I think Cat needs a friend, actually. Two cats. Five cats. One hundred even.

I bet he's going to get a dog next. I can't wait to see what horrible kind of goblin Bill's dog will be

[@CaptIronfoundersson]

I know you have this whole self deprecating bit that's probably only half serious, but you make amazing stuff. This is by far my favorite channel.

[@TheDavidPoole]

That tool is whatthey used to use to "punch" train tickets with when rail companies used to employ actual people to check tickets.

[@traciakierman1]

It's also used to notch sewing patterns.

[@halfcrafted]

Symmetry! Bill's worst enemy... besides Cat of course.

[@ironelemental9367]

That upper bot is looking mighty fine! You already knew that. You've seen it too. Comment for the algorithm basically. I love your work and your style! With every build, your world really feels more and more alive. 😃👍

[@Formoka]

I know Bill doesn’t want to hear this, but today’s Bot might be my favorite… It’s colorful and I really love the layers of armor plating and the triangular face plate looked really cool. I like all the builds, don’t get me wrong, but I’m a sucker for today’s pretty shiny one.

[@WhatKnot42]

Man your style of filmography and your art style are absolutely incredible... Nothing else like it

[@Stray_GM]

Thanks for including the recipe for both crustard and oil wash! Next video, do you think you could show us all how to make crustard and oil wash?

[@voggi9450]

I'm a carpenter by trade...when it comes to cutting straight lines, you need to cut along a straight line...I think a metal ruler would be perfect for a guilde for your scalpel.

[@finnual]

Watching you make little bots out of bit and pieces and having them turn out so gorgeous is such a pleasure. It makes me want to go to a charity shop and start pawing through craft supplies.

[@bretmcdowall2224]

The joke about drowning cat's kids made me laugh harder than I should've. Just what I needed today, thanks! :)

[@dempseyperry1483]

Came to say exactly this 😂 reminded me of my Grandfather, and how he justified collecting bread bags "in case someone has kittens"

[@mevl4822]

I spit out my drink.

[@APremiumDegenerate]

@@dempseyperry1483your grandfather is sick

[@dempseyperry1483]

@APremiumDegenerate he was born in the year 1900 and has been dead for 20 years, you're safe.

[@moda78z]

Same! 😂🤣

[@raven5279]

The tool you didn't know the purpose/name of if meant to create notches. Once upon a time they were used to punch train tickets, but if your tool looks new, it was likely made for punching out the registration marks on sewing patterns, extremely useful little tool if you handle any kind of flat paper pattern actually.

[@2blazedinfl]

i love the uncomfortably long slide whistle during the sketchbook drop. April fools is coming up. you should use "the shepard's tone" and the sketchbook drop never ends

[@dranorter]

It's already a Shephard's tone, tho it would be more convincing with more octaves maybe.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

It made my real cats go wild, too. From across the room they ran to all the windows to watch and wait and nothing ever came. 😅

[@TheDavidPoole]

Bill, I really hope you publish your sketch book (s). I'd love a copy of it. I collect nice books like the leather bound facsimiles of old illuminated manuscripts etc, and your book would be something id love to add to my collection. Please consider this. I'm sure that a large number of people would like a copy like me. I spend a long time pausing each page when you flip through it, but there's nothing like holding a copy in your hands and leafing through the pages. Cheers ✌️

[@FamineStudios]

Absolutely. I collect “The Art Of” books and I’d buy the shit out of a physical copy of your sketchbook.

[@Wolfineer_]

+1 would happily add to my artbook collection

[@BassoeG]

Likewise.

[@mariablundall2228]

Id definitely buy it, I did try the link but nothing came up

[@superidiocy]

This episode is the one in this series I was most interested in! It feels like a new aspect/faction you are showing us! The idea of wealth and refined construction feels so enjoyably contrasting to a lot of the world of the Gutterlands we have seen so far!

[@declanandrewbell]

i've been looking forward to seeing an Upper build from Bill. I reckon you nailed it, the lobstered plate and garish blue paintjob is perfect for those pompous ristos.

[@joneesworkshop]

that tool as a pattern notcher it is used by tailors and dressmakers to mark there pattern pieces with where they connect to the next pattern piece. then when cutting out the fabric you mark where the notches are so that when you are sewing you can check you havent stretched one piece of fabric or they havent become misalligned under the sewing machine.

[@volttherobot]

Love the exhaust placement - and how well that bot came out - they ALL look so good! xoxo

[@Adrianaisjawsome]

Upperbot is cheeked up 😮

[@sarahclarke7372]

11:52 It's a paper pattern notcher for making registration marks in paper sewing patterns to match up the different pattern pieces.

[@LtColShingSides]

The Upper-bot is my second favorite. Nothing beats the OG Bead-bot!

[@rain4825]

I really appreciate you putting in more time and efforts into the painting, especially knowing that you don't really enjoy it. It's getting better and better, and it really shows.

