[@StudsonStudio]

Thanks for the shoutout on where to find interesting trash textures! I actually learn a lot of trash techniques from a channel called Bill Making Stuff if you've heard of it

[@BillMakingStuff]

Who am I again?

[@BiGuyJedi]

I don't think I have! Is that the name of the bearded lout working for 'Cat'? Also thanks Studson, for being my gateway back into miniatures! I used to do model cars, moved on to Warhammer, then fell off. After a decade out of the crafting mindset, I saw a Studson studios video on my dashboard and watching it reawakened my interest in all things Miniature/crafting. Sincerely thank you!

[@TheCrafsMan]

20:28 YESSIR! It was fun indeed! Thank y'all for *letting* me be part of this wild collaboration! It was a... blast.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thank you friend!

[@-MrFozzy-]

Crafs….you are a beautiful human! We love you,brother!

[@shadowlicked]

all these crafters and the crafsman himself -- this is the best crossover in youtube history

[@matthewkile3493]

Awe-inspiring speech Crafsman!

[@MechanicalFiend]

I seriously think this might be one of the coolest collabs I've seen, that race was just incredible- really felt like you were all in the video together! And your bus turned out so wonderful! Be honest, the reason you used the metal grating and scuffed up your hands was to add realism to your Mad Max costume at the end... all part of the plan!

[@BillMakingStuff]

You got me... the scarring wasn't even visible in the end.

[@BPCustomCreations]

Really cool wastelands bus Bill! I use sanding mesh for window grating almost exclusively now. It's good at scale, not sharp, and already crusty for rust texture.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Good tip! Ill look it up

[@HavasiP]

I've started to use mosquito net. It's a tad too soft at times though. I'll try that sanding mesh!

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

"We basically all just make stuff and show each other, oh that's nice" Hahaha! Nice title card! I love the animation that you did over your bus to show the weapons. Very slick! Your KZbin maturity is coming along. Soon you'll be able to bring the Vaseline jar to the rubbish can. Small steps, you're doing great William. Nice use of the textured packing straps! That's a keeper. Thanks for the subscription peer pressure. It's working! : ) Based off of your video, I just went and checked my wife's bedside table and guess what? There was an icepick in there too. Well, I just replace the blade with EVA foam. Someone is gonna be surprised next time they get crazy angry. Toothbrushes??!! Who knew? Excellent work, my friend. Your rocked it. Sorry about my Dad. He's never even left our home town... he breaks out in hives if exposed to new things. Sigh.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Eva foam ice pick... what a good idea. I'll hide a camera too. All the evidence i need. She's going down.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

@@BillMakingStuff Hahaha!

[@CCMinis]

Amazing build Bill! thanks for racing m8

[@retrorandy77]

Nice to see like all bus drivers you refused to indicate once, but you're far too cheery to do it for a living.

[@MizusSparkles]

Omg I love the crafting and the dry humor as always but the race video put together was so fun to watch!!!!! Seriously made my week.

[@Danarogon]

Only Bill would make rusty bus tires. Other than that, lovely stuff!

[@matthewfelty8999]

What a wild... ride! The windows vista bit cracked me up. Thank y'all for sharing this.

[@Monkeyshaman]

Boylei coming in with a premium product as usual. 🙏

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That was awesome! Amazing collab!! And congrats to the winner, TheCrafsMan :)

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks for watching

[@olovskiPL]

The halloween latex from the dollarstore/poundshop works perfectly for masking, tried a few different ones, all did the job, for a fraction of the price. Great vid as always! Would love to say Shiny and Chrome but Rusty and Crusty is even better :)

[@BillMakingStuff]

yep it does, I was gonna show that in this episode but wanted to test it first.

[@nokiot9]

I’ve got a latex rubber plant I bought from Costco for 10$. Lifetime supply lol

[@StudsonStudio]

13:13 ow, my hand!

[@squashua3450]

Thank you. Time well spent.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Very welcome

[@DarkMatterWorkshop]

Excellent pronunciation 👌 love the bus mate !

[@michaelrabon1189]

I love the scrap building community. This is so freaking cool!

