Junk Bashing Spaceships - The Merchant Fleet Project!

Hi everyone! This is the second tiny spaceship I built, and the idea is to make a merchant fleet! Join me in this two day build project, the start of a new series. Please consider becoming a member or a patron, links are bellow ;)

[@chiparooo]

Love these shorter builds! Thanks for sharing!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks for watching!

[@jhs5467]

A good way to unite the designs could be to standardize the cargo containers. Maybe create/print/reuse like 50 container for solids/gas/fluids and use them on the cargoships, trying to design roles for each ship around them.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Sounds amazing, thank you!

[@projectaroid]

Cool starship model. It's nice seeing some of your shorter projects too. Nice work.

[@CutTransformGlue]

I'm glad you liked it :)

[@-Battle-Cry-]

A Bounty Hunter Ship would be cool ! 😎

[@CutTransformGlue]

Yes!!

[@PopeRocket]

My personal favorite are the junk-bashed personal vehicles at any scale.

[@Viking-ep7yg]

My favorite is sci-fi...

[@davidcalvert3494]

Seen a few of your vids now. You do an amazing job every time. A modeller is only limited by his imagination, and you seem to have it in abundance. Keep up the great work. Would love to see you build a star wars model, or something that would fit in that universe. 👍👍

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you so much!

[@Froany]

I would love to see you build a smaller scale ship (or a larger scale, if you’re REALLY into the idea) where a large portion of it is a Sci-Fi device, or weapon. Almost like designing the ship around the unique technology, instead of it being some afterthought. Love your stuff! Keep up the great work!

[@calebcampbell5698]

Same I love kitbashing in small scales

[@CutTransformGlue]

Crazy and cool idea! thank you ;)

[@formulaonesixfour]

Love it. These quick projects are super interesting.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks :)

[@Shin_Lona]

Nice build! I know you typically build robots and ships, but what about doing some other props or costume pieces? Something that's life-size, like a blaster gun or technological device. Not so much for a different type of object, but the change in scale and resolution for the design.

[@xavery7842]

As always, great work. I'm still hoarding pieces and adding to the assortment.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you :)

[@GustavEEriksson]

I like the variation between large projects and these smaller scale ones! I think maybe a small fighter-type spaceship could fit the format?

[@CutTransformGlue]

I'll do a fighter spaceship soon! Thank you :)

[@smashino]

I have a suggestion for the engine shroud at this scale. The engine shroud you used this time reads as a different scale than what you are going for here. Realistically, a ship of that huge size would use a bunch of smaller engines rather than one that is this huge. I think an array of smaller engines would look great at this scale and be a little more convincing. Anyway, good job and it's a lot of fun to see these sort of videos! 😃

[@CutTransformGlue]

Oh I agree! I just like the visuals of a giant engine... If you look all my spaceships are like that haha :D

[@smashino]

@@CutTransformGlue I think it suits your other, smaller scale, ships really well. In my opinion, it just looks a little bit off at this scale. 🙂

[@PKTCrafts]

Another great build!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks!

[@Trashbash_Creations]

Great build, as usual! you make great use of the parts! well done!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!

[@Viking-ep7yg]

Amazing your mind.

[@iscogblackscale5777]

Loveing the ships. Maybe a spacestation. Not to scale but maybe like in the distance.

[@olivvcelso]

Love the structure of this spaceship, so complex. Well done!

[@ridethroughlifertl]

My favorite sci-fi things are hoverbikes. Like hover motorcycles, in all the different versions that real ones comes in.

[@TheSmugglersRoom]

Very cool!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks buddy! ;)

[@jaredperry917]

I think you should make a high tech cyberpunk motorcycle

[@och70]

Not sure if it would have been possible, but having a light source behind those little "windows" on the rounded piece would have looked really cool. I'm really enjoying these smaller scale quick builds. Looking forward to more!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Adding lights to projects soon! Stay tunned

[@lowenization]

These feel like good "endor background" ships

[@negotiableaffections]

space docks, orbital wharehouses and of course cantina/accomodations too. . .

[@CutTransformGlue]

lots of cool ideas, thank you ;D

[@gabrielvaldez6877]

Me encanta!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Muchas gracias!

