Super hot tip for college students. As we go into finals season try studying for half an hour and then taking 5 -10 minutes to add a detail to a batch of minis. Wash rinse repeat for about 6 to 8 hours. A wet pallet is an absolute must for this. It will give your brain a mental break so you don't burn out by using a completely different area of your mind. Improve your GPA and address your box of shame at the same time.
I said it before but you make amazing content mate. No longer just a step-by-step paint channel, but a mix of techniques, products and the consistent advice to not just compete but also have fun with the models and the games. Totally my go to channel for all things related to our wonderful hobby. As always, thank you for sharing! Ronald
I feel like my rats were too efficient. Back in the early 2000;s when the new Skaven box was released, none of my war machines failed to the point of chaotic fun times, not even my warpfire thrower team! Love seeing RUclipsrs showcase Skaven!
Having already picked up and painted the Bombardier, a model whose sculpt I love and whose rules are just hilarious, I think a Doomwheel or three is my next obvious purchase for the Skaven horde!
At someone who works with hot glue a lot I fully acknowledge the strengths and limitations of the material, detail work is one of those. Excellent restoration and I can't wait to see what project you have next.
Sounds like you like the doom wheel for the same reason I liked the night goblin fanatics from fantasy; They can just as easily take your army out in a nightbrew-fuelled psychosis as they can the army they were originally thrust towards.
funniest thing in WHFB back in the days were 2 Fanatics coming out of a regiment of Night Goblins, ready to get your Bretonnian Knights, just to turn around and hit the unit of Black Orcs in the flank.
A few years ago, a friend at the time gave me a big box of Skaven that he'd bought cheaply from a flea market, all badly painted and put together. I still haven't finished fixing up and repainting all of them. :) The Doomwheel was the only model I deemed completely beyond repair, it was just so caked in plastic glue that several bits of it had melted into blobs. It's just one of those models that's really easy to mess up.
Between you and Squigmar I finally got the balls to paint some of my minis. First one look like hot garbage, but im on the third. Not to sound cocky, but with both of y'alls videos I was able to make something really nice out of a set of paint thay aren't for Necrons, and a singular brush. So thanks! And keep up the great content.
Seeing the Wayne's World clip, I have no misgivings about saying when I look at the doomwheel all I can think is "Thunderbolts and Lightning, very very fright-en-ing" lol This was great to watch, Skaven have that perfect mix of fantasy and tech that make them seem really fun Great video Casey :)
I've never played AoS or 40k or the like but I played/have WFRP 1e and Skaven have always been my favorite thing related to WH since the late 80s. This is awesome!
I am a new sub. and doing some catching up on the vids. but so far i have greatly enjoyed the structure of your vids and the very good precise narrative. Good stuff! and I have just bought my first "ebay rescue" model.
Great video, the doomwheel is also one of my favorite models. I love the current model but for some reason I still think I prefer the goofy classic doomwheel with the driver on top.
Noice! This is all time favorite of mine as well . I’m not a skaven player however but I got this model o the cheap for conversion to an ork 40k ball tank .
Oh Look a new video right as I was going through some old ones. Speaking of the Doom Wheel, I wanted to use 2 in order to make a centre piece for a massive Night Goblin unit block as a Ball Throwing machine for Fanatics 🤣
Heya, long time subscribed lurker. If you're ever hit with hot glue to remove again, try hitting it/soak with isopropyl, let it sit and then have at it. Isopropyl de-bonds most hot glues, releasing the surfaces.
Hope this will help you for next time, but Hot glue is easy to take off after getting it soaking in some rubbing alcohol. I've been using it for years to pull the stuff off of various things from glass to electronics.
Yay! The Skaven are among my favourite factions for Warhammer, possibly due to villainous rats appearing in so many cartoons I loved as a kid. It helps that one of their shticks is being mad inventors and that there is much potential for Ork-y conversions that lean more towards steampunk. Your Doom Wheel has me wanting to craft my own, which I might do wit a sawed-off cardboard tube. :)
Would using a hair dryer be an option when disassembling a model that is put together with hot glue? Not so hot that the plastic melds, but hot enough for the hot glue to become easier to remove?
If Skaven Slayer is good?!?! Its one of the most iconic books in all of the Warhammer universe! By Bill freaking King!? my goodness these kids who started with AoS
Hot glue noooo. Well done rescuing that. Talk of random movement rules. Try an old school Night goblin army with every unit full of fanatics. Now that was carnage :)
just wanted to say thank you for not showing who this sculptor is, his work is awesome i have all his files and its nice that his stuff is online ad uneffected...so far haha.
Ok so how on earth do you have access to hot glue but not superglue? Like you don't need plastic glue specifically, superglue works just as well and infinitely better than hotglue.
you wanna buy a tub of chaos marines painted poorly i got them some time ago to fix as they are word bearers and i was going to strip them and fix em.., but too much to do and too little time..
Limited hobby supplies? I don't understand where on the planet you would have to be where you can find hot glue, but not superglue? I smell BS. Just admit you had no idea what you were doing.
I don’t want to sound like an ass, but Who in their right mind uses hot glue to build such an expensive model??? Buy a darn bottle of plastic or super glue damnit, they cost nothing compared to the model
I've talked to the guy who sent me this model a few times, I also have quite a few more of these minis that are absolutely covered in hot glue. His response when I asked him was that he didn't have access to the types of hobby stuff that we normally use, like glue and hobby paint. The paint I can understand, rural areas in Canada might be limited on supplies, and that's where the package I got came from, but, I'm not sure how one gets hold of hot glue as the alternative, but that's what he said. The other more likely possibility is that I was being trolled and he did it on purpose, but I really don't know lol
well seen this on my big TV and say WHY did gammer ues HOT GLUE WHY??? NEVER UES THAT on minis just does not look good YACK you get the right glue at enny craft or good hobby shop train shop or if whost on line you got E net you have a phone or PC you get it hek crazay gue if have to from the buck store hot glue good fore terrain or big stuff not minis like the doom whelel YACK yes may be the 100000 one to say it but do not do it ho yes the mini you re did looks great me never like flag but might re do bit and put on my one see as post fix thows minis

