As a kid I would take the TV remotes, almost any remote works, and turn it upside down and imagine up a slick spaceship. I really wish I would have known about this hobby as a kid or even as a young man tbh. I plan on getting into it eventually, but for now I live vicariously through all you talented youtubers as I bang on through my 12 hour shifts.

I have zero clue why this was a suggested video but I'm glad it was. As someone who loves 3D Modelling on computer (not done it for ages though), I still often lament that CGI is over-used and very little stuff seems to be hand built like it was back in the day. I love this kind of stuff. It's art, pure and simple.

Most of those bottles are made of HDPE, or High Density PolyEthylene, which is notoriously resistant to most adhesives and paints. The tops are often made of PP, or PolyPropylene, which is virtually impossible to glue - it has a surface which is oily to the touch, which is great for chemical resistance, but not for working with in a craft capacity. I have stuck it with hot glue, but it isn't a strong bond by any means. Superglue achieves about the same sort of bond, and I believe that it mentions on the packs not to use it with PP, PE, or HDPE. Even on contact adhesive, like 'UHU', which I use a lot, it recommends against trying to glue these plastics. That bottle is an interesting shape, though, and Eric Geusz' illustration is superb. I know that, if you can make one, it will be top notch. Nice one.
@SteamGeezerUK
@SteamGeezerUK 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks. and yes the bottle is HDPE. The superglue holds pretty well, although I do use an accelerant which might be why it's working. The Humbrol primer worked very well on it too - no problems at all there.

Love your videos! I might have a tip for you to try.. been making a model land rover for the old mans birthday (he’s ex army) and the chipping techniques I’ve seen didn’t really work. Salt and hairspray are great for the middle of big panels, but not so great for details. Real Land Rovers don’t get corrosion on the middle of body panels as I’m sure you know. But the bolt heads on the bumpers get paint battered off in seconds. So..spray the model with synthetic enamel metal paint, 2 or 3 generous layers. Let it dry for a few hours. Then go over it with a thinned down top coat, enough layers to make just opaque. Let that dry. Now drag a cheap disposable nail file over the model. No pressure used. Anything sticking out will get it’s top coats knocked off. Sort of reverse dry brushing?

I just have to say, Your model making is beyond excellent, your commentary and tips are even better, but I just love these scratch builds, , , , a shampoo bottle, plastic shot glass, bamboo skewer and a bundle of imagination- superb! . So what if the paint doesn’t always stick? I’m going to be doing some of this with/for my grandkids- Well done you! It would be fun if you maybe had a regular “Blue Peter “ corner, - just building stuff for fun from anything laying around. -In fact I reckon, if I challenged you to build something from an electric toothbrush, some drinking straws and a bus ticket, you’d come up with another winner! Brilliant.

This is great, I used to look at such house hold detergent bottles thinking that would make a great ship or weapons turret or fighter etc (what can I say, I love Sifi) but never actually did anything about it. And before you said it I thought that part looked like it was Astroneer.

Thanks. I'm actually going to do a proper Astroneer print one day. I tried it once ages ago when I first started 3D printing and failed miserably. Now I'm a bit better at it I really should try again.

Nice one Steve. you should have been working on the scenes for the UFO series in the 70's, they used spherical ice cream tubs that had hexagons on the outside and plastic card to make the S.H.A.D.O. Moon base. A lot of great models were made before the days of CG. Perhaps we should have a revamp of the genre Keep up the good work

I was very pleased to hear that physical SFX models are becoming popular with film makers again, as people are getting fed up of CGI, as it all starts to look the same, and the fact that there are no boundaries with CGI, is leading to lazy storytelling. CGI explosions will always behave how you expect, and looked dull on screen fairly quickly - the 'Praxis' halo explosion in Star Trek VI (1991), springs to mind. Miniature explosions are far more dynamic and varied. Duncan Jones' brilliant 2009 movie 'Moon' used physical effects models, and WETA Studios' 'Thunderbirds Are Go' series uses CGI characters alongside physical effects models and environments.

When painting miniatures the following ratios has worked for me: 80% theme colour/pattern 15% border color to seperate different areas 5% accent color to catch eye attention I wonder if you could apply this to model making or if you're doing it already.

I wouldn't say I follow any particular ratios, but I suppose it may well work out something like that, depending on what I'm painting 🙂
