I used to do a lot of this kind of stuff but I've been going through some things and just couldn't, watching these is helping me feel like I can get back into the making groove.

[@createscifi]

love that

[@comfychairstudios746]

You got this, Cap!

[@byronbuchanan3066]

I just went through ten years of hell.... I’ve learned to use my creativity as therapy. Keep building!😎👍🏻

[@mrheisenberg83]

Man, your love of life and happiness is contagious! What a cool dude!

[@LycanRace]

Same back at you, bro! Friendliest, most positive YT-comment I've read in 10 years or so! Keep up the optimism! 🤜🤛

[@brycennicolas4545]

sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me

[@dillongregory3146]

@Brycen Nicolas instablaster :)

[@Nathankinamorh]

Please never stop doing these builds. I specifically save my plastic bottles for this kind of work. :)

[@mak8252]

WOW! i think i found my new favourite model-making channel...

[@mcopado]

One of the greatest joys I find on your videos besides the great tips and ideas is your infectious laughter when you start the video, and throughout your explanations... It shows that you are truly having fun doing it.

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@fabled-pilgrim]

This one definitely feels more conservative in design from some of your previous work and I think it looks great. Weathering is always going to be a personal taste factor. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@ShermanWilson]

I used to do this as a kid in the 1970s. I was really in to Star Trek, Space 1999, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, etc. I used to install fiber optics inside of my models. Flashing LEDs and wheat lamps. Thanks for reuniting me with a passion that I had completely forgotten about.

[@planetschlock]

I'll take whatever kitbashing/scratchbuilding videos that I can get. This stuff is endlessly fascinating to me.

[@createscifi]

me too!

[@dagnabbitztzu4835]

Impressive work on a low budget, Thanks for the ideas Captain.

[@user-gj3iu7qu8b]

Love the work, just started again with scratch building with papermodels . This vid really inspired me. Thumbs up

[@jeffcrist2977]

Thanks for this! Just what I was looking for. I don't know when supermarket kit building started, but this is cooler than cool. I have to go deep on this, it's so freaking elegant, amazing.

[@lasvegasnextexit1230]

I love your outside the box way of seeing the ship in the junk. I'm wondering why anyone would give you thumbs down when you inspire folks to make something from nothing. Keep helping to Create Sci-Fi

[@MODELMIND72]

I'm diggin it brother! ROCK ON! BUILD STRONG!

[@Skelly5962]

Dude, I became a fan and subscriber ever since I saw your Wakener short film. I was very impressed with the detail that went into it and your actors were excellent in their roles. Your set building and prop making skills are excellent. Now I watch your content on a regular basis and can't wait to see your next film.

[@lynnpeverill6959]

So much fun!!! I am making a starship adventure series called The Invictus Chronicles on a very slim budget. I needed a bunch of different ships for a battle and some for a space dock. I started with broken up nerf guns and other water guns and flipped them upside down. We cut off the handles and I just went to it with a ton of my dad's model building supplies and bits and pieces wherever I could find them. There was already texture on the guns so it was just a matter of adding a bunch more, painting them, and pinstriping some of them. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. You have given me some tips to make sure the pieces stay on. (A problem that I unfortunately encountered!) and also for weathering. Thanks for your enthusiasm!!!

[@createscifi]

sounds awesome

[@saglcakla3344]

I built a space ship by cardboard for my school project scifi short film and even l didn't use it much. Mine was a very big ship like 1 ft high 3 ft long almost 2 ft wide. Now your video open my eyes more better to build again with something has nice shape which is plastic. I love that idea.Thx dude.

[@Skaramine]

I love these ship designs.

[@jollz2492]

Because of this video, I got back on the horse so to speak and started sci-fi model building after a break of 20+ years! Am enjoying the learning curve and just how much I missed it. Brilliant video, thank you!

[@mikesmith2905]

Nice work! Now I am retired I make up sets of toy soldiers to give away to less well off families and one thing I get asked for is sci-fi. The problem is the 'rule of threes' (one is one, two is two but to humans three is 'lots') so I have to make three or more all the same, so those probiotic canisters are going to get used in future. As a toy they have to be robust (landing gear is a pain) and they have to have somewhere to hold them (so I usually add a fin of some kind at the top rear). Bigger ships can be made with a lift off roof so you can put people inside (with windows so you can see them). I get to make all the things I would have loved when I was 10 and as I give them away I don't have to find storage space! Thus far the kids have liked them and about 1-in-5 really 'gets it'. I'll take a look at your other vids for more ideas.

