I joined a while ago as I felt you to be the "mutoid waste company" of 28mm.

[@0ddMan0ut]

I'm a dad of a two year old. The coughing in my mouth comment is 100% accurate. It's like they aim.

[@afroborilafemme]

Only non-parents ask “why do you get sick constantly”. Small children are walking germ factories and they come out of the womb ready for biological warfare against us parents. 😂

[@BritishBeeMan]

I'm an uncle of 4, making the uncle ill must be a big bonus round of the same game! 😂

[@harbl99]

They're keeping your immune system up to date. No dad, no 'remind me later' allowed!

[@luketfer]

@@afroborilafemme As someone whose mother was a teacher's aid...yeah kids are freaking germ factories. Every year it's a new set of colds, coughs etc. and this was long before the pandemic.

[@astrozombiac3535]

The best is when they sneeze, you get a little extra flavor

[@maeves.5176]

I actually enjoy the length between videos. I like all the fun transitions and noises. I also like that I don't get overloaded with your content weekly, so it's actually exciting to see a new one!

[@MisterDutch93]

Well said. This format works pretty well with monthly releases. It isn't worthwhile to push yourself into making more vids anyway. It's about the quality, not the quantity. I like the idea of getting a new video just when I start to wonder when the new one will drop.

[@jakelevinson7802]

It’s definitely one of the things that makes him so special

[@isaacwittenberg611]

I agree, the ability to actually feel like I'm caught up with it is a nice feeling.

[@bondingsouls]

p0😂🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂

[@richardhertz7345]

Gotta agree. Bill's video's format is pretty much perfect. Never change, m8.

[@CobraCreates]

As someone who chronically never knows what day it is, any time you upload I think "Oh, yay, a new Bill video! I guess it's been the right amount of time." Besides we all like the fun animations and transitions so it's worth the wait.

[@thomrade]

Do you think we could see a "what it all looks like together" shot Bill? Would love to see all the pieces you've made put together in a big table!

[@johncloud3823]

Amen! I would love to see what exists of Respite so far! The greedy part of me wants to see all the rosters, monsters, tanks, vehicles, and other bits of madness for this junkyard of a planet set up alongside the scrap titan!

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

The bounty board was such a cool idea. And bravo to you for being a proud stay at home dad!

[@Yan-17]

you could also call it a BILLboard hehe...

[@benjamindebo9283]

Yo take all the time you need for your vids. They are quality and I think most people who watch wouldn't want you to sac that.

[@purplethunda8863]

Do another patron group build like you did with the town store, but this time, instead of having everyone build shelves of junk, the build monster skeletons and taxidermy and things like that for a Respite sideshow/museum where they show off some of the weird organic creatures of the world.

[@rootube9481]

I love watching bills attic evolve from basic to a messy masterpiece

[@maxpacker2372]

As a degree student, studying horticulture at the Eden Project - I very much approve of the biomes 😜👍🏻

[@thewiseturtle]

Did Bill make Bioboobs? Boobomes?

[@Fallout-pv5lr]

Very nice, been there 3 times and I always get a cactus that dies in the next 2 weeks lol

[@Dovahgiinge]

Damn dude how'd you manage to land a place at the Eden Project at degree level?

[@habibishapur]

Bill's twitching while trying to stay in character and hold back the smirk during cat's skit was great.

[@craftymoss]

Your videos are always worth the wait, and I love your editing work !

[@leonardobarbosa1367]

Amazing bounty board! I am in love with it! Also in love with... Cat's... New mask... Kinda fits him well. Hahaha

[@michasowik2438]

One of the best moments in your videos is when You open your famous sketchbook. It would be awesome to buy reproduction of it as an artbook because it is so awesome. Like the rest of Bill's Stuff :D

[@timothyyoung3193]

Bill I'm subscribed to a handful of channels. Yours is the only one that makes me genuinely excited when I see an alert for a new video. Your pride of craftsmanship and overall commitment to production quality really puts you in an elite group. Keep up the great work.

