[@HasteHobbies]

Edit looks great to me. Feels like you teaching folks to have fun... sometimes we take stuff too seriously.

[@raff3486]

Exactly 👍

[@DJaegr]

Genuinely dude you overstress yourself so much. The edit was "a bit rough" in your mind but genuinely it was a great video as they always are, take a deep breath and remember that your audience just loves to watch you create, let that art flow and don't let anxiety bully you out of your natural chaotic and beautiful talent man. Loving the orkz and can't wait to see more! Be kind to yourself

[@Faoulon]

Bikes so good they make me wanna play orks.

[@camcamthesquatchman7306]

I've loved this series in part because it feels like when I'm visiting a friend's workshop or I'm showing whatever thing I'm working on to whoever's in the house at the time. At a certain point it doesn't matter what it is, it just gets my creative gears turning

[@cephala101]

You said it's not a perfect video but that's the best part about it! The roughness of the kitbashes and the roughness of the video go so well together! Your unique perspective and style is why I've been subscribed for so long. So I can't wait to see what else you make!

[@xruxkidanger7]

Love it! When I'm kitbashing, I often feel like the last ones in the batch are my favorite. I think I'm looser and more confident AND since I've used all the good pieces I have no choice but to get creative

[@jakestaples8498]

Good advice on “just start” and “don’t be afraid to make something bad”. I used to spend hours just thinking about what I wanted to paint or kit-bash because I didn’t want to make a mistake. Now, I just get into it and let things happen

[@JWbrasser]

As with all things, "Perfect is the enemy of done" and "perfect is the enemy of GOOD ENOUGH"... Nothing will ever be perfect but they will be GOOD ENOUGH and also DONE!

[@kreamies6720]

I only just got into warhammer/miniature crafting recently at the age of 27. I feel so out of my depth, I have none of the crafting skills everyone else seems to have, and I can't even imagine how to start accruing a box full of bits and bobs, but good lord you inspire me. Your energy is so infectious and your skill to turn little scrappy bits into full on units is amazing. Truly hope to make stuff as well as you one day. Hope you're having a good day, mate

[@ConjuredCraft]

If my math is mathing, you gave yourself like 7 hours to do the edit? That's genuinely fast as hell for a such a fun video. You're doing great friend!

[@jakelevinson7802]

There’s a perfect place to put some vent coming out of the spider, which I just love the idea of an orc adding vents on an animal

[@salizzar4118]

Watching him put things together and figure it out like his kitbashes like they're puzzle pieces is so inspiring to me. It's honestly the reason ive made my first kitbash, and why I'm finally considering putting together a warhammer army.

[@andrewashby70]

A man going quietly mad having the best time kit bashing. This is how the magic is made kids! Love it!

[@christopherjolly]

As a fellow Australian also pulling an all nighter - I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences on the creative process and posting them at crazy hours of the night/morning ❤️

[@waynegoddard4065]

Pretty much how I built my Chaos band of muller bikes. You've got me thinking of building something!!!!!!!

[@WarChimp]

You enjoyment of the creative process is inspiring and infectious. I think too many of us lose sight of that while chasing 'perfection'. I have ruined so many things that were actually good because I kept trying one more thing and not actually having fun either.

[@middlemousey]

im a literal professional video editor and I find your videos are always a great length, have captivating content and interesting cuts. Content wins over technique - you're killin' it dude.

[@unklesterben]

Keep it up, Trent! Love to watch you work. It's absolutely a breath of fresh air to just say "fuck it" and do a little project without knowing whether it's gonna be good or bad, because at the end of the day, who cares? You still made a thing, which is 100% better than sitting, hemming and hawing about the thing while NOT making the thing. Just make the thing. Make that weird kitbash, paint that model with colors you feel iffy on (I sometimes intentionally paint one offs with random colors specifically to fight that iffy feeling, and 9/10 times they end up being glorious and I was so happy to have done it).

[@HouseDM]

You did fucking GREAT! Can't wait for you to show off the green stuff and painting steps. Cheers mate!

[@michaeljames1334]

i wanted this video to be like twice as long. as someone that works in the creative field, i find a lot of inspiration watching you go through your creative process .

