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.
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
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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…
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...
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!
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.
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
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.
Thank you!! You mean the one with golden thing on the tip? These are wifi wires from old laptops, the ones that come out of the mobo and go around the screen :)
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 see you found the video, maybe try that and see if you can better use the crazy glue. Some glues/brands are stronger than others, so maybe try different ones aswell! Good luck
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
First, thank you for this awesome content! Really inspired to make something like this myself. Question: how much time does it take to put together something like this for you?
Just curious. Do you use a 3D printer to help you design some of your parts? I'm just a beginner in the world of diecast customization and I'm noticing some of the artists are using 3D printers to create parts. Thanks for sharing and once again, that is a cool Ford GT. Good job.

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 :)
Love your design sensibilities and proportions. Excellent!
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!!
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!!
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!
This is excellent work, and a solid demonstration of process. Well done!
Thank you so much!
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
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 :)
This transformation proves a very important point it doesnt take alot to fool or trick the masses with props and visual trickery.😮😮😮 regards
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
After it got painted it looked like an actual model kit, good job 👍
Thanks a lot buddy!
Amazing build. Would totally use a similar build for my Warhammer 40K terrains. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot!!
Stunning model,of a jet turbine engine , amazing attention to detail 👌
Thank you!
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
That's awesome! thanks buddy and good luck with your build :D
This was a really cool build!
thank you!
I've always though the yakult bottles had a cool little shape to them. Great use of it.

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 are a well skilled and talented creator, congratulations mate!
Thabk you so much!

Thank you buddy! Not the "single item challenge" you gave me, since I used lots of other bits and pieces, but had fun anyways :)
I love all of your videos man, this is definitely no exception. Great work!!
Thank you for your words buddy!
Great job - looks fantastic!
Thanks a lot!
Hello :) What kind of glue do you use ?
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
Awesome tutorial! Learned some new stuff from watching your video
Thanks a lot buddy, I'm happy to hear that!
Really inventive! Simple, smart ideas that came together! Great buiid!
Thanks a lot, buddy!!
Thanks for the video. Really good skill shown and lots of good ideas in these videos, Keep up the good work. Keep safe and stay well
Thank you for watching buddy, I'm glad you liked it! Stay safe!
Obra de arte! Parabéns!
Outstanding work! Thanks for sharing this.
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.
Wonderful build !
Thanks a lot!
Great job!
Dude! I need to see you install this into a scratch built space ship!!
saudações brasileiras! ótimo trabalho!
Muitíssimo obrigado, amigo!
What material is that precise nozzle of your ca glue made of? Is it possible to buy them like this?
That is the exact bottle they used on the SF3D Falke anti-gravity fighter.
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…
Thank you! I use laser CNCs from maker spaces :)

great job. how you made the wire??
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
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.
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!
The WiFi antenna bit - love it!
Thank you so much!
Amazing 😮
thank you!
This is an Amazing build. You have a new subscriber. Thank you for posting this video..
Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing!!
Amazing work! What was that thick black wire you added before the other electric wire?
Thank you! If I'm remembering it correctly, it's just an audio cable
Very cool.................. 👍👍👍
Thanks :)
So nice.
Thanks!
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
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!
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!
Subbed off this video in my recommends. Great kitbash mate!
Thanks a lot :)
Awesome work sir, inspiring imagination
Thank you so much!
nice job
What is that while material you cut and glue it.
Good job. Very impressive.
Did you make the laser cut pieces? Nice work 👍
Yes I did, thank you!
Where did you get those circle plastic bits at 10:15?
Those are sequins, you can get them on ali express
Wow! That's awesome!
Thank you!
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!!
Very cool! Where can I get some of that tiny rubber hose?
Thank you!! You mean the one with golden thing on the tip? These are wifi wires from old laptops, the ones that come out of the mobo and go around the screen :)
Cut Transform Glue Actually, the larger black tubing you used is what I’m after. Almost looks like heat shrink, but it bends so well...
Oh! So that's just a regular sound cable, nothing fancy!
Cut Transform Glue Of course! Great idea. Thanks!
WHAT IS THE POWDER YOU SHOW ADDING TO THE SUPERGLU?
baking soda
Awesome mate! I have seen the first part of the video on instagram and I needed to see how you finish it 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome, thank you for watching!!
very nice!
Your hands is a 3d printer mate. Gj!
Thanks a lot buddy!!
Hey man! Sorry, but do you a Brazilian? Because the bottle of yakult have letters in portuguese (BR). Make sense?
What is the brand and type of super glue are you using? Tia
I use CA glue, nothing too fancy about it.. just the cheapest I can get
Great work. What glue did you use?
Mostly CA glue
Man Great job Hey you should build a scrap version of Fire Fly that would be 😎 Shiny oh so Shiny
Wheredo you get all those mdf bits?
I cut them on a public maker space, in a laser cnc!
@@CutTransformGlue Would you mind sharing your blueprints?
this one is very cool, just to ask how and where did you get those pieces of wood that you used for this build?? thanks!
Thank you! The pieces are laser cut MDF
Cool 👍. Thank you for showing
Thanks for watching!
Hi what laser cutter do you use please?.
I don't know the details about it, it's a laser cutter from a public maker space
Incredible
Thank you :D
honey im not hoarding trash - this is GUNPLA GOLD

How do you make that glue bottle extension. I'm getting to hate crazy glue, ect. Because the instant bond only seems to work for a week or so.
I see you found the video, maybe try that and see if you can better use the crazy glue. Some glues/brands are stronger than others, so maybe try different ones aswell! Good luck

Great stuff as aways! Where is the Kofi Link?
Sorry! That's corrected now, it's on the description. And thanks a lot buddy!
PERAÍ, VOCÊ É BRASILEIRO? (eu tava sentindo no sotaque, mas essa garrafinha de yakult matou a charada 😱😱😱😱)

How often did you glue your fingers together this video? I never can use superglue without doing that, lol.
I do it all the time! At some point you become imune to ca glue :DD