I love the steampunkesk look of he doom wheel. I can't believe Warhammer actually make this as part of any army. Fantastic look
It's still one of their best models!

A Skaven penny farthing - how cool is that?! Love the paint - the copper imbues a Steampunk element to the design! Great job!
Also I love that you discovered Skaven when you were 13. That's just perfect XD
"Fall of Warhammer Fantasy"
Fantasy didn't fall. It was murdered.
funniest thing in WHFB back in the days were 2 Fanatics coming out of a regiment of Night Goblins, ready to get your Bretonnian Knights, just to turn around and hit the unit of Black Orcs in the flank.
Fanatics are awesome lol they still have that fun feel to them
thanks for give old models like this some love over and over again
What a difference! Also, love the symbols on the flag!
Great t-shirt. I saw Bloodywood earlier this year at Louder than Life. I'm hooked!
Godsmack Changes on in the background.. nice.
Good to see that even models that are pretty far gone, get a second life! Love how you have been tackling this topic. Nobody else (I know of) does.
Crazy wooden Frankenstein-ish contraptions shooting thunder and running wild? YES PLEASE
Love the humor of this model, it's basically an exercise wheel with knives sticking out of it haha!
This was one of the first minis I ever painted. I used warbosstaes tutorial but only finished the brick base and the wheel itself.

top tip: hot glue loses it's hold completly when IPA is applied to it :)
I came to the comments to say just that!
Does it work with cooking lager?
Top warning: DO NOT USE IPA IN A SONIC CLEANER, IPA IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
@@FalloutProto I use it all the time. Have you seen IPA burn? :P It's mildly flammable at best.
@@FalloutProto this is kind of outdated advice.
Seeing the Wayne's World clip, I have no misgivings about saying when I look at the doomwheel all I can think is "Thunderbolts and Lightning, very very fright-en-ing" lol
This was great to watch, Skaven have that perfect mix of fantasy and tech that make them seem really fun
Great video Casey :)
I must admit I prefer the older 2nd ed Metal doom wheel to this one.
I love jumping into one of these videos and seeing a model that's a complete mess. Super satisfying seeing them fixed up. Love the content.
Come on man, like I need more stuff to paint. You know how much I love RNG armies....
Doomwheel take'um down, quick quick, yah? Looks good, and I hope your family had a very happy Thanksgiving, Casey!
I've never played AoS or 40k or the like but I played/have WFRP 1e and Skaven have always been my favorite thing related to WH since the late 80s. This is awesome!
You can always warm hotglue with a hairdryer or a heat gun on lowest setting to help break the hold of hot glue.
How many Doomwheels?
Not enough Doomwheels!
NEVER ENOUGH DOOMWHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently read Skavenslayer and can confirm it’s a great fantasy novel, highly recommend to those looking to get into warhammer fantasy lore
The low key Slim Pickens joke is perfection
Well Done 👍
I am a new sub. and doing some catching up on the vids. but so far i have greatly enjoyed the structure of your vids and the very good precise narrative. Good stuff! and I have just bought my first "ebay rescue" model.
cool i glad to see it get a new life thanks loving the show
I’m gonna need you to make more videos I’ve burned through your content lol 😂 love your work!!!!
Lol, I’m on it! I’m glad you like the videos, I really appreciate it :)
Great video, the doomwheel is also one of my favorite models. I love the current model but for some reason I still think I prefer the goofy classic doomwheel with the driver on top.
that slim pickins joke was too damn good.
Lol, I was afraid that one was too deep! It’s nice to know I’m in good company :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Slim and Mel brooks movies are the best! Dr strangelove will always have a place in my heart!
Noice! This is all time favorite of mine as well . I’m not a skaven player however but I got this model o the cheap for conversion to an ork 40k ball tank .
All praise the Great Horned Rat!!!
Oh Look a new video right as I was going through some old ones.

