Excited to see how the new terrain gets painted up in a future video!
I see your Drop Pod and raise you an SoB Rhino. That thing broke me.
I might do what I always wanted to do and have a drop pod army. I never picked up any since they didn't carry primaris marines in the beginning
Not got one want one now gonna get one NOW. Very impressive jay brilliant job šš
i don't feel like i experience long dry times with the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement Glue, it seems like most things stick right away and don't move again for me. I've never been a big fan of superglue on plastic models, but your work is very good so i'd never suggest you to change what you're doing. It clearly works for you. Great build, i've always thought drop pods were kinda cool but i'm not a Space Marine collector / player.
I completely disassembled one because I want to add leds in it
That was a mistake
Heyyyyy, I just got my drop pod a week or two ago too! Was gonna make it light up and everything too
Not all glues are equal. Your statement that superglue sets faster than plastic glue is simply not true as a blanket statement. I have plastic glues that set almost instantly without activators and superglues that take 15mins under clamps to set.
Wow, that end result is looking amazingly industialy gritty!
Here's the problem, you used the instructions point for point. Drop pods you can't really follow them. By my 3rd, I had the build down perfect, but you absolutely can not build that thing in order or like yours. The doors, etc, won't fit properly.
Too much weathering? It fell from orbit!
I hate to be that guy but my drop pod doors are fine out of the box, yeah that engine is horrible but IMO itās a good kit
Love your drop pod! I wish the imperial guard had drop pods, imagine the kasrkin acting like HALOās ODST. Dropping all over 10 man squads behind enemy lines. I wonder if you could make that work in an army list. Canāt wait till the next video!
Cant take the emperor's champion if you have a 10 man squad. Drop Pods only carry 10 marines.
The highlight of my teenage hobby years, perfectly building a drop pod that still holds up more than 12 years later!
Seeing models like this are why i haven't gotten into models. I would absolutely love to take the time to build armys but with how shitty most models are built for their price is staggering. Not to mention most of their models are as old as me. I wanted to build a lizardman army as it was the race that got me into warhammer and then into 40k and cant believe the models that are there they look god awful. And that drop pod, you shouldn't have to sand shit to get it to fit right with its own kit.
Rubber bands are your friend for this kit. 1000%
Idk why you blur out the picture. Itās obviously a drop pod
Idk how I feel about the rust for the weathering. I see them mostly as 1 time use. I know that there is some small details about the imperium reusing drop pods but doesn't really seem smart to send high quality troops in a rust bucket
Jay I think you should stop with the bad click bait thumbnails
I straight-up snipped off the seatbelt to wing connections, then glued all the wings to the propeller thing before just fitting it to the petal. The doors were much better off that way I found.
I work with rust everyday, if you donāt kee up with it, it gets bad quick
Hang on hold the damn phone! Jay you glossed over the new patreon terrain like it was nothing! HOW could you possible not have more to say? "Well you do." When you gonna show that stuff off for real in a new board?
Glue it shut so you don't need to worry. That's what I'd do
Inn the long time ago days (which was a Wednesday) we had both resin ones and CNC routed MDF versions of drop pods here in Australia. Then GW cease and deceased everyone because they FINALLY released this nonsense kit which looked nothing like anyone else's but hey lawyer's got to lawyer and GW got to defend their property they hadn't been making a model for since the Epic days. š
I love the blur on the thumbnail. Its a droppod lol
Drop pods should do damage if they land near enemy minis. This is a hill ill die on
I play orks but Iām thinking about eventually getting one of these and painting it with some salamander space marines for room decor
You've never built a Fireraptor I take it…
I payed extra just to have them delivered already build it to me
Perfect amount of weathering
I have just started mine, and it really is a nightmare…. the doors do go up and down just fine, but scrape up the paint on the floors.
Arrow in the thumbnail should be pointing at you not the model Jay. š
As a proud (and frustrated) owner of 3 drop pods, I approve. Well done.
Okay okay okay, Jay. Ya got me. [signs up for Patreon]
Enjoy the drop pod before GW nuke it in the new codex š
I buy mine second hand and built, so I dont have to bother haha
Drop pods are so cool especially yours the weathering is nice. Do you think they would work well with salamanders?
Real talk though, drop it in and then charge the opponent with the drop pod. Nothing can stop you.
Thanks for the Video, I really appreciate your work! Just wanted to ask if and when you will try out "grimdark-future" from one-page-rules. I switched to that system, because I think it is more accesable, yet very tactical, because of the alternating activations. I would love to hear your thoughts about it! Thanks š
Interscessors are sexier than a drop pod? You mean the basic primaris boys you should never have to buy separetelee cause they come in every single box deal.
GIRTH
Iām sorry, the Space Wolves and the Blood Angels want to have a word with you about what said about the Black Templars being the close combat army.
I found the Ork Stompa to be much worse
i remember that first video, back when you were doing bases. loved those vids hahah
If you think that was a pain to build, do one of the original Forgeworld kits! I have both the Marine pod and the Dread pod with a Deathstorm waiting to be built. A lot of trimming and hole filling, parts to be re-aligned, all the fun stuff from forge world kits!! Being a collector/painter only, (only ever played 1 game) I'm glad to have them but would never do another, though I will have to have a go at the plastic version at some time.
well looks ok to me me i have do ALL time have put scotch marks on it yes my pods look as gon threw the frichen of going the the rentray as drop from space you got be cafel with bit you need a lighter or a candel you scotch the paint on model with the end of flame do not melt the platic j just litly mack streaks at bottom of the pod if look at old pic of capsel re coverd or see em in musems you see the scotch heat shild and same goes to the pod see the nest vid
9:07 How do AI put this… It looks worse off then most gate gaudains and out door museum aircraft like it looks straight from the junk yard very orky not space mariny… Like I would suggest look at picture of space shuttle orbitors, Falcon 9 first stages, capsules that have gone to space and back dozens of times you notice their more black then rusted.
Mine splits into pieces all the time. I need to use the sprue-glue stuff I think.
