Happy Birthday, Bill! (That is, when it's actually your birthday.)

[@markus_glevera]

where glamour shots this characters with there buildings?🤤

[@madmachanicest9955]

Bill I have to say that even if you think those models took forever to make and paint they turned out so well it's absolutely worth it. They're fantastic little pieces of Art and I think you're a fantastic painter when you actually put in the effort to do it.

[@IllustratorJones]

Yeh, I totally agree. Your painting skills are brilliant. It takes me ages to paint a figure.

[@Bluecho4]

Agreed. Bill really knocked it out of the park with these models. Both kitbashing and painting.

[@Wildonion1]

If your Stargrave band has ten minis, then it sounds like we need a part 2 and a part 3 as you work your way through the remaining six!

[@AnnMiE]

Every time you say "The build" I can't help hearing "The Billd", which is such a terrible pun that I take self-inflicted psychic damage. I enjoy everything you make. Be it a lino cut, bead bot, kit bashing, or even crustard.

[@moda78z]

The paint job is amazing, Bill! “Boring time” is actually my favorite 😍

[@Matt-md5yt]

Same love his lore segments

[@Gloomwalker08]

Likewise! Love me some Bill stories!

[@brandonmack111]

The combination of seeing how he paints stuff, and hearing the lore of the things he's painting, makes for a very entertaining segment.

[@bonefactory1393]

If you want to fix the weight issue, just glue a metal washer to the bottom of the base. It puts more weight on the bottom and it allows for you to store them in a magnetized storage box if you want also

[@HolyCowCreates]

Your videos (and creations) have such a unique style. Keep doing what you do, Bill! It inspires us smaller creators.

[@gilbertdarisse4705]

Any day with a new Bill Making Stuff video is a good day! I love the story of Respite, and it's really cool how it's all coming together. A diorama of the people of respite fighting the Rusters would be pretty cool at some point.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

NICE Logan’s Run reference!!! You don’t see those these days from the damn kids and their…YOUNGNESS. Hehehe ❤😂

[@SPQRKlio]

Wishing you a Happy not-41 (in a while). As the old folks say, live long enough, you gotta get old. And you’ll eat a pound of dirt. Is what my grandfather said.

[@Nomortem]

Love these designs! Each character casts an amazing distinctive silhouette, and their stories are all really fantastic! The paint jobs all turned out awesome too! Great work as always Bill!

[@Joooooooooe11]

For someone who disparages painting so much and is somewhat self deprecating about it, you are a damn good mini painter. The contrast you manage to get out of your shadows and highlights looks awesome. These turned out great both from a conversion viewpoint as well as painting

[@euansmith3699]

"... but, then, he reapplies the makeup..." 😄😄😄 Bill really is the triple-threat; kitbashing, painting, and making great fluff.

[@yotyytoy9294]

That was brilliant, I almost didn't catch it.

[@kevinyoung5499]

A little spider smoking a tiny pipe sounds both adorable and disturbing.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Your Mr. Mayor design reminds me of a cross between ex Imperial Guard (40K), but with more of a train engineer vibe. Maybe the old guy from the original Mary Poppins, too. I love your designs and sketches. You’re so skilled!

[@TheDIRTYDORK]

Happy birthday Bill!

[@dialnfornick]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉

[@ianclark9659]

I was gonna mention it on your crab tower, but seems more fitting now - I know you've traditionally disliked the painting process, but you've come a really long way!

[@ianclark9659]

Well fuck me, you even mentioned it in the vid. Yeah, job done.

[@nicholaskarako5701]

So basically Tinker Tests is like The Junk lady from Labyrinth. A pack rat with carring 19-22 stones of stuff on their back.

[@NerdAdventurer85]

Oooh! You love your multishot atom destroyer don't you deeeear yes yes yes! 😂

[@este_Pandy_Projects]

You should try to visit Quintron on your New Orleans trip. I imagine you might like their stuff.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Martin Quintron is THE BOMB!!! : )

[@originalnamehere7308]

I could not have thought of a better way to start off my day. Bill is absolutely one of, if not my #1 favorite creator. No matter what the video is about, it's always a great time watching

[@littlebacchus216]

Happy coming big four zero! I'm seven years ahead of you and I'm sorry to say its an adventure... mainly of your GP telling you you don't have an injury or condition when your back, knee shoulder hurts when you got out of bed as injuries no longer come with an anecdote.

