Goobertown is back! I wandered off for a little bit there, but all is well- I was working on too many projects at once and forgot to actually finish anything ;-) Thanks for tuning in, there’s a lot of fun stuff on the way!
I love Pile of Potential. It helps me organise projects and what unfinished minis I have left. It's not a massive thing, but I also like the name over the shame connotation. We all know how difficult painting and progressing can be mentally, and I think the words we use to think about and describe our projects and goals can make a difference to our experience of the hobby.
I agree mate, i came here to write pretty much the same thing, never liked the "pile of shame" phrase at all but i loved the new term from Brent "Pile of Potential" it just makes me excited hearing it said that way! ^_^
I’m so glad I found your UA-cam channel. It’s so relaxing listening to you talking. You have such a calming voice it really helps with my anxiety Thank you so much Brent
These random mini painting challenges with kitty cameo appearance is always fun to watch. You should publish the random color scheme list online for everyone to try it out.
I'm happy to see that you've got smaller, more affordable companies represented. If someone felt like doing the challenge along with you, they wouldn't have to decide between new models and eating for the week.
Pile of opportunity sounds way better than pile of shame so does treasure trove lol unbuilt and unpainted minis are projects waiting to be explored Lovely video and awesome scene
A new Goobertown video! Great choice with the mini roulette, the result was fantastic. So many opportunities with that mini but I think you picked the best one. -John
It always feels like my bloodpreasure eases off and relaxation kicks in as soon as i see a Goobertown Hobbies video. There is a joy to painting here i don't find many other places. Miscast, Black Magic Craft and Pete the Wargamer is a wonderful source of inspiration and creativity. For painting skills there are so many I could not mention them, but with Brent, here i just relax and find the joy of the hobby.
Hey man, I got served your video on pin lining by the algorithm 2 days ago. Had a look around and the big tutorial video on painting you did is one of the best I have ever seen, subbed after that. But what has really kept me bingeing your back catalog is your attitude and enthusiasm, it's infectious. Thank you for sharing it with the community in general and me in particular.
Looks great. Suggestion: keep the model on a base and make a recess in the display to drop her in. That way, you can remove her for gaming use and/or put another model on the display.
Nice project and sweet video too! You have a real steady way of working and speaking. I enjoyed the selection process and it turned out perfectly! I was surprised at the laser etching label, but it looks so nice I guess it was worth the price. I hope you have time for more videos in the near future and here's to that time! Be safe and take care of yourself and your animals too!
I'm a new guy (subscriber) to the channel but all I can say is where were You in 1987 when I needed you so much Sure our miniatures were made out of mostly lead but they called them pewter. Hahaha. Love this channel. You bring something to the gaming table that just makes me feel at peace. And that's just not a normal thing in today's day and age.
Your whole take on this hobby, and your general attitude makes you one of my favourite content creators. So needless to say, I've been rather impatiently waiting for your return and I'm glad that that day has come.
The pile of opportunity name really helps me feel better about all this unpainted, unbuilt plastic. Just used the absolute freedom of all that plastic to convert some custom eldar rangers- and hearing that name really helped emphasize to me that I could never just have fun like that if I didn't have all of it.
That's a lovely eclectic selection of minis. All of them a painter's dream. I think I'd definitely side with UK Hobby Room and say this deserves being called a Pile of Potential rather than a Pile of Shame. PS. Cats are our overlords. That will never change.
So glad you are back Brent! Have been waiting to post on a recent video! You have inspired me to dive deep into this hobby! Thank you so much for the content!
Snuffles has a very unique coat. I don't know that I've ever seen that mix of what looks like tortoise shell and tabby. Lovely mix of orange and browns. Oh wait.. this is about miniatures. Carry on. XD
Your back, thank god. I was getting a bit concerned and was running a little low on modelling insperation. I am glad to see your channel has a new vid up. Time to get inspired once again.
i really recommend the paint bravely podcast! there is enough brent there to keep you entertained, as well as casey from ebay miniature rescues, it is awesome, and definetly one of my favourit podcasts!
Shadow sea is a great game and the miniatures are amazing. Cheers and happy to see you paint something that I have painted on my channel. Awesome video as always brother. Till next time
This is exactly what I needed on a dark a damp Monday afternoon. A nice feel good video from Brent. Nice to see you back dude, video was super relaxed easy viewing. The vignette turned out great too.
I really love how people in this hobby seem to be able to look at a big pile of unrelated rubbish (like a futon in this case) and see something exciting or useful or just interesting.
Always fun to see the stuff from your closet of opportunity. Next time when getting this skirmish choice, hopefully you can have double your fun & pick a random character/scheme from both factions.
Goobertown is back! I wandered off for a little bit there, but all is well- I was working on too many projects at once and forgot to actually finish anything ;-) Thanks for tuning in, there’s a lot of fun stuff on the way!
Yahoo! Glad all is well and excited for your new video!
Welcome back!
Multiple projects at once might mean we’ll get a load of new videos soon then?
I was wondering the other day if something had happened! Glad to hear all is well :)
I can relate. I usually use another project to procrastinate on the other four I need to get done.
Snuffles is the host now.
indeed. :-)
Snuffles deserves the spot.
Snuffles always show his bum bum! I try bark at him so he stop, but he no listen! 😠🐶

