@@BrickLairwe were having some issues earlier but they should be resolved now, please try again! Thank you for letting us know you were having a problem!
I’m a younger dude, so I grew up with Mars Mission, Power Miners, and Space Police. I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite out of the three, and don’t even get me started on non-LEGO branded themes like Star Wars, or Technic sets like Bionicle or Hero Factory...
My favorite classic Lego series? Bionicle generation one. I will never forget such a legendary series. It was a major part of my childhood, and to this day, I will never let it go.
One of my favorite sets was the airplane with the spaceshuttle mounted on it. I remembered wanting it when I saw it as a kid, my mom actually bought it and hid it away. She hid it so well in fact that she forgot she bought it until she found it during some boxing when we moved out our current house, eventually got for my 18th Birthday. Had to wait 10~ years for it, but well worth the wait x]
I'm with you! As a kid I got hold of every LEGO Space kit I could find. I eventually took over the garden shed and built a giant paper mâché and plaster moonscape with them all setup. I miss being a kid.
13:07 - Down Draft Tables, or, Anti-Air Hockey Tables. Also, poplar was a good choice for wood. It's harder than soft woods like spruce, fir or pine, and is relatively clear / free of knots. It also takes paint well.
@@punishedprops For real, had me laughing real good. Can only imagine how hard you guys laughed when you said it first. Also making bubbles should require that sound, second thing that had me pissing my self
Soooooooo good. I always wanted the Lego sword when I was a kid. I remember finding a really simplistic sword at the Dollar tree when I was young that was pretty close, but gold in color. I had that thing into my 20s.
I'm not sure how they compare in size to the spheres you made for the hilt, but racquetballs could be a fill in for those without access to a lathe perhaps.
We thought about trying to get a found object to use, but sometimes you need to compare the time it would take shopping around for the right piece vs the time it would take to just make it from scratch. In this case we went with a scratch built piece, but yeah it's super worth checking if you have something on hand that would work.
Your seams look pretty tight but it's a good note to hold everything tight for 30 sec or so. The sockets on PVC fittings are tapered and will tend to push out the pipe till the cement is set. And yes the active ingredient in PVC glue is MEK which is pretty nasty and absorbable through the skin. You will also get some off gassing when you work PVC, so that smell you get when turning/ cutting/ drilling, it is not "great" to breath but not that bad if you have any decent ventilation. I like your tool names! Table saw is a better bevel choice, though you still need a bunch of hand cleanup, but it would get you 90% there. Nice build!
Having a couple proper woodworking tools makes working with wood so much easier. A good vertical belt sander would have those bevels ez pz to handle. Source: Have made tons of wooden weapons growing up
Ice Planet 2002 were my favourite sets, other than the City and Technic stuff from the 80's/90's Ok now kids, repeat after me... A blade is not a pry tool! ;)
Oh man, I absolutely love these... Though I wish the shield had a more classic design, like the original Lion Knights crest or the Black Falcon one. Those were pretty iconic.
Space were my favorite lego sets, always. When they started putting out the Blacktron sets, those guys became the leaders of ALL my other guys because they were so cool.
Did Bill just say he’s going to take his time on something when sanding off the text and bump on the PVC? You are growing as a maker. Good for you! Such a fun build.
That compass edge trick is soooo amazing.....well to me, thank you....no more precarious ruler balancing on the edges.....you guys are great...thank you
LEGO was a rare commodity in my house, it wasn't easily available where I lived in the 70s. The only set I had was a generic one for building loads of different vehicles and simple buildings (it's set #911 if you want to look it up) while my sister had one for building a domestic home with tall people and cool little furniture and fittings pieces to make houses and shops, which was set #232. They were great generically themed sets, not too restrictive, encouraging years of creativity throughout my childhood and teen years too.
This is amazing. I'm a little disappointed you didn't choose a classic castle faction, but the shapes are spot on! Excellent work! I'd love to make one of these now.
Well that was a beautifully made prop making video along with some beautifully made props. I hope there's some other prop ideas coming, like a Lego knights helmet and armor or even a Lego camera. Great job overall.
For mine, the late '70s space lego sets (the blue and gray sets) were my absolute favourites. BTW - if there is a Lego Bill mini-fig, does that make human Bill the maxi-fig? Love this ep!
@@punishedprops You should totally take the sword and shield when you see Frank Ippolito - borrow his creepyfig head and cosplay as the creepiest knight fig.
Definitely going to show my age here, but my favorite set as a kid was the Space Police (2) set. The best one from that series was the Galactic Mediator (Set 6984) which I still have. Love it.
Ok, really jealous of this one! I don’t know what you do with old builds, but if you have a charity auction some day I’m going to keep an eye out for this.
Ive pieced it together, we never see their house, not because they only film in the shop, but because bill's lego collection takes up all the room possible, with just enough space for a bed and a walkway to it
Awesome build. The space ship Lego set was one of my favorite sets. It was a large ship that broke away it 3 smaller ships. I haven't thought about it in over 3 decades.
Bill, that was fairly epic, as was tiny Lego Bill. I say you've found a new co-host! Though he might upstage you. And your trick with the compass to draw the edge?? Booya!
loved this project, so fun and would look great in a kids play room. The only gripe I have is the outline of the lion, I feel a tad more effort could have been used to get it a bit better, but in general this is so cool, great job. I'm starting mine soon ;)
This was awsome! I think you guys should make the whole knight mini fig costume and pair it with Frank Ippolito's uncanny Lego mask project from a while back. That would be both nightmare fuel and so cool.
That was so pleasing to watch you get super excited with your project. Castle Lego was my favourite too, closely followed by the space stuff! I'd really love it if you finished off that Lego stuff as a full costume 🤔😁