[@thetiredcraftsman]

This bot looks great! Very nice work.

[@charlysmith7469]

It’s a pattern notch cutter for reference points when sewing

[@juriaan13]

Ive stuck eva foam on my kids the look better now ..next up a oil wash and crustard

[@TheBatNaz]

My copy of Bangarang turned up the other day. It's a great read and i can't wait to make the bots and have no one to play it with coz i'm an antisocial old git

[@dingybaby]

How do I make oil wash and crustard?

[@crann777]

But Bill, how *do* you make crustard?

[@robertnigro1430]

Your builds get better as you go. Keep it up

[@spidergirl6150]

It's so amazing to see all of them made and the variations between them! Great job Bill!! You are a master mind in the miniature world!!

[@Lord_Azrekahl]

Hey Bill! I happen to love your upper bot! You kept talking about how it wasn't 100% perfect, and that's why you were dreading making this. In my mind, even though it's an upper, it's still being created on a backwater junk planet, so slight imperfections (even if perfection was the creators end goal) would still be an inevitability. They'd probably still be resorting to using some hand tools and the like. So I look at every slight imperfection as a sort of personalized creative signature, each particular richy-rich uses based on the tools they have access to. TL.DR - build good. Fits world well.

[@mDoThis]

Bought your book, tommorrow it's gonna be in my house. Most probably I won't ever play Bangarang but since this book looks amazing and buying it supports you - I got mine. Love your work, mate, keep it up!

[@jonnil1997]

I would lover to see you build the arena the bots fight in

[@MCMXCI42]

This build turned out super clean, love the contrast between the different factions! The different amount of eyes was a great call!

[@rexfrancorum7173]

Lovely paint job

[@lordanthrax2417]

2:30 your aggressive advertisement worked... I finally bought that book you where talking about... Hope you are happy now!

[@jackdaw3822]

Ahh my comfort hobby channel has posted again, its a good day.

[@medusaritchie]

Can't wait to see you and Rishi enjoying a game of Bangarang over a couple of cans (of coke)!

[@mallus1001]

I just got the book AND played a test game ❤love it❤ love the illustrations ❤thank you Bill

[@twelvefootnine]

With the departure of Fork Cat is there an opening available for Spoon Dog?

[@H0ll0W_Saint]

will you make more bangarang bots or even more updates to bangarang in the future?

[@ErikDavisHeim]

Dang that came out great! The four completed bots look really cool together. You can really get a sense for their unique styles when they’re standing next to each other. I’m excited for the terrain build and battle report videos. Also if you ever want to explore the EVA foam Upper aesthetic more, it would be cool to do a small Upper spaceship. Like a rich kid’s flashy car that their parents bought for them

[@speedandstyletony]

For some cheap bases Oriental Trading has plastic coins that are 1 1/2" diameter which would be 40mm or so. Check the clearance section for the best price. I got some that had a zia symbol in them(native american cross logo - see New Mexico flag) I figure this would help show the front/sides/back easier. I don't know if Oriental Trading sells/ships outside of the USA.

[@andreythefrog-tu3jb]

Obviously the bots are amazing, I reckon the weapons are actually my favourite part about these builds. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@gtw94]

Sooooo I see your physical copy and I’m gonna buy that for sure for sure BUT…I also remember seeing your physical copy of TONKS and I’m wondering where you got it. I can only find the .pdf version

[@tessaflores5466]

I love the aesthetic of your videos, they're such a vibe!

[@tonyrenouf7898]

...I'm pretty sure that hole punch thing is for marking cats ears so that they can identified at a distance as having been "fixed"...could come in handy...

[@manofredearth]

Absolutely brilliant miniature. Love that something so cool can be constructed from wire, beads, and EVA foam at that scale. 🤘

[@kirkers460]

Loved following all of your gutterlands builds! You, Miscast and Crafsman have actually got me sculpting and building my own minis so thank you! Maybe this could be a patreon-only thing, but I'd love a recipe for crustard?

[@Jully5Jullyet]

That weird hole puncher is for making clothes' and props' paper patterns. The hole it punches are, when traced, the registration marks that are used to align two adjencent parts of the pattern together ^^

[@gilbertdarisse4705]

Great episode as always, and looking forward to the next one!

[@justinmeeks303]

The unidentified punch tool is a Notch cutter for pattern making. Used a lot in foam smithing...and sewing. 😁

[@carlstanford7607]

This looks incredibly cool. Well done

[@1777DK]

The “thing” is a nudge cutter, pattern makers and tailors use them.

[@retrorandy77]

The Upperbot turned out really nice. It would be nice to see these in other colours. They'd almost be like nascar, hideously bright paint jobs and advertising. Might be nice to try a gloss coat on the paintwork too. They've all been great but the Upper is my favourite (hope that doesn't say something about me)

[@marcoherreras6536]

Really really like your current episodes script structure (Cat, sketch, build, greeble, lorepaint...). Masterful! And you’re right, you could perfectly make cool gundam beadbots with just bids, wire, and eva foam... As for the big bot bash, one of the hardest things for me was keeping close to the 60mm x 40mm scale...