[@CCMinis]

Lovely paint jobs Bill! They turned out incredible. Looking forward to some Louisiana meat tourism soon

[@BillMakingStuff]

I'm looking forward to your meat too

[@CCMinis]

@@BillMakingStuff Neat

[@arsoncreates6375]

I remember the first time I tried kitbashing. I was really young, eight or nine maybe. I used to hang out at my local warhammar store with the owner and his friends, so I accumulated a little pile of everything they didn’t want and I’d make ridiculous creatures out of it.

[@JCPRuckus]

Definitely glad you decided to build some minis that needed more serious painting, otherwise we never would have found out that Rusters *cook people's limbs just to chew up the meat and spit it out as a form of physical and psychological torture.* Which is one of the darkest things I have ever heard in my life... 😳 Also I love how the Landy has never even heard of leg day... Lol

[@catalin2766]

I just like imagining your neighbors seeing you get out of the house and just saying "Martha I swear if he comes back with another bag of guitar strings and bottle caps I'm gonna lose it!"

[@MaryGatdula]

LMAO! Had me crying!

[@oddsparten13]

There is a cool hobby shop in central PA, Bill. It’s probably only a few minutes away from New Orleans.

[@TheAquaYoshiDingbat]

The townsfolk look incredible and I absolutely love the story behind each one of them! I would definitely enjoy meeting the other citizens! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity!

[@jasonrhome710]

You'll be 40! You'll be 40! One of us! One of us! (Happy birthday!)

[@jasonrhome710]

Also, those turned out great! Time to go see if there's any photos of them in Respite on your other web domains...

[@_LeoO0]

Oh! Happy Birthday!!! 😮🎉✨

[@phm6834]

Super awesome! Its impressive how your designs are somewhere between fallout, borderlands, warhammer, generic steampunk and weird west... but still unique. Not too toony, not too grimdark, just right amount of weirdness. In case you ever want to have someone create 3d models of your scribbles to either 3d print or manufacture, Id really love to help out, since Im 3D artist and such...

[@SinfulSeraph]

I truly enjoy your character/monster creating vids...I find them to be the most captivating of your tremendous works.

[@W._Langman]

Wow, they turned out amazing, Bill. I loved the story time too. I think I have a soft spot for Buster. If I had to hang out with one of them, I'd go monster hunting with him😊

[@TinyRobotED-tm9rs]

These look amazing

[@jerrybailey5797]

Great job on painting miniatures, have a nice time in New Orleans , watch out for alligators , take Buster Dowell the Butcher guy with you just incase , alligator meat is probably very rare on his planet

[@purplethunda8863]

If you're visiting New Orleans, I expect a giant crocodile monster build in the near future to commemorate the occasion

[@DragonBoi3789]

An idea I just had. Since Respite and this whole planet is a giant desert junk heap, it seems like someone who owns a dedicated wash house would be a somewhat necessary service for the town. Specifically Mr. Mayor so he can look after his heirloom military gear, but others as well for appearance and general maintaining of their stuff so it doesn't disintegrate nearly as fast. Maybe this wash house would primarily work with air blasting or 'dry cleaning' as a practical means to get the dust out the cracks. But maybe there's also a special wash room with clean water reserved for higher paying customers. Maybe even a bath house of sorts? And there could even be an acid bath as well to clean up the rust from any metal bits people in town need cleaned for whatever reason. Just a thought, take it if you like.

[@CommNagrom]

i too was hoping for Bead-bots Bill! next time perhaps! this is a great video, keep up the good work!

[@sackofham]

While in New Orleans you should go to that place, you know, with the stuff.

[@juriaan13]

Cemetery?

[@cavemanbob82]

Loved the models, the backstories, and especially the paint jobs. I hope you enjoy your visit to this side of the pond, and get to experience the history available in NOLA

[@wittlegoblin]

Tinker Tess has a big head 'cause it's full of cool ideas. These are great, so fun!

[@RoadWarrior_John]

These are some great scratch built characters, always look forward to hearing more about the world of rust bite. Although I'm a little worried about the rumours, that Postie Jak Nam is considered armed and dangerous, ha ha ha.

[@ManglingMinis]

Hell yeah, great stuff!

[@CGossRunnn]

Wait ... Bill using actual mintures and bits? Detailed painting that isn't rust? *looks at calander* No it isn't April Fools day. Haha All kidding aside I love these. Can tell each character has a story. Love your builds

[@darkaiel]

It's very hard to pick a favorite but I think Tess wins by a hair. Very inspiring work!

