I honestly think it’s kinda criminal how underrated this channel is content 10/10 innovation 10/10 👍👍

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you so much for your kind words =)

[@michaelmaynard8138]

100% agree this channel is brilliant

[@DismemberTheAlamo]

Ive been saving up sprue to make some panels for random projects. One of the things you didnt touch on, thats most important is that the scraps / failed pieces can be just added back to the vat and reabsorbed into the sprue goo hive mind.

[@1234kalmar]

Kobold piloted golem miniatures are back on the menu boyz!!!! Thank you sooo much!

[@beezerbeez]

This video has properly blown my mind.

[@semi6698]

The sprues bender ! The allmighty

[@andyroo3022]

Great. My son has a heap of these sprues. I will rescue them into sprue goo. I just made two 1/18 scale workshop hoists for my diecast model cars using styrene sheets. I can now fit two cars in a one car space in my display cabinet. Your models are really well done. I made a mini oxy acetylene cart using kneed it epoxy for the gas cylinders, coathanger wire and matchboxy car wheels for the trolley and some electric wire for hoses. Good hobby

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you, and the stuff you have made sounds awesome, this is a great hobby =)

[@melaniemassicotte6212]

This is incredible! I was feeling so bad throwing away those pieces of plastic. But now I wanna make a cool ork terrain with them because of you. Thank you and you gained a sub!

[@hanssmidt12]

I love litereally all of your vids, i know no thing about war Hammer and im not interested in it but you make all of that better

[@lanasmith4795]

Making stuff is wonderfully Universal

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Yup its all about having fun and making things =)

[@zakhunt]

Duuuude, this is amazing. You’re a hero, my friend. I recently moved and threw away all my old sprues, but once I build up a new backlog of sprues, I’m definitely doing this. Thank you!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Sprues are pretty awesome and great for all sorts =)

[@bobbech9571]

i am 13 years old so i knew nothing of this when i started playing D&D i always wanted to make things like that and i didn't knew how, so thank you very much. This video was very handy.

[@Crazyformodels-cq5kd]

I though t was the only teen doing it in 12

[@Aronmasonarts]

i think it's great that you are teching people another way to recycle plastic, the less waste thrown away the better.

[@tammyschilling5362]

You are a mad genius. This is awesome.

[@jackochainsaw]

For your wheel mould you could have a centre column press so you don’t have to fight gravity (a circle with weight on top).

[@perkeyser2032]

Imagine to have so much space that I could save spuces and things like that. Luxury. :)

[@drschmall77]

... 😳... AWSOME... Fantasie and ideas... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻... Thx for sharing... Greetings from germany

[@richardgonzalez9773]

WOW! Subbed. This I will do for easy to make terrain and objectives in the future. My wife and I just started wargaming and nice to know we'll have a use for the future sprues.

[@Faramous]

Amazing. Blew my mind.

[@tieember9596]

as a home chef that rolling pin is the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen

[@raynaladrien5339]

YOU ARE THE MAN!

[@RaderGH]

You, sir, are awesome! I plan to play around with cutting thin leaves and other plant structures directly from sprues but I certainly want to give this a try some time.

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

Jesus christ u made those with sprews. Legend.

[@CaptainCoolpants101]

Basically, obviously, Sprue goo!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

haha, I know I keep repeating words, obviously I cant help myself =P

[@fomod_]

"My favourite thing I built with sprues, is make a sprue burger!" *_YOU WHAT_*

[@Scodge]

New to the channel (thanks KZbin feed) but this is brilliant!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

I have now started building the Tau Manta (its MAHOOSIVE lol) and will be posting daily pics over on my patreon - bit.ly/3lXeJf4

[@thenachomancer]

That gargant looks great! I'm eager to see how the manta turns out.

[@skrypthobbies]

Fantastic! Now I know why I've saved all those sprues ...and so many! Didn't realise just how easy this plastic is to recycle ... acetone ... so simple! Just being able to make plastic card on demand is awesome, but the possibilities of this are endless. Thank you!

