    The fact that cat was supposed to be a one-off joke, but has now become a beloved mascot of the channel is truly a wonderful thing.

    Yay! Love this channel! K weird suggestion but how about a cat robot made of beads. Would be interesting to see how the people from your rust world tried to make animals from books but were much like medieval people and came up with weird AF animals based on descriptions.

      Cat is a demonic god feeding on beads. To suggest for Bill to make it a new body.... Is entierly proper. 😈

    I love the way you posed the robot. It really looks like it's moving through an environment. And VERY impressed with the work of your patreons.

    I like how the tubing at the rear gave it a perfect ro-butt.

    A little cute idea: If you still have that duck bottle head you could make a scrape mech or bot with the duck head as a head….. I guess

      Wow I didn’t think, that you would respond to a comment on an “old” video.
      I don’t know if there is an official term for what you, Studson studios, Bolei hobby time and scratch bashing does.
      But have you any plans for a collaboration with other creators like yourself?
      I just saw the video with the scrap titan, and it’s a bit sad, that the original beadbot got crushed when the other was activated. Another thing I like about this Chanel is the sketches and storytelling. You could just have talked about the titans awakening, but you also drew the original beadbot, the buried titan, it uprise and the crushed beadbot.
      It feels like you don’t cut corners when you tell a story.
      (Sorry if my grammar is incorrect, I normally don’t speak/write English).

  • @aGoshDarnTravesty
    @aGoshDarnTravesty 2 роки тому +9

    My favorite bit here is just how the feet of the big bot and the hands of the rider are built in place without armature. It adds so much life to how they conform to the terrain, and it really helps to sell the piece as a cohesive whole instead of separate elements attached to each other like you'd get putting a pre-posed model onto a premade terrain piece.

    Could watch hundred of episodes worth of beads bots. I don't know how you do it but they always have so much personality and never look the same.

    While it may just stun biological lifeforms, the Electrical Discharge spear is very much deadly to other mechs. Through the small but concentrated EMP pulse generated from contact it will irreversibly fry the most insulated circuits.

    New subscriber here. I've been jumping back and forth between new and old videos, and the care you put into this paint job really stands out. The zenithal priming and thin, colorful coats are a great complement to the trademark rustiness.

    Just watched your new video while eating breakfast. Very funny. I think that the model you created is the best one yet. The rust wash you put on after priming really looked brilliant. Much nicer finish than just the paint on its own. Wonderful as always. Only sad thing is, I have to wait for the next one. Thanks Bill.😃

    @JackedThor-so 2 роки тому +9

    I always love your builds and this is no exception! I'm a crafter myself and enjoy making robots and machines out of whatever bits I have, but they always come out strange and impractical - like you can't even identify what they'd be used for. So to see your creations that are very similar gives a lot of reassurance and inspiration. They're otherworldly in a good way - like if ancient cultures has metalworking / steampunk skills.

    Absolutely loved this one...makes me think of an alternative Wild West with 'bots rounding up cattle...except the cattle are pink and have 8 eyes and 6 legs and with spray venom on you to melt you down so they can eat you....still, they make great burgers...

  • @CobraCreates

    As soon as you put those first two pieces together I knew where the shape was going and I was very into it. That's probably the best thing about robots, you can make just about any shape work for you.

  • @ness8193
    @ness8193 2 роки тому

    Another incredible build, the crawler has such a natural looking pose moving over the terrain, and the rider was just what it needed to look complete. I just adore this one. For some reason the one blue leg is my favorite detail. Thanks for another great project, I always leave your videos feeling inspired.

    Was figuring out what I wanted to do for a new project as I try to disconnect from news going on in my area, and the video filled that need really quickly. Robots piloting or riding other much larger robots is an interesting vibe, probably on par with the start of your city for my favorite builds so far. Outstanding work

  • @timothyyoung2962
    @timothyyoung2962 2 роки тому

    Build looks great. The bot reminds me of a character from the old Wizards animated movie for some reason. Besides water pistols, I also like using dart guns from thrift stores or dollar stores. The more sci-fi the better. Tons of bits and the bodies can have cool shapes that can be cut up and used in terrain builds.

    HEY BILL- I wanted to tell you that I thought of using my mom's OLD LIPSTICKS for scratch builds and kit bashing. I am thinking they would be GREAT for hiding a gun or sword in them then when you twist them, the sword or gun would appear, then when done twist it and the weapon retracts. Well, I think it's genius. Just a suggestion. Love your channel! I'm thinking of cleaning the last bit of lipstick out by boiling the tube? IDK.