I for one would love to see more giant lego builds.
That's what we like to hear!
@@punishedprops me too! This turned out absolutely fantastic! Loved every second of the video!
@@punishedprops i would like to see bionicle life sized
Maybe when the decide to display the sword and shield they could make scale arms to attach to a wall and hold them both.
The original star wars sets from the 90s. You should make a lightsaber using that pvc and then use acrylic bars for the "blade"!
That would totally work!
Do it
@@punishedprops I would love to see a human-sized Lego lightsaber!
yeah, but how do you get that distinctive bubble in the lightsaber?
Lego boba Fett yesssssssssss please
loved the castle sets! surprised you didn't go for the knight's helmet as well... maybe later??
That would be a really fantastic build!
Costume idea for DragonCon: Life size Lego Bill
@@punishedprops woot! So excited!
Me to
*video takes 1 hour
Bill 4 minutes in: “We’re pretty much halfway done I think”
Use a spray-on sanding sealer on the bare wood, then sand the wood smooth before primer to help get rid of the wood grain.
This. I usually do several coats of spray shellac on bare wood before primer.
That sword fit...my god. Amazing!
It was extremely satisfying. The whole build was. I was giggling a LOT. =)
I’m a younger dude, so I grew up with Mars Mission, Power Miners, and Space Police. I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite out of the three, and don’t even get me started on non-LEGO branded themes like Star Wars, or Technic sets like Bionicle or Hero Factory...
Throw a bit of salt down it will help to stop big glue areas from sliding.
That is a really fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing. =D
Evan and Katelyn tried this and the salt particles were too big for a tight glue seal. Even at finely ground size. :/
@@Aviator_MD Hope you can share your expertise with Evan and Katelyn, then! :D

If you go the opposite way with the compass, then you won't get stuck on the edges of the tape. Then you'll just drop down a bit. at 39:30
What a fun build. Makes me want to do some turning!
Thanks Eric! It was super fun to dust off the old lathe again. =D
@@punishedprops Should've worn the "I sand, I die, I sand again" shirt for this project :P
I clicked on the video because of the concept, not noticing the timestamp, and before I knew it I had watched the whole 50 minutes. Great work!
Thank you!
I miss the RES-Q sets from the 90's! Those sets had cool box art with the bad weather and everything
Yeah! The hovercraft was so dope!
The big scene with the broken bridge they did for the catalogue was so cool!!!
The two dislikers are obviously playmobil people
One play Mobil, one megablocks
also some china knock-off fans
Kinda racist but ok !!,BTW i play LEGO
I had no intention on it being racist
I just forgot that the company's name was LEPIN
Lolll
Blacktron was always the best Lego sets! This build is amazing!
Love Classic LEGO Space.
Great build guys, love it! My favorite classic lego was the 1986 Cosmic Fleet Voyager!!!
YES! Spaceship!!
the intros are always so wholesome
CLASSIC SPACE! Who's with me??
Benny the spaceman with his retro space helet! "Can I build a spaceship!?"
I'm with you! As a kid I got hold of every LEGO Space kit I could find. I eventually took over the garden shed and built a giant paper mâché and plaster moonscape with them all setup. I miss being a kid.
Yeah!
That opening was great
Glad you liked it!
Weathering hides crimes. Good to know. NOW to start my crime spree! bwahahahahahaha.

