Watching your videos from newest to oldest. That 3d printer sentiment aged well. lol

[@nomellameshomerollamamehomer]

Maybe your channel is small, but your work and editing is huge, really love this diorama, and I think that the final result has the spirit of the movie.

Thank you very much!

Hey, I was just thinking about you today and watching your videos again! What a happy coincidence!

[@gameyybuilds]

Oh cool! Looks like you dropped by at just the right time!

[@Sredleg]

"For the same reason I will probably never go the 3d printing route..." That surely aged like milk, haha. But I do love that your focus is still recycling random bits from anywhere, love the content!

[@gameyybuilds]

Yeah, it's nice to have the flexibility of a printer when I need it, but I actually prefer the upcycling method more if I can!

[@Sredleg]

@@gameyybuilds I really love your creative style, it's amazing!

[@meddy8216]

Wow! That is adorable! I love how you use random junk and left over bits and pieces then turn them into something amazing! Both you and Boylei Hobby have such great creativity and imagination!

I came here from Boylei Hobby Time and I should thank him for showing us your amazing channel! I have no doubts this channel will blow up in a short time (I mean in a good way). Amazing build and great editing!

[@gameyybuilds]

Welcome aboard! Glad you're enjoying the builds so far!

[@vaikesillatalu6811]

This is by far, the BEST Wall-E scratch build I’ve seen…. I adore the end result, it’s beautiful! I imagine your friends were over the moon with it! 🥰🤩 Totally agree about the whole 3D printing thing, it’s not scratch built if you’re using programmes to build it for you! It definitely takes away the charm too. I know of some fab artists that work with 3D printing and it’s great in its own right, but I much prefer this type of art. Keep it up, you’re truly talented.

[@ramsilva]

I think you really captured the spirit of Wall-E by using scrap pieces to build him. It was cool to see that junk pile come together too. The video production quality is top notch! And I can’t wait for the croc tower! I’ll post a pic of it on display

[@gameyybuilds]

Thanks Ramiro!

[@ashrendar7173]

a mix of traditional building and 3d printing is the way I've gone I made a diorama of 7th heaven from final fantasy 7 recently and I crafted it mostly by hand but I 3d modelled and printed some of the detail pieces I've also modelled little houses and trees for a diorama but made the base from scrap

[@unLuckyFetus]

Wall-E is super underrated. You're really inspirational, keep grindin craft wizard 🧙‍♂✨

[@SturleyArt]

You did a great job with this. The junk pile looks especially effective. The dry brushing worked really well too to create age and patina.

[@Gokou3036]

The arms and eyes on this build stand out to me as especially well done. Great work!

[@minisnmore]

What a fantastic build. If I hadn't just watched how you made this, I would have never believed that it was made from scratch let alone fron junk. Thank you so much for not using a 3D printer. The quality of your finished build proves that you don't need to have one.

[@queencityminis]

I love scratch building. I lack the skill and patience to deal with 3d printing myself, even though I do own a 3d printer. However, I think it's a great tool for creating details that would destroy your soul due to the tedium (like railings, window frames, things you need to make a lot of etc). Same for laser cutters.

[@gameyybuilds]

Yep, absolutely agree. I’ve since gotten into 3D design and printing and use it for exactly this sort of thing!

[@blackbat908]

[@earlware4322]

I'm amazed that this Wall-E was made with chipboard and pencil parts, from the thumbnail I'd have sworn it was a plastic kit. Incredible details and the painting is spot-on! 👍👍 Speaking of the insane level of pencil parts you use in your builds. I am pretty sure that you must have put at least one of the stationary store owner's kids through college and bought the other one braces. 😅 FYI - I watched your "Flea" video and had to immediately subscribe. Now I'm working my way through your other videos and can definately see the progress you've made as you get better and better with each one. Keep on keeping on!!

I think that 3-D printers can do some really cool things and make some really cool stuff, but I think the stuff done by hand is usually more impressive because it take more time and imagination to do them. That was quite impressive, keep up the great builds.

