@Half-Random Jack Did you watch the video? Orks literally just bash shit together and it works. Bill basically WAAAGHed it in full detail for all to see.

[@andrewblack8635]

My 10 year old Alex was wondering when you’d do a new vid - it’s been a treat watching your vids with him. He won Gold today at school for his model of the ISS space station for science week - yeah, we’re collecting junk like there’s no tomorrow - keep up the good work, and could you feature Cat more for my daughter please. She really likes Cat.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Sorry no more cat. Congrats on the gold.

[@-MrFozzy-]

@@BillMakingStuff we’re all hoping a black and white photocopy of your face will be stuck on a tube, and cat is promoted to host and the talent…

I may've said it elsewhere but I REALLY like how much it reminds me of Metal Slug and Appleseed and them vehicles, but with the BILL aesthetic. Rusthetic.

Thanks Crafsman

God I love your take on Ghibli-esque design, in saying that, everything you do has such an awesome identity to it that if you get shown a picture you'd go "OH that's Bill!" The universe you've built has been an awesome thing to get sucked in to. Getting the cheeky preview and then receiving the notification that you've uploaded brings so much excitement to the day.

[@falsehero2001]

Kind of reminds me of the tanks from Sandland, a short manga by the author/artist of Dragonball.

That weird box shape is indeed a Bionicle container. It's actually one of the few that can be connected to Lego pieces, and is very useful for some Lego artists. I have a handful of broken Bionicle joints and arms that could be used to make mechs or robots. I'll send you some neat bits and pieces next time I pick up stamps

[@SomeStaleBread]

well I was about to read my book and then I saw this notification, and can't not watch this video. thanks for that bill

[@JoshuaScher]

Bill it’s not said enough; but your editing is so fantastic. Not only do I look forward to your builds, but I look forward to the unique and fun editing that comes along with it

[@toddbates3441]

Love it. I someday hope to have the diversity of junk that Bill has. I come for the clever crafting, immersive audio and video design, and stay for the things I didn't know about my dad.

[@christophervennix9861]

Got a ton of Warhammer Orks vibes from this. The whole build process is exactly what they specialize in - gathering broken, forgotten, scrapped and destroyed bits, slapping them together and making an intimidating, rolling death contraption. Even the colour scheme, the off yellows, rusted reds and greys fits their whole aesthetic.

[@singingReaper]

Currently getting stitches on my thumb due to a crafting based foam cutting accident so this is truly great timing for an upload, give me something enjoyable to watch and relax to as the doctor does her work

[@abesarsapos2584]

The best model you've made so far. It will be hard to get over you...

[@Sonic-BOM]

I was really concerned that your channel didn't have a catchphrase yet so I am glad to see you settled on "Rivet Time!" I feel that the channel can really grow now with this brand of marketing.

[@DiscordedSoul]

This is probably one of my favorite builds you've made. I love how much plastic you save for your builds. It saves them from ending up in a landfill and just sitting there, not decomposing.

[@jameslivingstone8267]

As someone who builds almost exclusively tank models, this build is definitely an instant favourite of mine! I’m currently working on a 1/16 scale Tiger tank and I’m willing to bet you were probably able to build your entire model in the same time it took me to connect my tank tracks together! Awesome video as always Bill! You’re always a huge source of inspiration for me!

[@Chan0art]

I like when he said "It's riveting time" and he riveted all over the place.

[@brianartillery]

The earth can't be flat. If it were, the cats would have swiped everything over the edges, years ago. Excellent build. It looks really mean. If I had one, and ran out of shells, then I'd probably convert it to a vast flame thrower. Let the Rusters know that the shells had gone - and then torch the bastards, whilst shouting over a Tannoy: "...But I've got this, instead!"

[@SCP-4680]

The build is awesome, the paint and story is superb! Btw Bill, I've converted my entire basement into a scratch build room. Between you and Studson, I was so inspired to craft again! Thank you for what you and the community does!

[@WulvenKraft]

I'm really liking the direction you're taking with your videos. Seeing the sketchbook stuff & the longer format is so much more satisfying! This would make a great Orky tank!

