I have to agree; I would not have thought to make it up to a thick paste consistency rather than the gap-filling consistency I've always seen it made to, and then used as raw material to roll out 'new' plastic sheeting.
This channel is some of the best shit on RUclips. Just a cheerful guy showing you how to do cool stuff with your models. Borderline heart-warming, keep up the good work man.
Ive been using sprues to liven up my bases, the crystals are my favorite, my girlfriend loves making candles and sticks of dynamite. Your creativity is a gift and has caused me to spend more time converting my models and bases with things that I would have ignored before, thank you!
I love this video for showing me how to melt sprues... first time I'd ever heard of that and I am excited to play around with it. Only criticism I have is I wish you had showed the mold you used to get the texture on the side panels. I get that you plan to feature it in another video, and it would be holy appropriate to make a video showing how to create that mold... but I still wish you had showed it being used and gave an idea of how long into the drying process we should use it.
These came out soo well.. and I love how rough they look, as they feel like they belong more in a war-torn environment than if they had been smooth and perfect
try to get a texture with a steel brush for metal (you will get a wood pattern...) light the plastic with a lighter and stretch it into thin wires (barbed wire for trenches, for example...). When you burn plastic with a lighter, you can make tree branches. the tip of the ballpoint pen leaves a mark that looks like rivets. Melt nescaffe in the liquid plastic primer and you will get a perfect rust! (free!)
I just picked up a few comissions and now Ive got a ton of sprue left over, was just about to visit yer tutorial on how to make the gooey stuff and this popped up. Im ok with that.
My jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw you using the goo to make parts with. I always thought the best one could do with sprues was to cut them apart and glue the pieces back together in funny ways, so i've been recycling most of mine for years. This is making me think twice about that!
I stumbled across your channel while searching for paint schemes. Now I can't get enough, you have truly inspired me and my boy to make scenery and such
I recently used some Round Sprue too add some spikey bits to an Ork Warboss I was making. Just sharpen one end slightly, cut it off as flat as possible and attach it. Once it's on you can shape it to match the model a little better with a hobby knife. Any leftover gaps can just be filled with green stuff/crack filler. Worked like a charm and I have you to thank! Cheers from Canada!
Apparently btw this works with ABS plasric too. Which is what toys and the external parts of lots of consumer products are made of. There are industrial solvents for gluing that stuff together thst are less fume-intensive than straight acetone. Plastruct and possibly other brands make solvents that can weld ABS to model styrene too.
Found your channel today love what your doing! I hate the thought of wasting all that plastic. Definitely going to make some stuff with this! Any chance if you showing how you made the corrugated steel mould?
Awesome mate. Hadn't even considered rolling out into sheets, let alone the textured rollers or moulds instead of using greenstuff. Cheers for the ideas.
This is my first visit to your channel. I never considered leaving plastic bits in a jar of acetone to create a plastic putty-like material. This is fantastic! Now all my failed FDM prints and print scraps. I don't build anything that comes on a sprue, but I have plenty of 3D printer refuse.
I really like your sprue builds. I have a bunch of Warhammer figures and such and I was thinking, there must be some way to use all the leftover plastic from your models. I never actually knew how until after I saw one of your videos on how to use sprues. With ooey gooey spruey stuff you can make virtually anything you could make with clay, I appreciate the information. Keep up the good effort.
Back in like 1996 or so I was building something in cardboard and using PVA as a strengthener. When I painted acrylic onto it I had the cracking. So I thought what if I mix PVA into the acrylic? Well not only did that layer not crack, and that layer also appear to softened the visible cracks of the layer below it, but it also added a bit of rigidity. I didn’t try varnishing over it tho so idk how well that would work.
I live in a one bed room apartment/flat and have been getting into the hobby. Got myself some sprues and been wanting to do stuff with them so i don't make more clutter. Was inspired by earlier videos to make terrain pieces and just seeing how you do this so masterfully is awesome!! Looking forward to future vids!!
I'm an avid painter and collector over here in the US and I have like, 5 laundry baskets packed with sprues lmao. Trying to sprue glue and use as much as I can but school and work is making it hard for me to get to the laborious task of cutting em down. If only we had a recycling program here in the US....
As I've seen mentioned below, the containers that are sold by GW are really cartoony, and imo not fitting for 40k. Whereas THIS, this truly represents old, rusty, dirty and abandoned containers. I love them ! Amazing work, I'm really happy I found you
I have a rust technique you might like, my fellow hobby hackers! It's called "salt weathering." Essentially, paint your model/terrain brown/rust coloured. Then, after its dry, apply water to the areas you'd like rust. Pour table salt over the model. It will stick to the water, but will come off easily from the dry surfaces. Leave it to dry out, and paint the model in your desired colour scheme. The salt will form mounds over the rust areas that mask some of your paint. After the paint is dry, remove the salt and voila, rust effect!
I've recently learned and tried the salt chipping method, it works great. Though next time I want to splatter some oranges and browns on my base coat of rust before doing the chipping and main colors.
Awesome video, love to see how you create the container sides, I have been using cardboard boxes to make containers, but where I am here in Oz we have a mice plague, have to throw some of my terrains away, now your containers, suit my Catachan jungle with damaged and aged, rusted Containers, can't wait for more video's cheers from DownUnder.