[@friendlyattack1181]

you are the Sprue Guru

[@АкадемияТанкомагии]

Thanks! This is real awesome thing!

[@gregoiredemange6437]

That's extremely cool

[@NoProcrastinationMiniatures]

Damn, got rid of loads of sprue recently! Brilliant video!

[@kevinriddle3611]

amazing, never would have known

[@bengathercole-day9712]

Genuinely impressed with this tip.

[@wargamercubano]

Awesom,e, im from cuba, never imagine i can do my scenery with this ideas you give here sir, i will check all videos now to learn all about the sprue goo jaja, thanks

[@faerdagonminui]

Spures 4 the Spure God !!!

[@Turenkoren]

That sprue burger had me dying lol keep up the food work bro

[@mikewhitaker2880]

just better hope GW doesn't thy to yell copyright infringement due to the sprues being from their product... seriously, they are being that much in the diqk department now "even if they don't care about a sprue burger"....

[@geekavenger]

I've been getting bits of black ABS pipe and dissolving it in Acetone. ABS is what they make legos out of. Thanks for inspiring the idea.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Hhhmmmm, I have a lot of LEGO, maybe I should try it out in a video, it will make a lot of Lego enthusiasts cry lol =)

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

Gotta say this is really neat. As much as it comes out really rough, that in it's own right is pretty charming especially if it's a more rough and ready environment. I'll give some thought on how to use it.

[@todd12278]

You are making some amazing stuff! Question though. My wife and I are trying to make our own "sprue goo." We have had a jar of sprue bits sitting in 100% acetone nail polish remover for about three days now, and the bits have not melted down. The jar is sealed, and we haven't done anything more than shake up the jar occasionally. Is there something we are missing? Edit: Ok, I think we figured it out. The first acetone we tried had three other chemicals mix in with it. We shopped around, and found another brand with just Acetone and Denatonium Benzoate (make the chemical taste bad, so it's not accidently swallowed). We tried the second acetone and we started seeing immediate results. We should hopefully have sprue goo in a few hours!

[@1OtherMr]

so, how did it work out?

[@maxxon99]

Don't use nail polish remover, it can have all sorts of other stuff in it like oils for skin care. Just get raw acetone from the hardware store. Probably a lot cheaper too.

[@todd12278]

@@1OtherMr second attempt worked great. We had Sprue Goo within a day. Wife has put the goo to use making key chains that we intend to paint and give as Chistmas gifts

[@uglygiantbagsofmostlywater]

An ooey gooey spruey Manta, you are insane. I like it!

[@MrTheevilmage]

I like to make picket fences with my left over sprews

[@krystian8408]

Big thank you for your work and tips with sprues

[@BraveLittlePixel]

okay I just plated a drinking game with how often you say "obviously"

[@craftoloco1383]

I really love your channel! Can you use sprue glue in blue stuff molds? Thanks!

[@Jedimastersoto]

Hello, just wanted to say you are awesome!!! Thannnk yooouuu for all the great ideas 💡

[@xxth.legion]

Just had my mind blown 🤯😂

[@franciscojaviermontecinosc9379]

WHAT THE... liked suscribe and waiting for the enxt video. This is insanely amazing!!!

[@MrRicehard]

Great stuff. I bought some acetone and have started my first tentative forays into dissolving plastic. I don't have access to sprues so I am investigating what other household products are made out of high impact polystyrene. Seems like I need to look for the number 6 recycle symbol. So far I found some ice cream scoops, disposable razors and ballpoint pens. The scoops are goop. Not tried the other two yet. Thanks so much for the inspiration to make even more mess out of which comes some cool table top terrain.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Hey thats awesome, keep me updated on what melts as I keep wanting to try other things but just never get round to it lol =)

[@Nuuboat]

I wish i had known about this 20-30 years ago!