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

I'm glad that my comment about looking up your nose made the cut. YES! The vast amount of wheels inside of the tank treads look great. You have certainly gotten your money's worth out of that 2nd hand Hot Wheels Auto City! You're like an Eskimo using every part of the seal. Admirable. The paint job on the final tank came out great, heck the ENTIRE tank came out great. Excellent work all around, Bill!

[@BillMakingStuff]

the seal is a good analogy. Cheers T-Nu!

[@sonoftarg3793]

It's pretty smart to leave the comment stuff to cat. It sure saves time and sanity. I convinced my budgie to do the comments for me, too. She says tsheeep.

[@grimmtales503]

Bill, Bill, Bill. I shall send you the Bill. This line is mostly to boost your already nutty KZbin SEO. Go Bill, go.

I feel like your skills have grown so much over the course of the past year or 2. Always liked your stuff, but it feels like the mini projects keep getting more and more ambitious, and i gotta say I enjoy the content quite a bit. Keep up the good work!

[@samtauser1292]

I believe that the black piece is part of the box from a Ready to Robot toy. I have a few full cases in my parts bin.

[@user-fj2zp4fn6l]

I just SO love your works. Your videos is so comforting, it feels kinda like coming back to childhood, when everything was so interesting and fascinating and you loved every tw-show. I don't know why, but only your channel gives this specific feeling. You're totally a high-quality-man.

[@jesperkomstadius]

This is such a great time in the life of this channel. Crafting is on point, editing is on point and we still have a couple of months before Bill burns out and starts compromising or just post less videos.

[@amaterasu10ification]

If Bill making stuff keeps making stuff I'll keep watching all of Bill's videos of Bill making stuff. Which inspire me to make stuff! Thanks for everything Bill

[@robflexen3104]

Hey Bill and other people! Even though no one probably cares I wrote a little paragraph on The Rusters with my own spin on it, enjoy! The Rusters The Rusters are a group of people who pray to machine gods and make suits of armour, weapons and helmets out of scrap metal and rust them with their foes’ blood. They can often be found around the giant robot warrior heads in the sand, performing prayers and offerings to them. The gang has lots of different roles but the one who oversees it all is the scrap knight, a man who has wandered the waste land for years and made a entire power suit of simply rusty metal. He is seen as their overlord, their leader even. They kill anyone who doesn’t wear or have any rusty metal as they consider it “Heresy.” This death can be delivered by a variety of weapons such as: their guns made of old 21st century weapons, spears, a claw made of old kitchen knifes, a variety of swords, a sickle, a gun arm and a gun blade. Yeah… They like their guns. Anyways, the gang consists of 10 members which are: 2 scouts,2 snipers,3 berserkers, 2 guards (for the scrap knight) and of course, the scrap knight.

[@vaylintwilight]

Honestly Bill, my favorite thing about your build videos other than the builds themselves is the super imaginative lore you come up with for each of your pieces. I find your ideas so inspiring! ❤❤❤❤

[@Sharauni]

Another awesome build! I have yet to see anything in this world of yours that I don't like. I love how creative you are, both in world building and in making trash into such amazing things. I swear, if you wrote a book with stories set in your world, with your illustrations, I would buy the heck out of it, Bill!

[@MaryGatdula]

Me too!

[@LeeHobbies]

Fantastic job Bill, really like that you spent more time on the painting too, well worth the extra effort.

[@zerogbot23]

My favorite part of Bill Making Stuff videos is the "It's Rivet Time!™" part I love how it has caught on over the years.

[@gover21]

Amazing how the primer just brings it alive. Great video

[@MrTheMighty]

I enjoy and envy your design process. Any time I try to sit down and sketch out something original, I generally stall out and... don't do it. Awesome looking tank, though!

[@dashmcquivey5690]

I love the build, the texture and chonk of the track wheels was my favorite part. I think it would be super cool if ya did a large sculpture of a planet or something, maybe when the ruster world is all fleshed out it would be cool to see a sculpture of it.

[@Lee-Dixon1987]

Your tanks are fantastic. Every one of them unique. Your sketchbook inspires and causes envy at the same time ...it's quite confusing. God bless!

[@WABWSM]

Simply marvelous! I absolutely love how you reclaim plastic parts and have such a distinct creative style. This tank is so detailed and feels so alive. Bravissimo!!!

