Hi love your videos ❤ KitbashCarnage hear at the age of 31 iv recently got back into the warhammer/kitbashing community agen after taking 15year brake to pay bills and so on . I have taken the leap head on and started a youtube channel along with Instagram, Facebook and Tiktok. It's hard with this algorithm thing is somthing to get used to along with editing and so on but my love and the flame for my lost passion has been reignited more then ever and dont plan on stopping soon . Along with having lots of content plans and already in the pipeline and also a Revamp to all social media with new header picture and profile picture from a digital contractor I sorced I hope to just gain more traction to the community iv came back to 🔥 Regards KitbashCarnage

[@velocion]

I really love what you did in the drawing segment, the camera moved so smoothly with the pen. You have so much dedication to the craft and the filming is stellar.

[@user-ic4tc2zk1y]

Me too

[@dylanwheeler284]

It would be so awesome if you and boylei hobby time did a collab and each did a price for each others worlds would be so dope

[@gameyybuilds]

Oh that's a super neat idea!

[@Shatterpath]

Oh that twist ending! Having the ship on an adjacent platform with water running an umbilical for the transfer might be cool.

[@gameyybuilds]

Neat idea, and makes sense!

[@staceydeller2881]

That would be sooo freaking cool

[@MagnusArchvile]

y'know, these dioramas are always so amazing and impressive, but one thing that i always find amazing is how you often manage to subvert expectations with the story you add to them

[@xAstralbody]

The grin on my face while watching this is immeasurable. So cool.

[@gameyybuilds]

Hey! Thanks!

[@DafyddRoche]

Little life hack which I thought I’d share (and wish I’d worked out sooner myself” - those superglue nozzles that make the glue super tiny, cut them. Cut them to a length that holds straight a bit easier. If I don’t, the the exit of the pipe wobbles everywhere. Why it took me 2 years after buying them to work that out, I can’t explain.

[@gameyybuilds]

Oh that’s a great idea! Thanks

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Excellent tip! (pun intended)

[@salamanda550]

The concept art of this one really evoked Final Fantasy and Akira Toryiama vibes for me...something about the shapes and the technical detail just felt very vibey

[@gameyybuilds]

Nice! Never really got into FF or Dragonball, but I can see the resemblance!

[@LifeofaMiniaturePainter]

The camera work. The editing. Storytelling. Originality. Insane craft skills. Creativity. Soothing voiceover. How are you not beyond 1 million subs or even more is beyond me. KZbinr myself I know how much time you pour into creating these videos... Keep doing the great work you do. Rewards will come.

[@BriteEyes504]

You really knocked it out the park with this one. I was patiently waiting and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Great job as usual. 👏👏👏

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks so much! It was a long, arduous process but glad I powered through!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Top notch work as always! Thanks for making cool stuff My suggestion for the empty space is a giant ruined machine of some kind, rusting away, half carried away by scavengers.

[@gameyybuilds]

Nice idea Ben!

[@ARockRaider]

i would imagine they would be the remains of whatever this AI used to install itself here.

[@ramsilva]

Amazing variety of stories and characters. To say that your progress as an artist and videographer is impressive is a massive understatement.

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks buddy!

The music combined with the story really brought so much life into this build! Absolutely fantastic!

[@jochippy]

Of all the creators i'm subscribed to on this platform, I can safely say that you're the one I look forward to posting the most!! Phenomenal work on this diorama, and the end of the story gave me genuine chills the moment I realized. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@gameyybuilds]

Wow, thank you!

[@MarcoBellocchio_noone]

Nice!! Imho, for the expansion, with an a small addition of water would be a real good idea a sort of water/flying board attached an a small pier or, a sandy buggy parked next to a path

It's impressive how much better you've gotten at the filming of your videos, and I can't wait for you to finish your book

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks! Have been really working on angles and lighting and color grading the final footage. Glad the hard work is paying off!

[@Thirikalee]

I really love your videos and builds. As a non native speaker I always struggle to find the right words for you. But know I watch and enjoy every one of them!

