Lots of teenagers about to google silicone.. for modeling 😅

It is an understatement to say that you have shaped and inspired my relationship to wargaming

What he said 👆👆

I do want to add that recasting doesn't HAVE to be this complicated (with a pressure pot and vacuum chamber). Recasting is SUPER useful if you need things like extra sets of weapons/upgrades that only come in limited quantities per box. Or to get an extra copy of a broken part. For the silicone mold, you can do a two-part mold by pressing half the mini into clay, pouring the silicone to get one half, then removing the clay, and pouring the second half of the mold. You just spread talcum powder or spray a release agent between the two layers to keep them from fusing. These two part molds make pulling out the model easier and remove the step where you sliced using a hobby knife. I think if you're doing a sprue of weapons or something that's the way to go. The pressure/vac equipment is great for making perfect stuff and well-worth it if you're planning on selling your minis. But for a hobbyist making copies of their rocket launchers or something, just using the stuff as-is should get you 90% of the way there. Many parts will be perfect, and the parts that aren't can be fixed with some greenstuff or you can just recast. I appreciate this video! Recasting is a ton of fun. My second 40k army was a Wraithguard list back when they literally only had 3 poses and came in mono-piece pewter kits. They were $15 a piece and I needed like 50 of them. Recasting worked perfectly and saved me a ton of money!

would second this. can do really rudimentary casting with hot glue molds. there's a re-melt-able poly carb substrate. i think the western name(green stuff world sells it) is blue stuff, Oyumaru is the japanese clear variant. i've even seen videos of people experimenting with silicone and corn starch to make a mold. don't even need resin. left over green stuff or 2-part epoxy mold. can jam into a mold... get a press replica of ...i dunno. a chaos god symbol, a shoulder pad. I've cast door panels to vehicles. and when you are using resin, have a little extra. great way to use that up. to have some of these smaller bits molds to give a go on ...and if it doesn't come out perfect. it's nbd, as it was mainly excess resin/green stuff.

Curtis looks like a mad scientist in a b-movie while he's working. Great stuff.

To me some of these are GW abandoned children. And in others, totally within their recast rules "making bits for personal kitbashes" and in the other, it's transformative into something outside of GW. I've cycled back into a dadaism and surrealist phase personally and one of their big questions was the nature of art and the absurd. Collages, found art, and a delightful dash of indignant kitsch. To me your army project really encapsulates that energy. It feels distinctly old hammer while being uniquely your own. It's got sovl.

Yeah, I recently stumbled upon a Space Marine from the 1990 Advanced Space Crusade game as well as a Chaos Warrior from Warhammer Fantasy circa 1991 (found them in the attic above my family's place when I was visiting) and I've been making a bunch of recasts of those just because.

Trent…we need to cook

"Make what you want to make. 'Cause you can" hits hard. I feel recently I've been caught up in needing to be "legitimate" in my Warhammer because I want to play with people at my local store and they care about that, but because of that I stopped looking at things in the same fun way you inspired me to when I first started this hobby. So thank you :)

Curtis' resin sprue details are just absolute genius. Frequently useful as small bits of terrain, barricades or base scatter. He's been doing it for a while and it's a proactive adjustment that not enough people in this industry have even considered. It's great that you pointed attention to it.

Miscast + Ramshackle Games is pretty much a match made in heaven. Curtis's models have such a similar aesthetic to Trent's; and Curtis produces lots of kitbashing bits.

I found your channel back when you were developing Arcane Ugly and forgot about it for a while. Years later, I got back into 40k and came across your early terrain videos. It was such a joy to see that this channel was still going and I've been binging it over the last few weeks. I was pretty melancholic when I finished your latest video last night, but then this one came out today. I'm really looking forward to what you get into next, regardless of your interests, my interests, or anything else. You're really an inspiration. Thanks

Oh wow. I didn't realise Arcane Ugly was actually available for sale. I just thought he got bored of it.

you're going to be walking around adepticon with a backpack, aren't you? ;-)

Love how the lab looks like something out of breaking bad. Truly gives it that grey market vibe.

Your voice in the tabletop community is so refreshing and inspiring. Thank you for not being bound by the status quo, and showing what is possible in a world with different rules. 🔓

makign the sprue into something useable is actually so wildly smart. i cant believe i have never seen this done before. 10/10 idea.

Absolutely beautiful, I feel the same way about Warhammer

Your videos are a joy to watch, I felt most of my life like I wanted to build different things, and yet couldn't avoid building and painting miniatures the way it was presented on the box art or on the internet, out of fear of failing the buiild, disliking my own creation etc. And this channel breaks a lot of shackles and padlocks in my brain . I only realised only recently that whatever I build, I can't really "fail", everything is a step, and I understood that thanks to your channel. Thank you so much !

Absolutely brilliant! From the editing down to the core message, and everything in between, this was just brilliant. 💯

This is very inspiring! You seem to have the same passion towards Nurgle, that I have towards Orks, want to make something that has never been seen before, but at the same time that feels like it is from the same universe. Real cool stuff!

