I don't play Warhammer, I don't collect Warhammer, I don't paint Warhammer. I have nothing to do with any kind of wargaming, table-top RPG games that involve miniatures or hand-painted figurines (and have little interest in doing so) yet I have been binge watching a number of your videos and some by other miniature hobbyist channels and have to say they're very satisfying. These videos that you are doing where you put sprues to excellent use are very inspiring. They might not compare to official, professionally modelled and moulded model kits but this genuinely impresses me more than when people paint the kits.
When I was 13 / 14 I collected marines and tau because I thought they were so cool looking. Orks were last on my list. Now I'm 25 and returning to the hobby as a devoted ork player and this warms my Orky Gorky heart ❤ Love how forgiven the 'orky" aesthetic is and the end result looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait to see the rest of the process Amazing work! WAAAAAAAGHHHHHH

Man, this is absolutely fantastic. Once again I am truly impressed. The fact that you cut all those sprues, glued it all together and even the molded wheels. Incredible effort, and it looks so good! The nibbly nobbly king indeed!
It is amazing that you managed to make it out of something that most people call trash and discard instantly. You really are very talented with what you can do with your hands.
Never played table top, never did a single model of anything and iam just fluff reading guy....but god damn iam watching this with open jaw shaking head. You got me youtube, you got me once again.
You had me at....ork! I moved from England to Australia when I was 11, when you made the Blue Peter reference I was transported back in time to my childhood!

Man this is impressive, really impressive, the result is so neat, looks so good, with just sprues...damn! you're even taking advantage of the damages on the sprues to improve the thing... what can I say? congrats, hat tipped, enjoy your futur waaagh sir!
I only recently stumbled upon your channel. But as a fellow Ork player .. I love your builds and the ideas and inspiration they give me for mine. Keep it up
This is how Ork vehicles should be. Nothing should be mass produced. Everything should actually be individual and unique, as is the way of the Orks. I worked for GW in the late 99s and Gorkamorka was still a big thing at the head office at Nottingham and the the kitbashed, converted and scratch built battle wagons was an absolute joy to see. I took a great deal of inspiration from them. I was actually told by a friend of mine who actually still works for GW that it was these designs that inspired the plastic battlewagon that is available now for the Orks
I have no words, this is the coolest video with sprues I have ever seen ! I used sprues for some low quality barricades in the past but this literally shocked me. It looks great ! :) :) :)
Now, build a stompa! But seriously dude. I would watch an hour long video with you building stuff and talking about orcs and sprues and stuff. You got a nice voice to listen to.
If you use the same technique to dribble the sprue goo into the mold, the same way you do the mold mixture, you will reduce the bubbles in the plastic.
Absolutely amazing and really an inspirational video. Just goes to show you that you can be creative and have loads of fun without the need to buy models.
Just an idea for you but maybe next time you could smear the melted sprues on to the larger sections to hide that multiple stick effect - almost like using milliput to hide joins on models Brilliant build!! really inspiring thank you
Thank you, Miniature Hobbyist, in an unbelievably dark year, your videos have helped make me feel a lot better about the world...the words "sprue" and "nibbly-nobbly bitz" make a nice change from "covid", "social division" and "general doom". Pax Vobiscum.
Nice, have you thought of using bluestuff (or it's cheaper craft equivalent) for the molds? Oh and what exactly were the wheels from? I can't find anything that looks orky enough.
Regarding the bubbles in the tires- the stuff you melt in the oven often seems to have a smoother, sometimes shiny exterior. Would putting them in the oven for a bit help smooth them out or would it complicate the process too much to be viable without special equipment?
Question on safety: when working with resin, gloves and ventilation are mandatory. How does it compare to working with acetone-melted plastic? Does it give off fumes as well (other than the acetone itself)?
To remove the bubbles from the melted goo you should get an ultrasonic cleaner. Put the mold with the goo inside and turn it on. The vibration should remove all those pesky bubbles while it dries.
Nice to see all those sprues going to a good use. I’d been hoarding them for a while.
Thank you so much again, I cant believe I pretty much used them all up lol =)
May do this for a bike!
@@MiniatureHobbyist my husband has a 50liter tub full of them. This battlewagon looks really amazing.