[@mattcanyon5806]

For the suggestion you asked for, I would say either some sort of a boat for for her to go out in, or perhaps a dune buggy of some sort. Maybe a sail powered dune buggy. This was a totally awesome diorama, and I'm very excited to read your book. And I hope you make an audiobook.

[@erinkarp]

WOAH the story in this one!

[@francesrosado9288]

I hope some day! You print this as a book with all the sketches or Diorama as photos included as part of the story! I will be one of the first to buy it! The way you tell the story it’s epic! Love every detail! ❤❤

[@gameyybuilds]

Maybe one day!

[@warlikeplate4407]

Amazing. They just keep getting better and better. The story and the world being created is agonizingly great to watch.

[@Bastion85859]

Bro i cannot believe you used to be a 3-D modelling noob - now it looks like some kind of sorcery! So awesome!!

[@riverrockproductions]

This was so awesome, I loved that you continued the story of Prison Solution and The Catch!

[@chasonlapointe]

Great build Gameyy, I particularly like the multilayered lasercutting on the doors.

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks!

I really enjoyed this multi-layered experience, I love stories and love watching diorama builds - so this was amazing.🥰 Thank you☺

[@gameyybuilds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DOCTORDERANGED]

This is the best story yet I just want more. MORE MORE MORE!!! I want to live the tails of an ai pirate ship and her crew

[@Finding_Arcadia]

Fun but irrelevant fact, structures with this same design were historically used in deserts to refrigerate food/create ice. I'm not going to pretend to know the science or details of it, but the high ceiling would let the heat rise up and out of the structure, and a shallow pool would be dug in front so that it'd freeze overnight. In the morning that ice would be harvested and stacked at the bottom, which over time would cool the ambient temperature enough to keep the entire structure nice and cool. Theyre called yakhchal if youre interested in looking up more information, its not exact but its what this reminded me of

[@gameyybuilds]

Super interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@UnpaidNewbieTV]

I LOVE the tons of extra work and effort put into the camera angles especially during the inking and painting process

[@MoritzLoffel]

I love the music in your vids. its so beautiful!

[@geesalvatierra8538]

I honestly cannot believe this man is under 100k subs,he makes amazing work,that inspired me to make my own kitbashed stuff,and for the thing that you will add i suggest a shipwreck where the two men came from,Anyways i love you builds keep it up👍👍👍

[@gameyybuilds]

I think it's difficult to grain traction with an original series. Probably doing some stuff from popular fiction would help me grow quicker, but I'm so invested in my world that I want to just keep focusing on this for now. :)

[@Gokou3036]

The logic you put into these builds is great. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@matteoaievola8643]

Looks like Boom Beach with the background and the vibe

[@tovesz]

underrated channel

[@epicjn]

I'm loving how much your skills have changed and improved through this whole series. What if there was some kind of sub-aquatic machine to study the effects of The Blight on offshore reefs? Maybe the pricey parts of such machines are valuable to scavengers and pirates

[@gameyybuilds]

Lovely idea! I tend to stay away from underwater stuff because I've had such bad experiences with resin, but we'll see!

[@earlware4322]

​@@gameyybuildsYou could just make it on the beach and not underwater...🤔

[@ApocAnarchy]

I’d love to see a rundown build that’s a mixture of overgrown and covered in graffiti with your style, your work is wonderful as always and is so inspiring for me with my comic ive been off and on working on for years!

[@MechanicalFiend]

I know it can be annoying to compare builds to something, so I hope you don't mind me saying, but this build reminds me so much of Samos' hut in Sandover village in Jak and Daxter. It turned out absolutely fantastic, as usual! All of that brickwork looks beautiful, the color variation in the painting looks so great, was definitely worth the time. Love the color palette for everything as well! So good~

[@gameyybuilds]

What a throwback, haven’t played J&D in ages!

[@ARockRaider]

it does have a bit of that vibe doesn't it!

