just for clicks and views in all the time I’ve had my channel. It’s always been about doing what I love and what I’m personally enjoying. Sometimes that’s a GW product and sometimes it’s not (although I would add I’m not one of the folks getting free stuff from them) so my advice would be always do what you’re passionate about - don’t do it for views. As for being a small channel, every channel starts off small and there’ll be channels who look up to yours as a bigger channel so don’t do yourself down mate. Growing a channel is no joke and it’s hard work - a lot of folks don’t see the behind the scenes effort. You’re 100% right on the GW and algorithm thing. That’s probably one of my main frustrations - that anything none GW gets buried and doesn’t get out to folks who might actually be interested to make their own mind to watch it however that’s the system we use so we have to adapt or accept it … doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Keep doing what you’re doing mate. Folks are watching and enjoying it and I assume you’re enjoying it and that’s what it’s all about.
If you're inspired and enjoy making youtube videos of your hobby, then it seems logical that you'd continue to do so. If you're looking for growth and that's what interests you going forward then a change of direction could be the answer. Personally, I'm all for people creating whatever they want without corporate oversight. Here's how my hobby watching habit works: There are some armies I like more than others - same with models or sub-factions (and I'm quite diverse in my interest and interms of what I buy, within 40k and its off-shoot games). These are preferences and inform my choices as to what I'll watch and when I'm most likely to do so, since my foocus is subject to change within those armies I'm collecting. Videos featuring models and conversion projects I'm interested in don't have to be high production value, although that can and often does improve the experience. Some of the collaboration videos in this hobby sphere have been very cool: the build a vehicle out of a spray bottle was one example and the Road Wars/Post Apoc style collaboration with Boylei Hobby time, Knarb Makes, Dark Matter Workshop etc was superb fun to witness. Can such patterns of behaviour be accounted for, especially across hundreds and thousands of viewers? Only to a certain degree, and analytics data are useful for determining the answer. In summary, I enjoy your conversions and Necromunda videos and as a frequent user of youtube I tend to do the rounds on those I'm subbed to, including your videos.