Miniature Hobbyist: "I made an entire battlewagon out of official GW sprue bits!"
GW: *confused screaming*
My shop does not allow sprue build models, even if I left the "Games Workshop" text on them readable.
@@schwarzerritter5724 That's bullshit, screw them!
@@schwarzerritter5724 you tried to sell your sprue models to shop?
Or there's something I don't know about?
@@piotrwisniewski70 The shop did not allow using sprue models in games.
@@schwarzerritter5724 oh, interesting
So shops basically organize Warhammer games, right?
As a long-time Warhammer player with an EXTENSIVE Ork army, this did my heart good. Proper Orky teknolojy! Orkimedes would be proud!

GW watching this video: we gotta up the prices even more, people are using the sprues now!
Tonight the dream will be those two comments:). awesome:).
Funny and true
Now everything will come in paper bags without sprues.

I only recently stumbled upon your channel. But as a fellow Ork player .. I love your builds and the ideas and inspiration they give me for mine. Keep it up
Orks for the win, Im glad you stumbled upon my channel =)
This is brilliant! You, my orky friend, are terrain and miniature building goals.
Thank you, I just love making Ork stuff =)
This is nothing but sheer insanity, therefore it's utterly orky!
If this is what he creates with just sprues imagine what he could do if he used a lot of different materials. Truly awesome
This was probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while, good job man, this video was truly impressive
When you take the phrase "kitbashing" too literally, but it still counts.
"Nibbly-nobbly bits" . . . I love technical jargon. Good job mate!

Gonna be starting my Orky journey soon and this is certainly a project I intend to try!! - Love the stuff man, absolutely crazy!
Ok this is one of the greatest things you can made out of sprues 😁
I think so, until the next thing I make =)
There has to be a drinking game connected with the phrase ‘nibbly, knobbly bitz’, but it may be a dangerous one! 😂😂😂😂
Great start.
Yup dont do it, I say it soooooo many times lol =)
GORK AND MORK SEZ YOU ONE OF DA BOYZS!!!!! YOUZ DA GREAT GREATEST MEKBOY YOUZ IZ!!!!!
Great idea with molten plastic, very resourceful.
I honestly came into this video doubting...I am blown away!
This is the most impressive build I have ever seen. Incredible!!!
Gorko and Morko are pleased. Damn, looks epic!
Remember to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁👍🏼
Thankyou and share if possible 🙂
That battlewagon looks brilliant...and then when you think you made it out of sprues is mind blowing.... i will save my sprues in future 😁👍
I have no words, this is the coolest video with sprues I have ever seen ! I used sprues for some low quality barricades in the past but this literally shocked me. It looks great ! :) :) :)
Incredible! Absolutely love watching this come together 👍
Lego mould - love it!
This is really interesting! Thanks for sharing it.
Absolutely amazing ! Great use of something that would usually just go in the bin ! Great job my friend
Thank you so much, now Im off to build a real house out of sprues =)
Absolutely brilliant!
I really like this video. It’s crazy how you find so many creative ideas for sprues
Thank you so much for this, I've been needing some inspiration to finish my Sprue Stompa for a while now and this might've given it to me.
You absolute madlad, you did it again
Now, build a stompa! But seriously dude. I would watch an hour long video with you building stuff and talking about orcs and sprues and stuff. You got a nice voice to listen to.
Thank you, a stompa is next once I get more sprues, I am looking at doing live streams each week of me building stuff =)
Amazingly creative
Wooooooow just Sprues!!!! Sonic awesomeness
You should do a video of your tool/paint set up organizer. Looks awesome!
If you use the same technique to dribble the sprue goo into the mold, the same way you do the mold mixture, you will reduce the bubbles in the plastic.
Your red handled cutters where did you get they look durable the GW ones don't last long for me and my heavy handedness
Nice construction method 👍🏻 Very inspirational.
This was incredible! So creative
Absolutely amazing and really an inspirational video. Just goes to show you that you can be creative and have loads of fun without the need to buy models.
Thanks so much! and its very rewarding =)
Awesome build
Mind blown this is awesome
Oh hey, I use the exact same storage drawers! Great choice!
End of Part 1? Noooo! I can't wait to see it all done! I need to see it now! ;D
Such a nice lovely video! Thank you
Dang he should win a prize for this one. Like a golden demon for assembly or something
Absolute madness. Love it.
Thank you =)
They said it couldn't be done, phenomenal build so far my man but I've gotte say you really must have an inhumanly high tolerance for tedious work
Thank you so much, it was tedious at points but a great distraction from whats going on in the world =)
This is fantastic!
The rough look of the tyres just makes it even more Orky!!!
Awesome stuff man,loads of inspiration.
Thanks a ton! =)
That's awesome!
Great to see your talent, and channel, grow.
Thank you so much =)
I love it.. Keep up the amazing work..
I love the build and I think it looks great keep up the great content
Thank you, this is my best build yet =)
Woah. Nicely done! I need to try something like this. Once I've finished my other orky abominations, that is.
Orks for the win and have fun =)
Great recycling -impressive!
Incredible work
Thank you =)
Very nice build, that's what youtube is for! The sprue sticks could make a really nice wood effect; perhaps next make an ork ship?
Thank you, yes sprues can be shaved down to look like wood and an Ork ship is now on my list, that or a submarine lol =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist Sick ideas, looking forward to it =) keep up the good videos!
Just an idea for you but maybe next time you could smear the melted sprues on to the larger sections to hide that multiple stick effect - almost like using milliput to hide joins on models

