I just asked Miyazaki and he said "yep, this kinda nails the Ghibli vibe." Expect a visit from Howl to be docking here soon.

Hi Studson! 👋
Very nice build! I’m excited for this new town series. Thanks for the shoutout as well.
Boylei ~ I just watched all your "town series" two days ago.
Fucking glorious! ✨
Amazing project, very well done. Thank you.
Fish man
Mmm yes 2 people who i copy the ideas of
We all voted “a little bit of everything” because it’s closest to “whatever you enjoy making.” As long as you are having fun and excited about your projects we will happily watch them. (That’s why I voted that way at least, I suppose I shouldn’t speak on behalf of everyone else) Thanks for yet another great video!!
I second this!
🙋🏻♀️ That was my reason too
its always good to let somebody’s creativity thrive!
^This.
Youre very welcome
Excellent as usual! You knowww I liked the bricks sequence. Hashtag RESPECT.
(Because I know the way you animate using live-action footage... chopping through that mess is even more tedious than the other way. :) )
23:40: Uncle Bill getting real over here. Hashtag RESPECT.
It is more tedious right? I've always thought so.
@@BillMakingStuff : I've done it in a pinch but I wince at the thought of having to animate ONLY via chopping up live-action footage. :)
Absolutely love this Bill. Your whimsical editing style is so good lol. Great build and awesome vid man, looking forward to seeing the town further come to life!
Thanks mate!
Cat's kibble is beads! I should've known that. : )
I like how you use your hot glue gun to bore holes into the plastic. Intenso!
This build came out great, I really like the green patina on the metal. Very cool.
"42" Congratulations Bill & Cat Making Stuff on achieving your Douglas Adams status. This episode is now part of the secret to life, the universe and everything.
Oh, good show, I missed that!
The Bill Making Stuff aesthetic, both the models and presentation, are wonderful.
13:38 The first rule of Survey Club is, "Never offer an "All Of The Above" option."
The Billville Post Office is very cool.
second rule is "dont let the answerers choose their own option" after Taylor Swift was voted to visit a school for the deaf lol
You really are developing as an artist Bill! Well done with this one. Thanks for the shout-out!
Not enough people mention how much care you put into the sound design of your videos!
I have watched several other crafters make foam bricks. They use a hot wire cutter to do it. And while I can see that it is much faster for them to do it that way I really enjoy the charming and frankly more realistic bricks that you ended up with. Even with the extra time and effort it might take to cut them by hand I feel that the aesthetic is worth it. Well done.
I agree. While using a hot wire might be quicker and get you more uniform bricks, chopping them by hand results in more 'organic' bricks. And we all know that free-range, organic bricks are the best!
I need a stinky sewer build!!! Extra stinky!!! Bound to be a few stinky sewer golems made entirely of hot melt and stuff discarded down the drains.
Love this one, the brick dome especially. Reminds me of igloos, which always seem like really elegant structures. Here’s to more flock than One Man and his Dog (or Cat in this instance).
Scratchbuilding is of course a major skill and I know it's taken years of honing, but it still looks like absolutely-for-real magic to me when you pick something up I've been seeing every day of my life....and suddenly it's a door!! Suddenly it's cool guns and barbed wire and monster eyes! I'm slowing working my way through your videos - I started all the way back there at Episode 1 - and I love your sense of humour and your unmatched skill at making the coolest rusty things from junk and bits and bobs. (Also! I am making sandstone bricks today so this was especially helpful!)
I've been trying to make bricks out of EVA foam... it's meant to be XPS foam. No wonder my results have been the drizzling jobbies.
I swear I learn something new from every one of your videos.
That dog tag door is so clever Bill! Love your Nausicaa aesthetic.
I love this editing style it is so unique and I haven't really seen any other channels edit like this, especially with all the time and care that is put into these videos.
It'll be so much fun watching this little city expand, I can't wait to see how it develops. Thanks for another awesome video!
Martina from the Nerdforge must have felt a disturbance in the force when you started making those bricks.
Can't wait to see more of this town, it looks like it has some history!
If I could like this twice, I would! You’re editing really stands out from other model-building RUclipsrs. So much personality!
Cat Town is going to be great can't wait to see how you help Cat pull off another great "Cat Making Stuff" Video! 🐱🦁🐯⚒🔩🔧🪛🪚
Conduit tube is often call wire loom where I live, in case anyone has trouble finding it.