[@TomJones0065]

I Love The Bus Idea! Such a comic You are!! These Builds You guys are doing are FREAKING AMAZING! I SAVED ALL OF THEM! For Later Theft of ideas! HAHAHA!!! NICE ONE BILL!!! Be safe Take care, Put THE CAT OUT!!!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Glad you like them!

[@elgabacho73]

This is pure crafting gold. 🍺

[@adamletourneau1822]

Inspiring, just remember you did this!

[@adamletourneau1822]

I enjoyed how everyone won!

[@ALNIMAL]

Now that...that is how to do Gaslands! I hope Valhalla is treating you well Bill :)

[@BillMakingStuff]

They are!

[@GaslandsUKCarOfTheMonth]

Hi Bill, as the host of the official UK Gaslands monthly build contest, my vote goes to you as the deserved winner of this build-off! Scoring you highly for design, details, paint and overall character. Congrats!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks

[@Crackr0cksteady]

This is gonna get a little heavy for a second, but... I just lost my grandpa last night. It was a long night of being helpless and not being able to save him. I got home at about 11pm and havent been able to sleep. I shut the tv off and the silence made it worse so I decided to watch youtube.. I've only recently discovered your channel, Bill, and your sense of humor is very similar to mine, this video was exactly what I needed right now. Your ping pong ball eyes at 24:30 absolutely killed me. I rarely comment on youtube but had to tell you... thank you. Thank you so much for this moment of distraction and for making me laugh. I hope you keep doin what your doin, because your doin something right! 🖤 With much love from the U.S... Amanda

[@BillMakingStuff]

I'm glad you get something from my channel. Thanks for the very kind comment.

[@JennellJaquays]

The real winners were those of us who watched the video through to the end of the race. Wow. That was entertaining!!! More please!

[@sebastianzawierucha2237]

Love the wheels on this build. The look of caked on mud and the spikes is killer!

[@SuperVoodude]

Finally, a collab where I'm already subscribed to everyone. Great job!

[@Mr.Hous3]

You NEED to make a fallout 4 kit-bash your rust effect is PERFECT along with your post-war theme you have with the Red Router

[@motorbichael]

this was such an enjoyable video, everyone's builds were amazing and the editing was on point! like a rustier version of whacky races.

[@missminilife]

My favorite part is always right after the primer gets added! 😁

[@DontUseUrToilet]

i love that before T-Nu hits bill with the death ball, T-Nu says “adios bill *losing* stuff. probably the best part imo timestamp: 23:57

[@steventurner6902]

Five STARS!!!! That was all flavours of fabulous!!! Well done you crazy crafters ;) I laughed, I cried, I peed my pants, I lived my whole life in one big crazy race!!! Absolutely loved it

[@garygolding2333]

Has anyone done the ‘then three arrive at once’ joke yet? Fantastic build. Now I want to do Petrol-lands: Streets of London with VW camper vans, scooters, minis and black cabs all locked in a terrifying death race with flame throwers, traffic wardens and zebra crossings.

[@theoutpost9530]

And the award for the best KZbin colab in history goes to… This has literally made my week. I could watch your videos all day Bill, oh oops I did.

[@PuggleStudiosOG]

I love this one! Very post apocalyptic!

[@jayrudeart7696]

oh my god, LEGENDARY intro!!

[@chwenhoou]

Ah, Germany and Britain re-ignite their rivalry in this wasteland crossover. B-) BTW, I love the George Miller nod before T-Nu's Daddy took you to Valhalla. Bravo on your double-decker death dealer, Bill.

[@jayjeon7388]

It is very satisfying to see this channel growing.

[@timothyyoung2962]

Dads being jokes already.... as a dad... I felt that. The bus looks great. fantastic Gaslands ride.

[@Matt-md5yt]

glad this challenge is a thing and you did one awesome job making a Double Decker bus look deadly

[@forgottenmachine806]

I'm not really a vehicle person but double decker buses just make some part of my brain go brbrbbrbrr so it was such a joy watching you make this!

[@iandouceartist]

I'm pretty new to your channel, like it loads, made kits that come in cardboard boxes but never done this, I'm 62 so I better grow up and start... I love your content, filming, story telling and skills, it's all bloody good fun. Nice. 😎🍰☕ more tea.

