- Star Wars Droids are iconic, and Kitbashing them is a perfect way to create your own version of these droids out of random parts around your house, craftroom, or shop!
Today we are also fortunate to be building droids with a whole group of friends from all over the globe. A special thanks to @Boylei for bringing this awesome group together! Make sure to head over to their channels and check out all the builds!

Truly, the hardest working, least appreciated droid in the galaxy.
Thank you! Great doing a collab with ya!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Bizarre coincidence - I'm watching Kathy's next! Didn't know you knew each other. 😉
Loved mr. sweeper! Totally looked like a droid from an eighties sci-fi B-movie!

Awesome!!!
Absolutely brilliant guys, kitbashing at it's finest :-)

It's amazing how much those juice caps look like rocket or jet exhausts. Both really neat builds.

Very star warsy!
And you just reminded me: I forgot to scratch in some panel lines!!!!
Thank you! Yeah, panel lines always helps. Yours turned out awesome! Great stuff!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Thanks but I always forget the panels! Would look even better.
Absolutely amazing builds from you both- and excellent job adding color to set outside your comfort zone; worth it!
Thank you!
Amazing use of all the scrap bits! Love this build!
PS. Your paint booth is amazing!!!!
Thank you! It was awesome working along side all of you!
Loved the kitbashed droid project! Reminded me of how much fun I've had kitbashing miniature figures and scenery for different games over the years. Another great video to watch over my morning coffee. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well, that was completely satisfying. Such inspiration
Awesome! Thank you for the kind words!
I just love UA-cam wisdom. I get your notifications a day to two days later. Good thing I didn't miss an episode of apprentice to The Junk Yard Jedi. You all rule! ❤️🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓 (bacon treats)
Dang it UA-cam! Glad you still got notified!
I just watch the build on Rebel Base Build ... loved the build by James and this too!!! I have never done a miniature, but this makes me want to do one!!!
Thanks man, it's a lot of fun. Very, very addicting!