Love the helicopter/windmill, and bricks might be your new rivets as far as xylophone montage sections go. 10/10, would recommend 👍
What the heck how was this comment made 15 hours when the video come out ten minutes ago????
@@Shep-1701 it’s out early for patrons as an unlisted video before it goes live
@@Shep-1701 yeah patrons get early access, updates, community goodies etc. All from as little as 2 of your British Pounds, well worth it.
I'm so glad I found your channel! It's actual insanity that I haven't before. Especially when I really enjoy Studson and Bolei. Thank you for sharing your art. I'm going back to binging now.
Would love to see a series similar to Caleb’s Wild Sci-fi West, I was just thinking he doesn’t upload fast enough so the more the merrier 👍 can’t wait to see what you come up with
14:06 it’s also called “Splicing” but I’m not sure if a term hobbyists use, my dad used it once when a metal wire broke when trying to get a car onto a trailer.
Build what makes you happy Bill. I think we're happy to see you build anything really.
So there is a nice system I've seen for painting corroded metal, start by mixing your metallic paint with a brown, then give it a heavy dry brush of the metallic paint followed by a dark wash, then paint of your paint colors from there with whatever chipping or sponging method you prefer and then finish up with all the extra weathering layers. While I have only seen this done with red brown iron, I would think it would work as well with a brass or copper paint mixed with an appropriate blue green.
Yes, always a bit of greenery.
The tool you used to make rivets is for marking stitches. Generally used in leatherwork, to lay out where you want to the holes to be punched.
Bill I like that you are sanding some of those plastic bits before primer or paint. Paint has a very hard time sticking to certain types of plastic. Too many crafters just use modpodge like it's a super primer. And it isn't. Great build, as usual. Love the channel.
I love this, you can see so much history and story in all the little details 😍 I can’t wait to see what else turns up in your town 😄 also if you want cheap paint to be more opaque you can add a little corn flour
That bit with the old Christmas lights could be a generator connected to the windmill. Maybe it generates electricity for some kind of futuristic postal service.
the editing has always been fun, but feels like you really enjoyed yourself editing this one and it's super fun. really enjoyable
Wow ur such a creative. The edits, the lighting, the transitions, the stop motion, the modelling itself, the jokes, the multimedia approach
Bill, "Zoe the Robot" thinks that when you get your miniature town built, you should set it all up, add some colored lighting, and tour the town with a miniature camera, making a "Bill Making stuff" documentary. Add in some of your 28mm guys and some stop motion, and it would look really cool.
I love everything. Edit, humor and content. You make me more creative. thanks, amigo.
This is amazing. So much bricks! lol. But for future reference, it might mix it up a bit and make it a little more realistic but helicopter blades aren’t metal and would have heavily deteriorated the composite. Idk I’m thinking a different color maybe, some way to show some sort of delamination somehow…breakdown in the layers. (That said, the leading edge of them is typically made of a durable metal meant to resist abrasion and erosion)
I’m sorry for being a helicopter mechanic. Great build though!
Can't wait to see a whole town. I've been mad-maxing up cars with my 18yo son and we want to start on terrain. I dug out a pattern cutter from my sewing box and meant to mention it for rivets but someone beat me to it. You can do it on plasticard to and show the 'bumps' side too.
Love all your content Bill, and the fact that something is reflecting on your hair in this one and giving you purple highlights 💜 😂
It took me a while to recognize Bill's work without the beads. In his studio there is an action figure from Visionaries Knights of the Magical Light, such a rarity.
I'm with you Bill! I really enjoy laying bricks, I go into a weird 'zen' mode & lose hours! Nice build!
After about a year I finally have internet again (been surviving on mobile data) and I can now fully apretiate the quality of your videos! Im finally living in the future!
I love the world you're building with the lore, characters and buildings. Not my usual cup of tea but you're making me so invested in the beadbot universe!
You've also introduced me to Garlands which looks awesome. I've not done anything miniature related in over a decade (Middle Earth WH), but I recently picked up some supplies and hot wheels cars while starting a junk pile!
21:48 In a plan for vengeance, Cat will attempt to copyright claim the base video.
CAT: All your base are belong to us.
