What I hope a lot of people, especially younger ones realise is that this doesn't require expensive tools but just creativity, a straight edge, and a lot of stuff you could probably get from a dollar store.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you Craig!! I 100% agree. I think the most important think is imagination. I have watched videos where beautiful objects were made from cereal box cardboard and craft paint. Thank you so much for watching!!

WoW What an outstanding build .

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

@@carrollbowman3382 thank you Carrol!! I appreciate your kind words🙂

An alien satellite what a cool concept to get the imagination flowing. 100's of years old, nice work.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

@@Timtime67 thank you Timtime!! I really enjoyed thinking about how I was going to make this satellite. My hope is that it could be fodder for some future builds and stories. I appreciate your kind words and am pleased you enjoyed it!!

[@erikaclark4952]

Insane amount of creativity!!! Those colors you choose are amazing!!! Great job and can't wait to see more!

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you Erika!! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it 🙂

[@amandaf4720]

Another amazing build! I love all the details and the interesting shapes you used in this one, and the astronaut investigating it was a really nice touch. Again, I'm really impressed that so much of this was scratch-built with styrene, and it looks just gorgeous lit up with that pulsing blue light. You do really beautiful work - thanks for uploading, and I'm looking forward to the next installment of your space adventure.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you Amanda!! I am so glad you enjoyed the build🙂 I am definitely in the process of getting the next build done. I just wish it would go faster!! Thank you again!

Great build well done! Your color choices look good too!

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you Trashbash!! I've been enjoying your builds as well 😀. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@michaelvaughn7137]

So what does this ancient alien artifact do ?!

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Hey Michael, thanks for watching. I added "satellite" to the title. This is kind of a part to a imagined story of the crew of my Pathfinder research vessel build. The going thought by those on the vessel and engineers back at CQH Aerospace is that this is a type of communication relay satellite. Thanks for your question😊

[@JohnGunter_Johnprime]

The satellite looks great!

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you!! I appreciate you watching 🙂

[@cheyzus7554]

Awesome. Really looking forward to more.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you! I just started the newest build. I wish they went faster 😊

[@TheAzPackrat]

Would love to see more on the Adventures of the USS Pathfinder and her crew.....Semper Fi and GOD Bless....

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you TheAzPackrat!! I definitely have a bunch more in the works :) The Pathfinder crew has a lot of adventures in their future. Thank you so much for watching.

[@reedrancho]

WOW! great job of creation. I'm glad your remembered the damage caused by cosmic dust and small particles having hit the satellite over the years (or alien time equvlent 🚀 )

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you!! Yeah.. I figured it just wouldn't be right to keep it pristine looking after all the years 🙂 thank you for watching!!

[@gpdewitt]

You might want to look into reed switches that are switched by magnets in proximity. You can then dedicate a greebly with an embeded magnet as your switch, completely invisible.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

That is a cool idea!! I told my wife about your comment and we started brain storming about the different greebly ideas we could do for the switches🙂. Thank you for watching!!

[@Mark-cl4dd]

Very cool build, thanks for sharing

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you for your kind words! Thank you for watching!!

[@lovingtheviewwithrussandne7462]

I am so proud of you! God has blessed you with an incredible gift of imagination and creativity! It amazes me how you can bring your ideas from 2d to to life.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you!! I love that you enjoy my creations right along with me!! 😘😘 Love you to Proxima Centauri and back 🙂

[@marcoscaba3846]

Great work. Your channel is the first one I've seen that makes modeling part of a larger story.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you kindly!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂. I greatly enjoy imagining how the story might go and what unique things may happen to the intrepid explorers. That is half the fun for me for sure!! Thank you again for watching.

[@brianstroud4990]

You must have only met blue light aliens. The green light guys are pretty cool too!

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

@@brianstroud4990 hmmm. I'm doubtful.

[@ModerateHipster]

I'm enjoying these builds! This particular one, due to its little details and color scheme, looks like it could be a piece of a Borg costume from Star Trek. Looks great!

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

I can totally see it! The Borg are definitely one of my favorite "villain" species. They freaked me out from the very first time I saw them on Star Trek. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting 🙂.