[@Zofour]

I mean, I saw the box full of other orders but I’m still unable to stop myself from oozing with some big-headed, main character vibes cause I feel like I just got to watch my “birthday present to myself” order get made WHILE enjoying my second Miscast video in as many days. I’ll ride this bubble til it bursts. Thanks Trent!

[@ScratchBashing]

0:00 this speaks to me

[@chrisantzaras]

The edit is totally fine. Stay on top of yourself and don't sweat anything. Just make and upload. Make and upload. Make and upload. We are all here to watch whatever you put up. Just keep putting stuff up for us :)

[@probeulater]

Watching you create is pure joy. it's fantastic seeing you go through the process and super encouraging seeing you go through the same struggles as us but pushing through and getting stuff glued together. Another great video, keep it up but most of all enjoy what you do and don't let creating video content take over your creativity.

[@notarobot528]

Everybody needs to fail better, videos like this are a great reminder that creating things that aren’t our best job is perfectly ok. Loving the vlog format so far!

[@papercode]

Totally love the forced freedom to make something you would originally think is rubbish yet becomes your favourite piece. I also guess as a creative its hard to put up something you're not sure of as its like a piece of your soul being put up for judgement and and feedback you take upon you and not the piece being judged. Love it!

[@AlexDeMiro]

"not perfect"? it's brilliant, perfectly on-brand

[@ThomAshworth]

Perfect is the enemy of good. The things you make are great. I hope you can keep finding the energy to make more.

[@darvidoba6702]

This video very much displays what I love about kitbashing. Great to see your joy doing it.

[@jasonhudson7697]

Making bad stuff and mistakes are part of the process...which I still have anxiety about, but I have learned to repurpose and learn from it. SHARING makes it easier and helps my cohorts.

[@louislowery2877]

It doesn’t have to be perfect, that is perfection. It is what it is, enjoy the ride! Art, creativity is just that. It’s ALL good! Thanks again great stuff

[@Zambies]

“I could think forever but it’s better to start hacking” - best advice. Too often do we spend too much time brainstorming and not enough time just doing. Your enthusiasm for the hobby is so contagious.

[@Ech_The_Sentiant]

I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I just work way too hard on my projects and burn my self out. I never really thought of making something small and then leaving it small. It always spirals out of control and becomes colossal in scope.

[@CronosVids]

The rough edit fits rough and ramshackle conversions. And since it’s all advice on how to improve, it fits the subject perfectly.

[@BlackwaterTales]

Your work is incredible. You have a real knack of finding joy and beauty in the places most wouldn't think to look. Very inspiring stuff!

[@justry1104]

That carriage gave me an idea. How about an ork or goblin driving a carriage full of squigs with plans to unleash them.

[@blahblah-hw3xg]

Those bikes are just insanely cool - possibly my favourite thing you've made!

[@FirstThenLast13]

The snail one is so good

[@DaemonSmith1]

I know this feeling... It sucks cause it always comes right when you've hit your stride and you fake yourself out. You've got the best mentality about it though! Good on you Trent!

[@chimkennungats1037]

I... don't know what you mean by the edit being rough? This video turned out fantastic. Congrats on getting it out quickly! Seriously adore how chaotic/ chaos these warbikes turned out.

[@lofiworkshop]

Just making something and accepting it might suck is essential to my creative process lately. Love the video, Trent. Creative kitbashes and great relatable content.

[@goblincavecrafting]

The most relatable content in the hobby to be honest. I haven’t made a ‘making project’ video for KZbin for, what, two years now? And it’s for exactly the same reasons you listed at the start. I admire your artistic creativity and imagination, and this is one of my favourite videos from you because of the mix of humour and honesty, as well as the delight on your face with that one mini :). Thanks for being brave enough to share something you weren’t sure about (it’s wonderful, don’t worry!!) and I look forward to future videos :)

[@RenMomoDotPog]

yknow, I haven't watched the video yet but I just like how positive the whole "outside of just warhammer" mini painting/mini-adjacent community is. I also am knee deep in video games and with how corporate that feels and how everyone seems to be at each other's throats all the time, I can't help but feel good about all the collaboration and just good vibes happening all the time

[@capnskustomworks]

Important points!!! It’s the easiest thing as a creator to just keep thinking, “oh, this would be even better”, until ye never finish.