My boyfriend and I love your builds and videos, we watched all of them! We love you 🤸🏽♀️✨💕
Boylei's wild west town are some of mmy very fave RUclips vids, really looking forward to see your town grow bill, very different universe from his.
Can i suggest when you show the results at the end you dot in some of your bead bots or your scavenger band for scale.
Awesome as always, and as a past english model builder its slways interesting to see what tut others collect from the pound shop for their builds.
Keep up the good work
I love this, you can see so much history and story in the details, I’m so excited to see what else will turn up in your town 😄 also You can add a little corn flour to cheap paint to make it more opaque
Buy staples. Run through stapler. Then you have a cheap ladder.
I actually found you through Boylei Hobby Time so seeing you reference him is like watching a cameo between your favourite superhero’s.
Yes please make a town!!!!! This first building is so cool!
Seems like monsters, robots, and vehicles are your most popular videos and those are definitely what I'm looking for. Like many people, I'm not here to learn how to craft, I just enjoy the process, creativity, and editing. Plus, I guess you're kinda funny... not as funny as your cat, but still pretty funny
It's nice to watch a fellow imperfectionist, and Post apocalyptic-Laputa-Nausicaä is my favourite style! 😍
This post office is great and I love how you made the communications tower. I watching the videos in a random order, so I've seen a lot of the other buildings already. If I can belatedly vote, I would vote for more buildings/terrain.
Always fun watching your videos. I see what you make with random crap and I think, “oh, I can do that.” I’m just lacking little things like imagination and talent.
This turned out super cool! I love Boylei Hobby Time’s town series too, I’d love to see you make a town as well.
Talking about Miyazaki references, Future Boy Conan has some cool things, like the spaceship house in which Conan lives at the beginning of the series.
I think "a little bit of everything" is what keeps a channel interesting. I caught myself skipping over videos of channels I once binged because it's "just the same thing in a different color". Also great build! I really enjoy the trash builds because they are examples of fairly cheap crafting (i.e. I live in central Europe and and I have no idea where to grab XPS or EVA foam but so many American builders use it almost exclusively) and you are a master of just eyeballing everything (textures, composition,etc.) which I also enjoy very much. I need the preplanning and the precision for my day job, so eyeballing my crafts feels very relaxing
I would love a basing video as well :)
The build looks absolutely fantastic and I love the idea of a post office! Your stories are always so interesting :0
Bill! Thanks to you and Studson Studio, I've become addicted to miniature building videos. Thanks. Also, I think you should provide voiceover work for the next Portal game. The one that will NEVER happen. Thanks Valve.
I would very much appreciate an episode all about flocking (not sure if I'm spelling that correctly). I've only just discovered that name and I am fascinated by how much texture and detail it brings to a build and I would love to see more about it! Laputa Castle In The Sky is my favorite Ghibli film followed very closely by Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind so I definitely love the little post office you've built here!
This has to be one of my favorites!
Love your humor! Love the build!
I think it's time for "grocery" or general store with odd things for sale and weird shopping buggies. maybe a little kiddie ride out front
Having a short conversation with the cat hehehe.
Thanks for this Sir Bill, this is perfect for my reference that I'm looking for bricks and tower specially the way you color rustic.
No matter how many times it happens the gunshot sound when you cut something and it flies off just gets me, I love it sm
Stumbled on this by accident. Instant subscribe. Complete day brightener. What a charming fellow.
Excellent build - love the brick montage. Yeah, I have a few of those material marker wheel things for rivets - I file some of the teeth off for a variety of different spaces. Have you used PVA glue for rivets? Just dab spots of glue with a needle - it works surprisingly well. Sometimes you need 2 coats but it’s a good look.
I believe people just want to see what YOU Feel like making, so a little bit of everything, but everything is all Bill Making Stuff. Keep doing you bill, can’t wait to see what new stuff you make 👍
Excellent build Bill! The bricks turned out super cool, though I did cry a little when you covered up so many of them with the corrugated 'repair' panels. All that hard work never to be seen again. 😭
Would really like.to see more of these type of videos, I am a big fan of Caleb's "Wild Imaginary West" builds. I can't wait to see how the rest of your Rusty Trash Planet town turns out. Awesome video, thanks for sharing and keep on keeping on!!
