This art style is called "Scratch Bashing", and the results can often times be better than kit models :) Non-shrinking drywall spackle mixed with a little bit of water and matte Mod Podge is your best friend for filling gaps before painting.
During the lock-down here in Ireland, I've burned out almost half a dozen electric multi-tools, and now have my new one arriving soon, to work on even more of my weird and wonderful trash up-cycling projects :-) I'm a skip diving, trash rummaging, and trash grabbing up-cycler, and unapologetic with it, as all the stuff I find is pretty much free, and my club-mates (Who have more storage space than myself) are more than happy with all the things I've made over the past year. The six 25 mm scale Star Wars At-At's I made from discarded cardboard and plastic that local shops were throwing away have gone down very well among my gaming club members, and now they're gearing up for all the scenery and vehicles I've made/am making too :-) I LOVE your channel, as cardboard is one of my favourite mediums to work in, and the lightsaber tutorials have me almost screaming with joy/inspiration to have a go at some for myself :-D
My favourite part is your questions! I have made terrain from plastic rubbish but so far I only took them as 'given' forms, I am excited alter them as you have. And he idea of deforming them using heat gun or soldering iron is definitely worth trying! I gave up on the thin flimsy transparent plastic as it is too easily deformed and paint flakes off when it moves. Excellent exploration.
You can strengthen the walls of flimsy plastic parts with either Styrofoam (XPS foam is used for insulation), if careful can use cans of expanding spray foam, or simply fill the object with ready made spackle, both can be purchased at most home improvement/hardware stores.
Perfect timing for this video! I am making model scenery for a tabletop wargame with a sci-fi theme. Like you, I noticed that I could obtain the futuristic shapes I desired by looking to plastic trash and started collecting my waste. My questions are now those same questions - how to fill gaps around soft plastic? How to strengthen soft hollow shapes? How to create small details that don't look glued on? I look forward to your exploration of this topic!
You could use acrylic wood filler for gaps. If you want to stabilize hollow shapes, you can cut old plastic folders or anything that is flat that is also plastic, and layer them inside the shapes. For small details, you could try using liquidy glues. If you can still see some of the glue, you can sand it down. Hope this helps and good luck with your project. 😀😀😀😀😀
Great video on how to get started Trash Bashing , lm hoping to start doing something like this myself once l find the space to do it, then l can start collecting stuff to build things At tge 8moment l need to findthe space
Very interesting. I'll have to check out your channel. I have been trying paper mache, as well as, paper mache with additives like spackling or plaster of Paris.
Hi Greetings from LONDON :) Impresive like always. I can help you with LED's and smart solution for it using Arduino for some additional special efects, based on movment sensors, accelerators etc. I hope you will be present at Make Fair Berlin this year, I will try to be there as well.
Really finding this quite interesting subject. Great video by the way would love to see what you can do with the fan tower it looks like something from Blade Runner possibly
Hi, that is definitely on my list. I did a lot of testing for the past few month. I found out some really cool wich greatly expands on this video. I think you will like it. Best wishes Dieter
Dude, that's enough vitamin for a lifetime! Unless you are actually vitamin deficient, that much isn't needed. Just eat some fruit and vegetables on your daily life.
@@MudbrainsTvDIY Yay you are back! 💃🎉🥂 I think I was too sad to subscribe when I left the above comment 7 months ago Can't wait to go check out your latest creations 😎💪yessss.
Back in the 60s i was down in the basement during the winter and using any thing I could find to kitbash good memories don't stop like it
Nice! I have seven boxes full of discarded plastic bottles, knick-knacks, and whatnots myself. Now, let's built something.
Some of those pieces look perfect for a star wars diorama I'm working on... time to dig in my trash!

this is not art this is more craftsmanship,real purpose not abstract stuff..
Did not know this was a thing - but I know why now! Wow! Awesome. Very inspirational - thanks. :)

I love this kind of content, this is an excellent video, please keep uploading kit/trash bashing stuff, you are a great inspiration. Thanks.
Very good! Thank you so much!👍
Great tips on angling and neg space. Definitely learned something new, thanks!
I have always been interested to the kitbashing technique, it's something that I should do more often.
My second time watching this. I'd love to see more of your creativity in sci fi.

Love this ... thanks bro
Use glue and baking-soda to fill gaps/holes.

Great tutorial many thanks for posting 😊
Thanks a lot.

Sehr cool gemacht, danke dafür. Ich werde mir auf jeden Fall was davon anschauen.
Awesome video mate! Really fascinating and informative!
The fan with the additional parts could make a good skyscraper set
Awesome reuse! Thanks for sharing!
Great video!!! I love the idea of upcycling plastic trash...super creative. :D

Hi, would you mind to elaborate?
Best wishes
Man good luck, i have been loocking for something like this, but My results ate poor, i hope You success 😀
Hi, give some more tries. You will get better with ea h new build.
Best wishes
Watch Kitbash Federation videos he has great ideas!videos he has great ideas too!