[@Gudsur]

Those Eden Fruits sound really good. I'd love to see what they look like in your sketch book. On the outside, and what they look like cut open. What do they smell and taste like? I love the little world you're building. I'm making my own as well, and have been slowly making original characters and creatures.

[@lucieeatssnekkers2756]

I wanted to genuinely thank you for showing us your cool projects, I’ve been in a creative rut lately, and your videos really help me keep at it❤

[@tomusannonymous]

I've found these plastic plant tiles at the cheap shop. They're used to put on walls as exterior decoration and they're pretty cheap and have SO MANY plants on each. I've got more than I can use lol.

[@BajkonurBobby]

When are we getting the Ruster drawing as a t-shirt?!!! (I know you might not even have considered it, but please do. Its bloody awesome. Looks like some kind of band shirt but is better cause its not, but about building cool nerdy stuff) 👍👍👍👍

[@TheMiniMadCat]

When your content is so good that just trying to serve the algorithm feels like a form of whip cracking. Dont rush them Bill, they're beautiful works of art your videos, and nothing makes me smile when I open KZbin much more than to see that scribble writing in a thumbnail.

[@ericrylands2860]

Love the build! I would of liked to see a single led light shinning down on your plants inside the dome...

[@hearse_boy_8620]

The food domes could use a tall grain silo to sit between them...

[@bhoy1989]

Love the way you do every part of your videos. We need an abandoned lab in a cliff side or a cave even. Some creepy scientists but......there's actually 1 left

[@wyrmeleon2002]

Woo! I've been looking forward to this! I just started, but I'm glad Cat had a good night out.

[@seymour47]

Bill that bounty board is truly excellent. With no hyperbole, I think it is one of the best craft builds I've seen on KZbin in quite some time.

[@napalmmachete]

Would love to see a complete board of your terrain pieces as a canon layout for the town of respite :)

[@FelixTheAnimator]

Every tabletop RPG town needs a bounty board. The adventures write themselves after that. And *course* they needed two domes, one wasn't nearly enough to feed everyone.

[@malakaikaedmon3860]

Utterly love the bounty board, I may have to make something similar.

[@Sephyricon]

And udderly love for the food domes!

[@WadeWilsonScotlandtheBrave]

The last video I watched the day it came out and I was at work on break and it was nice. Since then I've lost my job which I loved and I loved the people I worked with. I also got really sick as well right after. Then as I'm stuck in bed this video pops up for me as I wake up and it was the joy I needed in the dark moment in my life. Thanks Bill. You inspired me to make so many things for my DND games and Warhammer terrains. I actually named my first big build a tavern for my western campaign after you in a way. The tavern is called the Respite tavern after your town of respite and the bartender inside is named Bill. I'll try my best to deliver his lines with your wonderful dry humour if my players ever try talking to him without just going in just for the bounty board.

[@GreyPeregrine85]

This bounty board continues to be one of my favorite things that you’ve made! The details really sell it 😁

[@RoadWarrior_John]

The Bio domes turned out amazing, I really want to take a crack at making some of those myself in the future. The bounty board was great too, and I think most of us don't mind the gap between videos as you put out quality stuff. Quality over Quantity anytime unless it's bits for the bits box, ha ha ha.

[@lauragregory9436]

Red light district/brothel would add to the towns feel over isolation? (it's the first port of call and the only one for a long time) and maybe some Respite creature farmers and stables? whenever I think of creatures from sci-fi I always think tribbles or insect farms. Insects being the food of the future supposedly. Awesome builds and story times!

[@lucymiau5700]

It is very interresting to explore this rusty world with every new build made. So, the lore becomes more and more colorfull.

