Minute and a half into the vid and I'm already liking just for the packaging waste rant!

[@xJxlf]

K. Mull. Same

[@MattChild]

I've been doing this with various packaging. the big ones come in a front-opening container I've turned into a giant cloning vat

[@benjoe1993]

"If I can steer my kid into liking things that create usable garbage, I'm gonna do so." - Chaotic Good parenting 101

[@benjoe1993]

Also, LOL that endcard xD

[@tbonbrad]

Natural alignment found in the realist-parent class. But seriously people with kids, just accept that you'll have to make concessions to your kid. Perfection is the enemy of good-at-all.

[@xironbeastx8677]

All garbage is useful in terrain making, you know how many weird sci-fi buildings I have made off just the plastic weird shaped packaging toys come in?

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

can you make this with normal eggs

[@andrewdemarest1606]

you should consider a whole series of just turning alien/monster stuff out with trash packaging and old toys... very well done, good sir, I hope your channel lasts forever!

[@FrigginBoomToys]

I second that

[@MonkeyJedi99]

The end bit with the cute critters emerging from the slimy alien eggs is just so perfect.

[@sum1liteamatch]

I hope this recycling concept continues on your channel, its extremely enjoyable to watch and really gets the brain working to see what I could build at home out of trash

[@patricom05]

Trash terrain by Commissar Gamza

[@Garfunkels_Funky_Uncle]

the paint job in the thumbnail had me fooled, I thought you used a real eggshell! if you get more of those eggs, could you try making a next of hatched dragon eggs with a baby dragon coming out of one of them?!

[@rebeccamccartin6681]

Love that you even repurposed the packaging as a mixing tray

[@dougsundseth6904]

One of your best videos, I think. The inclusion of the problems you ran into and the errors you made and how you fixed them and the reasoning behind some of the decisions you made is really helpful. And the result is excellent.

[@yamashbell586]

sometimes i get really exited about something and just make an impulse buy and after some time i regret them... join the fellowship was most Definitely not one of them! you pal are a genius. thanks

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

🤗

[@madnessbydesign1415]

I'm a huge believer in what I call "garbage crafting". Most of us start with taking old containers, broken pieces, and things that sane people throw away, and making something fun and amusing out of them - as our loved ones shake their heads and wonder how they put up with us... :)

[@peoplecallmepeechez]

I like these vids where you start with an object and create your idea from that, instead of just coming straight into the video with an idea. It really has you making some interesting things that I wouldn't even think of

[@alexanderk.9032]

This really gets my creative juices flowing. In my mind, these are incubation chambers from a civilisation from underground, disturbed by a mining town's activities. Workers get lost in the deep and it's up to the players to uncover the truth about what happened-> the workers getting lured into the deep, abducted and swallowed by the brood mother who traps them into egg like cocoon incubation chambers, where they get turned into half-human slaves for the hive. And it suddenly dawns on the heroes, what or rather who they have been killing on their way down... (If anybody wants to, feel free to use this, lol)

[@ModerateHipster]

Looks awesome! One airbrushing tip: you can use silly putty as a mask for odd forms, like your umbilical cords there. Though, going back and touching up is a great option too.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

That’s a great tip!

[@euansmith3699]

I like the way that you use the plastic wrapping to mix the scultpa-mold. "... the important thing is..." to not superglue your fingers to your tiny bit of lichen.

[@StackingLimit]

Really gorgeous! Great for any aliens skirmish game.

[@mikepeters8132]

I applaud your drive to recycle (upcycle?) trash into treasured table-top terrain pieces.

[@damienhill3262]

I absolutely love it! The idea to use kids left over toys and household items to make such cool alien/monster eggs is genius! I am so glad I found your channel and subscribed.

[@thepenismightier]

I like your "make trash into terrain" videos. I'd love to see this become a weekly feature post isolation.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Considering I make one video a week, that would mean they would become the only videos...maybe monthly.

[@Moschzilla]

When i think about joining a Table full with such Eggs i would do the Homer Simpson and would walk backwards out of that hell :D

[@samuelbroad11]

airbrush perseverance and re-spraying, totally feel ya there man. Every 'mistake' is a new tool or effect for your creative tool box. One perfect technique for this is what I call Curdling. With a base coat colour, apply a small amount of medium or glaze by brush onto the area you want focused on, then with an airbrush medium mixed at least 50/50 with another colour airbrush over until it is saturated. The surface will pool and run: OK for slimy things. then bring in another second airbrush medium 50/50 mix with a 2nd colour, spray this over again, the colours will separate or curdle in an organic creepy way. Leave to dry thoroughly, no touchy. the trick with the initial medium placement by brush is to focus the effect, you'll get overspray with the other airbrushed mixes which is all good. I've done this by hurrying airbrush mixes too quickly and learnt a new trick. Sometimes the over-paint layers go deep as! 10/10 for showing mistakes and processes, so important, thanks.

[@lindybeige]

Fantasy - yes. Sci-fi - yes. Historical wargaming - to be honest, here I am less sure.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Depends on your level of belief in crazy conspiracies I suppose.

