BASIC TOOLS FOR MAKING CUSTOM TOYS, SCRATCH BUILD and KIT BASHING
Ойын-сауық
I have many people ask me what some of my basic tools are for making a scratch build, kit bashing and custom toys. Here's a quick rundown on cutting tools, glue's, paint and sanding. I hope this will help any new maker who just doesn't know where to start. Some of these tips I've learned from Adam Savage on Tested, Cut/Transform/Glue (CTG) and Black Magic Craft. There are so many amazing videos on how to make cool stuff so have fun and go make something awesome!

Just wanted to let you know I discovered your channel yesterday and I love it. I'm into lots of things scale and buildable. I started with scale cars, but became disillusioned because of my skill level. I'm starting over again, and finding the love of just creating and have discovered Final Faction toys. It was upon this, that I found you, and had to let you know how welcome your approach is. I see and make use of so many videos out there, but you are right at my level with everything and I am so, so appreciative. Thank you.
finally i find the video you talk about the glue you use . thanks i never knew was more creators more then me collecting materials" but have sense , and we all learn from each other.

That little saw is great. I used my power miter saw, even on small cuts, and beside being sprayed with plastic shrapnel and/or molten vinyl, sometimes the little bit I was cutting off would just… vanish.

I agree, I love Adam Savage's thoughts. Start with a cheaper one to see how much you use it then if you find yourself using it a ton but a nice one. I love tools and have found myself running out and buying the most expensive tool out there and in the end not using it that much... 😂

I've found that X-acto Z-11 blades are surprisingly affordable at Hobby Lobby :) For small gaps, I use non-shrinking spackling ( also works OK for very small terrain sculpting when I do not want to use a paper mache base ).

Great video for beginners. I always used 2x paints to prime my models, but recently came across a video on why not to use them. I have gone over to Mr Hobby and Tamiya primers. More money, but I don’t get any reactions with the paint going over them. I started collecting greivelies a while ago and my wife hates me keeping the “junk” that goes in the re-cycling. Also, I don’t throw out any cables, I use them for power cords and stripping them for the wires inside the outer sheath.

Not going to lie, I've been watching your videos for a couple of days now and every time to mentioned Nuln Oil I ligitamatly thought you were saying Gnome Oil. I thought it was called that as another name for Drawf cause dwarves are sometimes known to live in underground cities and run smithies and such and thus would be covered in soot and other grime, so to me it maid sence because it was a wash used to make things look grimy. 🤣

Thanks for this....I'm especially interested in the 'glues' bit. I don't really model but am into RC and one facet is scale building/body modification - problem I've found is using stuff like Tamiya Cement or Tamiya putty is great for the short term but doesnt really hold up in our mixed seasonal British weather (so raining and cold one minute, hot and sunny the next!) I've started mixing the tamiya cement with hot glue to see if that helps and on certain shells (so lexan) it does help stick accessories to shells as I can feel the heat generated from the mix giving the indication that its all bonding and the chemicals are reacting. I'm a bit unsure of using baking soda, even if mixed with glue...I know in Sri Lanka (where my family is from) they make kites out of tissue paper (rice pape?) and v thin strips of bamboo which are all held together with string and a water/flour mix for the glue. But just dont think anything like baking soda or flour will hold up out doors when running in puddles/deep water etc. That said you've suggested some great products and alternatives to ones I'm currently experimenting with so many thanks for that. Def looking forward to trying these out. 😊👍

So i have found gorilla glue to kinda foam and expand. That being said I know they have different types now so they may have something that's not as aggressive. 😀 The BSI Insta-Cure also come in thin and heavy. I just use the medium because I have found it to be a nice all purpose glue. It doesn't always work for everything but it gets me there 95% of the time If you have success with the gorilla glue I would love to know. Thanks.