[@livanbard]

Problem with sticking with plastic is that most models are period stuff. Actual Sci Fi is limited to reaper bones and the few stargrave kits. The rest is GW copy cats.

[@AsteroidKiller]

I am totally blown away by how good you are! 🙌

[@carrie4910]

They look amazing Bill! Happy Birthday! Hope you have an awesome day. Safe and fun travels!

[@qualityclipscentral2876]

My favourite part of each vid is always the sketching. Watching you draw is very interesting. I can’t imagine half of the stuff you do!

[@SadPinkDino]

Another amazing video bill, your painting is so amazing and the stories you come up with are so inspiring! I’d love to see more people of respite, and maybe some of varying cultures and ethnicities

[@YuanMekong]

I had a history teacher called Mr Mayor, he didn't have a bionic gun backpack though.

[@craigcomer3624]

Hey brother!! Is that a mad ball? I haven't seen one of those in years. Great content. Thanks for everything!!

[@evankiefer3467]

aargh!! the composition of you sketchbook is so awesome!! I'm jealous!!!

[@toxicara]

Good job, have a good holiday.

[@Lunareon]

You did an awesome job with the painting! Mr. Mayor obviously needs an office now, one that has the walls lined with paintings of his predecessors. Also, what if...a miniature version of The Cat to take along on your travels...

[@TinyRobotED-tm9rs]

"You're wanted in 68 countries" New lore unlocked

[@NerdAdventurer85]

I always love the way the bits look a little off at first, but then you prime them, and then it pulls the entire thing together! Awesome! Mr. Mayor's my favourite. I just love that dramatic pose and crazy pipe. 😂 Tess is great too. Love her mountain of supplies on her back. 😉👍 Great stuff Bill!

[@hjorturfreyr]

You are a much better painter than you lead us to believe! When I paint minis there are 3 tiers. 1 hour - tabletop standard (monsters for DnD) 4hours - deluxe table top standard (PC for DnD) 10+ hours - showcase standard

[@marklindsey4112]

Might have taken you a while Bill, but dayum those are some fine looking minis. Excellent job and 'appy birthday.

[@wynock8067]

Honestly, that's a very nice paint job. It's not like those pro channels, it's a fairly achievable result with decent methods. Really liked it !

[@izaakjohnson2723]

I'll be sending you a care package Bill! Full of MY son's toys.

[@therustmonster]

Loved the characters and story! The extra painting time not only pays off visually, but also means more story time with Bill. Can't wait to see more of Respite and Tapu!

[@МарияРоманова-в8ь]

you can't imagine how glad I am to see the work with the characters from you! not only because people's design is interesting, but also because it makes the universe come alive more and more.

[@The_pringull2]

30:09 I realized that the mayors mounted gun is the gause rifle from fallout 4

[@sheerbeauty]

18:03 - happy traveling and bring back lots of pics! Especially of Crafsman!

[@iamgrays]

Logan's Run!!! I true sign that you are more mature (in years) gentleman.

[@duckduckling7844]

cool👍

[@rachealgetscreative]

Take CAT to New Orleans! You could drop him off at a voodoo shop and see what he gets up to. :)

[@benjamindebo9283]

Respite is such a cool world and would make for the coolest DnD/Pathfinder campaign ever.

[@emmamarx9284]

Great builds!! Love them!!

[@marrslieb]

Hi Bill! I just wanted to say I LOVE your videos! I actually just stumbled across "How To Make Scatter Terrain With Trash", but I'm leaving a comment here because I think it's more likely you'd see it. Most often I come to hobby videos to learn new techniques and get ideas, but I appreciate how you make your videos and the style so much. Never had I thought I would be considering the CINEMATOGRAPHY of a hobbying youtube video?? Your personality and sense of humor is enjoyable, the shots are engaging, the editing and music selection are superb, but most of all these are FUN to watch--all while I'm learning new techniques. Like I'm blown away man. I am confident I could show your videos to friends who have no interest in our hobbying and they would be engaged. Apologies, if its a bit much to leave this type of comment. Just wanted to say the obvious level of passion and creativity that goes into your videos is inspiring, both for my hobbying, but also for other creative works I'll do. Hell, I hadn't even got halfway through that video and I had to come drop a comment hahaha. Very looking forward to going through your videos and learning while having fun! Well anyway, have a great day if you see this man!

