I Challenge Wyloch's Armory to a Craft Off!! Dieselpunk Skytrain 

* Virtual fist bump *

I can relate so hard to letting my older brother have my turn at a game because i knew he would get farther

What would make a train better......... giant centipede of course. Love the way your brain works

Awesome man, so creative. Well done.

I commented too early, so I'm commenting again! Suddenly a centipede appears?! This video is 2-for-1 deal. As always, your monster painting technique looks great and I love your use of exaggerated highlights and shadows on the centipede underbelly.

Man, that is a crazy cool set-piece. I can imagine the player's eyes popping out as you place this on the table. As always creative and I love your unique style.

Holy smokes, that is drop-dead gorgeous. I could totally see an entire campaign focused around traveling with a scavenged-dieselpunk-mega-centipede. Wonderfully done!

It would be great to see a collab where Wylock isn’t allowed to measure anything, and Frankie has to measure everything haha

Awesome collab. You guys both made a couple of sweet builds and the intro was too funny. :P

I was amazed at how many sci fi ship and vehicle silhouettes are just deodorant things

Yes, walnut shells. Cool build. Also, everyone should embrace their inner ork. Waaaaah, and all that. :)

Damn, this turned out super awesome! I wish I had an excuse to rip apart my printer.

Fantastic job as always! I recently tried out using aluminum foil under clay and it's way solid. Definitely going to use it more. Also, Wyloch's intro was hilarious 😂.

Dude, that looks awesome! I love the story you put into it and I haven't seen anyone put so much hand sculpting into their builds. I punched the subscribe button hard. You're awesome

Your crafts keep getting better and more epic. I’ve told myself forever that I need to make some cold porcelain and now I’m convinced that it is the way. Great job man!

Howl's Moving Castle would have been outstanding for this.

So freaking creative Franky, I will have to check out Whyloch's channel now as well. Thanks for another great crafting vid mate :D. Also love the use of printer parts

I really enjoyed this train/creature you created. But the back round story was absolutely amazing. It's great how you immerse yourself into the landscape of your story, imagination, and when you return to reality you bring back something to share with the world. Your players are extremely fortunate because not only do they get a complete story but they are guided through that world by you. Again amazing job and thanks for sharing your creation.

Earthdown & Shadowrunner are in world with cycles of low/high magic ;) End results looks great :D

Totally sick build dude!!! Definitely love where your mind is Aton the build.

I‘m just two minutes in, and the intro is hilarious 😂 This is gonna be good:)

That centipede though! Knocked it out of the park Franky! Give Cooper some well deserved scratches for that oscar winning performance!

if I might suggest an alternative idea for the centipede train that it is like a hermit crab where the creature cralled into it while it was small and kept it as a shell when people tamed it

Good job keeping Wylock on his toes.

Franky, my man, you never cease to amaze us! I love how you build amazing things with crazy ideas and they always turn out great! Thank you for sharing that wuth us

MA boi Franky going full weird on his project. 10/10

Going to have to look at the Cold Porcelain , Top build ! Art heart bursting with the creativity on this. Game face on and enter the Wyloch lair.. FDC ! FDC ! FDC !

I think it has a Genstealer Cult kinda feel... the centipede has a old school OOP Hive Tyrant feel...

That looks amazing!

That centipede looks so organic and creepy on its own! Great spin on this challenge. I only started watching Wylocks channel about two days ago and see that his builds are much more engineered where as yours is very organic and natural. Really liked them both for the use of parts and story. Keep building and we will keep watching! (no really that centipede looked dope!) (yeah I'm still liking the centipede!)

So awesome mate! It's totally weird and really inspiring. I love the way you out the narrative in place and my own worldbuilding perspective is similar. Looking forward to the next video already!

When the Artist challenges the Engineer.....everybody wins! Great video!

Man, this was such a great build to watch. Really well done. Thanks Franky.