Boylei and you are the reason I got into making and painting miniatures
I rewatch Bill’s videos a lot because I love the editing and of course the subject matter; I can’t begin to imagine the patience he must have to stop motion so much of his builds. The brick laying is mind blowing 🤯
Will love to see future builds in this same Post-A town.
This was awesome bill! I can't wait to see the other buildings that are gonna make up the town. I can imagine you designing a video game like a junky space town game it would be 👌🏼
Great video as always. One thing that always stands out to me in your videos is the sounddesign! It adds a whole new layer and is very unique. It perfectly compliments your humor and overall vibe of your content. Great work!
Thanks
the windmill was such a creative repurpose! jolly good job
Fascinating build Bill, interesting use of helicopter rotor and tail section part.... which reminds me my helicopter went missing ......BILLLL !!!!!..... I think you could call it Canker Town , where all tye canker, detritus and other rusted bits of stolen aircraft "Helecopters" and machinery end up .... btw that pin wheel thing , lm sure l seen it used in an S&M video, l just happened to come across while browsing for new shoes.... l was sure S&M was a sister shop Sparks & Mencers to that oher famous store M&S .... then l found out that pinwheel was for inflicting pain ......amazing what some people do !
That came out great...Your montages are the best. And since I was playing the Official Bill Making Stuff Drinking game, (1 shot every time you say "the word Rust", 1 shot when you complain about painting, 2 shots if you say "dry brush", etc...), I can no longer feel my face... OMG you just said "Rust" like 9 more times in a the span of a few seconds... I'm DOOMED!!!
I really hope the Respite series becomes a graphic novel
It is nice to see that you survived that horrific explosion in your bus mishap.
I really liked this building, Bill! I'd like to see more buildings made out of junk, this is very much what I'm into.
I have no affiliation to any miniature building but I really like to watch these videos and watched a lot of them lately. I am always eager to see the grounding colour be applied but I noticed that most content creators don't show the coloring process which is a bummer to me personally. Anyways, I really liked your video, thank you for sharing!
Making individual bricks and laying them one by one is absolute pain, props to you for pushing through with it.
I'd love to see you tackle bases and basing.
a little bit of everything, glad we could help. You're welcome 😁
Recently discovered your channel Bill and you are an INSPIRATION! I've been out of the hobby for years now, but watching you has encouraged me to put my "modelling head" on again. I got into GW stuff when I was 11 back in 1984 and tthe disease took me over. II too want to make my own junk-world and play STARGRAVE in it. I've bought sum kiits to make a crew, and am looking forward to gettiing into modelling and painting once more. Wanna make sum bead bots n space shiips n vehiicles out of trash. THANKS BIILL. THANKS SO MUCH
I look forward to copying ....... I mean watching your town take shape and then having a random spark of inspiration to build one of my own in the future, ha ha ha. I don't know why, but I picture a man who owns a cat named Pat working there.
Now when I drybrush anything I always think of you whispering sweetly into my ear DRRRRRRAYYYYYY BRUSSSSSSSSH.
The answer to EVERYTHING! Without watching: Must be a good episode.
You're an editing genius bill & cat!
Went public right as I punched out for my break, couldn’t think of a better thing to brighten my spirits. The weird west town videos are some of my favorites from BHT, and much like those I’m already inspired, I love how much character people add as crafters to their terrain pieces.
I’d love to see more buildings in future from you, and excited to see what’s next
A wonderful video and, as always, quite amusing to watch. Definitely looking forward to the possibility of this becoming a series! Also glad you're enjoying the painting side more. Every hobby has a part that's less fun (for me and my minis, it's mold line scraping) - so it's great when people can find a way to enjoy more of it. Especially when it helps bring all their prior work together :)
I love the Visionaries dude peaking in frame.
The windmill is brilliant.
Omgosh the video shots of all those bricks being layed musta taken FOREVER
Awesome building, great video Bill! Love the windmill, especially what it's made from, that's really good 👍
Nice touch with the helicopter windmill! ✨
After giving you guff about covering your "minis with lots of skin" in rusty metal, this paint job justification feels very much directed at me... Lol... Great stuff as always, bud... 👍🏽
Bricks and rivets, the perfect build!
Could you make Captain Nemo's sea vessel? That would be cool. Beautiful build Bill.
I’m here from Boylei and Gameyy Builds latest video - I’ve been a sub of yours for a bit, but had to track this vid down ! ❤