[@veritechz]

If you want to get a cool color-shift purple sheen on something for cheap, try painting it with the ink out of a standard black Bic ballpoint pen. It dries in a super rich color-shift purple.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

That Bounty Board is SICK! The dinosaur skeleton on top, the different posters with your art, and the paint work are all so well done. Also, I'm glad that you have finally gotten a robot toothbrush, your bots need to start taking personal hygiene more seriously. I'm not sure what to say about your cat. Great work, Bill!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Now I need robot toilet roll.

[@cygnar2006]

I will say this. A system agnostic setting book would be awesome. This could make an awesome setting for an RPG campaign!

[@voxthesergal]

Honestly that sketch book is amazing; I've seen it fill up as time goes on, but I feel that it could be something you could sell on its own. A little piece of Bill with you wherever you go!

[@Paintedfigs]

Love the story writing idea!

[@shutupbear]

For the love of god don't ever change. I love your videos goofiness and all. If i could afford the artwork i absolutely would because i love that style but so do other people obviously.

[@Wildonion1]

I agree with many of the other posts. Your videos have always oozed quality and that kind of production value absolutely takes extra time. The pace of release feels good, such that I'm always excited to see a new video and not putting it into the "watch later" pile. So, keep on with the current pace! Especially now that you are giving us all the stories, too.

[@christopherconrad9952]

Don’t change a thing. Absolutely love everything you are doing.

[@W._Langman]

Ooh wow, love, love, love the notice board (gonna make my own witcher 3 inspired one,I think)❤️ would love stories, might actually get me to check into patreon more often. I tend to stay away because I don't want spoilers

[@chair448]

As someone who also likes board games, it'd be really cool to see you design one for the world you're making! Maybe some kind of tabletop game like Warhammer but more suited the scratch built stuff like the tank, and easier, quicker matches

[@MechanicalFiend]

Your terrain pieces are always so creative, I loved the concept of the plant domes. And of course the design of the bounty board was wonderful- gotta love all the tiny details that add to the story (also making little papers with things on them is the most fun)! Super fantastic builds and video as always~

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks Devon!

[@thomasmaiden3356]

Bill, Your videos are FANTASTIC! Very entertaining and instructional. When you get enough terrain built for your town, You should do a special episode where you drive your "stop motion" camera, through all of the streets and foot paths - keeping the camera at ground level the whole time. You could call it "Walk-through at Respite" Have a few of your miniature characters standing around. I'm sure it would be a lot of work, but it would look great, and show off all of your skills. Cheers!

[@nagasadow99]

I'm hoping one day soon you and Dan will do a collab, just have him wear your clothes and do your intro and then build some kind of cosmic horror and you do his intro wearing his clothes having him build some kind of rusty robot creature and not acknowledge that anything is different. Lol

[@AndreSjoberg]

The work you put in your videos are above and beyond, and well worth waiting for - I usually watch them at 1/4 speed to make them last longer, then I go rewatch all the earlier ones in reverse while waiting for a new one to come out

[@luketfer]

I dread to think just how long the stop motion animation parts take him, having done it (very briefly) for a college short film..my god that shit takes a while...

[@skullsy1046]

Yabba Dabba doo dah day Scatter terrain all the way! (i tried making my own after seeing yours)

[@timothyyoung2962]

Few things.... 1) I love how your videos are produced. They are entertaining to watch and funny as hell ("But they'll have to f*cking walk, won't they?'). 2) The terrain looks awesome. I need to raid my local dollar stores and thrift stores for clear domes and dinosaur bones now, because I want to make a bounty board and hydroponics domes for my games. 3) I think a cool thing to do, if you start writing your own stories, would be to occasionally set a challenge for patrons to recreate something from a story via a build. Like a piece of terrain, character, monster, etc. That would be pretty cool to see how other people interpret the look of something from one of your stories. But maybe that's just me.

[@darrenhardaway5107]

Hi bill, father of four, fledgling crafter and solo rpg player here. You talked about doing short stories about adventures in Respite, and I just wanted to mention I do journal entry solo rpg sessions using dcc rules and the Mythic game master emulator. I think you may enjoy the system. I would love to hear stories around adventurers based in the world you are creating. Thank you for the awesome videos and unique approach to crafting!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Glad you enjoyed the box Bill, thanks for sharing my man!!!🥰🤗🤗🤗

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks again!

