Awesome star wars visions vibe! Pleasantly surprised at how soon this video came. Do you work on one project at a time or do you have various builds in progress at once?
I feel the pain when you glue those paper leaves. I helped my sister put together a high end model kit and it had paper leaves that you had to glue to wire. It took me a week to get all the leaves to stick and not be in danger of falling off with a stupid amount of glue being used in the process.
Absolutely love the shape language if this droid! The creativity you have with using odd bits and bobs is super impressive, I think I would fail abysmally trying to build anything like this. And a trick I’ve seen from North of the Border for semi curing polymer clay is to use a heat gun! It may still melt the plastic of the pens and stuff but I think it would fare a bit better than the oven.
I would be super proud to place this finished piece on my shelf. There is a fair amount of details that are surprising for such a supousedly "simple" build.
Unfortunately, I have now officially watched every single video on your channel. I mean, that's good, because it was a lot of fun... but now I have to wait for more :D I'm looking forward!
Thanks for the many smiles this build gave me. Using a Dremel to turn a stallion into a gelding was great, and the ape with a saw made me do a spit take. For the leaves, if the need arises for a future build, may I suggest making a punch out of stainless steel tubing. A grinding wheel can sharpen the end and a squeeze with pliers will give you the shape. Three sizes should be all you need, then stack the painted paper sheets and one blow will give you many leaves of different colors. Also, for ridges on plastic tubing, I use a pinpoint butane lighter. Twirl the tube in front of the flame until it softens and lightly push the ends together. Hope I helped a little. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your fabulous work.
Not sure how thick you mean, but Costco’s Reynolds brand is pretty heavy duty, and it comes in huge rolls. Cheaper than the grocery store. I use the dollar store version which is thin, as I find it easier to work with.
I love this build, i think its composure is fantastic. If i had to critique anything all id change is the hat to a more traditional Japanese sharp triangle hat and then maybe rough it up a'bit for the old look. The bamboo IS the best ive ever seen, it could be 'cleaner' if one was a perfectionist but IMO it wouldnt look right, i think its current look gives it character. Apologies being late to the party, i absolutely love the content!
How do you manage to keep your hands so clean!? Minimum paint smears and no super glue encrusted fingers.. it’s impressive.. I am very envious of this superpower you have.
Nothing special, but typically I have a roll of tissues/paper towels handy for any smears or spills, and I try to use only what I need for paint and glue, so maybe that helps?
@@gameyybuilds Makes sense.. keeping it clean and organised.. although I still think it is impressive, how ur fingers aren't covered in super glue by the end.
Just a note for myself that I subscribed to your channel at 650 subs to proof that I was cool before this channel will be blown up with fame by the end of this year :D awesome stuff man! Really inspiring to follow and very entertaining!
@@gameyybuilds I totally believe it lose a hand or a head or an exhaust piece. then finally forget about it move a couch or a chair and there it is. lol lol.
Looks fantastic, I saw your video on the lofi girl channel. I was wondering what your background is? I saw a drawing of yours in the video and the quality of the work with your hands, it's all terrific. I'm just wondering where you learned this.
Thanks Dylan. I'm a self-taught artist and got into making these models in August of last year. I've done some plastic snap together models years ago but this stuff is new to me, which is the reason I make so many mistakes! Thanks for your kind comment but I still consider myself an amateur!
@@gameyybuilds really looks awesome. I've been getting some stuff ready to launch my own channel. I'm printing and painting and doing whatever I think I'd fun lol.
Awesome build as always. The trees came out looking really damn good, well all of it did actually. You definitely have a cool video vibe, but I'm sure you wanna scream and pull your hair out sometimes, I know I'd want too. Lol. Love the vision you have for your builds. Great video. 👍
Marvelous, simply Marvelous, as are all your works and videos. In time I will watch all your vids. Never stop..your imagination is beyond Phil's head...😮
I'm a little disappointed you didn't get the thumb to stay in the build but given what you have done with it since this video, it looks like you put it to good use. I've been addicted to this channel for about a week now. I'll be joining your Patreon tomorrow. Looking forward to your future builds and more stories from Aegis.