This build went in a completely unexpected direction from what I expected, yet it's definitely your style! Excellent!

easy win here

Amazing video. I loved everyone minute of it. It's wonderful to see two different artists tackling the same subject and seeing how different the projects turn out.

I saw Wylock's video first, but as soon as I saw the finished product I knew you had to have based your build on the mission 1 boss from Metal Slug 3.

I love how your build was so essentially Franky. This just oozes artist within! Keep up the good work!

Imagine Elon Musk accepting your challenge.

Next level stuff and super original. Keep doing you. If you're not working in art/design, you're missing your calling!

I need me some of that clay you've got. You make it yourself or does DMG sell it? Edit looked it up, Scotty vid from 2 years ago I somehow missed! Doh!

Great Craft Off! I am glad no one died due to the challenge. My dogs cheat on me with Little Sheldon episodes. Epic craft! Love the rust and giant centipede.

Dude. Scary and sexy, no, wait. Disgusting and beautiful. That bug is nasty. Propers.

Really awesome collab and a great build. I'm enjoying your channel too!

That was fabulous, I especially see Studio Ghibli, your imagination and enthusiasm are just wonderful, you definitely nailed this challenge, you’re my Champion. Brilliant.

It has been a very long time since I watch a video like this. It got be thinking, back in 2008, I ran a game at Gencon called "Junk" which is the Red Neck Mecha combat game (I like to call it RedneckTech). The writer of the game, who name I called Recall, but his company was something like Black Omen Games, got into the Euro games and wanted to forget this was the first game he ever created. There were no minis for this game, I made my one with various sizes of small wooden block and dowls form Hobby Lobby, Pine wood derby parts (also from Hobby Lobby), and pinned the parts together with cut lengths of plastic rapped paper clips (I found this at Office Max) that make the joints look really nice. I ran out of time and never got to paint them. They are still in a box in my basement, and I think about getting them out and finishing them.

I swear I thought it was Franky B Crafter... Franky D Crafter, D crafter,,, D,,

I'll be honest, I'd never even heard of you before seeing Wyloch's video. But you definitely win, hands down. Will be checking out your other vids.

Me at 11:30 : YES!!! YES!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!

“English Walnuts”. (They are different than American Walnuts).

the centipede part has been genious and has been immensely useful for building monsters, thank you so much for making this video

I always enjoy you telling the lore behind the piece as you work on it. I kinda get inmersed on the worlds you start crafting xD Thanks for sharing!

Man, that thing looks crazy...I dont even know if I would board it. Scared it might have me for a snack lol

great video man! one of my favorite. i absolutely how you explain the background of the piece and how it will fit in the narrative. you would be a fun dm to play with

You really do need to get Orks because that beautiful pede would fit in with them.

Confirmed for walnut shells. Cool build, bud!

Well, I guess I have to pour one out for all the printers I ever sent to recycling.

My cat could kick your dog's arse... coz he uses rulers, and my cat is twice his size, and has sharper claws, and trained as a ninja in Japan, and... well you get the picture Great build man!

Love the addition of the giant centipede. Awesome

A combustion engine is basically pyromancy

Subbed. Thanks Wyloch. :)

Two of the best crafters on RU-vid, nice work!

Very cool centipede! Trainapede???

Straight fire! Love this video in more ways then one... keep pushing! Epic work on the slug!

Bruh, cold porcelain is one of my favorite materials to work with. I use them for the base material when making oatmeal trees. Turns out SUPER durable. Like, I happily let my friends 2 y/o play with the stuff I've made out of it with zero fears. Edit: A great tip for doing rust on metal: Glue a small amount of baking soda (superglue+soda) to areas you want bad rust damage to be. BMC did this on a steampunk vat (IIRC) and it looked amazeballs.

Came here from Wyloch's video; you've got yourself a new follower, this is delightful! Consider my inner artist spoken to, the confidence with which you attacked something that big is inspiring!

The giant centipede is an interesting choice. (New subscriber from Wyloch's channel.) The mesh of genres allows this, um vehicle? to be played in anything.