YAY! Back in action. Missed ya Brent
"Pile of opportunity" instead of "pile of shame". It's the little things like that which makes this channel so positive! Awesome work as always!
I really miss these roulette painting videos. Do you think you'll revisit them again? Hope all is well, you've been a joy to watch and learn from!
I love Pile of Potential. It helps me organise projects and what unfinished minis I have left.
It's not a massive thing, but I also like the name over the shame connotation. We all know how difficult painting and progressing can be mentally, and I think the words we use to think about and describe our projects and goals can make a difference to our experience of the hobby.
I use pile of potential too. "shame" is better optimized for clickbait though... such is life!
@@GoobertownHobbies Haha I figured! Thanks for another lovely video.
I use Mountain of Opportunity when talking about mine. Great point!
I agree mate, i came here to write pretty much the same thing, never liked the "pile of shame" phrase at all but i loved the new term from Brent "Pile of Potential" it just makes me excited hearing it said that way! ^_^
Good to see you back man - you had me worried!
Imagining goobs scuttling down the street with his arms full of broken fouton parts is very amusing
It was back when I lived in Boston. I only had to carry the parts from this one a couple of blocks, but I thought it was pretty funny too hehehehe :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies Woah, hello from New England! How long were in the area for?
I’m so glad I found your UA-cam channel.
It’s so relaxing listening to you talking.
You have such a calming voice it really helps with my anxiety
Thank you so much Brent
I'm glad that you're here! Hope you're having a good one :-)
Good to have you back!
These random mini painting challenges with kitty cameo appearance is always fun to watch. You should publish the random color scheme list online for everyone to try it out.
Glad to see your mix of positivity, craftmanship and innovation is back
I was worried the kiddies had chased you off. Good to see you are back just being you.
This is a nice watch while cooking.
oooh, I hope it was delicious! :-)
Snuffles knows who the star is
I'm happy to see that you've got smaller, more affordable companies represented. If someone felt like doing the challenge along with you, they wouldn't have to decide between new models and eating for the week.
Snuffles is making sure no cheating was happening. 😂 😸

So happy to see another Goobertown Roulette! I love that you don't do/use a re-take when your cats decide to co-star.

Nice mini diorama. Good job.
Great paint job Brent! Fun to watch this one!
Looks great. Suggestion: keep the model on a base and make a recess in the display to drop her in. That way, you can remove her for gaming use and/or put another model on the display.
Oh! I like that! :-)
Very cool Brent. I dig that terrain. Very unique.
Wow those temple walls have wonderful details and the mini looks gorgeous. Fantastic job.
I tried to do a pile of shame style video but the wall of miniatures fell on me and I am unable to move.
hehehehe I understand! I only made a small pile and snuffles knocked it right over :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies My love of cheap miniatures has drawbacks... Ah well. I can always give away more minis to local people and ebay the rest.
Nice project and sweet video too! You have a real steady way of working and speaking. I enjoyed the selection process and it turned out perfectly! I was surprised at the laser etching label, but it looks so nice I guess it was worth the price. I hope you have time for more videos in the near future and here's to that time!

Thanks! The cats and I are back to work on more videos :-)
Love the random choice concept. The temple came out great and the mini is full of life.
Very nice! Love the vibe of this model. You've really captured the vibrancy of the feathers and the face looks great! I love it :D
Yes Brent! I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a little worried about where you wandered off to! Very good to see you

