Today at Badgerworks, inspired by the art of Eric Geusz, we embark on a little kitbashing and turn a humble shampoo bottle into a starship.

As a kid I would take the TV remotes, almost any remote works, and turn it upside down and imagine up a slick spaceship.

Mars black is also some times known as black iron oxide, is made from (surprise!) iron oxide. Mars (the god of war) is associated with iron (from the age of iron weapons), and that's why it's called Mars black.

Cool, that makes sense now, cheers . I actually have a bag of black iron oxide powder. I use it for cold casting iron with resin.

@brianartillery 4 года назад

Most of those bottles are made of HDPE, or High Density PolyEthylene, which is notoriously resistant to most adhesives and paints. The tops are often made of PP, or PolyPropylene, which is virtually impossible to glue - it has a surface which is oily to the touch, which is great for chemical resistance, but not for working with in a craft capacity. I have stuck it with hot glue, but it isn't a strong bond by any means. Superglue achieves about the same sort of bond, and I believe that it mentions on the packs not to use it with PP, PE, or HDPE. Even on contact adhesive, like 'UHU', which I use a lot, it recommends against trying to glue these plastics. That bottle is an interesting shape, though, and Eric Geusz' illustration is superb. I know that, if you can make one, it will be top notch. Nice one.

@SteamGeezerUK 4 года назад

Thanks. and yes the bottle is HDPE. The superglue holds pretty well, although I do use an accelerant which might be why it's working. The Humbrol primer worked very well on it too - no problems at all there.

@Jestermon1 4 года назад

I use paper clips to pin on styrene sections that you then glue things on.

@RocketPunchHero1 4 года назад

I like to roughen the bottles with sandpaper and brush over it with a little bit of acetone for better adhesion.

@SteamGeezerUK 4 года назад

I went over this with some 320 grit paper. Never thought of acetone though. I like the paper clip idea too.

I have also had a lot of luck with Fabri-Tac as an adhesive for these types of plastic bottles. I also use peel and stick foam for detailing.@@SteamGeezerUK

I have zero clue why this was a suggested video but I'm glad it was.

@Ar-kx4hp 4 года назад

Love your videos! I might have a tip for you to try.. been making a model land rover for the old mans birthday (he’s ex army) and the chipping techniques I’ve seen didn’t really work. Salt and hairspray are great for the middle of big panels, but not so great for details. Real Land Rovers don’t get corrosion on the middle of body panels as I’m sure you know. But the bolt heads on the bumpers get paint battered off in seconds. So..spray the model with synthetic enamel metal paint, 2 or 3 generous layers. Let it dry for a few hours. Then go over it with a thinned down top coat, enough layers to make just opaque. Let that dry. Now drag a cheap disposable nail file over the model. No pressure used. Anything sticking out will get it’s top coats knocked off. Sort of reverse dry brushing?

@SteamGeezerUK 4 года назад

That was the first technique I ever learned for chipping, any years ago. It was in the instructions for a model pistol I built, maybe 35 years ago. It's a great technique - thanks for reminding me of it :-)

I just have to say, Your model making is beyond excellent, your commentary and tips are even better, but I just love these scratch builds, , , , a shampoo bottle, plastic shot glass, bamboo skewer and a bundle of imagination- superb! . So what if the paint doesn’t always stick? I’m going to be doing some of this with/for my grandkids- Well done you! It would be fun if you maybe had a regular “Blue Peter “ corner, - just building stuff for fun from anything laying around. -In fact I reckon, if I challenged you to build something from an electric toothbrush, some drinking straws and a bus ticket, you’d come up with another winner!

@brianartillery 4 года назад

I was very pleased to hear that physical SFX models are becoming popular with film makers again, as people are getting fed up of CGI, as it all starts to look the same, and the fact that there are no boundaries with CGI, is leading to lazy storytelling. CGI explosions will always behave how you expect, and looked dull on screen fairly quickly - the 'Praxis' halo explosion in Star Trek VI (1991), springs to mind. Miniature explosions are far more dynamic and varied. Duncan Jones' brilliant 2009 movie 'Moon' used physical effects models, and WETA Studios' 'Thunderbirds Are Go' series uses CGI characters alongside physical effects models and environments.

@@SteamGeezerUK well if that was your intent then I have no critiques! I do think though that maybe if you tried some corrugated cardboard around the engine it might look cool but looks amazing!

Very cool, I realise I can add panels to my 3d prints by adding styrene sheets

@SteamGeezerUK 4 года назад

You certainly can. Just don't stick your fingers to it too like I usually do :-)

Very nice kitbashing project, You put a flag on it so it needs a name to! "HMSS* SteamGeeser" for example. *Her Majesty Spaceship

Thanks. I didn't name it because I couldn't decide what to call it :-)

I scavenged a couple of shampoo bottles and I plan to try this out. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip on Humbrol gloss lacquer I use it all the time now

@SteamGeezerUK 4 года назад

Happy to help. A lot of people don't like the Humbrol varnish but I have never had a problem with it, and I've used about 5 bottles of it over the last year or two.
