i know they are getting spendy, but i would love to see you rescue some old metal chaos dwarves, or mordheim models. this vid was awesome as always. it always makes my day when i see a new vid from you in my list.

[@commentingisdangerous7530]

awesome video. it always makes my day when i see a new one from you in my list. i wanted to suggest maybe rescuing some old metal chaos dwarves, i know they are getting spendy, but it would be fun to see. same with some old mordheim models.

[@nicholasgordon4999]

I'm glad you left the bolter as is. In my imagination, it's hanging by a sling and the space marine has temporarily slung his weapon to reach for a krak grenade.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I love it :)

[@bigtom6443]

Seeing a Space Marine in a jar as the thumbnail made me realise that the internet has ruined, corrupted and destroyed me, permanently. Great video!

[@strawberrypuddin8919]

Ewwwwww EWWWWWWW

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

it truly has ruined the novelty of small things in jars, which is a shame, cause this guy looked great in there and on a shelf. oh well....

[@joshuadavid3763]

I'm glad it wasn't just me

[@habibishapur]

I keep my first ever miniature, the free intercessor that GW gave you to learn to paint, in a jar.

[@ThomTheBear]

in my case, i became indifferent to the pace marines through the years, but it was the astartes shorts that made me fall in love with them all over again

[@Isteak80]

I read the title as "This Space Marine Was Meatloaf" and immediately thought "RIP, Meatloaf; gone too soon"

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Definitely gone too soon.

[@ggAllin5]

You took the words right out of my mouth... cough cough. Yeah, but seriously, though.

[@Titleknown]

Eh, I was more saddened about Jim Steinman myself, given he wrote all of his songs and a lot of other great times!

[@EatTheMarxists]

I’m still pretty mad that he died. Tony Todd and Lance Reddick too; both died way too soon. But Tony was almost 70 so he was fairly close to the average expiration date of an American male, but I sure as crap don’t have to be happy about it! Lance was a Baltimore man so he belonged to we Marylanders! He was our guy, dang it! At least we still have the great John Astin, another awesome actor born in Baltimore and who did teach acting classes at Johns Hopkins University until he retired in 2021. Unfortunately John is 94 years old so it’s not like we’re gonna get to keep him around for another decade or two, but we can hope and pray that he stays with us a bit longer! But I digress. We miss you, Meatloaf, Tony Todd, and Lance Reddick. May you all rest in peace and may you never be forgotten!

Pity the old chair was not smaller, it would be great if someone picked it up for an eBay Mini-chair Rescue channel.... Nice little rescue, the poor fellow needed some love, and his classic scheme is most fitting. He's a proper space marine, even though he's not too sure which end of his bolter to point at the enemies of the Emperor.

[@huwtindall7096]

The love and care on such a beat up old model is admiral

[@alexhousakos]

Space Marines are cool. I would love to build some Templars at some point since they're the most "medieval" like of them all. But I have a softer spot for Guardsmen. Being simple humans in a war of giants and winning is more satisfying in my view. Great paintjob on this fella!

[@Pyrenthius]

Space Marines are cool, the same way Superman is cool. Or maybe Batman. You know exactly what you're going to get. Sure, different chapters have different flavours, but the chapter is what it is on the box.

[@bopaintsminis]

Excellent job restoring that chapter ancient to his former glory. Thanks for giving me somwthing watch over breakfast.

[@theiceknight4457]

Mini after being in the cleaner looks like he just got out of a geller field malfunction.

[@skazkatzroy3444]

Space Marines are campy, and campy stuff can be amazingly cool and the most embarrassing thing imaginable.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That's a great explanation! I like campy, it's when someone decides they are dead serious all of the sudden that it gets weird for me, like, what happened to the fun?

[@DavidVanCleef]

NASA has a technical bulletin advising using part in a ziploc with IPA in an ultrasonic cleaner as a safe method. They came up with this over 40 years ago.

[@zacharychristy8928]

That's smart! You wind up only using enough IPA to cover the part surface, instead of all the extra you need to fill the jar to the desired level.

[@kieran2221]

Always get excited for another mini rescue video!

[@morphadge]

15 mins in IPA = Humungus Chungus and I love him.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Dude looked so good all of the sudden I almost stopped the video! I put him on the shelf and had a real serious think about it, it was a tough decision, but at least there is video to remember him.

