I love scratch building,. In this type of modeling there are no restrictions.To build and create something out of nothing is the highest level one can achieve. adding this style to your models also turns them into one off works of art masterpieces.
Amazing as always. It takes a great eye to place details that look like they're there for a reason and a functional part of the model, not just details for the sake of details. Love it.
When I was a kid I even put together a formula-1 car only with empty bottles of Yakult kkkkk but that is another level, today I am doing a city bus project where the tires I am using these same bottles. Your project is magnificent.
at first i was partial on the use of the laser cut parts. im more into the use of only scrap and rubbish parts. but the end result was amazing. great work
So good! It totally looks like a detailed replica of some real design! Judging by the thumbnail I thought this was going to be some obsessively detailed reference-heavy project! This way I love it waaaay more! Really inspiring! Glad I found your channel! You need to get some AK Interactive Weathering "kits"... I come from painting miniatures with acrylics, and recently re-discovered the wonders of enamels, (and oil-paint) plus twenty years of development on the stuff, since I first started using HUMBROL... All those years ago...
When I saw this… I had to sub!! Simply Amazing. Going to have to check out more to get my sci fi mojo going! And I think getting a laser cutter just moved up on todo list.
Huh, just discovered your channel. Instant sub, love trash-bashing! I have a good amount of "components" stashed in the garage, away from wifes eyes and kids grasp...
Looks great. I'm working on my first scratch build. I'm building a little landing craft out of a plastic egg thing your supposed be able to boil eggs with. So far it's on the wright track
The pipework you achieved with epoxy putty was inspirational! Finding tubing is easy in all sorts of sizes, but making the curved corners is less successful, the 'bendy' drinking straw is not clean enough and bending tubing is never 100% effective. Thanks for a workable solution - i shall have to try it. And a great project with the 'famous' yakult bottle - it is such an engine shape, but you've disguised it brilliantly. Nice work.
Trick for nicely bending any bendable tube: fill it with sand before bending. This way the tube won't give up in the curves. Some materials (e.g. plastic) may need some heating; metals won't. Wood tubes would require wetting or vapor treatment, and heating.
Excellent work, certianly BTFOs my own miniature generators vid. Very nicely editted & I love the attention to detail as well as the going the extra mile in terms of precision. Amazing job, dude
Pretty sure I'm not the only who has mentioned this, but jet turbine engines usually require a lot of air through an intake. Other than this, i would say you made the moc engine look detailed and quite realistic. Cheers.
Just discovered kitbashing and scratchbuilding just now, and got overwhelmed by your works, especially the details like wires and pipes. I’m curious that do you have to figure out all the functions, purposes and reasons why the tubes and wires are connected that way when you’re looking at the references or you just mostly focusing on trying to replicate the greeblie look? I’m an art student and wanting to create realistic mechs, but these details kinda pulls me back and I don’t know where to start the research, school teachers don’t offer practical suggestions is sad. :(
Thank you so much! I'm constantly thinking about the functionality of the pieces I create so.. Not that I can distinguish the function of each wire and pipe, but I try to make it like they serve a purpose on the overall design!
Just discovered this channel, WOW! amazing job you do! i loved all you models. I make models from scracth also, and I know the work they take. You are spanish or Latin American, I was surprised to see the bottle with letters in Spanish. I am Spanish.
I would sand the bottle with a quite rough sanding paper before glueing anything to it. Should be PE or PP plastic...nothing you can glue very well. The engine looks hot though! Inspired by TWA?
The plastic is so thin, I was really afraid of trying to remove any material from it! Even thought of adding something to the inside, like a resin... But I see your point! Thanks buddy :)
@@CutTransformGlue Ruffing it up a bit will help alot though. Adding epoxy will not work well. Generates heat and I think even a lil bit of heat will make it warp.
While most food bottles are made from one of the waxy plastics, Yakult bottles are actually polystyrene, which is why they're so popular in modeling circles. Can be glued/welded with any plastic cement.
@@LaserGadgets it's definitely polystyrene. Have you ever used one before? I have several sitting here, has PS on the recycling symbol and melts in acetone. Also means it's easy to paint.
Insta-subbed. Great work here! Just a tip. Glue a fine grit sandpaper on one side of our cutting metal ruler. It makes a world of difference when cutting plastics.
I just found your channel, and of course subbed. I just thought I’d let you know of a great source for some cool parts for detailing models. Try to find a bunch of vacuum tubes from old TVs and radios. Carefully brake the glass and you’ll find lots of interesting little metal pieces. Just check the part numbers first because some tubes are valuable. Most aren’t, but some are. Keep up the great work.
I knew it. I am Brazilian as well. There was no way I would pass up this detail. I had noticed your accent sounds a bit Brazilian. Nice channel. I am learning a lot. :-)
Me tira um dúvida, vi que tu fez o macete da agulha hipodermica com tekbond, faço algumas kits da revell e já tentei fazer esse truque da agulha, mas nunca dá certo, qual o macete? Acho um absurdo a revell custar quase 50 reais 😂
Sou sim amigo! aqui você encontra como Poliestireno/estireno/chapa PS.. Tem de diversos tipos. Eu geralmente reaproveito de cartazes e sinalização que é jogada fora
I realize this is an older video, it is great work though! Thank you for sharing. Can I ask where you got the random MDF circles and shapes? I imagine this would be tremendously helpful, but those laser cutters are expensive…
Fun fact, since you didn't touch the inside of the bottle, you can still use It.
That's true! Maybe I'll start making custom water bottles to kill time in this shelter in place!
What..😂
Jet engine Shot glass! Bugger the yakult lol
Just slurp out that star wars juice
It would make a sweet stash spot if it was incorporated into a larger project.
I love scratch building,. In this type of modeling there are no restrictions.To build and create something out of nothing is the highest level one can achieve. adding this style to your models also turns them into one off works of art masterpieces.
Adding the wires was a nice touch to give the appearance of hydraulic fluid and engine lubricant lines. Well done!
Thank you :)
Keep this up man, you’ll be a big channel soon enough, talent like this doesn’t go unnoticed!
Thanks a lot, this means a lot!!
Amazing as always. It takes a great eye to place details that look like they're there for a reason and a functional part of the model, not just details for the sake of details. Love it.
Thank you so much buddy!!
I forgot how incredibly awesome your channel is. Came back to admire the disc sander and got lost in your videos...
Thank you, means a lot :)
Very awesome we have the video of this iconic scratchbuilt model I’ve been seeing kicking around the Internet for a long time!
Thanks a lot buddy!
When I was a kid I even put together a formula-1 car only with empty bottles of Yakult kkkkk but that is another level, today I am doing a city bus project where the tires I am using these same bottles. Your project is magnificent.
That's so awesome, keep going and thanks for your comment!
Love your design sensibilities and proportions. Excellent!
at first i was partial on the use of the laser cut parts. im more into the use of only scrap and rubbish parts. but the end result was amazing. great work
Amazing build. Would totally use a similar build for my Warhammer 40K terrains. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot!!
This is excellent work, and a solid demonstration of process. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Stunning model,of a jet turbine engine , amazing attention to detail 👌
Thank you!
Great work! Would love to have seen a weathered wash on this, maybe some grease and oil look.
I'll make a second one someday so that I can paint and weather it! Thank you
This transformation proves a very important point it doesnt take alot to fool or trick the masses with props and visual trickery.😮😮😮 regards
After it got painted it looked like an actual model kit, good job 👍
Thanks a lot buddy!
Great job!

