Hey Brian! Thanks for the nice comment, much appreciated! While I aim to get 100 percent likes, it just ain't in the cards. I'm pretty sure I have a subscribed "fan" that is there just to dislike my videos. Usually about 12 hours after one of my vids go up, I get a single thumbs down. #hatersgonnahate #dontcare #keeponkeepinon Also, consider me a subscriber of Brian Jilg Music! Let's talk at work one day to see if we can work out a deal on using some of your tunes in a HappyTrooper video? With full credit to you of course, both in the video and a link in the description.

¬ Greetings! ~ I have been following and subscribed for quite sometime now (yet) I never placed a comment here on your videos. ~ So, I wanted to take this opportunity to say - "THANK YOU!" ~ THANK YOU! - for all the tutorials you have on your channel. ~ They have helped me out in modifying, creating these magnificent various weapons and have also assisted me in modifying other various weapons not from the Star Wars universe. ~ What I LOVE about these, is that you actually take the time, to explain (everything) accordingly, simply, respectfully and in a manner that doesn't come off as being condescending or giving off the vibe of - "I'm the greatest creator" - ~ You use easy to find, affordable - hand tools - unlike the other video tutorials that I have seen on other channels that always tend to use expensive equipment (that many of use can't afford, let alone have) - and always using it mid-way in the tutorial, including fast-forwarding the process with no explanation afterwards, so it becomes frustrating/disheartening when they do that because they use such equipment that's personally (on hand). ~ so its refreshing to see a actual - "hands on" - approach to these builds and actually explaining the various tips and tricks used while performing the build. ~ Keep creating these tutorials . . . NEVER STOP PLEASE! ~ LOVE THIS CHANNEL! ~ Respects! o7

Sakamoto Mio : I agree, I would rather watch a 1/2 hour long tutorial that goes in depth, teaches tips and tricks and talks to his audience like a friend, not a professor (that can be intimidating), rather than watching a 3 minute long tutorial that kind of just says, these go there, this is what i bought, i painted it, and it should look like this! Happy Trooper, you are the bob ross of movie props, thankyou!

Awww...shucks, you guys are gonna give me a big ego. Thank you for the comments. I love me some Bob Ross. I remember seeing him on PBS when I was a child. I have never painted a picture, and probably never will. Nonetheless, I am entranced by him. His shows are on Amazon Prime now. I put them on in the background at work. His voice is so soothing, and what he does with a blank canvas is amazing. I love his personality...just a kind soul. Everyone needs a little more Bob Ross in their lives. He is the master.

In your DL-44 project video you mentioned that you made a T-21 Blaster ...did you ever make a video on that? Would be a great help
@HappyTrooperDotCom7 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, I did not make a video on it. It was the first weapon that I scratch built...that's what got me hooked on prop building. I used a template from one of your fellow countrymen: PandaTrooper. Yeah, he's up there in Canada too. He drew some amazing templates for the T-21 and provided some instructions on MEPD.net. Because it was his template and his procedures, I didn't think to do a video on it. I did document the changes that I made on my blog: wp.me/p6OqN2-1jn There is also a link to his templates and his instructions on there. If you are good with building stuff, its not a terribly difficult build. Its a great looking gun, PandaTrooper is awesome. He's here on KZbin too, but I don't think he did an instructional video.