Would definitely be cool to see you do something that needs to look alot neater than ork tek, like an imperial/space marine tank or maybe one of the titans. Think of it as a challenge :D Terrain is always cool tho, could maybe look at making equivalents to some of GW's kits?
You have been a source of inspiration and positivity ever since I found your channel, thank you! I look forward to seeing all of the awesome things you create using a mix of sprue, glue, and ooey gooey spruey stuff!
Always happy to see more sprue terrain. I feel like most people enjoy these because it enables us to get some hse out of sprues AND saves a ton of money from having to buy dedicated terrain sets. Always better to spend that money on more models. At least that's why I personally enjoy sprue terrain most
Another awesome build, was considering using Aluminium soda cans or coffee pots as a possible sheet material for making containers with, but sprues look like a much safer alternative :) I was wondering if there was a maximum time you can leave the sprues in the acetone before the material is unrecoverable?
Truly inspirational, sprue users should take note. Have you tried silicone mould? I've got some of those funky ice cube trays. Thought about using dregs from the resin bottles to see they come out, but Oowey Spruey Gooey might also work.
Hey just wanted to say that I have been watching your channel off and on for the past few years and you have really inspired me to use old sprues for structures and terrain. However in my exploits of trying to work with the sprues stuff if you had any advice on how to get more of the bubbles out before the mold is set? I have literally followed some of your videos step by step and I can never get a decent mold out of the sprues stuff. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks
Sorry for my English. I would like to tell you that your videos are great and I would like to know what is the liquid that you use to make the matrices soft
im new to your videos , but i totally love your ideas. now i want to built stuff of of the plastic rests as well. would you please tell me what you fill those glases up with?
Excellent work. As you said about using it as a filler. Almost can be as good as filler putty. I'm curious. In the glass container. Is it 100% acetone? Or slightly diluted?
I know I'm late to the party, but this is a great video. I'm glad a found your channel and this video. This video is the reason I found out about sprue goo. But I have a question: how do you get it to cure/harden while still being able to get it off whatever surface it's sitting on? I've tried my hand at making a sheet or panel with the goo on wax paper so I don't make a mess, but it just sticks to it as it hardens. I may not be leaving it long enough, but I thought I'd ask. Once again, love your channel and look forward to watching more of your stuff!
I’d love to know if the goo can be used in silicone molds. I don’t see why not but like imagine the possibilities right? For instance for those who do CAD and 3D printing one could print out a castable positive thst one pours silicone onto to make a mold. Either an open face mold or halves of a mold you then assemble. 20 years ago I saw a photo demo some Japanese modeler did of this. Anyhow you could spoon in the goo and let it settle in and cure. Idk what kind of detail resolution you’d be able to get but it would be vastly cheaper than resin. The manufacturers of mold rubber, such as Smooth-On, have extremely good technical customer service btw. 3D printing aside, you can make a mold of anything not just a print. Also diorama supply folks like woodland scenics and others sell rubber molds of scale rock faces and architectural ornamentation. They’re intended for plaster but should work for this. You might want to ask about mold release grease for this too tho.
Love theses vids :). I got a slight ocd when it comes to sorting and saving as much space as i can. If you need more space i would recommend spending a day or 2 pre cutting all the sprues so you can have boxes ready with long, short, nibbley nobbaly bits and also one for shapes . Would definitely free up the voided space between them all and could fit a lot more all in 1 box :)
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me ! Great video! Love the shout out to BILL ! Keep doing what your doing my friend Did have a question to ask you ! What happened to your old videos of custom mega construx figures?
I know it sounds crazy but you can actually sand superglue off your fingers. You don’t even feel it and it comes right off. (This looks awesome and your voice is so nice and cheerful to me I love your videos)
1:00 I think you will receive even MORE sprues from the nibbly nobbly community during May... I love these videos and I think it's great you commit to one video a week. It builds up so much expectation!
If i made some sandbags with the sprue stuff, can i make a mould of it with blue stuff, then pour sprue stuff in the mould to make more of the sandbags?
I like the Star Waaahs. I think an orky pod racer would be a fun build, or maybe a death star or AT-AT. Full sprue picnic complete with sprue picnic basket to go with the burger? Make what you enjoy and we will keep enjoying the videos
Seeing the patchy end result of these crates I think you could do something around an Astra Militarum unit left without support. It would be nice seeing a build with the smoother panels you mention, even if it takes longer to make. Maybe something to work on alongside the Orky/Nurgly builds you do regularly to keep the content stream going.
nice build, you mention not doing imperial because is hard to make it neater, but you can go with desecrated imperial hehe... nurgle desecrated tanks or bunkers for example. and go for tyranids also, many stuff to build..
How much sprue would you recommend in a jar before use? Like how much do you have to put in to gain the ammount that is gooey after. Does it take quite abit to make a little? :)
Should be fine working with it in a well ventilated space, or alternatively a P3 half / full face mask could be used, although that might be overkill for essentially nail polish remover. Still, there's nothing wrong with being cautious with these things...