[@harlandmountain7998]

Hey, miscasts and misprints are great kitbash/terrain fodder. I had a misprinted golem that's going to be cut down and buried in rubble for some scatter terrain.

[@LukasEisenring]

Love your laugh when finding the perfect combination of bits. It's contagious. :D

[@OliverWallaceStories]

Yes - loved it Trent, well done for pushing to get faster and leaving your perfectionist at the bar - the edit was plenty good enough and you can so trust that seeing you make and hearing you talk about the propcess is enough without fancy video tricks - though of course if they end up being part of wht you are enjoying making then thats fine too. Basically from this side of the screen just getting to spend more time in your studio soaking up that infectious creative joy is great. Thank you.

[@skiesquiggles7319]

It was delightful to see you build those ork bikers

[@kallesvensson253]

I really enjoy thise vlog style post you been doing. Love watching you being creative in you studio. Kinda my hobby dream tbh! :)

[@Atsu333]

Oddly enough I think this was what I needed. I've got a table of stuff to be painted, and half of it is just generic D&D monsters that aren't inspiring me. I think it's time to cut them up and make a bits box so I can start experimenting more.

[@wellwasp]

Poor H2 Br0 he just wanted to give people of the wasteland water, and now he's grafted on a chaos hound... very fun models

[@aske202]

Another bloody fantastic video. Feels like hanging with a mate talking the hobby. Your point about not getting too caught up in thinking, and instead to get busy doing is really awesome. For months I've been turning an idea for an Animorphs/Locke & Key mashup campaign for my group, but keep worrying that actually building/running it will "ruin" it. That changes today. I've picked the game system to build it with, and am starting to write and stat up the adventure. :) Never let the desire for perfection get in the way of achieving something fun

[@bluekiwi42nd12]

Awesome! My favourite one was the snail ontop of the tracked bike

[@MikeCampo]

This looks so fun! I don't own a single miniature, but watching you kitbash makes me want to start a collection and one day make my own mashups!

[@generalbergfruhling3150]

One of the best hobby advice I found out for myself is to dumb down the project or certain elements of it, if you realize you can't get the materials and you lack certain skills. Improvisation was the best inspiration for most of my works.

[@Monty7hePython]

Edit looks great man! Love the footage of you kitbashing/problem solving, it's just so fun and relatable. Your advice is always solid too. I still use that super glue and blue tack trick you showed in a video a while ago! I have basically replaced greenstuff except for details haha. Great idea with the deadlines but don't be too hard on yourself!

[@LooseGroose]

I love how joyful these models made you. The best part of this video was watching you have a good time. Also "I don't know if I have enough bits". I can't imagine having as many bits as there were just on your table Cheers, Trent 😆

[@LooseGroose]

You're a killer, Trent! Loved this vid!

[@sebastiantrost6409]

Don't push yourself buddy, we'll be here when a video goes online 😊 Sadly I have to go to work, before i get watch the rest, but I'll be here again this evening, while hacking the legs of two wraith lords into bend shapes. Love your energy and free chaotic vibes - it relaxes me on some primal level. Also kitbashes are the best when the form on themselves- I once messed up the arm of a primaris vanvet with glue, now he is my favorite with that simple purity seal covering the spot. Make a mistake, find a solution, repeat :)

[@EvanMonsma]

Thanks for the video- I needed this at the moment lol. Impressive 1-day production!

[@blockprime3006]

On behalf of Ork players, you really know how to Ork properly, well done

[@jeremyschmidt4012]

Dude your shit is so inspirational you could card board and duct tape the edit and I’d come back. So pumped on seeing more content, you are the inspiration I need to let go and let it ride. Keep up the great content I’ll always watch your videos.

[@nightcitycrafts]

I was think about this all the time, so It's nice to see that I'm not alone. Of corse I only shoot when I work on a project, but maybe this will give me steam to do more in the future. Thanks, Trent.

[@stephenrose3202]

Worst things that can happen when working on a hobby? You use more expensive materials than you can afford or your tools explode. Yay for budget keeping, skill building, and safety training.

[@mnordahl80]

Please make a video where you make them table ready. And why not later a recap of how they did on the tabletop. I love how they turned out and I can so relate to the feeling of making something that when looking at it after you think how did i make that. Love your videos mate🎉.