[@Nasreenart]

I love collab videos. I have found so many awesome channels through them plus you guys genuinely seem like you get along and it is not just for the views which makes it feel more organic.

[@rachealgetscreative]

Nice bus! I like the addition of those cannons. It's a good thing you didn't take Cat with you. Now, he lives on to tell your story.

[@KnarbMakes]

Rustastic!

[@fiendishlybilly]

Even the Craftsman himself. Mister Bill is one cool cat.

[@stiffk666]

Omg, epic bus Bill but that race was fucking awesome!! All of you really deserve massive credit for the whole thing. I'm actually going to watch and like every build right now. Its the least I can do after all that effort you guys made. Much appreciated.

[@geppettoscreatureshop4605]

I'm old school baking powder/soda, but I find the accelerator is fairly strong. Although, the powder/soda also gives nice rust texture and weld lines.

[@alanrogers8535]

How did i miss this eppisode??????? That was AWESOME.... Well done everyone.

[@nalyde4901]

These videos keep getting better and better

[@nihtgengalastnamegoeshere7526]

Those ork guns work really well with the British theme- at that scale, they look like someone found a Vickers gun in the ruins of a museum and built that junk machine gun based on it.

[@Bluecho4]

Cool bus. Cool crossover. Cool Mad Max cosplay.

[@AuntieRachelsChaoticKitchen]

Hey Bill, I've had an idea for the window mesh. I watched this video last night (love the bus!) and it must have been lingering in my subconscious this afternoon when I was filming in the kitchen. My garlic bulb came in a fine plastic net. No idea how well it would work, but I'm wondering if you could cut one open, sandwich it between 2 sheets of baking paper/silicone mat, and then use a low temperature iron to firm it up. Thought I'd pass the thought on in case it's useful

[@cat9lives999]

I love a scythed chariot wheel!

[@AVspectre]

I was sitting down for lunch after rearranging some items to make way for an incoming kitten. Was eyeballing my Fury Road art book thinking it could provide some good build inspiration. This vid was top of my feed. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO WATCH!!! I just didn’t know it until right now :)

[@philgee486]

Great bus, but an even better vid Bill If you're going to make stuff, then make great stuff! Overtaking buses now makes me a little nervous after seeing just how readily all those windows are converted to a broadside....

[@alexxatchett9310]

Bill, once again, thank you for your work. You have the same effect Bob Ross had on me a long time ago - he made me unafraid to draw landscapes. I always felt intimidated with drawing trees and mountains, and he just made it easy. The same thing here. Before long I found myself making Necromunda stuff out of junk and having so much fun with it. So, thank you again. By the way, the official Necromuna set (at least Hive War) is boring in terms of scenery - just square blocks. Well, at least they can be modified.

[@BiGuyJedi]

I think gaslands is the gateway drug of miniature craft bashing. Case in point, my wife wants to make some Mad Max Hot Wheels after seeing this video.

[@FeefooTV]

you guys really really went all out on this, the outfits, each of the vehicles you made, and the story telling. I can't imagine how much work it was, but wow.. this is just seriously so well done. you've all outdone yourselves and I can't stop re-watching it. I always look forward to every new video, no matter what it is you do, I'm always inspired to create by your particular artstyle whether its what your building, kitbashing, or drawing, or painting.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks for appreciating how much work it was

[@EricDeMilio]

Love that you went with the bus.

[@PEAKCENTURY]

WOW you guys have really outdone yourselves with this one, what a great race!

[@mrmb84]

Great build, great editing, great music, great thumbnail; keep doing what you're doing! Best channel I'm subscribed to

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks, will do!

[@eastoforion]

the broadside cannons were such a fun idea for a bus!

[@thombiezoo5453]

excellent work Bill..this was awesome.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CzechAvailabilitie]

If you're wondering how Bill fits inside and other science facts repeat to yourself: "it''s just some crafts I should really just relax"

[@DevilsCustomsandCreatures]

New subscriber here. Found you from Boylei and this amazing video! Coming from a diorama/custom figure background, I moved on to diecast cars, and now am being pulled back to dioramas and scratch builds. Thanks to you bunch, I have a brain full of ideas, and can't wait to get into my shop. I have started a second channel called "Geppetto's Creature Shop", and can't wait to get going! Loving your channel!