Great paint-job, and I love your diorama because it keeps it simple and is very effective at showcasing the miniature.
I love, love, LOVE the phrase "Pile of Opportunity". I've been taking my Pile of Shame too seriously lately!
She looks stunning! I really loved the whole composition of the scene. Having fun is always the best way of getting work done. :)
Great work!! Love that you put the shadow on the floor and wall.
Thanks! It turns out black drybrushes just as well as any other color- good to know! :-)
Good to have you back! Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺 👍
i think it's awesome you were able to harvest and repurpose that futon! Also a great diorama. .I too love simplicity sometimes :)
The pile of opportunity name really helps me feel better about all this unpainted, unbuilt plastic. Just used the absolute freedom of all that plastic to convert some custom eldar rangers- and hearing that name really helped emphasize to me that I could never just have fun like that if I didn't have all of it.
More people need to get into Shadowsea and Deepwars!
Great job, and a beautiful little vignette there. Well done!!
Got into this hobby a few months ago after watching your guide for beginners! Glad to see another video! The cats are lovely too
you should give his podcast a listen! it is really enjoyable while painting, as well as getting excited for more painting!
@@mushroomancer4407 Thanks! I'll take a look
Aye.. Johan! Good to see you back to some good old model painting!
That's a lovely eclectic selection of minis. All of them a painter's dream. I think I'd definitely side with UK Hobby Room and say this deserves being called a Pile of Potential rather than a Pile of Shame. PS. Cats are our overlords. That will never change.
Not a bad pile eh? Sadly "pile of shame" is better clickbait, but I DO call it pile of potential too :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies A necessary maladie of the UA-cam algorithm and human nature sadly.
You are back! Thank's for the new video mate! Man, you painting ShadowSea is all I ever wanted from UA-cam. Great stuff!
Hahaha, I'm glad fate gave us shadowsea! :-)
So glad you are back Brent! Have been waiting to post on a recent video! You have inspired me to dive deep into this hobby! Thank you so much for the content!
That's awesome, I'm glad you're having fun :-)
Snuffles must have been looking for some delicious paint water ;-)
she's always snuffling around looking for something... :-)
Great video. Those models have a cool unique look to them.
Glad to see you back. I enjoy your vids while i try and sleep as they are so relaxing 😬
She looks fantastic, sir! The lighting works really well, as does her setting. Great job!
I love how after so many videos I still learn so much more! Thanks for trying out new stuff as well. I really want to build a diorama now as well!
My cat is an orange drybrush from snuffles exact colour and his brother is a ginger tom, yay cat twins
hehehe, I've got one of those too! :-)
Glad to see you back!! Love the video. Keep up the great work!
Nice to have you back, nice job
I love how you used a make up brush to paint, and a paint brush to do make up!
After two month...
I was a little affraid!
So welcome back, and thanx for this video
You nailed it man. This one was fun to watch and the lighting effects were next level. Good learning
Snuffles has a very unique coat. I don't know that I've ever seen that mix of what looks like tortoise shell and tabby. Lovely mix of orange and browns.
Oh wait.. this is about miniatures. Carry on. XD
I definitely would have picked the 'magical robot' figure, but your choice was good too. Love the end result 👍
I'm as happy to see Snuffles as I am to see you again!
Your back, thank god. I was getting a bit concerned and was running a little low on modelling insperation. I am glad to see your channel has a new vid up. Time to get inspired once again.

Always good have something to watch between paint bravely episodes. Now I just need to get to work on my pile of shame.
*Snuffles walks in and knocks over boxes.* Shot is finished. "Oh I was just leaving."
Ooh, Shadowsea looks awesome!
Yay! Random paint of random mini is my favorite! Great to see you back 😄
Glad you're back and refreshed man! I missed you and your content!
Shadow sea is a great game and the miniatures are amazing. Cheers and happy to see you paint something that I have painted on my channel. Awesome video as always brother. Till next time
The model and the terrain pieces were made for each other. Entertaining and calming video as always (:
The zoom in on Snuffles made me very happy.
Welcome back Brent!! Great to see you back
I love this idea! I should do this to chip away at some of my pile of shame while working on a couple warbands for frostgrave and stargrave.
Nice to see you back!!!
Ha, I was just looking at all the old Pile of Shame videos from you, Midwinter etc last night! Great timing :)
Nice to see you back! Thanks for introducing me to Moonstone minis. That game looks incredible. Would love to see you do more with those minis.
Hope to see some more Goobertown Roulette soon
Would watch just for the cats. But the creative art is definitely worth sticking around for.
Good to have you back, I missed you!
This is exactly what I needed on a dark a damp Monday afternoon. A nice feel good video from Brent. Nice to see you back dude, video was super relaxed easy viewing. The vignette turned out great too.
Glad to have you back Brent.
Welcome back! Another fantastic video.
great video Brent, the mini turned out very well, playing around with lighting is an interesting challenge. Thanks
Good to have you back. This was a nice little diorama!
I really love how people in this hobby seem to be able to look at a big pile of unrelated rubbish (like a futon in this case) and see something exciting or useful or just interesting.
I've pulled two futons off the road, but this is from the one that was made of fancier wood :-)
Always fun to see the stuff from your closet of opportunity. Next time when getting this skirmish choice, hopefully you can have double your fun & pick a random character/scheme from both factions.
Glad to see you back, hope the time away was good.
Fantastic to see you back Brent. What a great little project too. The shadow you added really did make all the difference. Wonderful work indeed :)
Reassuring to see Snuffles never changes.
hehehe, same 'ol snuffles! :-)
good to see i am not the only one with creature casters stuff in the pile of shame
hehehe, nope!
Really glad you are back on the youtubes again. Hope you are doing well.
That OSL really turned out well, and is nicely subtle. I love it!
The legend is back. Good vibes all around. Nice to see you again, Brent
Man I really enjoy watching you paint minis I've never heard of! Please do more!
I will! :-)
„Pile of Opportunity“. I like it (-:
Mayor Goober is back and brilliant!
Great to see you are back Brent! Was starting to worry that something had happened to you. The miniature and base looked great.
So glad to see that you are back! I love the mini and the base is really well done! Nice work with the makeup.
10 seconds in and no "brand-who-shall-not-be-named" products in sight. Glad to see you back :)
Glad you are back!
