SCRATCH-BUILD SPACESHIP: STYRENE MODEL MAKING

[@lasvegasnextexit1230]

A "how to" on how to make a no-budget film featuring the new ship? I AM TOTALLY IN!!!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with

[@TinyMaths]

I've been watching your videos purely for entertainment over the past few years. There just isn't enough time to be able to do all the things that you come across on KZbin that get you excited. There's so much great stuff out there. I guess you have to take your pick, take up one or two (if you aren't already full of hobbies) and watch the rest for pure entertainment. One of the things I took up was 3D modeling; I tried it randomly, and honestly, out of the blue I found I loved it, so I'm into that; yet I find your workflow ideas useful for that area too. So, some of your thought processes are useful in other hobbies; I guess it's under the umbrella of creativity anyway, so it's to be expected.

[@RobotMitchell]

Turned out awesome!!

[@shadowandson3550]

My son and I love your videos and you have helped us so much in our own videos ,thanks for all the inspiration and confidence building.

[@JvdBos]

This is a good companion to Adam's vid :-) Cool to see his ideas well executed :-D Good job!

[@crisjames4171]

Great, clearest tutorial I've seen on doing this,I've thrown too many away,given me new inspiration,thank you

[@MotivationExMe]

Great video my dude! I used to love building models and kitbashing/scratch building but a few years ago I had pulmonary embolisms and spent a few weeks in hospital. Since then my hands shake horribly and I can't do any small detail work. Videos like yours and Savage's keep my spirits up. Thanks 😊😊😊

[@SAOS451316]

that's a pretty cool ship! it looks like it has a good story.

[@cynicalmamc]

I've been scratch building and kitashing ships and mechs and speeders for years and that is a very professional looking build, well executed, I doff my cap to you sir

[@HocusFocusProductions]

I'm amazed at the detail in that small of a scale. Very nice work.

[@AdairTheSkull]

You are the best. I always direct people here when they want to make props or even some small models for things like table top wargaming and things like physical D&D stuff.

[@DanielS2001]

Adam also has tutorials on scratch building and kitbashing models under his One Hour Build videos. I definitely recommend them. :)

[@snakemasterthorno]

Cheerful as usual. Love your ship, special the colors you used. The metal paints with the weathering makes it look like a solid metal piece with weight. I am happy i found your channel a while ago. Hope to see a lot more of your video's in the future.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Styrene is king! Great stuff man!

[@CamberGreber]

That paint job was awesome.

[@JamesAshwood]

That came out really well. Looking forward to seeing it in action!

[@Gabrong]

this turned out to be pretty cool! nice job!

[@thedarkknight803able]

Awesome build!💥😯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😁👍🏿

[@crackin2000]

You do a good job of making these timeless.

[@MonkeyMcVader]

Awesome build! I also saw that video by Adam Savage , and went out to the hobby shop to buy some solvent and polystyrene. I have not made anything yet though. That final Red / Copper / Bronze color with the pyramid-triangle engine made me think SG1 Goa'uld. The shape and cockpit design made me thing Battlestar Galactica (1978) fighter ....

[@seanmeadows129]

Great video Anthony and a cool looking ship. Definitely looking forward to the film with it in. Thanks for a fun and educational video.

[@jean-pierrejoubert2438]

Nice work man. Solid design and pain job. Love the way you ‘discover’ things in the build. Inspired bro. Thanks for sharing

[@jasoncreech4486]

Congratulations keep up the great work.

[@radioface3306]

I think I am going to name my next cat, “Greebly.” This channel is fun to watch.

[@nathanmorris2023]

Great ship. Lots of inspiration in that video (and your others as well).

[@mtsklar]

That is a cool little build !

[@bleedingflesh224]

You are one of my favorite human beings.. needed something light hearted just found out my friend died..

[@davidotoole9328]

I watched the other video first a while ago. This was useful, to see how well it came together fo you.

[@TheAtariCreep]

Dude! Nothing wrong with Dollar Store builds. In fact, right now (while watching this) I am making a 12" Bootleg Scareglow figure using a 12" ninja figure and skull that had slime in it from Dollar Tree. Keep doing your jam and pay no mind to the idiots questioning others art/craft.

[@paulfuryes203]

Amazing build very cool going to love to see how that looks on film keep up the good work Anthony I love watching your videos and I've learned so much.

[@ClintCarneyCreates]

That turned out awesome! Great work as always!

[@scratchcrafter]

styrene is fun to play with... I usually go to home depot and buy the "For Sale" signs which are a few bucks but are a large styrene piece that sometimes are different thicknesses.

[@OtisMcNuttIII]

I love the idea of the "Gaping Mouth" in the ship. In my mind the purpose is a kind of "Scoop" that that guides Space Born particles into the engines as kind of a way to synthesize fuel. Like say you need to "top off the tank" so you zip into a Nebula and "fill it up" using the molecular cloud.

[@VargasVault]

Love seeing your builds! You make it seem so easy and right on my budget

[@imetvnj]

Great work! you always inspire.

[@Forcemaster2000]

Came out really cool!

[@colossalbigfoot256]

I used to follow this guy that scratch built ships using nothing but styrene geo shapes, but mostly sheets. He’d stack them up and the end would look like a star destroyer. They weren’t that big and ended up using over 100 pieces. They were awesome. There’s not much on YT in the way of this method. Search him out but you likely know who I’m talking bout. I picked up a set of Gundam chisel’s that really help too. Get a good set like madworks..