[@bluknight99]

This is probably my favorite of your builds so far! It's also come at a perfect time because I was going to try a kitbash version of the Rogal Dorn tank for my Imperial Guard army. It think it would be fun plus I don't feel like paying $80 for one model! Thanks, Bill!

[@Stigorama]

Love your vehicles and this was no exception! The story for this one was really nice too

[@bots2beasts]

Just keeps getting better and better. Bravo! I definitely appreciate the fact that the figures fit and it actually looks fat, and fanciful while still looking functional at the same time...which is hard to pull off.

[@KrisNielson-nimhrodell]

Story time is my favorite part of the videos, love hearing the additions to the world your building literally and figuratively 💙

[@Yt-jc5sj]

Bill, I've just got give you thanks from my neighbor for the baking soda trick, she's like 70 and her glasses broke and I fixed em with the ol baking soda super glue trick. Real life craft hacks.

[@philcoursodon9299]

Hey Bill, your videos are awesome all around. But I must say.....your sketchbook on its own is a work of art. I love watching your process. That is all. Keep it up!

[@sebas888888]

I totally dig your art. I built my first trash robot 40 years ago I was only 5. Then went on to other things and came back to it 2 years ago when I found your channel. Some of your tricks like the rivets really help to make the finished thing feel real and believable. And no toilet rolls don't work🤣 I'll see if I can make a box of interesting bits to send you soon. If you can get your hands on a printer in the trash it's a great mine for bits too, with all the gears articulation parts or the conveyer belt to name a few. I really love your channel both for the objects you create and that weird sense of humour which I totally relate. Peace and may the rust be with you

[@daveroberts4933]

That’s amazing! I love the way you can see how to use the junk you have. I’m an engineer and can fix almost anything mechanical but I don’t have a creative bone in my body so watching your videos is like watching magic! The back story you give to your creations is always wonderful and quite dark, unusual these days. Long may you continue!

[@mossyraven6973]

I love all your builds, but the story of this one was quite lovely. Awesome job!

[@ariannamolinari1473]

Ok Bill. You did it. I’m starting collecting junk and save it for a project… I thought this would never be my jam, but you did it! I can’t wait to start creating something! Great video and great project as usual!!!

[@auri1075]

I could definetly see it going into a delapidated city, pushing cars and rubble with its front blade, the vertivality and turrets working to clear any second or third floor of nearby buildings. While it rumbles through the city some bandits are ready to attack with explosives and just weapons, hiding behind pillars until the ambush takes place.

[@UnrelatedAntonym]

I love kitbashing with random toys, bits and bobs, plastic trash bits from mass produced productsn in order to make props, models, and miniatures of things. I like repurposing stuff otherwise ignored or tossed in a landfill if not recycled for projects. These kind of videos are great in general, as inspiration to others to be artistic as well as to look at how they can repurpose things they would otherwise throw out or give away.

[@chriswolfe403]

this was the one, the build. omg this one was it. You're very good at what you do.

Found your channel a few weeks ago and man am i glad you put out a new video because i have BELT FED all of your videos. You are awesome, keep being awesome.

Aaah these videos are so cool I could sit and watch all day, During pandemic I made a few models from scratch because it was something I really enjoyed when I was 12 or so... Most people ask me Why make all these process of putting things together when we have 3D modelling and printing, But there is something really funny in the process of finding a piece in a store, market, in the garage, streets, etc. and finding it a purpose for it that is really pleasing

[@AndieArbeit]

I guess if we could scan the resulting model, and maybe adjust a few things and 3D print for copies to sell, gift or repaint, I guess it would be cool also, because the cartoonish, improvised and interesting shapes coming from reutilized pieces of stuff is just.... so cool hahaha 😂 It reminds me when I was child and happy just because I found in the ground a lighter from which I could take many small parts ❤❤

[@AndieArbeit]

The matte first layer of grey painting also looks cool

[@Ron50M]

That fact that you spent more attention to the painting this time already became apparent during the storytelling part. I think it really paid of and it was quite pleasant to see the layers building up. Youve got some serious chops for someone claiming to not like painting :)