I'm really happy to hear that, thanks a lot! I'll look for those paints, see if I can find them!
I'd like to see how you'd create your own Maschinen Krieger Falke antigravity vehicle. The bottle is a major feature of the Falke.
You're a genius man now this is talent
Thank you so much!
So nice.
Thanks!
Obra de arte! Parabéns!
When I saw this… I had to sub!!
Simply Amazing.

saudações brasileiras! ótimo trabalho!
Muitíssimo obrigado, amigo!
I've always though the yakult bottles had a cool little shape to them. Great use of it.
Looks great. I'm working on my first scratch build. I'm building a little landing craft out of a plastic egg thing your supposed be able to boil eggs with. So far it's on the wright track

very nice!
nice job
Outstanding work! Thanks for sharing this.
This was a really cool build!
thank you!
Very nice! I love all the tubing and wiring.
Thank you buddy! Not the "single item challenge" you gave me, since I used lots of other bits and pieces, but had fun anyways :)
Really inventive! Simple, smart ideas that came together! Great buiid!
Thanks a lot, buddy!!
That is the exact bottle they used on the SF3D Falke anti-gravity fighter.
Wonderful build !
Thanks a lot!
You are a well skilled and talented creator, congratulations mate!
Thabk you so much!
I love all of your videos man, this is definitely no exception. Great work!!
Thank you for your words buddy!
Good job. Very impressive.
Awesome tutorial! Learned some new stuff from watching your video
Thanks a lot buddy, I'm happy to hear that!
Dude! I need to see you install this into a scratch built space ship!!
Excellent work, certianly BTFOs my own miniature generators vid. Very nicely editted & I love the attention to detail as well as the going the extra mile in terms of precision.
Amazing job, dude
Thank you so much!
Great job - looks fantastic!
Thanks a lot!
The WiFi antenna bit - love it!
Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching buddy, I'm glad you liked it! Stay safe!
Perfeito ..prezado.
This is an Amazing build. You have a new subscriber. Thank you for posting this video..

