Those hole-punched rivets from plastic is a neat tip I'm gonna have to try sometime! I started accumulating other forms of rivets for my 40K Ork builds: the colored diamonds from the sticky diamond crafts, miniature specialty beads from the craft store jewelry section (Czech beads, if I recall correctly; they come in a thin plastic tube), the nipped ends of cross stitching mesh lengths, and tiny pearl pasta. I've also seen people make molds for rivets. I suppose there's more than one way to make a rivet. :P

You can DIY superglue activator/accelerator. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda dissolved into 150ml water. Put it in a spritz bottle and apply a light mist to one surface and glue to the other. CA glue needs moisture to set, and humidity in the air is usually where that comes from. A light mist of water can speed up the process especially when the air is dry. CA glue is also acid stabilized, so the baking soda neutralizes that acid and causes the glue to set more rapidly. You can substitute isopropyl alcohol for the water since that still has water in it, and you only need a tiny amount of moisture. The benefit is the IPA will dry/evaporate faster, but being a solvent it might discolor or damage some surfaces.

The idea is that its either a creation from a civilization which has polluted its world so much it has made improvements to local flora to hasten the process of purifying the air. Or maybe its some super machine that is merging with anything it finds in the world, and now is taking over plants and trees. It could have pipes and exhaust pipes takin gasses in and letting fumes or other gasses out. Leaves could have patches of metal. The roots could be half normal roots half pipes getting water directly of a water source like a river-lake-pond.

Could you do a scratchbuild where the ship or vehicle looks like it just came off the production line brand new? You know, no weathering or dents? It would make a cool diorama to see like the military say "yes, we'll take 200 of these."

I've been pretty sick lately, and your videos are the perfect easy watching content that I love. It's so cool to watch your process, and it helps me burn away the time I'd otherwise spend just lying around. I'll always be eagerly awaiting your next upload! :D

Bill, great build, it fits in great with the characters. I feel the change of colour was the right idea, at the end. plus love all the ideas, in crafting/building you do. Also a star is born, the cat, spot on! I hope you keep the cat around. :3

Hi Bill! My boyfriend recently introduced me to your channel and I absolutely love it. Your videos have become a regular part of our lazy evenings on the couch. The build looks lovely by the way!

I love found items and repurposing "trash"! You did fantastic here. I went to a store today called The Repurpose Project. Their whole store is filled with things like plastic caps and scraps, metal scraps, old silverware, cloth scraps, broken toys, just SO MUCH plastic, metal, wood, etc. Do you have store like that near you? Where do you get all your "trash"?

23:45 Drybrushing silber over black does a pretty amazing job and you wouldn't even need a wash. to bring out the details.

SWEET! I already HAVE a Cat and a cargo hold load of creativity for guitar builds I guess I'm almost there! (I do what you do, sort of, with guitars). I might be bleeping out too much of my builds to do videos, though.

The sanding thingy is called a Mouse Sander [just make sure that Cat doesn't get hold of it]. That is deffinitely the ship for your Stargrave crew, a match made in...the attic!

Good luck with answering! :) I also was curious if you could do a more bold-colored paint job at some point? You do tend to like the gritty (which looks great). I'd be curious how it would look bright colored and then grittified? billified?

I tend to paint my pieces to fit with each other aesthetically... of the same world. So they can sit on the same tabletop.

An edit for every rivet? are you kidding me? I bow to your commitment (or obsessiveness?)!
