if you watch a ton of 40k/model stuff it suggests some great smaller channels all the time. People complain about the algo but I find it works great for me ;w;

I do like my upright mechs, 40k doesn't seem to have many so I just end up making them myself a lot of the time

Easily one of the best kitbashing (in actual meaning of the word, not just throwing more or less random bits on the model) videos out there. Subscribed!

The terminology can get a little messy, this one is definitely building by mixing (mostly) two kits, but I've had builds which are made from random bits coming from so many different kits, is it kitbashing? converting? greebling? Hard to say at times

the more kustom is scratchbuilding. the less converting. kitbashing is middle between the two.@@DumbRobotStuff

Not that heavily in to 40K but love tanks and mechs and was just talkin with my friends couple of days ago how tank mechs are such a cool concept. I think the algorithm overheard me on that. Amazing work and a glorious end result!

Thanks, you should definitely check out TANKHEAD then, a whole built around cool tank mechs

A house painter tip to use on masking tape: place the tape, then paint a layer of the base coat. That way, any bleed under the tape is the same color as the base. Then after that dries, paint the second color. When you peel it off, you get a clean, crisp edge.

I've never heard that before! Thank you!

Always love the “tank head” designs. They have a more grounded approach to what a mech would look like.

I just stumbled across TANKHEAD and your video came up. It was really fun to watch and hear your thought process.

spent some weeks trying to kit bash / 50% scratch build a 15mm scale tankhead based on a Sd. Kfz. 232.... god it was brutal working at that scale... and then a flood robbed me of it. your videos inspired me to order another kit to bash... this time in 28mm!! I cant believe how tidy the whole thing looks. beautiful work!

Always happy to inspire more mechs being made, good luck

Great video. Lovely conversion. I love the side-by-side video style. I love that you gave us a nice long reveal shot at the end to admire all your beautiful work. I have a preference for brighter colors but the grey tone you painted was skillfully done and looked very professional when finished.

Thanks, my admech scheme isn't super interesting being mostly grey, but I've found ways to make it work with the levels of highlighting and little bits of colour around it

What a wonderful creation! I can smell the engine oil from here. 😄

this video is a rare YT algorithm W, fantastic video mate!

Saw the picture on twitter, great to see a video. I love the clean designs from tankhead but im sure they would look as cool with rust, battle damage, mud on the legs, oil streaks around the joints and soot all over the exhausts.

Yeah you're right there's definitely fancier stuff that can be done, I tend not to do a lot of weathering, kinda because I've not practised it that much, but also because I spent so long building it and making it look good, I don't want to make it look that dirty or damaged

First time here, great video. Love you detailing the background materials you used in the design

Man. If only my own conversions and builds looked this good!

gotta not worry bout $$$ and just go wild. that is the secret. oh and having tools, glues, paints and stuffs.

Way back when Tau first came out I kitbashed a Tau Titan from a Lego Bionicle as the skeleton, worked out quite well. I always figured the Tau titan would convert into a jet/aerial vehicle to drop in to get the mission done and fly away after :P

this was brilliant, I saw the finished build on yt shorts and instantly subscribed, absolutely love this build.

These are so excellent. I love the explanation of the bits you used and your inspiration. Your models are masterpieces.

instant fan... you don't how much i've been thinkering on finding way to make those kind of mecha like tankhead in 40k! Your stuff is amazing!

Duuuude!! I have been really wanting to get in Warhammer, not for the game but for the building/painting, but I have other things that require I spend my money/time on, mostly music as I'm a drumming instructor. This was soooo sick! I was sad after I watched this and saw there was only one other long form video that you made. Keep uploading man you just earned a sub, I really want to see more! Until I can get into this hobby I'll live vicariously through you! Can't wait for the next kitbash!!

I had no clue your channel was so new! I love your stuff, and have been binging since I discovered you

I saw the thumbnail and instantly heard the phonk music start in my head, I knew I had the gem of the month on my hands.

Love the panel shapes on the arms and legs…novel, and works well with the aesthetic.

So glad this was suggested to me - amazing work. This is so damn cool

Love the video, wish there was more so i could binge them. Although the side by side took my attention away from watching the process. I love watching kitbashing videos and seeing the painting pricess.

This is literally the cutest lil robot kitbash and i...desperately want one for myself now 😆 🤣

Incredible work dude! Looking forward to seeing whatever comes next 😁👍🏻

The algorithm delivers once again! Love this guy, I'm sure the AdMech has no idea how to stop him from slowly rotating like that.

welp ..i found u now ...and ill never leave as a fellow robot kitbasher this stuf just hits the spot

Thats some pro level kitbashing! love it

Saw some of your stuff on Twitter not too long ago (Your recent redemptor has been a massive inspiration and I'm trying to replicate parts of it on a leviathan) but seeing this is on a whole new level! The tankhead build is already incredibly impressive, but seeing your full process is super inspiring! I've been trying to kitbash since I first got into the hobby, and at times it's difficult to work out exxactly how I'll execute an idea. Hearing your process for starting, planning and completing a build is extremely helpful; and i'm fully planning on using it for my next build! Hope to see more from you man, it's incredible stuff to see!

Glad I can help with explaining my kitbashing. I slowly worked my way up to this point, I stared off with just simple head/weapon swaps and just changed a little bit more of each kit and trying out a new technique or two along the way

This is dope. This is definitely what I think of skitarii creations actually looking like... Great job! For not being a "painter" you've definitely produced a strong looking paint job /scheme!

I SAW YOUR PROGESS ON TICKTOK!! I'm so glad i found you here.

Great tutorial and showing your process and the end result is amazing!

i love this kitbash, its very well done. the only thing i would have changed is i would try to make the gap between the top of the head and the turret alittle smaller, seeing that the turret ring is a weak spot. but besides that little thing this is a great model keep up the great work

If you want cables or pipes that hang loosely, you might want try taking them from USB cables. Multi strand cable will last long time though not sure how well paint sticks to PVC. Other trick is to find cord in your liking and stick steel wire trough then shape and add little CA glue on the ends or coat the entirely to stiffen them up.

Phenomenal work, very inspiring! I bet you would love using the great bits you can harvest from a old VCR/VHS player.. just a random thought. Keep making great stuff!
