TREMORTUSK! The Biggest Kitbash I've Ever Made

I'm a big fan of the machine designs in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbiddden West, so I made a Tremortusk, which is a mecha mastodon for the uninitiated. In a way, this video is a spiritual successor to Howl's Moving Castle: another quadraped build with a house on its back that took over two months to complete.

I’m a 60 year old grandma 👵 and I don’t know how I got here… I don’t even like toys or model making but I’m so enthralled by your kind voice, creative ingenuity and you even throw in some humor!
I’m so glad I came across your channel- well done!

[NorthoftheBorder]

I wanted to make an Electro-phant too but thought, "no way man, even I'm not crazy enough to tackle the never-ending greebles". Yet here you are, with almost 40 minutes of primary monitor content.

[A.Mere.Creator]

This man will single-handedly solve the plastic crisis if he keeps making these videos

[that-guy]

How you managed to make something that looks so good and so accurate out of literally “just some shit I found” is beyond me.

[aabatteries]

This man is single-handedly keeping the dollar store in business.

[komakesthings]

I don't know about anyone else but I'd be down for a slice-of-life video where Studson films his Dollar Store trips to find cool bits, especially if the video includes Studson explaining to the confused cashier what he's planning on making.

[BentleyHouseMinis]

Toys tremble in fear at the single phrase "those are some nice arms you've got"😄 It's always inspiring to see your vision to come together in the end with so many complicated pieces! Amazing!!

[PhantomSavage]

Studson will always be king for one reason in particular:
He spends as much time editing the gags in his video as he does actually building his models... which is insane.

[hazelnazel]

Ok I'm high right now but oh my god man... These videos are SO impressive. Iconic, original, creative, hilarious. You don't just make amazing builds, you reuse old materials, you say funny shit, you edit fun shit, you do editing tricks, your pacing is perfect, you film and light the set ups really you sing your patrons names in a rhyming fashion, quickly.... GIVE THIS MAN A MILLION DOLLARS

[gammag]

It’s a little insane to me how you managed to make all the limbs look uniform considering how much random stuff you used! This is absolutely amazing

[MignonOficina]

The horseshoe placement is perfect. Here's my petition for the aquisition of an extra horseshoe pack, This era CAN NOT END!!

Also, incredible build as always. I'm truly in awe of how well those random plastic bits fit together.

[kiveonn]

"Triangle surplus from all the corners cut off sci-fi doors", holy heck I love that. First video that I'm seeing from you and the satisfying building coupled with such charming commentary has me hooked!

[DarkEdgeTV]

This was well worth the wait, it's easily my favourite model from you so far. Incredible work, it's beautiful!

I’m here to thank you for the phrase “free weathering”
I have been trying to make an old weathered journal recently and it has helped me remember that’s it’s all okay when I keep accidentally ripping the corners or crumpling the pages or when the tea bag just opened and got all the chunky bits all over the paper as I was trying to stain it
It’s all for the aesthetic in the end baby
Thank you

[frankiecellist]

i love that the version of the elephant that is playing in the background is played by higher-pitched woodwind instruments. makes me giggle every time i come back to this video

[IbelinnCreations]

I'll say this every time. You're a frickin wizard, and you knocked it out of the park with this one again! Damn, just...DAMN!

[jesustyronechrist]

This is stunning! Not just the miniature, but the whole video.

All of it just exudes.... Chill. Chill and love of life.

[Blandco]

The only Phant's joke really motivates me to up my game when it comes to throwaway jokes. This channel is the absolute apex of crafting humor. And the animated kit kat vector graphic! This is such a well produced video. Dang.

[ChrisParayno]

Hands down the best narration for painting ever

[tyeddyedfriedgranny]

I started watching Bill Making Stuff and dozed off( oh geesh not because of Bill because I'm old and doze alot😬! Bill rocks😍!) so my auto play kept going and when I snored so loud I woke myself up, this was playing.
It amazed me as well as awed and dazzled!
Well done young man.
You most definately have a new sub and I will spread the word through out the land...aaww who am I kiddin' I don't have friends but I do have taste and you dude knocked my socks off.
So whilst I ride off into the sunset (to buy new socks) I wish you health, happiness and fond howdy new partner!
Stay Groovy✌~N~💖