[@Wijkert]

How you do Warhammer is completely the opposite of me. But that's a good thing, because it's very healthy for me to see someone just going for it, instead of taking their sweet, sweet time.

[@wingp.7127]

You are such a great inspiration, make sure you take care of yourself!

[@bryce3907]

8:46 He did it the madman finally did it, he said the name of the channel.

[@loveminis31]

To me the whole point to building anything is that it is fun.

[@ManglingMinis]

Absolutely just loved watching you have fun making stuff. Absolutely infectious and makes me want to build weird shit

[@russwilson8558]

Awesomely cool! I thought the spider one could have used an elongated abdomen and a few more legs, but that's just me. Video was great, too!

[@Corvuscraftminis]

I just chose to start 40K with Black Templars but your bikes are so cool that now I want to play Orks too ! Ps : You even manage to make me want to film and share my journey ! \o/

[@arjade_24]

This is probably my favourite video of yours. Haha. Just watching you noodle around was super authentic and inspired me to want to do some kitbashing. I love the models and i love the video. More of these ... Lets say "underproduced" even though its totally not...videos please

[@PotentElectron]

I was hoping you picked thw ork bikes and am very happy. Love em man!

[@gabrielkientz6103]

Very cool video as always. I know it’s easy to say, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself on having to create something perfect. I enjoy your channel more for the journey than the destination 🫶

[@NateMcQuade]

Great vid. Heart the vibe you always bring.

[@gungagaslayer9216]

1:22 OMG he said it, he said the thing!!!!!!

[@Atmoseeker]

I gotta do the same. I wanna get faster at getting videos out. This was inspirational to see the process. Great work mate! And yeah come to Melbourne!

[@waynegoddard4065]

Spinning round they look nice.

[@KontoMein]

I just ❤️ your videos, they are Art, they are beautiful and they are highly inspiring.

[@utiutLUP]

I love the chaos orc stuff

[@pixeltrash5098]

deadlines for yourself are good - but dont forget to enjoy yourself!

[@christianthomas1474]

loving how many recent videos there have been

[@quitamgogh]

the cut at 11:21 .... brill, baby. Brill!

[@WulvenKraft]

If only mate! When it's ready it's ready 🤣 Although I'm with you on the building of cool stuff. The Ork Trukk I'm working on blows my mind every time I look at it 🤣

[@coltonsperal2033]

My favorite is the snail biker!

[@TJtheBee]

Those boyz are awesome. Can totally appreciate the "just fucking make stuff" philosophy...I'm trying to execute that right now, but it's so FUCKING HARD. Why can't "maker of things" be a job title?

[@TJtheBee]

By the by - will there be any more garbo toads? I had an idea and also I want to support you.

[@bloodbarage]

I saw that last part on June 28th, on the morning of June 27th. Trippy.

[@tjeerdposthuma6992]

Awesome artist making awesome orkbikes in an awesomely edited video! Keep on doing what you do best, Trent!

[@viktore9199]

these videos always inspire me to create something wild!

[@killdeer]

I love the vlog series because it makes me feel like I have a hobby friend. I'm older and getting into solo wargaming stuff and have no friends other than online who are into this stuff. Its been great to sort of experience your creative ups and downs and feel parasocial

[@aWOLtrooper]

Great stuff, always enjoy your work.

[@cizeek9748]

Dude, not going to lie, but this video was one of my favourites... so keep it up and dont stress it!

[@ThewickedVik]

I loved the video! Just fun to watch you make stuff

[@BajkonurBobby]

Well practiced, man. Well done! And it came out wonderful. 👍👍😊

[@Moonguy13]

Yeaah !! More miscast.🎉

[@Cybermunky7]

Hell yeah brotato chip. Just made my Tuesday way better.

[@TheCheeseKnees97]

Ive been falling off of your content recently, but this video is probably one of your best. I really hope to see more rough and ready videos from you!

[@QDurlstonP]

Mad respect, cool minis + fun video. Looking forward to the follow-up painting, gritting, and tying together of these minis for your 10th game 😁

[@lonestarminis]

Thanks for making awesome stuff

[@mononuk]

Great video as always, thanks for sharing!