[@earlware4322]

As always this was a spectacular story and a phenomenal build. The music you use really helps to set a tone for the video that is almost subliminal. As for the empty space to the left, you could have the remnants of some oceanic equipment dragged up onto the beach. This would explain the roving attacks of scangers, bandits and such. The Bastion's AI had to have something to pick from to create the structure from. You could just create a skeletal hulk on the beach slowly rusting, like the decomposing body of a metallic sea creature. Can't wait for more, until the next masterpiece...I'll be waiting. 🥺

[@BB_Chaptsick]

Great video and project! It is very enjoyable to see your projects go from a diagram to model. And the storytelling is fantastic! Keep up the great work

[@gameyybuilds]

Awesome, thank you!

[@nmills87]

Superb work again. Always a good day when a new Gameyybuilds video drops. Great tip on warming your rattlecans as well. Makes even the cheapest brands well behaved!

[@gameyybuilds]

Yeah, it's saved me TONS of money not having to buy the specialized hobby cans. These cans are like $5 and last for several projects so long as you keep the caps clean.

[@poppetangel]

I started getting Howl's moving castle vibes from your drawing. It turned out amazing and the story was great as always.

[@edwards5013]

Really love the world and the story’s you build can wait for your book in audio book format to come out

Out of all your stories, this is the one that I most wanted to continue. I hope we find out what happens to the AI.

Another amazing build and story behind the need for this building. Love how you used the Greebles to add to it and make them look technical and important. These must take along time to do each one but the end results speck for them selves.

In the space you’re saving for an additional build maybe some kind of parasol guided ground transportation, like a dune buggy with a parachute/parasol leading it

[@georgemoslener9439]

You could add the Auto Mecha unit walking along the beach. Or the fisherman’s mechas hauling fish as they walk up to The Bastion

[@lexibyday9504]

Hard world building is dificult at the start but, as you go allong, those details can help with future aditions making the whole thing cohesive. Soft world building is easier to start but gets harder as you go because you're constantly adding more unrelated flashy details but doing nothing to tie everything together. It works great until you're forced to revisit something that was introduced earlier and find you have to add some small details to tie things together.

[@gameyybuilds]

Well said!

[@illianalopez3155]

Omg love so much! The backstory was epic!

[@SciFiCrafts]

Fun to watch! If you ever wanna do a "build off" with something regular, one main part and then freestyle, let me know. Could be fun :)

[@patriciahamel5674]

Have you considered making a sanding box to prevent the mess when you have to sand a lot? (It’s just a larger clear plastic tub, with holes cut in for you to reach into it. You put the project and your sanding tools inside, secure the lid, and then stick your hands into the holes.)

[@YangX.L.]

This is definitely my favorite, this was awesome. Your penmanship is great aswell. Keep up your great work.

[@sjoerdtollenaar4089]

I think the building looks great, but you should add some lead slabs to cover the gap between bricks work and roof tiles. Now you created room for water problems. Lovely story, once more.

[@timobrien4220]

I really liked the story about this one. You should do a build about the ship out to sea for the AI and the undersea treasure.

[@och70]

This is such an interesting world you have created. The dioramas really help bring everything to life.

[@Solarieth]

Another absolutely fantastic video by Gameyy builds! I'm so excited for your novel you have no idea- i love this world so much i cant wait to see whats next!

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks! Wish I had more time to work on it. Progress is slow with all of these builds.

[@stonelion99]

That twist was imprccably done!

[@matthewdbranson]

My gosh Eric, this is such an amazing video. The build was tremendous, especially after following you on Patreon as you highlighted the trials and tribulations of the build. The end result though, it is beautiful and I love that you detailed it with expansion in mind. What is funny is that as you asked what we would do to expand it my immediate though was Tarkini and Mig Poyle, and damnit if they weren't already in the story!!! So we definitely had the same thoughts. I absolutely LOVED the twist that the character running the turbine was an AI, did not cross my mind at all during the story but makes an amazing little seguey, fantastically done as always. This video and story are masterful. I have told you this before but it is true that you have an amazing talent for what you are doing and I am so happy that you are engaging in that talent and sharing it with the world.

[@gameyybuilds]

Awesome feedback, Matthew. I really appreciate it, and appreciate you being a patron too!

Building with heavy brick directly onto sand like that is a bold move. The Bastion will sink or tip over within a couple decades 😅 It either has REALLY deep footings, or maybe it has some anti-grav supports somewhere within the structure 😅 We'll go with that.
