Yeah, I say *detail* a lot.
What do you think is the coolest find?
The 2 pumps great content btw.
The pumps could go at the back as arm hydraulics .
The bronze/brass piece with the internal splines looks like a propeller hub from an outboard engine or a stern drive.
That's it! It's a Drive Sleeve!
Better in a model than a landfill.
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
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.
Make a mech, you have a lot of cool pieces for that.
I'm just happy to see there's more lunatics like me...
I believe the stuff from 1:17 is crank tool, for bicycle for example. 1:55 is part of bicycle light
Thanks!
whyd i just now find this channel I've been looking for aomething like this
Welcome! I hope you enjoy the builds
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.
Yeah, VCRs and old cassette decks are an awesome source for parts. Hope you find one soon!
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.
this really is just the definition of "one man's garbage is another man's gold."
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!
Glad you like it! There will be another one in 30 days :p
I hope I can build something in between all the collecting.
We can find bits and parts in anything people toss away. Old guitar strings for conduit and spent cartridges from air pistols and the clear plastic packaging for displaying the item. I am looking at creating molds to replicate parts I know I have one of but would love to use again. Let's go crazy with it.... or have we already? Jury's out depending on who you ask.
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)
The brass piece is so cool and rare I am considering making a cast of it. I'm sometimes afraid I will "waste" a really cool unique piece. This generally leads to hoarding way more than building lol.
@@ScratchBashing I know, then you don't wanna throw out the molds... ;) :p :D
Have you got that Blue Stuff reusable mold making product? Also called Oyumaru in Japan and comes in a million colours.
Another good thing to horde are Car Tire Pumps. The casings make great hallway walls and the internals are excellent machine pieces.
@@batman9592 I know of blue stuff but I don't have any yet. I will have to keep an eye out for pumps.
mystery item is part of a shower valve
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.
I subscribed after I watched your Gargant video, and I really love watching scratch build stuff like this! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
That printer cartridge case looks like ROM THE SPACE KNIGHT'S robot head!
Awesome haul of bitz. Look forward to seeing your next build
Coming soon!
A broken cell phone or used up printer has great stuff to. The phones have these tiny screws and weird metal plates the boards are cool to. Printers they have like the vcr. Much much good stuff.
The purple thing is from the paper towel roll for those commercial dispensers. Being a janitor, i a have a ton of those. :P
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.
Good stuff!
@@ScratchBashing Also, glad to see that I'm not the only one that picks up stuff from outside.
Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
1:00 am hypnotized by some random dude showing a pile of trash. Nice.
Ooooh 🤤 lot’s of fun goodies, looking forward to see what you come up with.
I'm looking forward to that as well lol
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.
I am going to revisit them soon (very soon)
Great tutorial
Awww, I was sad when I got to the end but you didn't build anything lol.
Can't wait to see more builds
😀 sorry, I started doing that after this one
I subscribed. I’ve just started scratch/Kitbashing. This is really inspiring.
Welcome!
The airplane part is a tie rod they are on cars also. It's what angles your tires as you turn and holds half the rim on. If you ever hear a piping noise while turning its the tie rod about to come off. And if it does the front half tire comes free and will be at a 90 degree angle. I've done it going down highway it's umm exciting lol. In case anyone care figure I'd share a bit of info
Thanks and glad you're ok!
Tie rods have a threaded section to bolt to a wheel spindle. The items in the video are heim joints, used in a variety of applications however, often seen in suspension setups.
Love looking at your junk! Gives me alot if ideas. Plus I'm not heartbroken that I just threw away a VCR! Aargh!
Keep your eyes peeled for another one!
Oh haha yeah I have that motorcycle, the propellor and the orange thing fold so it can be a hovercraft or a motorbike
i need to get into this kinda stuff
Great choice of intro music sir!
I have those exact cartridge cases! Still trying to decide what to do with them
I scratch build a Ork Tank with cardboard and found a toy construction tractor across my side walk and took it home and used the tiny screws as rivets. Also primed it today planing to paint tomorrow.
Sounds cool! Always feels good to find something new.
Awesome vid! Any reason the circuit board from the vcr didn't make the cut?
The digital camera parts are awesome! If you collect enough similar parts you can build a digital camera!
Which brings me to my challenge. Take apart all of your models and build a functioning vcr. If you complete this challenge i will convince 3 of my friends to possibly subscribe to your channel. You have 9 hours starting... now.
I did it but then I took the VCR back apart for more bits ☹️
your first geen metal u found next to a home looks like something off a washing machine that hold the tub on the shaft
sweet, ya vcr's are surprisingly interesting inside lol
Those are spherical bearings used on flight control (push/pull) rods. As well as PC link ends on older aircrafts.
They are called heim joints. And used in all sorts of things outside of aircraft, most commonly in automotive racing.
Thats what I do I take apart old electronics just for all the different parts
Interesting, I use stripped down inkjet printers . Could I ask you any tips for 1/76 builds . Regards Fred
Hi Fred, I haven't worked in that scale yet, sorry!
Printers are great for plastic gears ! :D
What Brand of paint and Brushes you use
Set aircraft landing gear heim joint you're talking about they sell those for cars too we use them in our race cars just bigger versions and small versions for the shocks as well we use them in just about every suspension part in the race car like for a shocks and their top control arms and our rear trailing arms like our four links for a rear ends on our circle track cars those are very common they're called him joints
Hey you could turn that white out roller into a futuristic motorcycle.
Definitely! I am so happy with the interesting shape of that thing.
I'd like to see a tutorial on how to scratchbuild a robotic leg
The VCR Preserving Academy, are suing you as we speak. So do the S.D.N.R. (Soap Dispenser National Reserve)
If only my wife allowed me to keep all the junk I'd like to keep 😂😭
You need to find a good hiding spot
Do you collect textures as well? I have been dismantling VHS tapes and noticed that they have some pretty cool textures. I'm looking forward to making a simple mold to replicate those textures.
Yeah in my last video I used the textured shell of a VHS cassette to make a metal panel. They are pretty sweet!
@@ScratchBashing The cool thing is that once in awhile you find one that has a different texture. If you're like me, and I get the feeling you are, the mind swims through all the possibilities.
how do you degrease plastic parts? dawn or 91% IPA or both?
For gunky VCR bits: (A lot of)Dawn+toothbrush.
@@ScratchBashing ah thanks dude. thats what i did last night minus the toothbrush. took apart a few airsoft guns and said to myself, what did i get myself into...lol
Do.you make your own sculpting Tools
You ever done an admech bash?
not yet!
I got a lot of good materials from Old broken printer
"One man's trash"
But how will I watch my VHS!?
What do you mean a filter from a bag of coffee, where is the filter in a coffee bag?
It's glued on the inside of the bag behind the scent vent 😄
Well now, I be a 60 year old Grandfather who likes to make models for me Grand Children. I seldom discard anything... pisses off the Grandmother to be sure. I’ve totes upon totes of sheitt... wonderful wonderful sheitt.
Believe it or noh... I liked the two casin’ halves of the white out applicator the most... they be the upper portion of the cockpit of a sci-fi, high-speed spacecraft. I know these things... and many other of the like. Believe me... because I’m old.... and smart... I even once did a math problem... with nary a problem.
I’ll be watchin’ you.
🤔
Making something out of nothing man..... that's art baby
I love rubbish and crap