[@EatTheMarxists]

I’m a simple man - I see a new eBay Miniatures Rescue video and I click play! Casey, c’mon - Space Marines are ALWAYS awesome! It does kinda get under my skin that the AoS sculps are leagues above the 40K ones; I guess that’s because they’re trying to get more people to play AoS? Every time I put together an awesome AoS mini (just finished putting our favorite Ratboi Vizzik Skour together a little bit ago) I can’t help but to think how much I wish they would make the 40K and HH minis as awesome as the AoS ones. I’m pretty sure that 40K is their best seller and their main money maker, so why are so many 40K sculps boring when compared to the AoS ones? Shoot, even the lowly Clanrats that came in the Skaventide box are far more detailed than many 40K and HH minis are! As always my friend I love your videos and I’m always happy to see a new one pop up!

[@HallBr3gg]

This model is a truly bizarre mashup of pieces

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

For real!

[@markhickson9087]

Great job. Space Marines are iconic. The smurf are GWs poster boys and they get a lot of stick because of it. Love what you did.

[@bonjook9670]

The beginning process of removing the paint is how Nicko Avocado stays two steps ahead

[@brionl4741]

I started with Space Marines way back in Rogue Trader, so I didn't have to paint faces as much. 🤣

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I still do that lol, though in recent years I have become quite fond of painting faces. My Stormcast army is almost completely helmeted for this reason though, I can get those on the table super quick without faces :)

[@xxSeanVxx]

I love these videos. I also respect the fact you like preserving the essence of the original (tho maybe this time I would've liked the gun to make more sense lol)

[@TheRoamingbison]

I painted my first mini in the late 80s and I've still never painted a space marine but I've watched a lot of them get painted on KZbin 😂. I got into the hobby through D&D and when I restarted about 5 years ago I added in 3d printing. GW eventually managed to snag my wallet, but through AoS, not 40k.

[@bigsi9913]

so i recently saw a trick for yellow if you put a base of pink down first then go over that in yellow you get a really good coverage and a popping yellow

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That does look cool!

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Space Marines are cool because I think they're cool! And I'm cool because my mom said I'm cool! Excelsior! All kidding aside, nice cleanup on the Ultramarine doing his Michelin Man/Death Guard impersonation. Glad you kept the old aesthetic as a way to pay homage to the heritage of this piece.

[@notapicle]

The emperors name was Johnny space and they are his space marines

[@Bachenaugen]

[@fomod_]

didn't drill the gunbarrel, the mini is absolutely ruined

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

agreed, ruined!

[@henryfleischer404]

Eh, their bolter's just jammed with dirt.

[@damage_inc86425]

I'll be the first to admit, I got into Warhammer because of Space Marine 1 & 2. I've started collecting a bunch of JoyToy figures and I think the Space Marines are badass! I grew up a fan of Halo and Star Wars so I'm a sucker for colorful super soldiers.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Nice! Those Joytoy figures are so nice too. The Armor is by far my favorite part of space marines, really cool and can be almost any color.

[@mayofrench5170]

This looks like a plastic marine from the Warriors of the Imperium box. They were slightly more poseable than the marines from the 2nd edition Starter box. The arms are set up for boltgun in left hand and dagger in the right. The chest and head were a separate piece from the legs allowing for some posing options. Nice results.

[@codybennett8516]

Casey, I just want to say that I love your videos! I have been watching your stuff for a few years now and even though I am not a Warhammer player I still enjoy the dedication you have for the hobby. I enjoy your approach, your storytelling, your teaching style, and your honesty throughout each and every video. It makes me realize as I push through some of my own miniature hobbies that it is ok to step back and just enjoy the process. :)

[@MaskedRiderChris]

A chair like that is well out of my budget! I just got a couple of good little office chairs off eBay and I'm set for now. The thumbnail made me think of that meme where you hear guys screaming in horror at botched Space Marine faces!

[@WohlfePac]

I personally love space marines but i agree with a lot of people when they say they look a little too sci fi and not enough grim dark, especially for generic primaris. I'm currently working on a Black Templars army and they are grim dark and then some, they actually feel like sci fi knights. my hope is that more bits and such can be added to other chapters to make them more of what they are supposed to be

[@morlakferg8252]

Who else thinks Jacob should put an entry in for a golden demon award??

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

its one of those reasons why I like metal models. cos I can use acetone that would melt a plastic model, but it explodes the paint from metal.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I do keep a jar of acetone for my metal minis, it is so much easier to deal with lol.