[@paperdoll1982]

I watch KZbinrs that go months between videos and when they finally post it’s very exciting.

[@agi2711]

Entertainment first, craft second. That's why I watch and love your videos.

[@animeator]

Yep. Love these. And makes me want to read Strontium Dog again.

[@gorkamorka999]

At some point you can probably do a coffeetable book or something like that about your setting. Story for the piece on one side, pictures of the build on the other. Neat stuff.

[@IllustratorJones]

Ahhh, what a wonderful, varied episode. I loved the domes, but the notice board was the dog's doodahs. I loved it. I'm watching Bobby Fingers as I type, very funny. I love the 35-minute format. Thanks for the brilliant show. Thanks, Bill!

[@NerdAdventurer85]

The way i see it is....the next vid will be out when it's out. You have a ton on like the rest of us Bill. Your Kids have first priority and we understand Fella! 🙂🤝👍Love these builds. I know you said your board was Morbid, but i really like it. The skull with the lopsided jaw looks kind of confused. Gives it a comical edge. Great, great work Friend.

[@nathann999]

this was a great ep, i cant quite explain why but i loved the bounty board segment so much

[@Cybermunky7]

Another Awesome video Bill. That short story idea may have just swayed me to become a patreon. Love this world your building

[@davidsickles4510]

I've been waiting with such anticipation for this!

[@wileep]

Bill’s videos are one of the only rewatchable ones on the platform.

[@deborahsmith403]

One day, once both kids are at school and you have some spare time, can you please put all of your stories in a book along with your illustrations... it would be a best seller!

[@robinhood2073]

I would love to just say your art work and creations have inspired me so much to horde all my sisters old toys and go hunting in stores for little unique parts , so what I'm trying to say is your awesome keep doing what your doing !!!

[@JvdBos]

The idea of Eden fruit really works really well 🙂

[@pmac2217]

Not sure where you take build suggestions or ideas from, BUT here we go. a cool terrain piece could be a BEADBOT Factory. Like the BEADBOT's version of the Skynet Terminator assembly line.

[@SPQRKlio]

I discovered a little while ago that I really enjoy making things from kits--the smaller and more intricate the better. But I knew you'd converted me into loving scratch building even more, today when I found myself wandering the house looking for an emory board or a tongue depressor, then being ecstatic when I found a wooden disposable/recyclable knife with a rounded end. Rubbish as a knife, treasure for my build. which I'll probably cover with verdigris; I'm more a verdigris person than a rust person...

[@TheSilentW]

Very creative and unique - this video wowed me, starting with the cute sketches!

[@EFergDindrane]

You are so good at drawing! I love your sketchbook.

[@TheEmeraldElf]

Just found your channel and I love the editing style light hearted, inventive and self critical in a good way. Beating trolls to the punchline is probably the best defense.

[@dacedebeer2697]

I have the same issue with getting constantly ill because of having children sneezing and coughing directly into my mouth. I feel for you Bill.

[@iainadams9561]

Shims Bill. They're called shims and are used for door frames as well as windows, and anything that needs shimming :)

[@hoser40k86]

Bill, you're going to need to scratch build a dice tower for your Stargrave games. I'm thinking something thematic to your world (rusty and freckled with rivets) that can also be used as a piece of terrain on your game board. Also, it would really be cool that when you dropped your dice into it, it would make random Bill Making Stuff sound effects. (And if you're going to insist that your friend play at the window, you'll need to make an extension for it). Thanks for all your inspiring builds!

[@13thstate]

Hey Bill, I really enjoy the narrative that you're creating with these terrain pieces and how there also integrated with a lot of the other 28 mills you've been making. I would suggest though that your stuff needs graffiti. The whole town although probably one of the safer ones in your universe would probably still have lots of denizens putting their tags down. Just a bit of easily added painted on detail that could make your gorgeous rusty piles just that much more interesting. Cheers!

