Top Secret Source for Scratch Building materials! - April Haul

It's me, Scratch "this has a lot of detail" Bashing.

Here are my latest finds and possible ways I might use them in future scratch builds.

If you are new here and enjoyed the video, please leave me a comment and subscribe! What should I make with all this junk?

After you collect your own junk you must saturate it with plenty of hot glue to create a masterpiece!

Yeah, I say *detail* a lot.

What do you think is the coolest find?

[Dedread]

I love how you mention what you might use each piece for - sometimes I have a great deal of trouble envisioning the pieces of a model based on a pile of parts.

[paulhennessy]

The white-out roller, when new is a perfect way of adding line detail without having to mask. It can be distressed with some scotchbrite and then sealed

[tarkinapa]

The bronze/brass piece with the internal splines looks like a propeller hub from an outboard engine or a stern drive.

this really is just the definition of "one man's garbage is another man's gold."

[themicrowave]

I used to disassemble all sorts of electronics as a child, with the desire to build something entirely different out of all the peices. These scratch builds brought back that desire.

[Mummymunmuggy]

Make a mech, you have a lot of cool pieces for that.

[TheBushdoctor]

I'm just happy to see there's more lunatics like me...

i said it on the last vid and i'll say it again here, this kind of video is amazing! seriously gets my brain going on where i can find new parts, and you suggesting what some things might work good for even gets me thinking more of how i could use parts i already have! as always, looking forward to whatever you have to show us next!

[emkay]

I believe the stuff from 1:17 is crank tool, for bicycle for example. 1:55 is part of bicycle light

Nice haul!
I've got an old CD player which I dismantled to get a similar haul to your VCR, but I haven't used it yet. The thing that struck me was that the shell could be used as a base to make some kind of industrial set for wargaming by adding platforms and walkways on top of all the moulded-in pillars.
Another source of nice little detail bits that I've found is a beading craft shop. Firstly you've got the actual beads, which can provide tiny cylinders, balls, crystals etc, then you've got the charms section, which will have things like tiny skull faces, angel wings and the like which are good for gothic-style stuff. Lastly, they've got fine wire, chain, fastenings and the like, as well as tools designed for deicate stuff.

This is how i made a Warlord Titan.
Those big 3 in 1 Office Printers have great bits too.

My fav was the metal VHS arms and hinged actuators. The rusted Brass splined gear mystery item (sorry i don't know what it is.) Then the ball with multiple prongs (Sea Mine style)

[darthbuzz]

Half way through the video I went around my flat, taking stuff apart and will keep an eye out for discarded items much more vigilantly.
Thank you.

[CutTransformGlue]

Awesome, lots of good stuff! VCRs are amazing to take apart, I've taken one apart in the past and I'm definitely looking to find a "new" one after your video. The DC motors are also great for projects.

[JenxRodwell]

I subscribed after I watched your Gargant video, and I really love watching scratch build stuff like this! Keep up the good work!

[DSCORDANT]

The purple thing is from the paper towel roll for those commercial dispensers. Being a janitor, i a have a ton of those. :P

[AndyJohnsonleftturns]

Those ink cartridge packages are clutch. I have a fat stack of them. I bash them with steampunk greeblies and use them as eldritch machines, utility boxes, generators. The can be passable as just about any small machine.

[andrewutya]

The digital camera parts are awesome! If you collect enough similar parts you can build a digital camera!

[DarkMatterWorkshop]

Ooooh 🤤 lot’s of fun goodies, looking forward to see what you come up with.
