I really like how the gaps and uneven slabs of slightly misaligned sprues of the truk fits the Orky "hammered and krumped together" esthetic. In my mind its much more authentic looking.

An old sandwich press and baking paper might be good for making large panels. Also if you're melting large quantities of plastic like that it's a good idea to do it outside as ABS plastic gives off toxic fumes when you heat it up.

@CeeJayThe13th

As a plastic engineer, what you're doing with scrap is truly amazing, and you don't even imagine the amount of sprues that is wasted in the industry, JUST GIVE EM TO THAT MAN

This is terrifyingly well done, if someone had told me this was a kromlech model or something at a glance I wouldn’t have hesitated to believe them

06:58 Orcs have pretty much won Warhammer already. While all the other races are struggling and suffering in the dystopian galactic war nightmare (except maybe Tyranids, they're having a blast too but as their a hive mind, they don't really count towards enjoying anything), the Orcs are just having a massive blast doing what they do, they love raiding, they love fighting, they love just existing in a massive galactic wasteland.

Its insane how detailed this is for being just sprues. You certainly have a gift and a lot of patience. Great result!

I have an idea on how you can make thinner sheets of plastic, dunno if it'll work though. Use the acetone method to make the paste and then spread it onto a sheet of foil, place another on top then use a rolling pin to squash it all down to the thickness you want, then set it to the side for a few days to dry.

This has got to be the most extreme form of scratch building that I have ever seen. And it captures the 'Ork Aesthetic' perfectly. Excellent work! As I was watching, I began to wonder just how hard it would be for Games Workshop (and model companies like Tamiya, etc.,) to actually mold rivet and bolt heads directly onto their runners as a "bonus" for scratch builders to slice-off for extra detailing. If nothing else, it might inspire more builders to try similar projects. Thanks for posting this!

If you take a glass bowl and set it into boiling water then put your sprues in the bowl you can keep them melted and hot for longer working time.

The concept of building stuff with scrap ist orcish in itself. 👍

An idea for the melted sprues out of the oven: Make a frame of sprues for each panel you want, and push them into the melted sprue before you let it harden too much. That way when it cools it should adhere to the framework and not fracture randomly. Amazing work! Haven't played the game in years but still love all the mythology and model work that goes into everything.

the rough and ready look works perfectly for the orks

Very Orkish! This was a great series of tutorials of using sprues to make models. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you so much, sprues for the win =)

For the big flat panel: Rather than baking, why not get an acetone/sprue blob, and then rolling pin it flat and let it cure like that? After the first day or so, when it starts to harden, you can probably cut it whatever shape you want pretty cleanly and then let it cure completely.

To get the plate of sprues thinner you put a few bricks on top when “baking” The replacement panels are OLDER, and off-colour, the BOLTS are new. Sterling work, I give it 78/100 Because no pressure mode… if you slowed down and did the details with care you could get maybe 95/100… the question is would you want to!? Great stuff, keep on going!

I love orcs and orks too. This was an amazing job. I love all your creative videos in regards to fantasy creations.

When you're working with the sheets of ABS, try using a heat gun to reheat the area you're cutting, it should help. You could also try cutting it with a band saw, ABS should be able to be cut without major melting issues unless GW has changed the formula they use significantly from the industry standards.

Bloody hell, seriously good job mate! Literally the only part on that thing I would have guessed was made from sprues is the tracks. This whole thing is genius. By the way, just a thought- you might be able to get thinner (and possibly stronger/less snappy as the melted pieces would be squashed together?) melted sprue sheets by pressing them in something while they're still melted- maybe take it out of the oven, put another layer of foil and a tray on it, then load the second tray with weights or something, or even just stand on it? No idea if this would actually work, but it could be worth a try.

Thank you so much, with the oven melted sprues I did try a heavy rolling pin on them as well as heavy weights, unfortunately as soon as you bring it out of the oven it starts to harden almost immediately.

when you melt down the sprew into a sheet, use a hobby knife and score your design into it and then cut or snap it like if you were cutting glass.

@@MiniatureHobbyist havent tried with sprues🤪. With hdpe, i sandwich the plastic between wax paper, lay it on a cookie sheet. Stack a chunk of wood on it, and put 10 lb weight on that. Alternatively, once it is melted, transfer to a press or pressure clamp arrangement - its gotta be really quick transfer. I end up with sheets about 3 mm thick. They are fairly brittle, tho. I can cut them with scissors.

AH! I didn't expect the second half to be up so quick! Final product looks great; especially the treads, give it a Metal Slug tank look. When you're heating the sprues in the oven, maybe try putting a heavy weight (cast iron pan possibly) on to top to "encourage" the sprues to flatten more.

Just a thought but if you do something like this again for a different faction, you can buy cheap car/auto-primer from pound shops that would help fill in some of the gaps. My brother uses it whenever he makes anything out of PLA from his 3d printer and it can really build up uneven surfaces. Obviously though, for the ork build it is perfect as is. Great job!