Watched the video, liked it, then forgot to leave my comment, so I came back! Loved the intro Franky, very funny. Great looking train and concept! Story is good also, very original!

I'm just gonna say, first off, you should play orks, they are great for this kind of build, and to, I highly respect you pulling inspiration from studio Ghibli, there stuff is amazing for this kind of style.

I had a feeling you were influenced by Ghibli my son and I have every movie Ghibli have ever produced! I really like your build it's actually a flip side to Wylochs sophisticated Art Deco train, you have gone more savage road warrior ( on a centipede) I've been looking at cold porcelain myself recently after seeing DM Scottys vid on the subject but seeing what you did here has finally hammered it home that I need to try and make some of this stuff for myself

This was a great build. You introduced me to some new techniques & ideas. I loved the narrative that you had for it. By the way, I found this through Wyloch's challenge video, I had to subscribe.

Shout out to my man Fat Max Also this really was kind of an amazing mix of ghibli on one hand and mad max in another. It feels like the shape and coloring managed to encapsulate the whimsical but ingenious ideal of a ghibli movie and the adhoc nature and harsh cruelty of mad max. I dunno much about metal slug but as the older sibling i def remember clearing levels at the arcade for my little sister in Gauntlet.

Came from the Wyloch challenge, and wow you've got some skills. The build of the train parts was great, but then the sculpting is next level. Well done.

it looks great

Ballsy move challenging Wyloch. Propers. This looks awesome.

Incredible!!! Great challenge. steampunk meets D&D.

In the intro, this is the funniest I have ever seen Wyloch. He really needs to do a bit more laughs and silly stuff in his own vids.

The piece really came into its own (and your style) when you worked on that centipede. Curious... did you have any issues baking the super sculpey parts? Did it damage the rest of the cold porcelain?

When I saw a preview of your project in Wyloch's video i thought "wow he mounted the train on a toy lobster". Never expected to see it sculpted from scratch! I will need to check out the liquid porcelain and see how it compares to milliput.

The delay was more than worth it for this absolute banger of a video. I love how you made dieselpunk fit your existing aesthetic: it really inspired me to look at things outside the vibe of my settings but find a way to incorporate what looks cool

I really really liked the paint until you added too much silver and white. You put white under a flap, shouldn’t that be black?

very very cool, looks like anime sci-fi monster def would work with some anime figures!

I absolutely love your creativity! The project turned out great!

Love this build. It's definitely got a Ghibli vibe. It also reminds me of Tales from the Loop a bit

Yes, those are walnuts.

Gotta give it to Wyloch. It's a great sculpt, but it's neither dieselpunk or in the sky.

its the lighting not the camera. Get more and better lighting. Avoid too many shadows.

Definitely awesome Franky

17:27 Orktober 2021 hype train

This turned out amazing!

This is amazing!!!!

Dude, your build was great as always. Keep crafting!!

I guess we have to start referring to it as a Wyloch Complex.

Amazing video brotha, That is one EPIC build.

Lol cooper 🤣

Have to say this is an amazing piece! I love the approach you took! Wyloch is my dude for sure, however I can see this piece on my war gaming table! Well done.

Sick piece! Both are great :)

Gives me inspiration for tyranid sculpts!

Saw Wyloch's video first and thought "As always, an interesting piece, wonderfully execut-OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THAT AMAZING CRAB MONSTER TRAIN I NEED IN MY LIFE MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD?!?!1!?" and rushed over here :) A. ma. zing job! I really love the storytelling you put in this project, creating an ironclad and rich backstory, finding your way to the edge and leaping over it (with a giant crab monster train thing, what a surprise). When I saw the old flaky paint on rusty bare metal I couldn't suppress a 'wow' ;) a Maybe the playability is indeed a little less thought out, but conceptually it trumps your legend's build in my opinion. High fives all 'round!! Thanks for inspiring us. Liked and subscribed on the spot :P

Your build is other worldly . So inspiring.