[@kerkroberts8875]

I love the nod to Mad Max, with the Toe Cutter eye bulge death scene🤘🤘

[@Voirreydirector]

Very well done dear. Extraordinary.

[@DavidClunie]

Love the "the thing" intro!

[@matthewkile3493]

This intro is so awesome. Crafsman would most definitely rule the wastes 🤣

[@edinnuir7518]

Hah my battlebus for gaslands i made....a year ago? i did kinda similar... Cannons out the windows with hatches...a prow/ram but i made some 'solar sails' on top as i saw it maybe collected power from the atmosphere or the sun. . . . I called mine the HMS Bus Replacement Service. i need to repair it as it was a little too fragile to be taken to game nights lol. Gaslaaaaaands! :)

[@readingroomcafeproject]

funky foam and a pyrography kit! superb idea

[@canangel75]

Very cool collaboration and animation 👌 👍 😎 😀 😊 😄 👌

[@_oidaki_]

All these builds were bomb as hell, you and your collabbers

[@ecwprincezbya]

This is fantastic! Your build is my favorite.

[@ImNtDead]

"You may be asking yourself how did I get here? Well I got a bus obviously" This line made me laugh so hard I loved it so much

[@juliebradley]

This was epic! You all did amazing! Love the double decker death machine, turned out excellent

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thanks Julie

[@gambogelyght]

Mad Max content in 2022? fantastic! not gonna lie Bill, i nearly cried some toxic waste tears out of pure joy :')

[@clayhendrix2042]

This intro is awesome. Great job guys.

[@soapsuds5811]

after losing my essay because it didn't autosave this is what I needed to stop me from smashing up my monitor, thanks Bill

[@slimjim7411]

Looks cool but after decades of 40K and other hobbies I got burnt out on rivets and switched to weld lines. Basically take some epoxy putty and roll it out into a thin line. Wrap it around the panel you might otherwise rivet, and then swipe at it with a sculpting tool to make it look welded.

[@ivyjay1521]

this entire collaboration is so massively cool! You have a new fan in me.... immediately subscribed and can't wait to watch more!

[@tanyavs1]

In my experience, crafting often requires a blood sacrifice that it will take whenever it deems it so.

[@serpentartist1348]

This was brilliant. The bus looks awesome

[@christofferknight8567]

great build...................... i did buy an open toped tourist routemaster,, with appropriate scavey crew i did think you may have chopped yours.. next for me is a london cab

[@mattaffenit9898]

Yes. Bus. War bus. I like this.

[@andreas.gaming-wh9ry]

that s awsome you build bus into gasland

[@marialiyubman]

I laughed at myself so hard when my brain literally imagined you guys actually driving these plastic things you made. 😂🤣 Great editing job! (Also, my favorite is that long truck, “T-NU”? The windows vista cracked me up 😂🤣). But I love your style regardless, I just have a thing for monster trucks and trucks in general.

[@fishisyum]

This is the mightiest crossover to date. All of you guys keep doing what you're doing! Super fun video, gonna go watch all the others.

[@RM-vw3ov]

Wonderful collaboration🤩

[@PKTCrafts]

All of this was insane! So much value

[@sonoftarg3793]

If this is the future of public transportation then I stick to my bicycle. Great build and amazing colab. And tell Mad Madge I said hello.

[@fancifuldevices]

The results are amazing. Looks just like British teeth!!

[@kimmelton3697]

I loved this collab it's amazing. More please

[@carrie4910]

You make a freakin awesome ‘Gaslands Bill’

[@morganw.4711]

I love your video post-production! This is so fun!

[@bobdole8830]

Bestest Collab ever!

[@omar_l_p]

WOW! QUÉ VIDEO! Me encantó el bus, me dió muchas ideas. Gran edición. Muy divertido! La carrera fue épica (deberían hacer una revancha)!

[@davemarinas2575]

I see Twisted Metal vibes in here :D Love all of em

[@bjscustoms]

I'm loving the bus you built bill. Great work brother on this collaboration man. Everyone did such a great job