Scaven where the first minis I ever painted
I was maybe 11 or 12
I miss those squeaky fellas alot

Lovely-nice, yesyes!
Hope this will help you for next time, but Hot glue is easy to take off after getting it soaking in some rubbing alcohol. I've been using it for years to pull the stuff off of various things from glass to electronics.
There are two types of gamers: those who play to win, and those to play to have fun. This is a great example of the latter.
Always had a soft spot for those squeakers
I’ve always liked the way they paint and play, perfect for being casual and having some fun :)

I wonder if warming the model (in a bath of hot water?) would have helped with disassembly?
If you like Scaven, you should check out the One Page Rules Ratmen that they just released.
I’m sure others have already said it but isopropyl alcohol with remove the hold of hot glue.
Where did you find the stl, please?
Missed a golden chance to have the headline “ l saving a doomed Doomwheel”, but you know….*sniff* Skaven bad, right?
hahaha, yeah that would have been better
Would using a hair dryer be an option when disassembling a model that is put together with hot glue? Not so hot that the plastic melds, but hot enough for the hot glue to become easier to remove?
When I was in middle school and just getting into the hobby I put my very first model, a metal doomwheel, together with a hot glue gun.
Yes! Yes!
Soak some kitchen paper in Isopropyl alcohol and hold it to any hot glur for a few seconds, it'll peel right off no problems after that.
Bloodywood! Nice Shirt!
If Skaven Slayer is good?!?! Its one of the most iconic books in all of the Warhammer universe! By Bill freaking King!? my goodness these kids who started with AoS
Have you ever tried something like a water pick to help clean old models? I have been considering getting a cheap knock-off and giving it a try.
Would a hair dryer have worked with softening the glue enough to make it easier to peel off?
WARPSTONE!!!
the hot glue is baffling lol. if i saw someone in person with a hot glue armor id be so concerned.
Can you play this faction in the up to date warhammer?
Yes, yes, man thing fix wheel of the horned rat, yes yes.
Hot glue noooo. Well done rescuing that. Talk of random movement rules. Try an old school Night goblin army with every unit full of fanatics. Now that was carnage :)
Every Gotrek and Felix novel is "good" in its own dumb way. I re-read them as an adult and they were a fun romp.
someone needs to field a full army of only doomwheels... literally nothing else Just 2000 points of total insanity
just putting this out there............we need more and new skaven models, also 40k rules for them
this video Neeedz More Doomwheelz !!
So, how's the death guard.
Err…you know, comin along lol
just wanted to say thank you for not showing who this sculptor is, his work is awesome i have all his files and its nice that his stuff is online ad uneffected...so far haha.

Yo at 3:26 there is a rumbleslam mini. Rumbleslams so goddam awesome
Well, that was certainly a hot mess!!❤️😎🔥
At least it’s not Warpstone glue. Talk about toxic!

Are you wearing a jinjer shirt?!?!
you wanna buy a tub of chaos marines painted poorly i got them some time ago to fix as they are word bearers and i was going to strip them and fix em.., but too much to do and too little time..
Use 70% alcohol to remove hot glue. Peels right off
👍🏿