Your video catalog is so rewatchable. I don’t know how many times I’ve done marathons of your videos, because they are so useful and entertaining.

It's good to hear from you again, and i hope you had an absolutely amazing trip! I can't imagine what's coming next with all the new knowledge you must have gotten, but i'll look forward to it and embrace it with open arms.

3d printer it is lol. That's a lot of work. I played with casting in blue stuff and it's real fun, especially if you find good parts for it. Space marine backpacks, tyranid limbs, Necron Canoptec Scarabs, useful stuff. Casting is a hobby in itself.

Hahah yes, it's a lot of work! I've enjoyed doing a combination of 3d printing and casting for different reasons. My brain enjoys the moulding and casting more, but when the printers work as intended just being able to come back to a plate of minis is awesome.

Everything you do is a labor of love, and it really shows in the quality and presentation.

I don't know how but you manage to perfectly sum up everything I love about the hobby and how it fits into culture more generally. Not just through the script but the way the whole video is made with the same ethos.

As always a huge inspiration for everyone in this community. I can only say thank you.

This is inspiring, I have been wanting to learn to cast my own sculpts for a while, once I find some more space than I've got to do it in. Good stuff!

I love this video. Not for the tutorial (that is still very cool!) but for how important the message at the end is. It's a whole vibe. Also, wow that walking house is incredible! I'm going to subscribe and I hope to see it more in the future.

This rules. I always love this sort of attitude towards companies being controlling of "IPs" as if companies make things and not people

I follow a number of crafty content creators, most of them to enjoy their process from the backseat. You are the only creator that actually inspires me and gets me to create and try. This video is your most inspiring one (yet). On to making my own bootlegs and share them with my friends

I’ve done this and it was both fun and totally worth it. Helped so much with building base troops in an imperial 40k army.

This is awesome. I've been wanting to get into molding and casting, so this is perfect. I immediately identified the Hero Quest miniature, would love to make some molds using mine.

you are the #1 most influential hobby hero for me, keep doing what you’re doing!

This was very cool to watch. Thank you for making this video.

I've been looking forward to hearing from you again!

Love your attitude and your work! Keep going!

I always leave your videos feeling inspired to make things, so thanks

Your video is the perfect timing - I was just looking into recasting my Warhammer Fantasy stuff! 😁

I’ve never wanted a bootleg miniature more than right now. The design on these is so good!!!

I always feel inspired to try new things after your videos. I think I’m going to try scratch building a mini or sculpting something simple and then try to cast it before the end of this year.

What a great opportunity. Love the hero quest aesthetic on that cast. Love the channel.

i didn't expect a video on bootlegging minis to be emotional.. but it was. and it was all the better for it. thank you for this excellent and very informative video (:

Dude, you’re a fucking inspiration! I love how creative you are, like outside the box kinda stuff. I’m super envious because I’ve no idea how I’d even start

As soon as I saw that front door i knew you were in Nottingham. I walk past this mini shop all the time and it reeks of resin haha

thats the smell of magic being made

This is sick. I love everything you do

This is actually a great commentary on the problems with copyright and art and commercialization of creativity, well made!

This was so cool! I definitely agree with your closing idea how the Warhammer is beyond GW itself (despite them wishing it wasn't). Very similar to my hobby journey, especially as I'm dabbling and learning how to cast and make molds myself! I subbed, looking forward to seeing more of your work.

You make me think of my dad who was an artist. I have so much of his equipment and should start using it.

I would absolutely buy a copy of that HeroQuest 4-armed beauty but I understand the grey fine-line. Incredible work, dude! That sculpture you work on at the end blows me away!

Curtis is a fantastic guy, and I was glad to see the two of you were collaborating. Your final comments are very much how I feel about this and other hobby games -- they're a folk artform now, not just a product controlled by a single company.

love your "big idea" videos. a real homie.

God your relationship with your hobby/passion really improved over the year(s). Thank you for sharing your journey and helping us improve ours.

Beautiful work and message

Missed ya, Trent. Excellent video.

lover ur vids and this style, really makes me wanna do creative stuff

Growing up and still living in Nottingham. It's crazy to me when I see/hear some of my favourite creators talking about it. Games Workshop has always been special to me too since growing up around it and always buying starter sets at Christmas. It is a shame they are going the way they are going but they will always be something that i hold in very high regards.

Brother; you are a true artist and I respect your philosophic approach to establish ethics (e.g. would you still do it if it was illegal). The fact that you share your artistic creations with your brothers is a good example of brotherly love.

Thanks for the extra tips when casting mate

Just found this channel and I love everything about it. I did a lot of modeling as a kid-- built a 40k gaming table in my basement, but always loved the modeling, painting and building more than the gaming. I am just now getting back into it and this is the kind of freedom and excitement I want to have. No inhibitions-- just vibing. Also, as to the question of legality-- yeah it's art! In the art world just about any modification to existing work makes it your own. Appropriation is a high art form and all of what artists make is borrowing from and building on what came before. Picasso (supposedly) said "Good artist copy, great artists steal" and I am inclined to agree. Anyway, awesome work! Been binging it all.