[@leonardorancati6039]

they'll def need somekind of mothership or giant space station to float around in space. Maybe satellites like structures... who knows.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Great Idea :D thanks

[@cathopreicon]

Love this new series! It’s really great to see how you keep connected to your creative spirit by trying out ideas like this. Watching your videos has really encouraged me to start scratch bashing my own models and I’m so glad to have this in my life now!,

[@cathopreicon]

Now I’m thinking about other things I’d love to see you make in this quick way… maybe some kind of space station? Like you could make some really unusual structures using up awkward greeblies because there won’t necessarily be an UP or DOWN in zero gravity. You can add weird scientific looking modules.. all sorts of antennae and solar panels. Hmm, this makes me want to have a go at doing that now!

[@CutTransformGlue]

I'm so happy to hear that, thanks buddy and keep going!

[@immortaliserwow]

I will keep pushing my agenda, hope you don't mind :) *clears throat* : One week humanoid robot/costume builds, little to no 3D printing!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Challenging haha

[@luclin92]

hmm... just looking at these, i feel some kind of tanker is appropriate, both as a way to carry more fuel, or to just sell liquids.

[@fransionseamor9368]

Nice!~ Although I wish you could sell 3D printable replicas of these one day builds for us to use in some table top space ship war game

[@CutTransformGlue]

sounds amazing!

[@fransionseamor9368]

@@CutTransformGlue Well, can’t wait to see what you come up with with that idea I just shared with you then!

[@nathanlunev8187]

love this new series!

[@ocin7917]

I love all of your videos and I religiously watch them all. I try to trash bash ( I’m a 44 y/o female) but I don’t have a lot of knowledge of spaceships etc and the mechanics of how things work, so I just do what looks cool, but probably is functionally wrong I’m so many ways 🤣. Any way, I’ve been meaning to ask if you could explain in a video exactly how you bolt things together. I see you using bolts, but is there a nut hidden in the opposing piece? I never seem to see this and so I’m not sure how you do it, and would love to try it myself. Loving the fast builds, but of course love your longer ones too. Thanks. A fan from New Zealand.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Hi! Happy to hear that you got inspired and is trying to build things, this is amazing! Now about the bolts and nuts.. You got it, I use mostly M4 bolts, and the nut is usually hidden embedded inside an opposing piece. I 3D print those but you could make them anyway you want, just embed a nut on a piece of plastic or wood :D hope that helps!

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

Comment for the algorithm 😁👍

[@CutTransformGlue]

haha thank you!

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

@@CutTransformGlue I and a smoll band of misfit madlads comments with just that. To feed the algorithm for those we like and fight youtube with their own weapons. For the algorithm 🍻

[@dirktermagant5629]

How about auxiliary fleet vessels? Shuttles might be too small, by maybe specialized vehicles like tugs or refuelling barges?

[@CutTransformGlue]

Love it!

[@BATvg]

2-3 day build trading post space station or spaceport for your merchant fleet!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Cool ideia, not sure I could do in 3 days though!

[@xavery7842]

I have to say also, some parts and textures can be sourced from old nerf guns and like old toys.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Great suggestion, I'll see if I can find some! :)

[@Norman_Peterson]

@Cut Transform Glue I am a 3d artist and concept designer. I really like your work, especially the recycling of plastic material into something artistic. The only thing you need to improve on, in my opinion, is the design and paint. In MY OPINION: THE DESIGN The pieces you use can be further filed and shaped, because the parts are too round, whereas a ship's design uses square objects for most parts. Or more square than the ones you use, this gives the "soft" appearance to your works, making them less incisive. So look at drawings of starships, 3d models, break them down in your mind into smaller panels, learn their shapes and then LINA or mold plastic modeling them. The PAINT The pieces are detailed, sometimes there are small holes that look like windows. But the paint doesn't go into detail, and/or isn't detailed when the parts you use. THERE IS NO SCALE between the model and the paint. You have to go into detail by carrying out a paint that is not comprehensive but detailed. You can add a lot of detail with 3D fakes, in paint. SEARCH FOR VIDEOS online about drawing and painting sci fi models, you will realize that if you learn and make their techniques your own, your work will improve a lot. Have nice day! love your works!

[@fonesrphunny7242]

Can't tell what anything is supposed to be, except the engine.

[@Forcemaster2000]

You should spend a little more time at the end of the video showing some beauty shots!

[@anothernate3302]

Mystery engine? Looks like a deodorant stick screw

[@CutTransformGlue]

You got it!

[@fredhercmaricaubang1883]

Y'know, you could auction off your creations if you want funds.

[@boxfoxscoot1614]

that piece was from a deodorant container

[@dirktermagant5629]

I'm glad you said it, cuz I knew I'd sent that somewhere and it was driving me nuts!

[@CutTransformGlue]

You got it!