[@BillMakingStuff]

very kind cheers

[@Wakka9000]

Lets see, is it some collab, no? Yay!

[@markusvurrgh4549]

Excellent work Bill. For someone who doesn’t really like painting you paint pretty dang well.

[@619Slipk]

The man even pulled out the citadel mini holder You know he's serious about that painting this time

[@McTacoDelight]

Yes, more miniature painting please! I love your style, it's punchy and readable and a lot of fun!

[@powersave2]

Always love you concept sketch phase! I enjoy the thinking and processing the most wish more people would do it!

[@moda78z]

Happy 45ish!! 🎊😁 In a few weeks! 😁

[@joshlegendre]

Fantastic vid! Great kitbashing, great painting, great lore.

[@lukaspisel9558]

Man I am so inspired by your videos every time! I am going to try to refocus on character in my painting now and maybe try my hand at kitbashing for the first time. Keep up the series, so good!

[@PigGibbon]

Love the lore. Love the characters. Can’t beat pipes and crossbows. Thank you for another top video

[@MaryGatdula]

Awesome painting! I don't know how you get such detail on such tiny spaces! And I love the stories. Boring time is my favorite time!

[@earth2becky]

Wow, Bill, those are beautiful! It’s cool to see how much you’ve evolved since episode 6. Very nice!! 👏🏻

[@ExplosiveJinx]

I love that intro voices for the sponsor are getting more and more normal each video (: Nothing wrong with them.

[@jacobrhoades2471]

🎉happy birthday🎉

[@litrik62110]

Very characterful characters ! My favorite is Tinker Tess, but I think she didn't have enough backpacks.

[@AvocationNation]

I love your kitbashes, character design, AND painting! Happy birthday, Dad.

[@iamhocus]

Best table top channel on youtube 🎉 happy birthday

[@bhoy1989]

Can't wait for part 2 and more minis. Can we get the crazy scientist type ❤❤❤ What about a cat mini aswell ❤

[@saggeweea1873]

"Knife was too big. Far too big" Laughs in crocodile dundee and Japanese protagonists

[@ericrylands2860]

Thanks!

[@Saporling]

When I see a new Bill video I always save it for a rainy day, it's like that nice little chocolate bar on the top shelf of the cupboard, you don't binge eat Bill videos, you savour them...that does sound very creepy typing it out.

[@nickben1447]

Fantastic!

[@xmobile.]

Ahh! So many cool creators all in one place..I used to live in TX and new orleans, LA was just a day drive, but now i'm too far away in PA.

[@intzbk1]

Wow, excellent video! Quite refreshing and I enjoyed how you went through the design process. The townsfolk turned out great! Tinker Tess is my favorite but they are all splendid!

[@MorganMakesThings]

These are excellent! I love Jak Nam. The painting is once again phenomenal.

[@junkbarbarian]

I loved these. Some of them didn't look like much when you were putting them together but the finished product was awesome. Especially loved Tinker Tess.

[@centerededgedesignusa7957]

Great work Mr. Making Stuff! Thanks!

[@adamwatson6693]

Great vid bill. 👍 hey have you watched any of Jagerhead's vids? They are fairly simple builds but there's some great ideas. Check him out.

[@zeterzero4356]

This is the kind of miniature stuff I love. Cool stories, cool characters, cool paint, laid back host. Love it. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

[@volttherobot]

Love the minis, especially Tinker Tess! Hope you have a nice visit to the states and have some nice time with those other Crafty folks. No racing to the death, (play nice this time gentlemen), but Bill, I will be VERY disappointed if you don't arm wrestle Bee-Nu at least once during your time there. Betcha he'll win (It's not so much his strength (which is SUBSTANTIAL), it's that he gets in your head while he's gripping your hand...he leans in REAL close and whispers things like "Bill, I'm gonna tickle your beard and give you a KISS")... Actually, I think his wife (who paints) can beat you as well, but she's been known to stomp on your foot "by accident" right before you lock arms...ok that is a TOTAL lie right there... PS - have you seen Firefly? (sorry If I asked you that before) and also... Happy Birthday!!!! xoxo -Volt

[@chrismonreale4888]

I agree 100% with Volt. I think it comes down to the fact Bill keeps his beer in a dark and warm closet. He likes the “head”. 🍻
