You have recruited me into the Cult of Sprue. Sprue goo is such a versatile medium, I have managed to make sprue bricks(with your coffee grinder trick) and by forming it over wire mesh have created two large projects, a bloodthirster bursting from a swirling well and a Plagueburst Crawler with a slug body instead of tracks. I have several other projects in mind, including basing a whole DeathGuard army and a Diorama of Leman Russ’s vision. I’m incredibly grateful for your videos that totally inspired me.

I just got into Warhammer, and I have saved all of the sprues from my 2500 points of orks. This is insanely useful information

[maximem.ste-marie]

there is one use you forgot : testing paint : since it's sprues, it's the exact same stuff of the models : so if you want to test if something works, you apply it on a part of dried "grey stuff" and that you won't ruin your model.

I discovered that Distress Crackle paint DOESN'T work on this but serves really well as a good glossy varnish.

With the half ball (13) and tires (12) in the silicone moulds, I found that leaving the mould with the sprue goo in an airtight jar with a bit of acetone lets the bubble slowly work out over a few days, then remove the acetone but keep the mould in the jar for another few days, and it will come out without the bubbles (ie bullet holes). Basically the bubbles are caused by the acetone pushing out too fast, and if you slow down the evaporation by keeping it in an airtight jar, the bubbles don't form and you get a better finish (but it is far slower). (also; please be careful heating parts glues with CA superglue, as it release cyanide fumes when heated.)

46 minutes? It wasn’t a good day at first, but it is now!

Finally I can recycle my old sprues! Been hoarding them (read: keeping them from sitting in landfill for the next 1, 000 years) for a while now. Sent you a small box of sprues! I stole some of the nibbly nobbly bits to make a pile of coins though. Thank you for making these videos.

[mynameisvignesh]

Love the video! What a creative way to not waste sprues, and less plastic going to the landfill is always great too!

[maximem.ste-marie]

with your trick of melting down sprue, I just made the ice for an hoceky ring! (would have costed me WAY too much in Green stuff).

thanks, mate!

[JohnGunter_Johnprime]

For years I've melted sprues and stretched them out to make the wire shape like you did at 3:29, then clipped the wire to the desired length, leaving a little bit of the sprue end to make radio antennas. While the sprue is still hot from the melting, you can bend it if you want your antenna to be bent.

I really like the small terrain pieces and props. The larger things are great as well but the smaller things just add the details I like to see.

[hi-ghiu]

these are so useful because it gives me inspiration on what i can add to mocs.

[pellelle]

Hi there, watching a program for kids there were some creepycrawlers and i though it could be a fun project for your sprues, a big woodlice animalwar for orcs or something like the ones in "Naussica" the movie by Miyazaki but turn into rides for hordes.
Aniway pal, cheers and take care!
Interezting channel BTW!

[maximem.ste-marie]

nice idea to put all those ideas in one video with timeline cuts!

[Iheart-npzn]

this is... the best. i have literally hundreds of these guys taking up about 3 boxes (large) and now i can put them to use

[jasonrheins]

Hi MH—Here's something I do, that #9 reminded me of. When you drill into minis you typically get little spirally bits. I save those up and them as flock for grass or Spanish moss. When I'm running low, I just grab an old sprue and start drilling away.

[hazed]

Absolutely fab. I swear, you show this to a 14 year old and they'll be so inspired the next thing your house will burn down!!! 😂😂
Hehe no but seriously what a fantastic list of ideas. And so much better than sending this plastic to some horrendous landfill.
The tie fighter was amazing and I could take a bite out of that burger!!! 😅
Really well done, I'll be keeping an eye on your channel for sure.

[tacticalbattledroid]

Well i haven't been this impressed by anyone on YouTube for a long time and i have just started getting around to building my Orks that i have had stashed away for a few years and you have inspired me.

[Chaossidy-]

Im late as hell, but this is a great video. Im recently getting back into the hobby and went hard with more for my chaos army inculding Angron and a Knight ill probably never use. Two new armys for my sons, Dark Angels and Necrons. Then tons and i mean like 15 sets of terrain. I knew a good chunk of this but learned a good bit of new things and ideas! Thank you!

[choverov]

I really like this compilation video. My favourite uses for srpues are numbers 39, 32, 26, 23, 15, 9, 7, 6, 5 and especially number 29. Love it!
Keep on doing this amazing work. Greetings from Spain!

Just awesome. I used to build scenario from sprues about 15 years ago. But this gives me the urge to start again. So many awesome ideers.