Awesome, thank you for watching!!
Wow! That's awesome!
Thank you!
Incredible
Thank you :D
Wow this reminds me of the jetmotor on the hasegawa falke 1/20 model kit. I'm convinced Kow Yokohama (the designer) use the same bottle as the base!
Yeah, I bet he did! Modellers have been doing so, I believe it's kind of a tradition of the ma.k modellers
Hey did on the original and it was a hot item to get exported from Japan back in the day to scratchbuild a Falke

Awesome work sir, inspiring imagination
Thank you so much!
Subbed off this video in my recommends. Great kitbash mate!
Thanks a lot :)
Cool 👍. Thank you for showing
Thanks for watching!
You should make a plane for that badass engine!!
I've been thinking a lot about that.. not a plane but a spaceship!
Oh sick! That’s even better!
Insta-subbed. Great work here!
Just a tip. Glue a fine grit sandpaper on one side of our cutting metal ruler. It makes a world of difference when cutting plastics.
Thanks a lot buddy, for the comment but also for this great tip!!
Your hands is a 3d printer mate. Gj!
Thanks a lot buddy!!
Man Great job Hey you should build a scrap version of Fire Fly that would be 😎 Shiny oh so Shiny
I believe it could fly
Speaking as someone that had to work on aircraft engines for 3 years. you are missing about 500 clamps on all those wires LOL.
Exellent !!!
Brazilian plastic bottle !!! 😮😊
wow! daredevil the little ant! 7:13
Killer bro! I love it!
Thank you!!
It's a cool work. I'm just subbed here
Thank you!
Parabéns. Perfeito
Muito obrigado!
Clearly brazillian accent! XD
Great content! Thanks for sharing! :)
Hahaha, obrigado amigo! Seja bem vindo
@@CutTransformGlue valeu! continua produzindo! eu estou começando nessa arte e valorizo muito o aspecto reciclável.
I just found your channel, and of course subbed. I just thought I’d let you know of a great source for some cool parts for detailing models.

Thanks a lot buddy and welcome! I'll look for old TVs and Radios then! Thanks a lot for the tip :)
i thik this very detail
should've added a weak fan, LEDs, and stringers in the back to simulate a flame.
Awesome
Thank you!!
how did yakult end up in a mad scientist's hand?
Maybe should have used abit of pva with the CA for shock absorption pretty cool though
Oh really?! Never heard of that, I'll give it a try! Thanks
just needs a wash to bring out the details
I agree! :)
I didn’t know Yakurt exists outside my country.
Any tips for finding old electronics to take apart? My friend group is weirdly bad at buying unnecessary stuff.
I get used old electronics usually from friends, dumpster diving, things like that :D
If you ever sell a huge pack of your cnc wood shapes……I’m perfectly happy to pay good money!
Obrigado pelos excelentes vídeos e parabéns. Tudo fica maravilhoso.
O que você usa na ponta da garrafa da TEKbond? esse aplicador ajuda MUITO.
Muito obrigado! O dosador da cola eu mesmo que faço, vou fazer um video ensinando e postar aqui no canal em breve!
You mad lad I used to drink that
When will you decide that such a powerfull engine deserves a beautyfull aerodinamic home?🐸🇫🇷
Oh, I would make it completely different these days.. so that one will live as it is!
It very cool...
Thanks a lot!
Now that's imagination!
Thank you so much!
I don't know if anyone has commented this fact but the bottle is all in Portuguese. I guess it might've been bought in Brazil.
Yes it was, I'm from Brazil :)
I knew it. I am Brazilian as well. There was no way I would pass up this detail. I had noticed your accent sounds a bit Brazilian. Nice channel. I am learning a lot. :-)
Discovered you from brasil 😂

PERAÍ, VOCÊ É BRASILEIRO? (eu tava sentindo no sotaque, mas essa garrafinha de yakult matou a charada 😱😱😱😱)
Aproveitando: como é o nome de styrene em portugues? Eu queria comprar pra usar mas eu não sei se chapa de poloestireno é a mesma coisa

What a work ,👌. How did you prepair the blue botle.
As usual, great job ! ;)
Thank you!
I used to drink yakult
chevere
Laser cut wood, that's so 2000. Try 3D printing 😀😀😀
Can you please make a video on how to scratch build midoriya’s mask, I lost my figma midoriya’s mouthpiece. Thank you!!!
I realize this is an older video, it is great work though! Thank you for sharing.
Can I ask where you got the random MDF circles and shapes? I imagine this would be tremendously helpful, but those laser cutters are expensive…

Now make 3 more.
What material is that precise nozzle of your ca glue made of? Is it possible to buy them like this?