[@kallisto9166]

Oh I don't know... Did you see that episode of Doctor Who with Victorian-era British troops fighting Ice Warriors on Mars? Historical soldiers in nice red uniforms versus alien monstrosities. That sounds like a fun game.

[@Aconspiracyofravens1]

what are you doing over here

[@dimsum3329]

Ah yes, the war of 1812

[@Fishcrab]

Depends on when in history. The jurassic period, is technically historic

[@latank871]

Awesome! The plastic trays inside of packages of cookies have interesting shapes. Plastic that holds strawberries and blueberries.

[@orrinorder598]

Now I feel dumb throwing all my daughter’s lol eggs away. Lol.

[@FrigginBoomToys]

I like the idea of using 'trash'. You can make a pretty cool air dry clay from cardboard, you could have used that for the tissue paper stuff

[@jondo4210]

It would be amazing to have a bunch of those to set up down in the Underdark. Let the adventurers walk through a field of those and see what comes out of them when one of the players bumps into one! It would be like in Aliens with Ripley walking through the Alien egg farm. Hella cool!

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

Ooohhh yeah!

[@ezriedash6633]

Wow! Super impressive repurpose and the paint job was prefect!

[@udorechner6846]

Very nice project! to use the "garbage" of those blindbags was a good idea!

[@gpgordon12]

I reuse the thin cardboard from small packaging to make wood boards and internal framework. I also use the plastic blister pack for casting silicone molds in.

[@PronghornPunk]

Gotta say, the tree shelf in the background is really poppin

[@tabletopbastler1288]

These are really really cool. Made from waste, looking great, fantastic paint job. Thumbs up! Thank you.

[@icingdeathicingdeath5581]

I watch 2-3 of your videos a day. Cannot get enough!! Also bought my Proxxon yesterday with your link!!!

[@kristofbarta2964]

It is a very cool project. The concept of using waste is great and the outcome is just so nice. The cord is a nice touch, very gross.

[@charlycharly4958]

It is great how you give ideas of how to convert rubbish in "epic" stuff!! Keep it bro, it's fantastic content!!!

[@giorgoskoutsogiannis9747]

Great build and the recycling theme you have on the last few videos is great and inspiring

[@TCS-Robin]

I really liked this video and the use of a "scrap" piece of a toy. I might make a similar build someday to my Tyranids! 😀

[@flawlix]

I love trash-to-tabletop builds. Absolutely my favorite!

[@kevinhammond9445]

Small, simple, and absolutely awesome!!

[@egonerwinquiche8274]

Yoicks! The last eight seconds of this video were absolute HORROR! When those seemingly sweeeeet plastic monsters popped out of the egg shells, I almost wet my pants!!! Love it!

[@cogrinwis6047]

We love it. This is super. Keep on building those great things. And stay safe

[@mscandlex]

Kinder Surprise Eggs. I saved some to build some KILLER EGG BOTS! or some kind of wierd mech or something around those lines. Awesome video Jeremy!

[@jackswearingen1831]

The slime looks SOO epic dude

[@trbry.]

You should be proud/happy with the result, great work!

[@kingforaday8725]

Nice, very nice! Another thing to add to my list while shopping toy departments. Maybe modify the egg before attaching to the base?

[@Flipptop]

Pretty cool. Now you need to make the creature's that came out of them.

[@mrkshply]

Love the video. Love the eggs. Thanks for teaching everything you do. But they look like testes to me. Kinda gives it an H R Giger quality which I love.

[@ashenwalls3558]

Oh this seems extremely versatile! Most excellent.

[@Kaimanshead]

This showed up 12 seconds ago for me! These eggs look gorgeous!

[@drevo_koudela]

Cool idea! I really hate those blind collectors items but now I see that I can see that they can be turned into something more usefull.

[@GoobertownHobbies]

Whoa, this was awesome! Those eggshells turned out great, and that lime green is one of my all-time favorite colors, these are great. Time to go buy some more eggs!!!

[@dolfinmagikpro]

Amazing! What a wonderful use of that trash! Keep up the great work! Have a better day ... as I always say!

[@bethcollier3789]

I just so truly admire your talent. Am a first time watcher and subscribed straight away. I love the effort of using art to help with the cleanup of mother gaia, grabbing material before composting is commendable. Love the end look, so much inspiration.. Thank you.

[@half-assedcraftswithbigmik4301]

What a perfect use of that product!

[@p11_studios]

Have you ever looked into kitbashing? It’s a little different from your usual stuff, but it’s still similar. Could be a cool fresh project

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

I’ve done a lot of kit bashing.......

[@salaltschul3604]

Firstly, Hatchimals are awesome. Secondly, brilliant use of the eggs. They look terrifying.

[@forrestspoon4632]

Looks awesome! Good work and I am happy to see reusing materials for the model

[@DavidM-um2uk]

Those are gnarly, love it.

[@Iron_Clad_D3]

Something I made for scatter terrain is fence pieces. I get a lot of mileage out of it. Some provide cover while others are a hindrance to movement. Popping a few alongside a road in or out of town help define the road and add a little touch to what would be an open or wooded area.