Nibbly-Knobbly Bits! Keep up the great work!
Gotta love nibbly nobbly bits =)
I love your videos and I have been waiting to see this one for a while
Thank you, I have been trying to hype this up all week to see if I can get more than 240 viewers watching it, please share if you can =)
This is so cool! I wished I had half of your creativity haha! Keep up the good work!
Lookimg fwd to this one!
It's my best one yet 🙂
In Blue Peter style, legend!
Really inspiring! Definitely motivated to make my own stuff out of sprues
Cool, you should, they are so versatile =)

@@MiniatureHobbyist Even Orks brighten up The Imperium.
mastery on recycling, awesome
Thank you, sprues are our future lol =)
Nice, have you thought of using bluestuff (or it's cheaper craft equivalent) for the molds?
Oh and what exactly were the wheels from? I can't find anything that looks orky enough.
I think it's come out really well, I need to try something like this with my endless piles of warhammer, revell and airfix sprues
amazing work!!!!
awesome work man
The sprue mad lad
amazing job! i love your videos
Has anyone tried using a brush to paint on acetone, and smooth out the sprues that way?
That's pretty fantastic
Thank you =)
Regarding the bubbles in the tires- the stuff you melt in the oven often seems to have a smoother, sometimes shiny exterior. Would putting them in the oven for a bit help smooth them out or would it complicate the process too much to be viable without special equipment?
Id like to make a couple of these sprue projects but also have a few official vehicles worked in. Its a good way to have lots of variety in your army.
Really incredible
Thank you so much =)
Question on safety: when working with resin, gloves and ventilation are mandatory. How does it compare to working with acetone-melted plastic? Does it give off fumes as well (other than the acetone itself)?
Ventalashiun not need, I love gloo fyuums
Id get a ooen window and a fan going just in case
Love it, cant wait to watch part 2. ^_^
It is out, watch it now =)
Loved IT!
Could you pour the sprue goo out onto a flat sheet to make panels, rather than having loads of bits glued side by side? Great build by the way.
The funny part is its still GW store/tourny legal, as its made out of 100% GW plastic.
To remove the bubbles from the melted goo you should get an ultrasonic cleaner. Put the mold with the goo inside and turn it on. The vibration should remove all those pesky bubbles while it dries.
this man is a true mekboy
incredible
Astonishing!
Cheers =)