[@alskopim]

You should make a web-store where you sell some of these parts

[@DarthX4]

if i get into 3d printing, that's going to be an option for leftover thread/support thingies

[@Holy_Grapefruit]

People should send this to the Ork-Convertors. Man this is perfect. Once I get back into converting and miniatures, this will be perfect for my Nurgle 40k Army.. if only I wasnt demotivated by the forcefully released newer line of nurgle marines.

[@anaxsonmondrox4197]

This is awesome! I will try and make some chaos spawns with this technic! Sprue skeletorn, goo for flesh and embend some plastic marker gems for large eyes.

[@MrSwankypants]

Love a good updated recap 😎

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers bud =)

[@katrinthorsdottir7514]

I love all of your sprue builds! Still so amazed by the burger!

[@EMSWK]

I wonder if centrifugal force was applied if you could to get better results

[@doudou2713]

Bonjour, merci pour cette super idée

[@davewarman2976]

wow....never knew about this

[@Pr0nes]

Technically tournament legal since its all GW kit 🤠

[@DiamondMinerDJC00]

The forbidden marshmallow cream.

[@leewat3742]

Quite a few years ago I made a Ork garage with a few bits of sprues as a frame and some styrene girders, some foam board and a load of carboard, and seeing what you are doing with sprues has opened my eyes for the potential of what was previously waste material, this is hobby recycling at its best. Keep up the good work. Note to self, don't throw out the next empty jar :)

[@notreallydavid]

Orks like to keep their vehicles under cover to keep that showroom look.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Orks are the best and sprues are pretty awesome too =)

[@RuffStuff420]

Eventually I cut all mine down into brick sized bits, toss them in my coffee grinder, and beat the hell out of them to make them look like actual bricks. Beofre they are bricks they are usually painting handles for things like heads and shields. I'll cut them about 3 inches long, carve down one end a bit, and use a plastic welder to glue them to the head or shield. After that though they get turned into bricks.

[@gabisdaddi]

Could you share what type of plastic (PETE, PVC, ABS, etc...), or what recycle number they are? Surely there's other plastics we recycle that we can upcycle like those sprues!

[@crimsonknight7011]

I have a feeling that if GW saw this they would stop selling models on sprues and instead have them in the box preassembled so you can’t benefit from the sprues.

[@deleted-gr2vc]

Keep up the good content, live long and prosper 🖖

[@ChazTheYouthful]

I used bits and pieces from waywatchers and glade guard with sprues to make willowy treekin that looked more like dryads.

[@DavidMoreVisuals]

mad lad gon build a manta damn

[@TheVandralretard]

Have you considered injection molding with sprue gue?

[@HeliumFreak]

As someone who does a lot of fibre glassing you could probably just setup a vacuum to help it hold its shape while it dries out.

[@jonathanbartlett1098]

Hi! I love your work, thank you for sharing with us. It is clear that you have a lot of knowledge to share regarding the miniature hobby and I am looking forward to exploring your channel

[@redpianominiatures]

I would be a bit concerned about fumes or something, styrene is harmful when melted.

[@Anjohl]

I'm getting light headed just thinking about doing that.... make sure you have *ludicrously* high levels of ventilation, and a proper industrial grade breathing mask.

[@MVico42]

This is an amazing way to recyclings sprues !!! Just thx to you dude :O.

[@noahhoffenberg6971]

Hey. How are you doing? What have you been up to today?

[@iambitemetole]

Genius!

[@jordankeenan7611]

Can you put sprue goo card offcuts back into the jar?

[@nomadcaravantales84]

Amazing! Wish I had known about sprue glue ages ago. The amount of plastic that goest to waste from GW is ridiculous!

