I remember watching this 🥰

Amazing work !

Went on it today with the wife and bikes, it was amazing, had to pick people up and drop them off on their boats, like a water Uber, could've sat there all day, thank you for an amazing service, we cant wait to do it again.

If I could be so bold as to add a caveat to kitbashing both physical and conceptual: It works as an aesthetic both in miniatures and story when you remember it is used to dress out or finish your creation with scavenged pieces. There can be a tendency to compose or directly construct from these salvaged parts and this can lead to story, setting or model feeling like a representation of that part rather than something new. The underlying design - physical or otherwise - needs to be complete in and of itself. Capable of standing naked and on its own. The kit parts be they detail, setting, narrative or character need to flesh out that underlying idea rather than be the ideas themselves. This is especially true for narrative pastiche but no less true of filming models. And as always, YMMV.

I remember watching this when I was 9.

Hope this man gets the robosen grimlock.

That was so adorable

“Leonard couldn’t move because that night, Barry and his driver had rebuilt into a gigantic great septic tank, full to the brim with steaming shite!” “Eventually, Leonard saw the funny side too. Well, at least until the railway manager told him that he couldn’t be rebuilt into an engine immediately, and would remain full of shit until the following year! There probably was a moral to this story, but I can’t remember it. *The End* Oh yes! Don’t be a twat, or you’ll end up in the shit! *The End (for real this time)* “

gonna send this to my friends on Christmas lmao

I remeber watching this as a kid! this really takes me back to my childhood!

It’s actually been stated that Derek Meddings was the godfather of this concept, which was developed while he was working with Gerry Anderson on productions such as Stingray and Thunderbirds

Interesting little film. Nice one, Jon.

⭐ THAT'S WELL PROFOUND, MAN!⭐

Here in the UK we call them Wiggets, or widgets so we can dispense with the American term. You aren’t American so why use Greeble? Bollocks to Adam Savage -whom continually bores his audience by reminding them that he worked on the later not so good Star Wars films.

A nicely made video. As others have commendted kit-bashing, whie not a particularly unique idea, was nevertheless first employed by Derek medings on the Gerry Anderson TV series. while '2001' and 'Star Wars' definetly took the 'craft' (meaning both the technique ,or craft, and the vehicles, or craft, themselves) to a new level and created a distinct aesthetic, the fundamental process started with Derek Meddings and Thunderbirds.

The quality in the present day is incredible!😂

The works of Gerry Anderson, from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, are earlier examples. Toys were also used, and often appear in the giant monster movies of the 1950s. Model trains were also widely used for train wreck scenes in many movies and movie serials.

This episode is almost same one to ttte S1 e1 Thomas and Gordon

Bring back Barry and friends

??ｏ?ｏ??

I would say the concept goes back even further. I would say the Godfather of kitbashing was Derek Meddings, from the early shows like Fireball XL5 through the opus epic of Thunderbirds. Many of the Century21 crew went on to other big films and took their techniques with them. Lucas was certainly not the first to come up with "dirtying down".

i drive my tractor like a boss see what jump i just did ? ! you say this is impossible ? just like i give a shit ! - igor pachmelnik zakuskov

Excellent - I love how you extend the kitbashing ideal into the broader concept of repurposing story elements and images!

Disney need to make this lol! Love it
