Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you've been in the Warhammer or larger hobby for more than 3 seconds, you'll be familiar with the plastic models and miniatures that make up a large majority of it. But did you ever wonder how those models make it from imagination to finished product?

Cool video, except for the stupid talking pupet sections, not a fan of these, maybe I just don't get your sense of humour.

I might have watched a different video, but no puppets on the one I watched either!? Are puppets a reoccurring element in these videos 🤔

I didn’t expect to find that either! We just went to shoot resin manufacture!
If Wayland can manufacture this amount of sprues every day, I'd love to see the size of GW's manufacturing capabilities!

Games Workshop has made money hand over fist doing this, it's why they grew so rapidly from the covid bump in recent years. Their only problem was marketing, or why they didn't grow faster.
Just when I thought I couldn’t like Wayland games any more than I already do, Dave goes and drops this!
This channel brings me so much joy, you have no idea

That’s what I’m here for! Thanks for watching bubba!
Pro modelling tip: when you run out and go to refill your Tamiya Extra Thin glue, don't. Save the glass bottle and buy the 750ml bottle of "Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner", it's the same stuff for the same price (you can google that or check the MSDS for yourself, same stuff), but you get 750ml instead of 40ml. Old secret-not-so-secret modeller's trick. Plus you can clean your airbrush if you have one. It's a good idea to buy the actual glue the first time tho, since it has that handy bottle with the brush in the lid.
Is Tony available for consultancy work? The guy is a genious!
Knocked it out of the park with this one. Can see a bright future ahead for Dickensian Wars
I am a little concerned that Wayland may no longer has a toilet that flushes :(
This might be my favorite of your videos yet. Thanks for showing us how our toys are made.
I eagerly await my order of Wayland frozen eats and resin treats. Grand video, Sir. Grand.

Well well, now we learn that GW isn't the only UK games manufacturer making hard plastic models in house!
You are the spitting image of my wife's deceased father. I bet that's the oddest comment you ever had but it's actually true.

If you want crazy town for gluing... snag a bottle of the quick setting. Literally hold the pieces together, tap with the brush hold for like 2 seconds, boom, done. Great stuff. Thanks for the video, so cool to see it all made. Though now I'm curious about this Dystopian Wars 😂
Absolutely marvellous video. Insight into processes like this in the industry are so interesting and important, I think, for appreciating all the hard work that goes into the models we complain about being too expensive. Thanks Dave!
Awesome video, keep the chill vibes rolling Dave.
Great video, amazing close up shots of the machinery and the sprues! always a pleasure to see a new video from this channel!

Those ships look great, I just got hold of one of the starter sets today, look forward to putting it together and playing with them.
Real nice video, always fun to see behind the curtain. Good to hear you're a Tamiya Extra Thin convert. It makes me feel like I know what I'm doing when I assemble even tricky kits! It's great to work with neat and using it to make Spru Goo is another tool for the kit bashing arsenal.
Another brilliant video. The shot looking down through all the sprues was so cool. A really cool paint job too Dave.

Great video (as always) and very interesting to see how these plastic minis are made
So interesting! Thanks for the video. Looking forward to more in this series 🙏❤️
Another great video and a very insightful look at stuff that most hobbyists don't think about. Played dystopian wars when it first came out and really enjoyed it. Might need to give it another go
This is an absolutely top tier hobby channel. Keep up the phenomenal work my guy! Love from Canada!
Great to see how this process works, thank you for another great video.

Will never look at another kit the same way!! Fantastic vid my man! 👍🏼👍🏼👌

Daz is right about the DW models and their scale. You can go into some insane detailing and texturing on them if you want... but even if you want to keep things nice and simple, they'll still look great!

Fascinating stuff. 😎
Extremely interesting! And it certainly helps explain why our hobby is so expensive. All that labor and it all needs to be covered by a small audience.
You make very good videos. Respect
Super intersting video. I love how their sprues can stack, I wish GW would do that. So tempted to try dystopian wars out. The ship designs are fantastic
Educational and entertaining…bravo sir, bravo…👍
This is fascinating
LOVE IT!
Amazing video!!! Thanks so much for making this - was litterally thinking the other day i wonder how plastic sprues are made. The part with the steel plated machine ramming together, separating and then out popped a perfect sprue was like magic! Agreed, wayland games are just amazing - how can you beat best prices, great customer service and free delivery over £20?! Note - hoping they always keep that free delivery over £20 - that's their competitive edge imho.

Very cool
Hoped to see more detail about how miniatures done. I though after machining steel/aluminum plates they are polished or something by hand.
always a pleasure watching your stories, you're ace-pants for sure.
Didn't know Wayland makes their own stuff, I used to order from them before Brexit and having to pay extra VAT and import fees. Well, I only buy vintage models nowadays anyway. Cool video, thanks!
You should check out their game Wild West Exodus too. That's really fun and the minis are lovely
It seems so weird that I'm only seeing a video documentary like this now about the wargaming miniature casting process for plastics. Now I think about it I'm pretty sure I've never seen a video like this about the lead or tin minis casting process. 😊🤔😮
I worked like printer in standart print factory for paper marketikg, book making and more marketing things, but this looks fantastic
Whats the music starting @ 16:36 ?
I have to say there's nothing better than the colorful euphemisms (metaphors if you're Mr.Spock) of the Mother Tongue.