[@therealwinston3634]

did you know you can also make napalm out of sprues and about complex-molds use stronger-stuff like methyl-ethyl-keton instead of aceton that "might" work

[@markhill3858]

GREAT and useful vid mate :) subscribed on the strength of it

[@gazzaroony]

Games Workship will learn just like many failed commerce giants before it that attempting to control your customers just drives them away. Its a simple path of least resistance matter.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

yup we will all rise up lol =)

[@michaeldavidson7125]

Have you tried SpruGoo with resin molds?

[@Annatar3019]

so you could cast a whole figure if you have a mold?

[@unicornslikemath]

Everybody’s wife/girlfriend must hate your channel. “But baby, I need to save all these sprues! I know I’ve had this box for the last 4 years but, you’ll see”

[@craftoloco1383]

Your channel is awesome. Really fresh content and super inspiring. Also reusing what normally it will be considered as garbage. Love it! Fantastic work mate keep it up!🤘

[@damianwilliamson6799]

hi mate love the content you do 👍

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you so much =)

[@nikolasplares6016]

My ork army stocks have just shot up

[@K2HunterX]

I gotta ask, since the timestamp on the thumbnail hid it, what did the rest of the text say? All I see is [Watch before Gamesworkshop 14:11]

[@terrysilverthorn8616]

I went & bought the stuff & created a batch of goo. However each attempt to roll it flat under the wax paper has met with failure. So I have several questions I hope you can answer. 1) Are you able to use any sprue? Or is it just the GW sprues that seem to work. I have almost a powerdery effect of goo atop the other stuff from using a range of sprues including plastic model kit ones. 2) I roll out the sprue to make it flat, however when trying to peel back the paper after waiting some time, the plastic sticks to the paper & lifts, sort of like gum on your shoe. What causes this? The plastic also sticks to the cookie sheet requiring a scraper to remove. 3) I am guessing that your wanting to use non painted sprues. There are quite a few people who prime or spray their models while on the sprue. I look forward to reading your responses. Thanks

[@bugler75]

Hi Terry, I primarily build aircraft and armour from all makes and brands and I’ve used all to successfully make spruegoo. Can’t comment about the effects of paint but I’d imagine the acetone would break it down. I must experiment! All the best, Ian

[@thelittlestgiant]

Does the acetone within the sprue goo just evaporate or something? It doesn’t leave behind any weird residue?

[@guytakeda8258]

Tried making sprue goo. My nibbly nobbly bits have been sitting in 100% acetone for a week and a half, and while they're softer, they still don't seem to be gooifying. The bits are cut very small, and there's plenty more acetone than bits. I'm not entirely sure what's going wrong.

[@justinerickson282]

How do i make flat sheets out of the sprue goo? I put the acetone melted plastic on wax paper, on a cookie sheet, rolled it out, left it over night, it just stuck to both sheets of the plastic

[@frurus2624]

Epic 👏👏👏

[@richardturnbull8591]

Do you know if this would work with bioresin used on a 3d printer? I would love to find something I could do with the supports and failed prints

[@buchsg]

me watching this video while I mostly do 3d printing ... I have few to no sprues to recycle 😅 but I keep the method for failed abs prints

[@clawhammr666]

Awesome stuff! I'll definitely ave to check some more videos of yours and hopefully make some stuff from sprues myself

[@WillOursler]

For complex molds -- have you considered filling the mold with acetone before adding the sprue goo? I notice that the goo seems to settle down through acetone, so it seems like you might be able to dissolve the goo into smaller details. Of course, the acetone might damage the mold as well...

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

I think the main problem is when the acetone evaporates it leaves void pockets so the piece might have loads of small bullet holes lol =)

[@therealwinston3634]

other option might be, using "stronger" stuff like methyl-ethyl-keton, instead of aceton

[@sandy8oy354]

What’s the music from it sounds good

[@jessyjacobs292]

Will the manta be legal to play?

[@bobbech9571]

where do you buy sprues that isn't for a building/miniature?

[@5thwatchcaptain6]

Thanks for the ideas. Keep it up

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you so much, Im trying to =)
