Check out Bill Making Stuff and his Rust world. He doesn't present it with as much detail or scope as this world, Aegis, but if you crave more world building, Bill Making Stuff is worth your while

I feel that as long as only specific unique parts are 3D printed, then it doesn’t “ruin” the spirit of the project

A story & a show, you can't ask for more than that in light entertainment.

I love the mix of scratch building and 3d printing

Thanks. I know 3D printing isn't for everyone, and I don't enjoy it nearly as much as scratch building and kit bashing, but I feel it's so useful in supplementing the builds, especially with smaller, specialized pieces.

@alecwoyke9152

Agreed

As a modeler, I have no issue with anyone creating their own files to 3d print. It's no different than finding pre-made parts for a kit bash. Making a model with found pieces versus making a model from scratch using your imagination is always going to be more interesting. The beauty of a build comes from the overall design, and not the parts it is sourced from. The only limit is imagination.

I personally think the resin turned out great! The murky water helps add to the darker themes of the world. But of course amazing video! Every upload radiates with passion.

super hyped for your book

Looking forward to the book with the same amount of anticipation as I do for your videos. Once again, hats off to you sir.

Even with the darkness of the 'water', this turned out amazingly - the little details just barely visible in the shallows, with all the details on the strider, it's all so good. And the tiny details in the story, too, like the Pod acting like a lost and confused puppy when it doesn't have a purpose is adorable, and a little sad. It's clear the people of this universe have made some stunning advancements in artificial intelligence, and then forgotten how magical those advancements are. I can't wait for your book to come out ^^

Honestly the Resin coming out more opaque than what you wanted makes me think the Drone is taking them through a blighted area to a unspoiled fishing hole or something

It's such a joy to watch you pull everything together with so many techniques and materials 👍 Tons of inspiration as always!

Another amazing build and short story.

I am a strong advocate for the use of 3D printing especially when you already have an idea what you're trying to build, or have an established design language for the world your kitbash is meant to be part of.

Another incredible model my friend. Thanks for sharing. REALLY looking forward to the release of the book and audiobook too.

I'm always looking for the next visit to Gamey Builds and all the places where the events (stories) happened. Can't wait for the boo.k

Today is my birthday and my husband surprised me with one of your shirts and a sticker! By far my favorite gifts I've received! The quality is top notch and the design is just beautiful. I was so excited that I immediately changed into it and I am now wearing it while finishing up this video I have been saving just for today. Thanks for the work you put into your impeccable craft and thanks for making my birthday special!

Hands down one of my favourite worldbuilding projects! The run-down futuristic technology combined with the unique concepts and writing and the way they all fit into a setting that very much feels alive is real special, especially when telling it through model making. I look forward to learning more about the cultures and peoples of this world! And reading the book too, of course 👀 really glad to hear you'll be doing the audiobook yourself!

today is my birthday and i’m stoked to be here😎✌️⭐️

I'll love if you voice the audiobook yourself! I sooo enjoy listening to your narrations! Great video as always and awesome build!

DUDE!!!!! A SICK BUILD!!! And I just did a water mech to! Your stuff is legendary. Thanks for sharing your talents!👍

Another inspiring, great video! Perfect to watch at the evening, while relaxing 😊

I’m so happy you’ll be doing an audiobook. When the book was first announced I thought of suggesting an audiobook with your narration as your short story narration is awesome, but didn’t as I appreciate the amount of work required. I’ll definitely be buying it on day 1 🙂

The kitbashed, grungy, scavanged look is what defines star wars and it's one of my favourite aesthetics to look at. But especially this one you're using, where the in-universe builders tried to create something reasonably straight lined and symmetrical, not not toally wonky. And shear rather than rotate for adjusting those angles with constant width!!

Obviously the builds are great but your professional videography skills also improve with every release. Excited about the audiobook!

Love it. super glue in a reef aquarium you glue the rocks with superglue by mixing sand and glue surprisingly a small area can hold alot of weight also puting plastic spurs in your plastic thin cement creates a liquid plastic that helps with thin parts. You probably know that . I just want to help anyway i can so you can get more videos ❤ Awesome job

Hi there. You’re one of my favourite builder. Best ideas, best history, best beasts creating. But would you permit me to leave a little critical about this awesome project! The water my friends… a mech is in a moving situation no? Right! In this case you have to leave on the water superficial the Splash movements and much important, the circular line from the legs. And the best addition is the water flushing down from the moving leg. For the rest I love your channel and I learn a lot of building strategies from you. Nice! Thanks and hallo from Sicily!

Nice looking walker mech. That drone is a nice touch. It is a shame that the coral reef detail was lost in the tinted water effect.

I’ll give you a great piece of advice that I learned from somewhere in this interconnected universe of video that has helped me out in my current situation of kitbashing a Boss miniature for a game that I’m currently working on. I also have some cheap toys with the same ‘rubbery’ plastic that is difficult to glue together but the solution is quite easy and you only need two ingredients, superglue and baking soda. Something happens when you add these two together which creates an instant bond and on the plus side it can also look like a welding effect if applied carefully. I love this world you have created and am going to continue watching this video. Hopefully this tip will help you in future projects if need be 👍

@@gameyybuilds Yeah I know what you mean but fortunately in my case for my kitbash it’s not an issue because the miniature I’m building is a cyborg and for the finished details I’m not so much concerned with clean “welding lines” Rolling forward on his/it’s mono wheel, a conglomeration of twisted metal and mutated flesh, this monstrosity is hell bent on eliminating the Crew that has intruded upon the ship that was tasked to him/it to defend or be destroyed in the process. I do believe that I’m mostly finished with my build but every time I look at it to begin painting I think 🤔 maybe I should add something else and then the process of building begins again 🤷‍♂️ One day I’ll maybe finish building and start painting… maybe 🤔

What an incredible work of art with a beautiful story!!! I absolutely love this series!!! ❤😊❤

Excellent work; both the model and the story it represents! You bring up an interesting point at 11:20, about the nature of scratch building. I just turned 64, and have been model building for over half a century. I'm definitely a product of the Shep Paine school of "Creative Gizmology," and was also very influenced by the professional modelers at Industrial Light and Magic, who famously mined commercially available model kits for their detail "greeblies" when creating the "Star Wars" universe. It occurs to me that what you are doing is yet another iteration of this tradition. But instead of combing the model railroad detail parts section and plastic model kits from the armor section of your local hobby shop, you are doing this process digitally from a wide range of shapes available online that you then adapt and combine before printing them out to make what you want for your projects. And you are not completely abandoning the "old ways" - your technique (and the techniques of many KZread craftspeople) is to take the best of these model building methods to produce the best, most imaginative model / diorama possible. This latest entry in your "Beyond the Blight" series is case and point. Keep building, and Happy Modeling!