[@BillMakingStuff]

There is no scale

[@marcoherreras6536]

@@BillMakingStuff Yes, I've seen that on the latest submissions in instagram...

[@calvinryder3195]

Another super video!! these are so fun to watch, thanks!!

[@ElNick09]

That looks really, really cool. Very nice!

[@junkers4561]

The first Guyver movie wasn't so bad, it had great makeup and monster designs. And a small cameo by Linnea Quigley is fun. To hit three eyes, you definitely need a trident for close combat or a three-barrelled shotgun, or better yet, both.

[@Matt-md5yt]

this is awesome my friend. glad you finished off the bots for this great game

[@jodezero]

Very nice collection of bots at the end. Great work as always. Thanks for sharing

[@TheValveBoy]

Just got my copy of Bangarang in the Gutterlands and I must say it’s brilliant… thanks for publishing it.

[@PearlJam2k6]

Funny how with the EVA build, botboy looked like a beefed up Protoss initially until you painted him and made it a Guyver. He's got a good contrast to the others, being all slick and crabby like that. I'd seal that hole in the wall too, next thing you know you'll get more CAT than you expect.

[@bjscustoms]

Awesome build for sure bill. I really like it alot. I'm going to give the the bot build challenge a go. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

[@trwsox]

They make small magnets with holes in them. Might be easier because you could thread them onto armature wire

[@nickharvey7233]

Great work - fantastic looking mini.

[@marklindsey4112]

That quartet of bots look great Mr Making Stuff, really distinctive from one another. Also, if you're looking to get another pet now Cat has gone I found a bag of till roll kittens down by the canal the other day. They look sweet, but the language on 'em!?! They swear like a docker. Please take 'em off my hands.

[@feelluckypunk1312]

Can U please Show me how to make oilwash...Just once please

[@ToonGrin]

Hiya Bill. Hope you are doing well. Nice work on the video. For those that want to use the magnetic approach what're the size of the magnets you use and could use do affiliate anazon links for such trinkets?

[@BillMakingStuff]

2mm I think. Can't remember sorry

[@usnamunav]

Should sell 1:1 scale cat kits. Great stuff as always. Thanks.

[@recurvestickerdragon]

the dominoes as doors is a great idea cuz that way you can make consistenly sized ones across multiple structures, disguised in different ways

[@BajkonurBobby]

Wow. Came out really nice. Would love to see you make more Uppers now that you've figured it out. He does feel really factory made. Really... expensive, within your universe, compared to the others. Cool! Also: publish you sketchbook. Please. 🙂👍

[@lancew9351]

Bill how do you keep the crustard from settings in the jar? Does the PVA dry if you made it in a big batch? Love your videos!

[@BillMakingStuff]

It's takes forever, and if it goes a little crusty add a bit of water

[@kurtbastelt]

Beautiful!!! As Always😍

[@marks6928]

The Big Bot Bash is going to be great. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with

[@BeverleyW]

I really like how this upper turned out and the colours you chose to paint it worked out very well too. I had to laugh about you saying you'd asked your wife about adding rivets to everything around your house, as my daughter and I have considered doing very much that, 'greeblying' and rusting everything! I think you need to get a dog to replace cat, or perhaps a tame rat.

[@City_Mc]

Hey Bill how do you make crustard?

[@Dmitriy_8791]

Это роботы для "Метро 2034" или "Сталкер - 3", "Фоллаут" или "Безумный Макс"... Очень стильно получается! 👍

[@ExplosiveJinx]

Since you asked so nicely I wanna learn how to make crustard and oil washes (:

[@miked6288]

I bought a shit ton of that EVA foam. I’ll be damned if I’ll ever be creative enough to use it as proficiently as you do. I would never guess that that mini was made of that stuff

[@dranorter]

This is the first one I'm really tempted to build, it looks great.

[@carrie4910]

Looks awesome Bill!

[@cherubael05]

I look forward to Bill's euphonious voice in every video. Loving the content and trying to convince my gaming pals to make bead bots. Please keep your unique brand of British bangarang bugling boisterously Bill.

Just love your delivery ( and Cat ) .... Did you forget his feet, boots ? Would love to see you do these on a bigger scale 1/6 ?

[@mosiarmstrong]

Bill, I would buy a sketchbook if you made copies to sell like a coffee table book.

Nice to see the complete set. Now that Bangerang is on sale I'm treating myself to one, even if I don't get around to playing it. No friends!

i think Luke Skywalker was only in the first Guyver movie and fun fact: the guy who played the Guyver in the sequel was David Hayter, Voice of Solid Snake and writer of the first few X-Men movies.