[@danielwielki3490]

good job on cleaning and painting, congratulations👌👍

[@wonderboy2402]

[@Chebday]

my little space marine jar

[@mogwiawolf4354]

If there were no space marines I wouldn't be here or be into warhammer at all and I like space marines that have actually helmets when faces are showing kinda think they look dumb and less cool

[@mattias969]

Id say they are more majestic and stoic like a mideval knight it they speak to something in us

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That makes sense

[@rokurokubi3273]

Space Marines aren't cool, but they are likeable dorks. The baggy, partially dissolved paint effect is fascinating. Makes me wonder if there'd be a way to use that as an aesthetic, maybe for a Nurgle daemon or something equally gloopy. What if it were just part of the model melted for a mutation? Would probably have to douse it in all in resin or something to stop it immediately disintegrating, but it could be a fun thing to experiment with.

[@PhilSNight]

Hellllll yeah. Your videos are so comfy, man! Very chill for a sunday afternoon.

[@blackc1479]

Are they cool? I guess all in the execution. Theyre badass in a legit storytelling sense some of the time. Other times theyre so over the top it gets campy.

[@Izayoink_Saccuy]

Why would you fix whats already perfect

[@jonbauml225]

I'd love it if you kept one really junked up mini as is for laughs

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

I have so many space marines that look just like this. I need to find some kind of fancy jar and try again, that might make more sense. The one I used in this was a cleaned bouillon jar, not very fancy lol.

[@benfieldhicks7064]

All the trench crusade hype going around, how bout an Ebay Rescue TrenchCrusade Warband Kitbash mashup?

[@Mara999]

Are Space Marines cool? I was familiar with Fallout and Starcraft many years prior to encountering 40K, so my feelings for Space Marines is affected mostly by their resemblance to Terran Marines and the Brotherhood of Steel. They also remind me a lot of the Scopedogs in VOTOMS. Overall, I like the models themselves much more than the lore behind them in 40K. So as a model I quite like this guy you rescued, in all his classic galore.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Starcraft was big for me, I only ever played Terran back in the day. I've heard, and I have no idea if its true, but Starcraft was supposed to be a licensed 40k game and ended up not working out somehow, so it's very similar to Space Marines, Eldar, and Tyranids. That might be just a rumor, but it's pretty close, and those space marines were always so cool to me.

[@Morthatron]

@@eBayMiniatureRescuesyeah it’s true - it’s the exact reason they resemble Nids and Marines. Always thought of the Protos as more Tau though

[@chilledpepsi9411]

You look through the comments for your favorite commenter, you see he's upset. But why? You look at his profile picture and are hit with guilt. The Riptide. The best model in all of Warhammer 40K you then remember that model you have... The Riptide. A massacre. You have to save him. You decide the next video has to be about saving the Riptide.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

lol, well you might be disappointed, but at least there was progress made not too long ago. We'll get there :)

[@chilledpepsi9411]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues We did almost get there.

[@ChrisOsberg]

Hm, I can only imagine what was going on in the guy's mind... He could have cut off the stock and grip, and then glued it onto one hand. It wouldn't have been a perfect pose, but it would have been noticeably better than that positioning.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That's why it seemed to me like a quick I need a guy right now kind of model. Like something happened to one and he needed the replacement asap...though I don't know how or why that would happen, it's funny to think about.

[@anonsenpai6533]

It doesn't matter when you got into the hobby, the answer is always the same; "They were cooler when I was a kid."

[@B__C__]

_Ahh,_ True-Scale 5'2" Astartes of the Tiny Kings Chapter. I think might have painted him to represent the Lollipop Guild. The Lollipop Guild. The Lollipop Guild. _"And in the name of the Lollipop Guild I suffer not the heretic to live."_

[@riccardoromano6619]

[@Ryadic]

Space marines are cool to kill. So I play Orks.

[@CrusaderinBlack]

I love the iso alcohol trick! Will this work for removing primer as well? Any tips would help me greatly

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

It definitely takes up primer, the sonic cleaner does most of the work to get that iso in and under every layer of paint.

[@channelname349]

Audio sounds a bit cooked :/ Is it just me?

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

hmm, I'm not sure, it sounds ok on my system, and nothing is different from my other videos, could be the tracks I used are just more compressed than other ones from other videos.

