  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Love your drop pod! I wish the imperial guard had drop pods, imagine the kasrkin acting like HALO’s ODST. Dropping all over 10 man squads behind enemy lines. I wonder if you could make that work in an army list. Can’t wait till the next video!

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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?

  10. 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. šŸ˜‚

  11. 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 šŸ˜‰

  12. 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.

  14. 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.