[@gameyybuilds]

Yeah, I'm with you there on the 3D printers. I feel like there's a certain level of precision and detail that is very difficult to achieve without it, but there's so much charm in knowing that everything is done by hand! Thanks!

Once you hit that with paint, it totally comes to life and we get a nice visual present. As for 3D printing, I would love to get one just to build set piece's for my Star Wars figures, but I'd have to have room for it first. Lol. Awesome build as always. 👍

I thought exactly like you being a modeller I was always against 3D printers but now I have 4 resin printers and can't imagine my modelling hobby without them now! Just opens up a whole new door for the hobby! Took me a good 3 years to get one this year but one wasn't enough now with the 8 and 12k resin I have I've actually got wall E to resin 3D print for a friend I wouldn't go the FDM printer route there not for me bit resin is jsut ama for the detail

[@S7AR2024]

As someone who models a tad and has a 3d printer, I don’t think it’s exactly cheating or anything. Because almost no matter what, you’ll always have to paint, and painting is arguably the most difficult part.

[@gameyybuilds]

Interesting take! For me the building is definitely more challenging than painting. Sometimes I'll have to mull over a project for weeks before I even start because I'm trying to figure out how to do all the different parts. The painting usually goes pretty quick, and I'm so relieved that the building is finished that it's very enjoyable!

[@gameyybuilds]

Thank you, still learning so much with each build!

[@DevilsCustomsandCreatures]

I am one who believes that scrap building is not "scratch building" when 3D parts are used. If you are able to make everything that you might need, then it does not become a scrap build. I do feel that SOME 3D parts are very helpful, I can't bring myself to just make my parts to achieve a build. That's where artistic license becomes relevant.

[@gameyybuilds]

Yeah, I totally get how you feel. However, having done a lot of things from scratch, and having kit bashed many more, I've come to accept that there are some things that are just far more practical to design and print. The skillset just shifts from building it manually to building it digitally.

[@BossBast1]

The base looked like chocolate browney cake. Now I hungry :D As for 3D printing, it depends. Usually for small detailed pieces with high quality, it is the only option (if you cannot find the exact toy you need). For example BHT uses it for the wild west animals and monsters, and that is fine.

[@gameyybuilds]

Nice, that seems like a balanced approach to 3D printing!

I'm curious, is there a benefit to using kitty litter vs gravel or was it just an availability/price thing?

[@gameyybuilds]

Actually I really like kitty litter (the non-clumping kind) because the gravel can be broken into smaller pieces very easily, and then broken up even further to make sand/dust. I currently have three different grades of this stuff that all came from the kitty litter. So I prefer it over real rocks or hobby terrain.

[@AdrianJensen]

@@gameyybuilds that’s great. I feel like I keep hearing new surprising uses for kitty litter.

@@gameyybuilds ha ha! Thanks.

[@singingReaper]

I understand the hesitation people can’t have with 3d printers since it can be a lot to learn up front and a time investment if you want to get the absolute most out of its possibilities but I view it the same way I do when I’m using pieces of Gundam or model kits where it can be useful both as greebles but also as quick ways to add tiny things that would be difficult to craft by hand

[@gameyybuilds]

Yeah, I’m definitely coming around to the idea. I saw a kitbasher recently on Instagram designing and printing amazing greeblies and really wished I had a printer to do my own!

[@singingReaper]

@@gameyybuilds oh I’m glad to hear! Yeah my printer has been a godsend for both greeblies or things like really small detailed things for 28mm scale (like last night I printed a bunch of tiny potions for a merchants stall). It’s definitely not something I’d recommend as a high priority addition to a crafting workshop, but if it ever is feasible for you I’m sure you’d find some great uses for it

[@gameyybuilds]

@@singingReaper What printer do you have?

[@singingReaper]

@@gameyybuilds Anycubics Photon M3. I got it and their wash an cure station for around $350 total and for the price it’s very nice build plate size. Anycubics photon mono is even cheaper, below $200 last I checked, and is still a high resolution, just a smaller build plate. When I was researching which to buy I chose it both for price and because with the scale Of dioramas, resin printers are best for higher detail in such small prints