[@andyrogers6375]

Your enthusiasm and excitement is incredible! A pleasure to watch!

[@johnsmith-hw5oh]

as a model master i give you 7.8 out of 10 very original good job

[@AlsAutoandAppliance]

This is great! Brought back many memories of building entire fleets of spacecraft using lots and lots of cardboard tubes, poster board, and masking tape and erecting entire cities with cardboard boxes. Many would be lighted with LEDs or mini flashlights. Sometimes I would cheat and use legos. That was back in the early 80's, heavily influenced by star wars, buck rogers, and battlestar galactica! I don't do much modeling these days, but do enjoy building props, custom or replica. Can't wait to see the flyby video!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

That ship has visited a lot of planets with polluted atmospheres. That's how I see it. Nice work.

[@createscifi]

me too !

[@maniemane1030]

I am totally diggin this guys energy ...he enjoys what he does Nd it shows ... 🍻 cheers

[@appleseedgames6934]

I love this design so much, everything you did worked so well

[@TheMacabreGamer]

This is so inspiring. Turning everyday oddly shaped objects into a spaceship is bloody brilliant.

[@edfox6921]

That's beautiful!

[@paulrobbins4879]

I managed to find a local source for those bottles, now I know what I'll spend my weekend doing. Love these videos man, I have 2 spaceships in the works inspired by you! Keep it up!

[@jeremiahfelipe6386]

this is so cool! I wish I did this stuff as a kid, I'm 24 now and recently watched the Disney doc Lights and Magic about ILM and man I've just been watching these kind of videos like crazy. I make shorts and I adore Scifi but have always been a lil scared to do it. These videos are insanely helpful and inspiring dude. Keep it up and thanks for the help. I'm gonna start making Ships asap!

[@-MrFozzy-]

Somebody has been watching cut transform glue…awesome video, sir! You’re such a positive dude…it’s very endearing!

[@createscifi]

Wow, thank you!

[@joescustoms8321]

Loving your builds and your giggle is priceless

[@rez0071]

Looks great

[@keiththorpe9571]

Great build. Gave me a lot of great tips for my own build. Keep 'em coming.

[@murraytoews5353]

You are an inspiration! I made a bunch of "practical" scifi ships and sets on Super 8 film and later VHS.

[@createscifi]

cool

[@danbeck6689]

That ship has some beautiful lines. Awesome build!

[@TheBCmojo]

Your laugh and passion is contagious, haha. Instant sub, love the video. Cheers!

[@toaferon1822]

Those Yakult bottles have such a great history in Sci-fi kitbashing, glad to see it continue being used

[@Problembeing]

Love random KZbin suggestions. *Subscribed*

[@shadowandson3550]

Instant subscriber! Love your approach. My son and I were very inspired for a bunch of our upcoming videos. Thanks alot!

[@ufoclips1]

Great to see this,reminds me of Gerry Andersons early shows where spaceship controls were toothpaste lids and tons of kitchen utensils remade into sci fi props.

[@pfoster1666]

I was just watching Adam Savage's channel doing scratch builds using hundreds of dollars' worth of styrene sheets, pro-form foam stuff, and vacuum form machines. I prefer these scratch builds that cost tens of dollars for everyday stuff and cheap model kits.

[@Cottoncandycorner]

Love the work

[@Dilopho]

I could watch you do this all day.

[@JuanRamirez-xh3kc]

AWESOME!

[@docink6175]

when I started watching this video, it was the 3rd of the evening, I figured I needed to subscribe...I really like all things creative and your unusual non kit bashing videos like this and the dollar king ship are really fun

[@ScratchBashing]

Hey, don't stop man. I look forward to all of your kitbashing work!

[@xenoxxl8039]

That is one grungy starfighter. I love it. Great work.

[@fistpunder]

It reminds me a little of the Serenity from Firefly. Wash: I am a leaf on the wind.

[@carlpbrill]

OMG someone else that sharpens craft knife blades!! I thought I was the only one.

[@scottmantooth8785]

been doing that for years

[@Scifogon]

That's amazing.

[@MatsuoLano]

Glad this was recommended! Awesome stuff!

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@jorgenpinoy1724]

This is so awesome, i make diecast futuristic rat rods, but this is so cool...

