RIP to your mental state during that rivet edit, unless you're the sort of masochist that likes that sort of thing. Excellent use of person plastic, too!

[@BillMakingStuff]

I had you there rubbing my feet... that helped

Bill may be addicted to rivets and rust. You have to stage an intervention.

Uncle Bill, this one had a super nice look-n-feel to it! And the RESULT is the part that always grabs me. I tried to watch this one as a regular viewer, not thinking about the editing and such involved. (OH, and I commend you for the shot changes. I know that mess is frustrating, but it really does add value to the video.) Excellent!

Since you said you will answer all comments: Have you ever tried water mixable oil paint for oil wash? I switched to water mixable for paintings and tried once to make oil wash but I think it looks sticky (shiny)… The benefit is not having to use mineral spirits.

[@1988kacy]

Are the miniatures standing under the ship to show it's scale, or is it cause you forgot to model any passenger doors? Nice build though very chunky battle star galactica fighter that ate too much like the red car in the old animated milkyway advert. : )

[@BillMakingStuff]

Nope

[@BillMakingStuff]

[@KnarbMakes]

Good call repainting it, looks really good now. You should try gouache sometime instead of oil paints (not sure if you have already). Might help with your cancer situation, reducing it that is.

[@icantthinkofanything798]

This looks really really cool. I can't tell you the toll it takes on my mental health when I make something cool then accidentally paint it like a piece of garbage. Definitely a fan of the vehicles/ships genre of your videos

[@BillMakingStuff]

it did... then I repainted it

[@Paintedfigs]

Loved the stop motion riveting sequence. The Santa scheme had a lot of character, I think if the undercoat had been black instead of silver, you might have been happier with it. Very pleased you included the problem with the scheme and the repaint, its nice to see the journey you took!

[@BillMakingStuff]

The undercoat was definitely the main problem

[@richardlemmens6848]

Has a very Red Dwarf/Star bug feel to it. Which is awesome.

[@BillMakingStuff]

I am a fan

[@shanebevin6688]

Great save on the paints! That moment when you lean back and look at a paintjob that's gone pear shaped is such an awful feeling, but pulling off the save makes it feel like a hero move :) Cat seems pretty needy.

[@BillMakingStuff]

it is... needy twat

[@enanorojo8233]

Love the build! Looks like the smeghead child of the dropship from Aliens and Red Dwarf's Starbug 😃

[@BillMakingStuff]

It does!

[@retrorandy77]

I was getting such Red Dwarf vibes from this ship ❤ But the red was way too shiny, like if Cat had been in charge of the paint job. The Red Dwarf Cat, not Bill's cat.

[@NickUncommon]

Heh, heh, I am so glad, I am not alone with thinking the first paint was giving off a red dwarf vibe.

[@TheExilarch]

This is the second video that I have watched on your channel. I never like videos, and I am selfish with my subscriptions, and I certainly do not write in the comments. Sir, you got all three with that cat. You are by far my favorite maker. God bless and keep doing what your doing.

[@MR_JERWHITE]

God damn, your videos are great. I wish we were friends.

[@oliharding]

Really appreciate when crafters show their fuck ups and when they aren't happy with something they've made/painted. We all do it we've all been there. Looks great second time around! Reminds me of Starbug from Red Dwarf a little! Also first episode featuring Cat, convenient... I'm onto you Bill.

[@Bluecho4]

The amount of greebling on that ship was insane. Good job, but you probably shouldn't do that much again. If for no other reason than for your own health and sanity. We all care a lot about you, Bill. Cat does too, even if it doesn't show it. And even if it's just a plasticard homunculus.

[@alerojas7714]

Awesome as always Bill, also that cat is so cute I want to see him more

[@BillMakingStuff]

he'll be around... unless he dies somehow. It's possible.

[@Harrythebotar]

You know, I actually really liked that red metallic look; I thought it was really colorful! Though I do also like the green as well. A excellent build!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Yuck

[@thespaniard1810]

Great build, as usual. Instead of aerosol superglue activator try using bicarb diluted in water, put into a spray bottle. I don't know who told me that, a scratchbuilder guru I think... Anyway he's not as good as you.

[@Sinistar1983]

Makes me wanna make some of this stuff for DnD campaigns

[@BillMakingStuff]

[@davidsickles4510]

Bill, it's been a whole year. Are you still planning to respond to every comment? By the way, the ship is great! I think the red has great potential for some of your other builds in the future. Hope all is well :)

[@Chursto]

The black textured things used for the landing gear are called window packers/spacers. They're used to center double-glazed units in the frame, And after using them on a daily basis for years I have never thought "they might come in handy for my 40k terrain" until now. Thanks, Bill.

[@BillMakingStuff]

thanks for informing me

[@Chursto]

@@BillMakingStuff If you know anybody that does windows, ask for some. They should have a bucket full in their van of various thicknesses.

[@BillMakingStuff]

The rivet section was the therapy

[@Spate_Fissionfire]

This looks very cool, but the landing gear remind me of Baba Yaga's chicken-legged house.

[@sicle_of_whims]

I never comment because apparently social anxiety isn't limited to in-person interaction... but adding to the avalanche of comments was just too tempting. Kickass build, as usual - and bloody bonkers editing with the rivets. Love that we can see how much you care about your builds and their presentation!

[@BillMakingStuff]

glad you liked it

[@jewabeus]

Thank you. The painting thing makes me feel better. After every mistake I make, I'm a wreck. It's nice to see that not everybody loves every part of their process for doing things & mistakes happen. Leave them in every time for my part. Oh yeah, I love your new cat. Keep that fellow around. He literally makes the video.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Missed this video so its been almost a year of me wondering where cat came from. Your "friend" was right though, cat really adds a lot to the videos. Love the sorta silent ventriloquist bit.

[@mwc1707]

I liked the red. It gave it an old sports car some guy is claiming he's going to fix up proper some day look. But once the green was added it did make it look like Santa's hand me down space ship.

I'm still mad you had me muted Mr bill, but seriously. How do you organize your trash? I have too much stuff I've collected for similar purposes, and I've had to throw some of it away if you can believe it.

[@BillMakingStuff]

You probably deserved it. I sort it by shape

[@auri1075]

Here is an idea, not sure if youd like it. Imagine a mechanic plant. Im talking about a plant, green, takes in CO² takes out O². Or a tree. The idea is that its either a creation from a civilization which has polluted its world so much it has made improvements to local flora to hasten the process of purifying the air. Or maybe its some super machine that is merging with anything it finds in the world, and now is taking over plants and trees. It could have pipes and exhaust pipes takin gasses in and letting fumes or other gasses out. Leaves could have patches of metal. The roots could be half normal roots half pipes getting water directly of a water source like a river-lake-pond.

[@BillMakingStuff]

I had thought about mechanical plants

[@brancheternal]

So I started making my own and now my fingers are covered in superglue. Thanks, Bill. This is such a rewarding experience.

[@IPP133]

I love your videos! I just found your channel, and I thought Cat was going to be in all of them! Imagine my surprise when I find out he's new in this one! You definitely found the key to getting subscribers with your cat. I wish I could afford to subscribe to your patreon, but since I can't, I'll be sure to recommend your channel to anyone who likes crafting and miniature stuff. You and Cat are going to be keeping me company while I do chores and exercise, lol. I really appreciate how much time you take to describe what you did and why. So far, this and the base/flocking episode are my favorites. The christmas colored spaceship had me laughing out loud. Don't worry too much about including tips at the right time in the video. I appreciate every bit of advice you have to give. I really wish I could craft with a bunch of junk, but I don't have the space to keep all that, so I'm living vicariously through your amazing videos.
