Why superglue and not plastic glue, please?

Seeing how Squidmar and 40kin40Mins are both building and painting T'au Mantas... you should make one out of sprues and beat them both to the punch lol

The paper stencils is genius. I have a project Knight I’ve been putting off doing since the big panels are spooking me a little. Excellent idea!

The paper stencils are a great and easy thing to do =)

First time the KZread recommendation algorithm has done anything good for me - brought me to this channel. I legit just throw all my sprues away. I'm so excited to make some free terrain out of sprues. I'm not brave enough to make this ooey gooey spruey stuff yet, but it sounds like it would be great for the WW2 concrete bunkers I've been wanting to make

That's so great! Everything falls into places so nice! It looks so easy, but that build definitely takes a lot of creativity!

These look fantastic! 😁 That last shot at the end gave me an idea... have you thought about painting up (and maybe even customising a bit) your little drawers to give them that industrial style as well? They look almost like ready-made terrain, so they'd blend in brilliantly when you're showing off your sci-fi builds like this!

So far, this is my faborite spru reuse

Wow, I am truly impressed! Leaving the materials aside, this is one of the best pieces of modular terrain I have ever seen. Hat's off to you sir!

This is excellent! I'll definitely use my sprues now! Nice stencil and sponge technique!

That is amazing. I was feeling proud about making bricks from sprue and building ruins. You sir, have inspired me.

As far as I have noticed your still the only content creator who uses the melted spru paste, you really deserve so many more subs! Awesome video as always!

One of Best scrachbuilding terrain... Thanks for your advices. Carry on

Awesome! once the paint comes on the bases actually looks really good. Also great idea on the stencils!

I love watching you remove the nibbly nobbly bits. Great work!

Gundam sprues also work very well as extra barrels or to lengthen the barrels. That bottle filled with the gooie stuff reminds me of great grandma's peanut butter.

This is such an awesome use of materials!

Incredible IDEA! Thank you for sharing!

oh i need to do some sprue boxes, because those are simple and pretty much looks pretty amazing. since they look so versatile. like having like 3 or 4 and you can make a small terrain piece that can be used for so much

Excellent build mate nice work and congrats on the growth!

Cheers bud, yup I only have a small work area, my kitchen cupboards are full of modelling stuff though lol =)

Yeah, the paint job is fab, it didn’t need rust etc. great build x

you could roll it out and get textured rolling pads and as it cools down a little you can do texture floors or walls etc like bricks stones and go for gold i think this is such an amazing concept

Oh quick small tip for Plastic Cement alternative, you can use Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner as cheaper alternative, you can even mix that stuff with Sprues to great effect it doesn't seperate as Acetone does so you get sprue Glue with different Consistencies depending on your Sprue to Glue Ratio

Amazing video, OMG!!!! i need to try this

brilliant, nice one

Hey, Love the videos, big fan of your work. I've been having a problem replicating the technique you showed to create the base plates. They keep curling and bending, even several days after I put the sprue goo into them, and having them flat between heavy weights. I've also noticed that even when trying to make flat plates, the plastic tends to deform and bubble as it dries. Have you encountered this, and if so, is there any way to counteract it?

Excellent Gorkamorka terrain too....

Excellent Idea well done

Do you have a video where you explain what to use to make the sprue gue? I gave a quick look through you channel and couldn't find it.

The paper stencils are such a great idea. After being in the hobby for a few decades, I have amassed a veritable horde of sprues... might have to see what I can do with them.

Just started watching the video 👍 You could also cover the sprue with plasterer's mesh etc for walkways.

I like the liquefied sprue sludge idea. That chemical tank looked a bit too... organic for it's purpose, but man, that stuff'd be great for making infested terrain for a xenomorph hive set up.

Thought of a use for your scrap, scrap wood, cut some ends thin, and make them tabs for the bridges and some of the bigger chunks!

my only concern is with the hooey-gooey sprue stuff :D. I put them into acetone but they didn't turn that soft, it is still like a plastiline, but still very hard to be modeled. i need to use a screwdriver to get it from the can, since spoons are not good because of the hardness. don't know how to obtain that softness. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot for your effort

You could leave on the spikey bits for Chaos decoration.

I like this. Could probably make a good diorama of a gundam hanger using this method.

Have you tried using used medicine bottle for cylindrical containers also being diabetic I get insulin needle covers for small chimneys etc. I hope this suggestion helps

I played 40k when you got your rules from the "rogue trader" manual and then the codex for armies started to trickle out. Then a game called necromunda came out and me and my miniature collector mates went crazy so about 96 ish. Now this was a time when most models were made of lead sides from there bigger ones like leman Russ tanks and such what. I had a whole gang of lead rat skins as in the underhive 2nd addition rules you could do this. So I had a ratskin gang using the finest card board cutout and clip together level making GW provided. Things have changed big time in the last 20 years. I've still got a complete 2000 PTS imp guard army made up of mordian ironguard, a baneblade, commissar and a command squad somewhere. You can't even buy these models anymore. It was the time when their main sculptor blew his right hand off Manning a cannon at a re-enactment event and he learned two sculpt all over again using his left ✋ hand. God I loved being a kid in the 90s

@willmarsden7657

Just started doing this myself! Put 100% Acetone (any brand) into a glass jar full of small plastic sprue pieces. Leave it for 24 hours and you'll see the whole content of the jar melt into sprue glue. Remember ventilation! :)

Nice build! I must mention though, the build would have been 90% faster if you'd just used some cardboard or wood for the bases and platforms, and a spent bog roll for the tower. Slap on some spackling paste and bish bosh.