[@adeptkhristossilvae2601]

The nose cone thing your thinking of is the English Electric Lightning which was a fighter for the RAF made in the 60s and saw service till the late 80s. Love the desing choice.

[@dagodone8714]

That is cool. I haven't done anything like this in over 20 years. I broke my hand, but it never heeled properly. I get cramps. AWESOME!

[@frankheubner3979]

I really like how this ship call backs to the earlier one with the open venting on the front of the ship. It helps build the narrative of the universe. Together they make the technology feel more cohesive and real.

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@richardsmith6738]

Looks great,love your kitbashing vids.please keep em coming

[@fixstarnumber1966]

Really cool craft !!!

[@Jagent]

I love your enthusiasm, sir! Thank you for your efforts. That wash dirtied it up super hard. Reminds me of a rusted car one of my uncles parked out on his lawn for 10 years.

[@createscifi]

haha nice

[@joevespaziani]

Excellent stuff! I’m motivated to open my bits box over Xmas!! Thank you 🙏

[@johnfwater2540]

Genius Job!!

[@manifestman132]

Not sure why I clicked on this video at 1AM. I first I thought the title was on a civilian ship or supermarket freighter. Tooth past caps could make nice flat engine intake cones or the other way around thrusters. Those yogurt containers do make nice engines might also make nice fuel tanks or cargo containers for a freighter. The plane is the BAC Lightning MiG 21s also had them as well as a few others. A real nice look to the ship.

[@TnMe72]

Great Build! When I do my wash I use Black acrylic paint a drop of dish soap an windex or dollar store window cleaner to thin it + the window cleaner helps speed the drying time. Just mix to suit your fancy.

[@brianartillery]

The British fighter you are thinking of was the English Electric/B.A.C. Lightning. Basically two Rolls-Royce Avon jet engines with wings, which, in the late 1950's could go at about 1,350 mph without trying. A huge, beautiful beast of an aircraft.

[@enter2059]

i love the way he makes us laugh though we dont actually laugh

[@mlee667]

Awesome just awesome

[@savageviking7062]

Looks so cool! 👍

You're amazing!

I really enjoyed this, gonna give it a go

[@unknown70000]

I like that you talk about your design process

[@createscifi]

yeah it helps me too !

[@bluethumbbuttoneek9465]

@@createscifi kinda like telling urself do it do it do it do it do it so go on do it

[@lardo22]

that's amazing you got me thinking, thank you

[@Steve20127]

Clever!!

[@seangere9698]

A tip to make glossy looking tinted windows on models is use clear plastic and paint the backside of it so it looks like real tinted glass. Works 100 times better then even the most expensive super gloss paint. You can use the cheapest spray paint and it will look great.

[@anadanyquique]

!wow¡¡ hermosas naves que realizas, Gracias por compartir tu talento,felicidades.

[@mossy3565]

Quick tip: If you're in need of bits for your bit-box, I would recommend scrapping useless tech, last week, I was going to throw out an old DVD player but chose to take it apart, found that the disc tray was quite intricate, some of the buttons were greats, cable sockets, all of it was super useful!

[@AdventureswithDreadandFriends]

Awesome! The blue at the end makes me think of gun metal

[@createscifi]

nice

[@mikekelley3330]

That recessed nose cone reminds me of the front of a mig. WoW this is amazing !

[@drigrid]

Very reminiscent of an X-wing, but more streamlined and without the wings of course. Cool.

[@seanhaney8748]

Enjoyable as ever. Quickly becoming my favorite channel on youtube. Great work and happy grieblings!

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@TheDeadbone1961]

Black nail polish for windows, meant to be painted on thick. I learn at least one cool trick from each of your videos. Thanks :)

[@natep5328]

Once again you've inspired

[@TheAtariCreep]

This is my fav kind of building. I have tons of bins of just random junk and I build stupid little things from it ALL the time. Came out great as always brother!!!!! Maybe I will share some of my "from nothing" builds with ya on social if ya want. Thanks again man.

[@garrynorth6269]

Awesome man, great build and great channel.

Nice space fighter.

[@BearRanger]

Very cool. Years ago my nephew and I would make props and things from junk or kit bashing. For a while I was making things I called cardboard wonders with junk for details.

[@philipgibbs9532]

Awesome

[@rex758]

I do like the ideas that you come up with, your imagination is great, and yet, you make them look very simple, really inspired me to do some models. Thank you for the videos. Great work