It's been a minute since I saw one of your videos, but I have to say I am totally here for the anarchic miniature renaissance 💜

Glad to see the Skaven heads going to a good cause! Hope you had a great tour up north, and hope to catch up with you again some day! Also, it's really, really good to see you well rested and not powering through on an hour's sleep, sausage rolls and resin fumes! 🤣

Great video. Very well spoken. Genuinely. Very nice to listen to you thoughts. Also, have you made a video about the progress/life of your walking house? Id love to see that. Loved it when you made the first one. Love it now. Not sure Ive caught all the steps in between. Would love to know them. 👍 Keep it up.

Through the complexity and depth of your videos' topics, tone and purposes, they help me feel better about who I am, who I was, and what the world and others mean to me. I don't miniature. I don't wargame. But I'm a huge fan. You're a god, Trent. Keep the conversation going, I want to know more, there's something I need to hear down the line

You're inspiring and you make the exact type of weird art my Mom used to make and love. Which is why I always spam her with your newest releases xD

Absolutely fan of all that work you put in for this video, and for yourself ! Your creations at the end of the video felt like "nurgly", but in your way, like a mix between Nurgle beasts and those classic fairies and gnomes illustrations, and I think it is a very interesting take on it. And, huh, frankly, the idea of beasts with cannons on them sounds like some silly idea of a Nurgle cult whose members are from the Dark Mechanicum XD !

Something that I learnt when I cast and designed designer toys. If you can’t afford a pressure pot, we use to tap/drum the side or on the table of moulds when they were setting. This would make air bubbles rise up. This method did not work as great as a pressure pot by all means but it did work quite well. Also I learnt two part mould making is much more easier in the long run then single pour moulds. Saves on trying to cut your sculpts out and time.

this is so cool, i really want to start casting now

Miscast is like the underground comics, DIY zine culture for the miniature world and its really awesome to watch

Omgg been waiting for the next vid 😍

Good to see you rested and energized. Must be the sun as opposed to the -5 morning of pressure pot testing 😂 Amazing video! ❤

I've been big into molding and casting (and recasting, of course) since I got into it during the pandemic and you know, it never occurred to me to do "bootleg" miniatures in the style of a "bootleg" resin action figure. Cool stuff.

legit always amazing trent

Each of your videos seems to top the last! Your ingenuity and creativity should be bottled and doled out to the masses as a way to solve the problems of the world! Thank you

brilliant video, love this!!!

You alway surprise me with turns your videos make. I expected a simple casting video and I ended up thinking about what the culture surounding Warhammer means to a lot of people. Well done sir, well done.

LOL @ that Mordheim window casing as part of the mold sprue

greatest diss track of all time

Man this Orc Sorcerer Miscast/bootleg miniature is Fantastic. I Wish i Could get one of those for my Retro Orc army as a Weirdboy. Its hard to get miniatures in that specific look to use in the "modern" game. But sadly it could be hard to run into you at a Convention because i am from Germany^^. Nevertheless I Love your Work and you nice approach to the hobby... actually you inspired me to do the retro Army about 2 years Ago. now loads of 2nd edition Orc boys and rouge trader cyboars later i found this video and loved the Orc sorcerer.

Came for the process, stayed for the feels

Yet again very cool inspiring thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

"Make your sprues cool and useful." Yes! The first time I got a mini (I think from Anvil) and the sprue was molded to look like planks of wood, my mind was BLOWN. This should be standard operating procedure!!

Thank you for this video. I have work to do 😉. Seriously though it was inspirational.

Really nice video Trent

4:49 Ok, I'm getting flashbacks..

11:27 I will never cross a frog or a toad again after seeing your work here.

Well said about the hobby being an expression. Thank you for sharing this mate. I love seeing your creative process. Can we see more of your Cultists of Nurgle please? Would love to see a mix of Mordheim and Necromunda warband/gang that could be used across both games maybe? Shout out to all the other people playing defunct games like Mordheim still!

This is the hobbyist's equivalent to Breaking Bad.

The ethos at the end about the "culture" of Warhammer was even more inspiring and heartfelt than the usual Miscast philosophical waxing :)

Cool as always.

I LOVE THIS!!

You got me with space skaven. I want to convert adeptus mechanicus

I've been working (on and off) on a WFB Slann army that would be completely impossible for me if I were doing it all in lead (at fifty bucks a pop for the source models), and it feels great to be recreating something from the hobby's distant past.

Honestly the "nurgle" sculpt you made reminds me more of " where the wild things are " then nurgle. Not a bad thing at all.

love ramshackle!

Very cool army :)

this was so inspiring

Your workspace has always screamed art studio, but Curtis' screams drug lab, and they both look awesome.

love ramshackle

pour and set some silicone and cut it into chunks, if you find yourself short of a pour you can introduce cured pieces to bulk it out a bit more. also goes for failed moulds or old ones.