dont forget tje bandsaw "jabba the cut"
Now you have to do a full blown LEGO knight cosplay. 😉 This was another awesome project!
That would be BONKERS. I LOVE IT!
Soooooooo good. I always wanted the Lego sword when I was a kid. I remember finding a really simplistic sword at the Dollar tree when I was young that was pretty close, but gold in color. I had that thing into my 20s.
I've always been a fan of swords. Toy or otherwise. =)

Awesome project! I love big lego stuff
Lego Space! M-Tron and BlackTron were my two favourites! How about making the "loud hailer" for a build?
So neat!
Ice Planet 2002 were my favourite sets, other than the City and Technic stuff from the 80's/90's

Remind you guys of anyone?

Reminds me on Bobby Duke Arts
Yes
Honestly, I'd love to see videos on the old Bionicles weapons. Those were always so awesome looking!
I used to love and still do the Lego police range I even made a comic with them when I was about 9
That's so wonderful!
Punished Props Academy I’m going to try and find that comic
Thanks for listing all the material/stuff you used, and providing links to them ... very educational and extremely helpful. Thanks again!
Also, that Vac has a cool name :-)
HAHAA! Well played Chad, well played. =)
The Space Monorail! best christmas/birthday ever!
Cool
You think XD
@@yee8777 lol? What?
Favorite set? That's easy! SPAAAACE!
I took me 17 min to realize this was 50 min long
i gotta say lego power miners will always be my favorite lego series
oirginal technic sets
They were so good, right?!
I second that.
@@punishedprops Very much! Anything that had gears and wheels was always fun
I loved the old space sets, so maybe a Lego space helmet, or Lego ray gun would be cool!
I WANT A LEGO BILL!!!!!!!!
The realization at 26:50 that Bill has when his plan comes together. :) So good! My favorites where the Robin Hood series and now the star wars sets.
I had the Ghost Castle and the Dragon Castle!! I like this build soooooooo much!!!
I absolutely LOVED the original LEGO technic sets, and I still have the ones I got all those years ago
Oh man, I absolutely love these... Though I wish the shield had a more classic design, like the original Lion Knights crest or the Black Falcon one. Those were pretty iconic.
Please now make the wearable Knight helmet and armor from lego!
PS: this brought me so many good memories!
Space were my favorite lego sets, always. When they started putting out the Blacktron sets, those guys became the leaders of ALL my other guys because they were so cool.
Did Bill just say he’s going to take his time on something when sanding off the text and bump on the PVC? You are growing as a maker. Good for you! Such a fun build.
One of my favorite makers... and one of my favorite toys (and my favorite themes within LEGO is Classic Castle). Awesome build Bill.
That compass edge trick is soooo amazing.....well to me, thank you....no more precarious ruler balancing on the edges.....you guys are great...thank you
Happy to help!

There was a one about aliens and secret agents. The sets were intricate, and that's why I liked them.
I would watch this again just to see the tiny block plane again! Love it!
Isn't it adorable, Pat?! =D
I always loved the LEGO space stuff and the skeletons
there are no words to explain how much I love this build!

Ok, really jealous of this one! I don’t know what you do with old builds, but if you have a charity auction some day I’m going to keep an eye out for this.
Awesome job Bill! I want to try this for my nephew
What a fun build. If you’re using that big ol airbrush, you can get 2K clear coats to run through that thing. I use it a lot for model cars.
This makes me want to build the LEGO space gun from classic sets. Thanks for sharing this!
That would be such a fantastic build! =)
Just curious why you used wood for the sword blade instead of more of the pvc you made the plugs for the shield handle out of?

Awesome build btw, will definitely give it a try myself at some point!
I love this build!!! Lego knights and castles are my second favorite after the Mars mission spacecrafts sets. please do more Lego inspired builds!
I gave you a like just for how happy you were with the final product. lol great job as always thanks for the show.
Thanks very much!
Ooooh man, that *THUNK* when the tang slipped into the handle :O
I've used that same 2k clear on a ton of my furniture builds. It really is amazing, the build came out awesome ! Looking forward to the next one
Thanks very much!
Cool build. Please don’t poke your eye out. Keep up the good work! So much fun
Not sure of any classic LEGO sets, but I LOVE all the star wars spaceship sets. Oh and throwback to Bionicles!