I will take a look =)
Just looked and they are awesome, I will be making one =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist I will be looking forward to it
I was familiar with sprue goo already, but to use it for entire projects rather than to mend little gaps is mindblowing. Fantastic stuff!
I have to agree; I would not have thought to make it up to a thick paste consistency rather than the gap-filling consistency I've always seen it made to, and then used as raw material to roll out 'new' plastic sheeting.

Wow….as a modeller of 40plus years I now wish I’d kept sprues !!! Awesome for scratchbuilding - cheers

Time to go buy some acetone! Great guide and good use of “waste”!
This is awesome. You made a plastic Sourdough Starter lmao, love your work

Amazing work, I'm really happy I found you
Thank you for your kind words and yes get those sprues to good use =)
Yea... But I guess one problem with them is that the official paint job is a bit to bright and clean...
Great tutorial and build, I'll have to build some of these for gaslands.

Such an ingenious idea, you should do a timelapse video of the sprues melting in the acetone it looks fascinating! Kudos

I love these videos and that youtube recommends them to me. Always gives me the urge to make something :D
This is some galaxy brain sprue upcycling :O amazing, thank you for sharing
Amazing content as usual. Thank you good sir. Very useful am i definitely trying this for my army.

Good stuff left right and center. Always good to have plans with how to deal with sprues.
Yup and its good to recycle =)
Necromunda terrain would be cool, these look great, I may now try and make these myself!

Thanks for being an inspiration !! really love your work and really helped me in my hobby journey !! :)
I’d love to know if the goo can be used in silicone molds. I don’t see why not but like imagine the possibilities right? For instance for those who do CAD and 3D printing one could print out a castable positive thst one pours silicone onto to make a mold. Either an open face mold or halves of a mold you then assemble. 20 years ago I saw a photo demo some Japanese modeler did of this. Anyhow you could spoon in the goo and let it settle in and cure. Idk what kind of detail resolution you’d be able to get but it would be vastly cheaper than resin. The manufacturers of mold rubber, such as Smooth-On, have extremely good technical customer service btw. 3D printing aside, you can make a mold of anything not just a print. Also diorama supply folks like woodland scenics and others sell rubber molds of scale rock faces and architectural ornamentation. They’re intended for plaster but should work for this. You might want to ask about mold release grease for this too tho.
Love theses vids :). I got a slight ocd when it comes to sorting and saving as much space as i can. If you need more space i would recommend spending a day or 2 pre cutting all the sprues so you can have boxes ready with long, short, nibbley nobbaly bits and also one for shapes . Would definitely free up the voided space between them all and could fit a lot more all in 1 box :)
Yup that is a good idea and one I might do, especially as I am doing only sprue builds this month, having it all sorted will be a time saver =)
@@MiniatureHobbyist could even make a video of before and after 👍

Wow.. That's such a good idea to use Al those throw away frames... The possibilities are endless.. Does the acetone melt all types of plastics?
I like the reuse of the sprues. How toxic is this process? The acetone and melted plastic.
Seeing the patchy end result of these crates I think you could do something around an Astra Militarum unit left without support. It would be nice seeing a build with the smoother panels you mention, even if it takes longer to make. Maybe something to work on alongside the Orky/Nurgly builds you do regularly to keep the content stream going.
Supersmart way to reuse sprues ! And fun,and creative,and ...
bonjour , merci pour toutes ces astuces
They are awesome...

Love the recycling/DIY spirit of this channel. I'm mildly concerned about the health risks associated with melting plastic with acetone.
Should be fine working with it in a well ventilated space, or alternatively a P3 half / full face mask could be used, although that might be overkill for essentially nail polish remover. Still, there's nothing wrong with being cautious with these things...
@@viper9x I mean lets be honest we play with some pretty nasty stuff in our hobby that probably isn't good for our health
can't go wrong with making ruins, plus I think the imperfections of the sprues would really help the effect
I would love to see more Ork terrain
Some kind of weird mutant like the big thing in stranger things might be cool to make with ooey gooey stuff
Yup that would work well =)
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
What tool do you use to spread the melted sprue?
Hello, what kind of solvent do you use for casting?
True works of art...Fun!!!
i never knew the plastic could be turned into sludge like that. is it only this type or can various plastics be reused like that?