[@inspirationforge4578]

kids are great inspiration and i love using trash/recycle materials - just made a Beholder from the top of two plastic bottles

[@patrickmchugh948]

One of your most creative builds. Great vid

[@designatscale9224]

Awesome! I really love that you used otherwise trash. This project inspired me to do an RPG piece with my students next year - assuming there is a next year.

[@dyrckhughes2463]

Thanks again for a great video. I am enjoying learning more about airbrushing just by watching your process.

[@dmmomma]

Great use of crap!! I've got 3 purple diamonds from Frozen minis that I need to try and do the same. Thanks for the ideas!

[@joshualeblanc6517]

Liking this talking camera angle!

[@mikkelskum707]

Really nice video, gotta get a airbrush... looks so nice in action.

[@cheneymoss6402]

Very nice! Way to reuse what would just be thrown away. They do seem to have lots of possible applications.

[@EugenAnanin]

Thanks for the great video and also for posting the links for German Amazon!

[@Velcraft]

Another great alien eggshell: nuts (just the shells). Pistachios, walnuts, macadamia, hazelnuts, pecans, even almonds make great clusters of weird eggs.

[@jhall1980]

These turned out awesome!

[@terrain-hardy]

kinder eggs can be pretty juse full ... Awesome piece of "trash" terrain, as always really really great job many thanks for showing and please keep up the good work.

[@DrHappybone]

Just found your channel today and I'm already hooked! Your projects all turn out absolutely amazing!

[@dupeesfashionconsultant4204]

Awesome project, highly recommend

[@TheMetatronGirl]

These are awesome! Well done. Love your shirt!!!

[@barryjack3025]

Another great job reimagining some toys into D&D assets. I like the image at the end showing the product toys in their newly restyled egg! Hella-cool!

[@LeoNelBuilds]

Turned out fantastic! You’re a master at this stuff!

[@psycholocke4090]

My kid's usually play and collect everything they find outside 😄 so I got not shortage of garbage and plants to build stuff. Last thing I build was a insect hive like a termite rock full of holes from a piece of old and rotten wood.

[@pez5767]

Another great video. I'm really enjoying your "from trash" series you've been doing. I hope you keep this going when we're all able to come back to the table. Thank you for the awesome content.

[@starvingartist733]

Every time you upload I get so excited, like, what are we making today!?

[@angeloguerreschi3842]

Oh man... outstanding results from trash, as always it's lovely to see what you can produce. Double thumbs up!!!

[@fuel411]

Fantastic, as always!

[@ArandomNutter]

Yeah man i like, the idea is real good looking and having a bunch would be sick. You could also do tracks coming from the eggs perhaps?

[@ElNick09]

those look terrific!

[@crabthuluhu_]

Every time I stumble back across you in my subscription list, it makes me want to go and bust out my crafting supplies and get to work. Awesome job! They look amazing.

[@mykehill44]

These are so awesome!! Definitely gotta try this!

[@deathmetalbard]

That Phil Collins shirt is giving me so electric wizard stoner doom vibes.

[@allisterbenson6380]

Come my fanatics! Love electric wizard

[@tbonbrad]

I'm more Sleep. Also Holy Mountain is one of the best sounding albums of all time and I will fight critics who brings up it's low-fi recording as a negative. It's organic and crunchy people, apologists leave the hall.

[@Niclord7]

Green stuff world has a green "toxic" version from UV resin. Great work, look scary!

[@charllandsberg]

[@ant1374]

That came out amazing 👍🏼.

[@JesseSierke]

Your idea of an alien egg that has an umbilical cord is wicked!

[@RavensMinis]

Awesome project! I'm sure I'll come across this kinda stuff when the little one is a bit older. Thanks for sharing!

[@davewilliams6172]

"If I could steer my kid...." you evil genius lol Love these eggs, they will be very useful in many scenarios. Maybe glue one or two back up to create a few cracked but not yet hatched "wee nasties", then you could use them as a sort of biological minefield

[@saunderl]

Was anyone else thinking "Don't use that clear plastic for a paint mixing bowl!". I just kept thinking of uses for that plastic, hahahaha. Recyclers tend to go down rabbit holes.

[@mackeroons779]

I'm nurturing bad sleep habits to catch these videos 'early' by my timeline (UK). Great use of 'garbage'. I remember countless Kinder eggs being discarded in my childhood. I think that they now have an interesting little hinge between the halves. I run a charity shop and have developed major hoarding tendencies of 'oh, I can use this '. Love the use of the lichen for veining, really cool idea. The paint job on the fleshy bits is really 'gnarly' to borrow one of your words. Looks delightfully like aged steak. :D

[@dmblair4244]

Awesome work my friend... I totallt miss making terrain...

[@daveh731]

Looked great!

[@Jeanninemarie69]

You are so creative.

[@stealthflower]

I’ve really been enjoying all the random-garbage project vids; thank you for posting them!

[@kalleendo7577]

Gorgeous!!!

[@travisshallenberger9486]

Nice work!

[@marcolai9735]

Amazing!

[@LegionMiniatureGames]

I love it, definitely want to try and build these for some gaming tables.