[@InquisitorAstelon]

Are space marines cool? Yes. *mic drop*

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

perfect :)

[@juddery]

Can I ask you what primer you use in your airbrush please? I've recently started airbrushing for the first time and I'm struggling to find a good airbrush primer that doesn't scratch off easily and I can't help wondering how well it will hold up over the years, even with the standard acrylic paints on top. ANy advice greatfully received.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Right now I’m using army painter primer. It works well and I haven’t had any issues. In my experience pretty much all airbrush primer needs a couple of good coats and left out to dry overnight to really be properly set. Even a little bit after priming every primer I’ve tried seems like it might come off, or has if the model gets too wet. The only primer that has been bulletproof for me has been the krylon 2in1 flat black primer. On a hot day sitting directly in the sun that stuff will dry in 15 minutes and never come off. It gives me trouble when stripping minis too. The downside obviously being weather and convenience. In the summer I go through cans of that stuff though, In the winter I just try and get the priming out of the way the day before I want to paint. I hope that helps, I started rambling lol.

[@juddery]

​@@eBayMiniatureRescues Thank you for the quick response and that does help and I would call that useful additional information, rather than rambling. I know rambling and could do it as a national sport, lol. I've used plenty of the GW rattle cans before, but as I've got an airbrush now, I wanted to make the most of it. Plus as you mentioned, such primer does require outdoor use, which is very weather dependent. I'm currently using Molotow One4All paint pen refills, which sprays brilliantly straight from the bottle, but even days later, easily scrapes off with a finger nail, (tested on a hidden area). Maybe I'm not laying it down thick enough though/, or maybe it needs multiple coats. I'm not really sure, as I'm not experienced with an airbrush yet. I've tried a couple of others too and this is the best so far, but compared to the GW rattle can primers, which a can't even make a noticeable mark with my finger nail, airbrush primers definitely don't seem bond well to the minis.

Hmmmm... Tough to say... -_-

[@RaVirrTheTrader]

Thick your paints.

[@skeletalfluorosis4you]

could have chopped the hands off and flipped the bolter direction. if the bolter got wrecked surely you've got some left over somewhere. same for hands... i'd probably just make some out of green-stuff or cut them out of some spare sprue and carve them then glue them on, cos analysing them space marine hands, they're literally a box, with 6 little grooves impressed onto it, plus the thumb. but yeh if the bolter, being taken off the chest, damaged the chest, you could probably just use the new weapon to cover that damage.

[@apinakapinastorba]

Are space marines cool? Who cares? If you feel they are, they are. If you don't, they aren't. If you seek external acknowledgement, then it might matter. Otherwise just nerd on full steam

[@rhino5419]

I find the space marines great for spectacular paint jobs but boring as a subject compared with orks and other aliens.

[@Mtndewchuger]

Big balls

[@Micsma]

By and large, I'm ambivalent toward space marines. I find their battleline models overly simple and boring. I'm not raggin ln people's paintjobs either, just the amount of interesting details on the models.

[@TrepidDestiny]

I'm not going to lie. Unaltered and covered in bright silly colors that would make an 80's booger sugar party blush, Space Marines are dumb. They CAN be good, you just have to treat them the right way. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I paint mine like in actual military colors and paint the vehicles like I would any real life scale model. Specifically, I painted my marines in the USMC "Marpat" cammo scheme (stippling brush go brrrrrr), with some light brown accents. Generous use of USMC decals, and cammo netting on vehicles. I also file off all skulls and aquillas (sorry for the heresy).

[@TrepidDestiny]

I also 3D print ammo pouches and grenades for their "chest rig" where the aquilla normally would be.

[@Duraltia]

I cannot help but think this whole eBay Rescue thing being staged as hell like those Vintage "Item" Rescue Videos... Who ( with access to an eBay Account to sell and ship an item! ) not only paints a model this bad but on top of that even has the gall to sell it? 🤔 I mean seriously... The Paint Job is about on the level of dunking it into a vat of blue paint, adding a bit of yellow, red and black on some of the still reachable areas and calling it quits ( questioning the whole _"the original painter really trying to push their skills with highlighting and shading"_ - Fuckin' what?! ) which is about the level of a Paint Job of my first 1/35 Tank Model I did when I was in Elementary School 30 plus years ago when KZbin Tutorials were at best someone's fever dream 🤨

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

You can think what you want, I’m certainly not going to publicly shame anyone for their painting skills. I will always try and encourage and help because we need more people painting minis, not pushing them away when they are just starting. Please though, go to eBay and tell me you can’t find a model that looks like this.

Imperium are the good guys. That’s it. “Shades of grey” neckbeards can disagree all they want. And space marines are cool, regardless of the era of the hobby.

The pictures and video with the white background are always bad, like there is too much light and they hide details and show actually less. Maybe don't use it, or try with grey background instead, if you want something different than the black background?