[@ethobbyshow]

People without kids will never understand what it's like being a human booger target. It just makes us stronger Bill. Great work on the scatter terrain. Idk how you pulled off writing on those tiny prices of parchment. My hands would never let me do that.

[@euansmith3699]

Fantastic work, as ever. The tedious labour that goes in to the audio and visuals is very appreciated.

[@1986fritzthecat]

both builds are great, the bounty board definitely has alot of wow factor for something relatively simple in construction

[@a.j.8135]

Turbo Dork paints are really nifty, but DON'T leave them in places where they can get cold, some of the colors have a habit of chunking up and clogging the dropper tip.

[@johncloud3823]

I was not expecting to enjoy the makong of the bounty board more than the scrap titan- the bounty board made me quite happy- and definitely sparked the creative engines.

[@rain4825]

I definitely can relate with those awaiting new Bill content, it's the kind that automatically makes my day better (along with let's game it out and mtg remy parodies). and after a while I'm like "it's gonna be about time for a new vid, I can't wait". I found the audio a bit iffy in the opening segment, it's not saturation, I think. Start at about 1:10. I really want to see you tackle the Gasmen now that you've talked about them, they give the feeling of "beware the old man in a profession where people die young" kind of feeling. Those of them surviving for long would become some sort of jadded veterans. All in all I think everyone here agree that more stuff is good and welcome, so great job expanding on the lore with every new video you make, having a narrative of sorts to follow is better for engagement than just "I made a billboard for bloking line of sights". Because, well, there is a crap ton of guys out there with billboard videos, and you avoid the pitfall of becoming more of just the same. Finally, I guess the rare kind of plant life forms on your planet would have to be restrained and monitored, otherwise they would overgrow all the rust and we can't have that, can we?

[@encouragingthings]

Oh! An underground space in Respite? Now it looks like Bill will need to get in touch with Boylei to learn to do some underground terrain! Very exciting stuff!

[@magnusgreel275]

I really enjoy your videos :) You inspired me to create some monsters out of small animal and insect toys. I'm also cautiously thinking about making a crashed spaceship diorama. I like your approach, it's very forgiving of mistakes and creates opportunities out of them. And I make a lot of mistakes, heh. The only thing I lack is access to those cool weapon pack things from the cheap store--so envious of them! Can't find any in Australia's version of the Dollar Store. Anyway, thanks for the cool videos and ideas :)

[@jule4772]

Never feel the need to excuse/explain yourself for not posting ''24/7''. It is so worth waiting for your videos.

[@Algaemancer]

Gasoline aka petrol can "frost" some of the clear plastics. It might also make an alternative to sanding for paint prep on some plastic surfaces. I learned this when I ruined a plastic car model as a kid. Being an adult I can now see the humor in foggy windows.

[@pointynoodle]

scrap materials, like corrugated iron, and 5 meter diameter glass domes

[@Verrucca00]

So nice to see you, Bill! Glad all is well!

[@MarsKng]

Always look forward to seeing new vids from you popping up in my notifications. As a one man operation, take all the time you need, we're not going anywhere.

[@DanceswithDustBunnies]

It occurred to me the reason some don't come back from the 'shaft' is there is an ancient utopia of some kind deep underground and some of the 'explorers' find it and decide to stay; and some, of course, do die in the tunnels.

[@bolicob]

You should try getting a piece of a terrain kit or a 3D printed terrain bit and then scratch building something out of/with it. Would make for an interesting video.

[@Mr_Bimble]

The dino skull with the funny eyes reminds me of some sort of burger shack cartoon mascot, sort of thing that you would see poking out of the roof of the building with a logo or sign attached.

I said I was excited for the bounty board, and I was right to be! I love all the little fiddly details, it’s packed full of worldbuilding!