[@salc9593]

Great built thank you for posting this video of your scratch build. Looking forward to your next video 😂

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you Salc!! I got the construction started on the next one! I wish they went faster 😊. Thank you so much for watching.

[@earlware4322]

Awesome alien satellite sir!! The paint choice is perfect and that pulsing energy source 💙 is amazing! The only thing I'd have done differently would have been to add an open panel to show an access point. (Though I guess this was to point in the story just before the Pathfinder's scientist had reached the artefact.) Impressive skills here, so had to subscribe and I am looking forward to more content. 👍👍 Off to watch more of your videos.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you Earlware!! I appreciate your kind words :) I like your idea for the open panel. I will definitely use that idea in a future build. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and subscribing!

[@DavidMiller-cu6vk]

Great work!! You must spend a fortune on styrene sheets. If I were you I'd just go buy "for sale" signs. I usually get mine at Walmart, but you can find them anywhere.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you DavidMiller!! I will have to check into those "for sale" signs for sure. That's a great idea!! I actually bought a bunch of styrene from a company called Piedmont Plastics. I was able to buy about 40-50 sheets of 12"x24" styrene in various thicknesses. I had to buy $75 worth to get free shipping but I got a lot! I should have enough for a couple more models. Unfortunately, they stopped doing online sales so I will need to look around for different sources now. I'll definitely look into your tip 😊

[@DanMowry]

Really enjoying your work! I love your storytelling as part of the thought process behind what you build.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you for your kind words Dan!! I truly appreciate you watching the video🙂 I enjoy the story telling part as well. I like to think of the possible scenarios that the crew might come across! If you haven't found them already, those blocks are called 1-2-3 blocks. I just put an Amazon affiliate link in the video description if you wanted to see the ones I used! Thanks again Dan!

[@Dario-yd2zt]

But what an amazing concept combined with a great artistic talent. An old alien satellite appears in our solar system, with only God knows how many, many secrets and info about the alien species who built it (like the Voyager). Maybe a big satellite type S.O.S sonda with all the information about an alien race in the edge of extinction. But, do we get it on time for them? You see... you make my mind flying. Good concept for a great artistic talent.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Hi Dario! I'm so glad my build got your mind working overtime on cool ideas!! I think the same thing happens to me when I'm either coming up with ideas for my next build or while I'm in the middle of construction🙂. I'm pleased you enjoyed the build and thank you for the kind words!!

[@iainmcevoy1762]

I very much enjoyed this build and I'm very envious of the 'parts' boxes you have . May I be so bold and ask if you plan to add any form of markings or Alien text ?

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you for your kind words! It's funny you ask about the alien text or markings. I had originally planned to put some on the satellite model but I was getting antsy to get the model done so I could get the video done and posted. I am planning to create some kind of alien language, or markings, to possibly put on future models however. I got those parts bins from a local Harbor Freight and spent some time tying to get all the bits in order. Collecting all that stuff seems like a never ending process, lol. Thank you for watching the video. 🙂

[@glynchivers9519]

You Sir have great skills and amazing imagination

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you very much!! I appreciate your kind comments and thank you for watching my video. I had a blast making this satellite and creating the video🙂.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

Thank you Zekiakbas!! I very much appreciate you watching🙂.

[@Joel-ym3ij]

Really enjoyed your model making video, and I much prefer the music used from 18:30 onward. However the music used during the majority of the build feels like I am caught on a gameshow endless loop with a timer ticking down and I couldn't stand it (ngihtmare), so kept skipping ahead. I understand how it would complicate things to select music to fit each edit, so selecting one that endlessly loops is easier, but I couldn't handle it. You have great attention to detail, so I hope this detail isn't overlooked. Thanks for making great content, but IMOP this is one area it could improve. Everything else I love.

[@CosmicQuestHobbies]

@@Joel-ym3ij Thanks Joel!! That is great feedback. The last thing I want to do is scare someone away😁 I am definitely learning as I go and the music has been a huge sticking point for me. I truly appreciate your thoughts and I'll do some research and ser if I can get a bit better on the next one🙂. I appreciate you taking the time to give me honest, and constructive, feedback. It will only make me better!! And thank you for watching too!!!

Good Day, I'm lovin' your videos and that they are longer and really detailed. Could you show in one of your videos how you get your styrene pipe/tubes bends smooth.