[@mikkimason4716]

love it, i`m with you on the wing thing, i prefer them, that model looks quite similar to a viper from galactica, keep on doing it , im learning loads here

[@KensToys74]

Love the ship! And wings do belong on space vehicles. Just like an old school Cadillac. Funny story though... I used to date a dancer who's stage name was "filthy fingers" and she worked at a club called, "The Gaping Triangle "...

[@scottmantooth8785]

*could test this idea off camera but think about using a wood burning/pyrography pen to create some battle damage for some of your models...would not have to be excessive but a few scars here and here would indicate the ship had at times been in locations it was not at all welcomed or was transporting cargo obtained by less than scrupulous means* *excellent video as always Anthony*

[@CinematicDreams]

I’m looking forward to a great short film featuring this ship. Your film will look great like your Star Wars fan film. Please be careful with the green screen though. I don’t want it to turn into a Zenith Run look. I’m sure you’ll show us script to screen in your how-to video. I enjoyed as usual. The best to you, Anthony.

[@euansmith3699]

"Why do you need wings in Space?" "It's not a wing; it's an S-foil! Now, lock them in attack formation! We're in position. I'm going to cut across the axis and draw their fire!"

[@cynicalrabbit915]

This *is the best ship* you've built. All the others are so *busy* , yes they look interesting, but I've never seen a TV or Movie spaceship that looked like it landed some where and the people on it said, *we need to add a bunch of scrap". The shuttle didn't have a bunch of parts sticking out from the hull. Everything you add on the outside affects handling when even grazing the atmosphere of a planet, and the reason for putting wings on a spacecraft is "because it's going to land on a planet" the Firefly ship didn't have wings, it had antigravity and huge engines. What it didn't have was a bunch of junk stuck all over it. Greeblies are great, but less is more. I think we need to start thinking like engineers and less like 5 year olds when it comes to spaceship design. Common sense and logic are our friends. Otherwise we just have a bunch of weird looking ships that we painted gray to hide the Bedazzling an 8 year old girl did to it while our back was turned.

[@finsantos4630]

Cool, so cool!

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@dominiquea.j.lallement228]

Two of your “sausage-fingers”give a perfect idea 💡 of this fighter’s scale! Good shot!❤

[@createscifi]

😁 I have ten sausage fingers!

[@dominiquea.j.lallement228]

@@createscifi and used so well 👍

[@dannyd464]

Nice you made a colonial viper without wings.

[@MeBeTheDB]

*_Perhaps consider ... adding a large pair of cantilevered GULL WING-like appendages and this could be on a planetary 'railroad' on Ceti Alpha 6._* That way, it's a Pod Transport and thus no need to fly as this planet is too, etc, etc, etc. and they always go to the underground stations. Good making, amigo. Stick with it. D.A.

[@joevespaziani]

Thanks for making me get off my butt and dig in to my bitZ box : ) Great content as usual!!

[@RogerWaggener]

Nice one! It looks very Blake's-7 ish to me- and I mean that as a compliment ;)

[@ethobbyshow]

It's so funny I just built a spaceship after watching the exact same video! Hahaha

[@mikesplanations1105]

Hey man, really great video! Where do you get your universal greebles? I have been trying to source some but having trouble and don't wanna buy a whole anzio annie if possible

[@voltage3d469]

Love it but, it needs a detachable hyper drive. Keep rockin bro love your work!

[@RandyZimmerman-pp5wj]

Where did you get the styrene shape

[@draped_in_black]

Cool.

[@JGHMAKINGTOYS]

Cool

[@forrestcrabbe]

🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘 Edit: dunno how much you build with styrene, but, you can collect all yer scraps into a glass jar and pour in some m.e.k. (methyl ethyl ketone) and that will make a styrene slurry that works very well for filling cracks and whatnot when yer building with styrene. The ship looks great 🤘🍻🤘

[@MrCornrowz]

“Why do you need a wing…?” If the vehicle functions in space and in atmospheres, the wing assists atmospheric flight. Once in space, the wing is just aesthetic. So, in a way, it’s a functional style choice.

[@spikedpsycho2383]

how do you do "organic" designs without straight lines

[@HandMadeFilms]

lit

[@-MrFozzy-]

Very cool! Also….you seem like a lovely human….strange comment…maybe…but I like lovely humans…and they deserve to know it’s appreciated

[@realbadger]

😃

[@Zoie3x8]

15:51 anthony froh - greeblies are part of my religion. :D

[@laroark5036]

Where is the link to the knocher or nocher ?? Please help

[@createscifi]

[@dabuel247]

That would be a cool hero ship that was secretly hidden due to its special weaponry and AI.

[@SaskiaWilson-Brown-it6vs]

❤

[@mxferro]

Usage of the word "like" is spiking to the max on the meter in this video. Fun build...please eliminate 'like' from your vocabulary

[@Darkeklaw]

There's another creator who does this too. It's Sublight Drive. www.youtube.com/@Sublight_Drive He even has some patterns people can buy to make their own versions of his original ships (Three patterns so far)

[@createscifi]

cool

[@deltafour1212]

New to scratch building. Correct me If I am wrong but from what I am seeing, scale size really isn't all that important when it comes to scratch building SciFi ships.

[@wormdriveshow]

I wish you were my neighbor

[@hardluckhenry]

Not everyone can afford a 3d printer

[@guyrollf8956]

Yes, yes, yes, good idea, just start playing with wedges. We already know that John "Dicstra?", I know that's misspelled, established back in the 1970's that "Wedges look good against a dark, star filled background". STAR WARS, Battlestar Galactica can't be wrong. So, cool idea, dude, keep playing with wedges.🖖😎👍

[@MiamiMillionaire]