I like watching you and your wife make models from star wars you and your are the model king and queen of models I watch all of your videos think you and your wife for making the vedios I learn a hole lot have a nice day be safe
Wow, thank you very much! We really appreciate it.
I love kitbashing, great job guys!!! These look amazing!!!
Thanks Bro!!!
That came out so cool!
I built a droid just a couple days ago out of an old pc mouse. I also went with a gray and orange scheme.
I broke down two broken printers and found a bunch of greeblies lol!
Thanks for the inspiration!
I dont know how I missed this video but I did! While I love Mr. Sweeper. I really love that little cart! Must be the R2 head and those killer arms. Oh and the beer! LOL Cheers!
Once again fantastic video. By the way the quality of the way you filmed the videos if people knew how much time and energy that took would blow them away.
Everything is so clean and precise. Very inspiring has bro has nothing on you man. I love that you teamed up with your wife you To our fantastic together. Definitely a match made in heaven God designed.😊😇🤗. Can't wait for many more videos!!!😜🤪🥰
Thank you so much!!
Looks like you guys had great fun, nice droids, they came out great :)
Thank you 🤗
Oh my gosh! I had an idea for kitbashing using the exact same screw container! Great video, keep up the good work!
Awesome!
Fabulous!
Thank you!
Good look!
much appreciated!
Fantastic looking dirty droids. I love the sweeper droid with its rich color and Mrs Sweeper label. The detailed painting of the anti-grav droid really brings it to life. I really hope the Bantha Beer doesn’t get any of its ingredients from Banthas
Thank you! They were a lot of fun to make.
Your videos make me so happy! Dr. toys droid is my fav. The other day i made an X-wing model and did some precise painting on it. I ended up overlapping on all of my paint lines, I guess I still have some practicing to do.
So glad we bring you joy! Thank you for the kind words.
hello chubby geek... you had me giggling a lot through this video. Of course, it started with the "wanna get dirty" to start it. Love what you do, and enjoy watching. Not to mention the ideas. Thank you
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it
SO cool
I have to make this too!!!
Please do!
this was fun to watch
Awesome, thank you!
This is awesome... and these are definitely the droids I'm looking for! Good work!
Also, that intro was something else.
LOL!!! Thank you!!
Where's the Juice cap? Oh! there it is... Man, I thought there was not going to be one... WoW! Stress level is lower now.... :-P
Wow what cool builds you all did! Could not pick a favorite but I am going to call them all WINNERS!
Brian, I have two huge box's with model car/truck/whatever sprues and I never through any away. Like you said they are just as useful as the parts they hold... Lol
Congrats to all the builders!
Thanks for the video you two!
LLAP
Thank you Bruce!! Glad we got that lid in there for ya! Appreciate you watching!
Great video! I actually found your site a long time ago, when looking for model making videos. I followed a couple rabbit holes, and now I'm hooked.
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
you call yourself geeks but i think you are geniuses . . . love the video !
Thank You!!!
Ready for Part 2 of Rancor pit.
Don't worry my friend, it's coming next week!
Man, that delivery droid is really dirty…
… and come to think of it,
that dirt-sweeping droid is really clean! 😅😅😅
😅
@@TheSmugglersRoom I was just thinking about the cleaning droid, when you replied.
Wow great job! I love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a satisfying video
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Great work.
Many many thanks
Brian: "Wanna do something absolutely dirty?"
Me: Hey wait what site am I streaming right now, I thought I closed that tab?!
LOL!!!!!
really great!
Thank you!
A really great and fun build. I think the sweeper looks related to Mo from Wall-e I thing the Phat bantha delivery droid should be a part of galaxy's edge.
Thanks Wayne! That was totally Carissa’s inspiration
Fantastic build guys and it looks like you have loads of fun making videos together. Love it! Subbed 😎👍
Thanks so much! Welcome!!
Best video in quite a while. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Everyone: let’s kit-bash some droids!
North of the border: So anyway, I started sculpting!
Right??? He did an amazing job on that too!! Wow
Always enjoy your vids.
Thank you
Of all the challenge vids, your droids were the most ‘out of the box’ of all of them. That’s a compliment for any viewers who didn’t get the reference.
Ironic you'd use the PL5000 arms while watching Aliens. Nice one team, simple but effective builds
Thank you! Wondered if anyone would notice that.
Nice!
Thanks!
los amo!!!!!
looks great :D
Thank you
At first I was wondering what I got myself into. Then thought Let's do something dirty.
🤣
Brian's droid feels kind of conceptually connected to some droids seen on The Mandalorian, where they use astromechs and/or astromech components for specific working purposes.
Thank you!
GENIUS. Love the droids. Love the music. Love the edits and your production. The cuts are smooth and not quick jumpy. Love the music.
Love how you guys have so much fun.
Love your chanell . Got a new subscriber here!!!!. Now one thing. How do i get some fat bantha beer?
Thank you so much!
very cool!!!
Thank you!
@@TheSmugglersRoom I love the little touches with the LED's, really brings things to life in a way!
Jeremy from Black Magic Craft has a video with great tips for those of us with shaky hands.
Yes he does, love his channel!
Reminds of last episode of sesion one of the mandolonon
cool
I like tiny modelling thanks, I mean 1/72
Brian what has been your favourite project you worked on so far and what is your favourite star wars film ?
My favorite project so far has been Chucky in Carbonite. My favorite film has always been Empire Strikes Back, but I have to tell you that Rogue One is so close!!
Wonderful work! Can you tell me where you get the styrene because I dont find any. Maybe I dont have the good name for searching ?!?
Great job, Fat Bantha needs to be mentioned in The Mandalorian lol.
Where is the nibbler link?
Awesome! Thank you!
How in the world were you able to get your Cricut to cut such small letters?
Is that droid the same scale as the rancor? I bet that big guy is thirsty.
He is actually!
Brian where can I get my hands on that “nibbler” that you used to notch styrene?
Sorry, totally forgot the link: www.amazon.com/ProsKit-900-215-Nibbler/dp/B000BN60XW/ref=sr_1_8?crid=2QQPV8BVWS5R8&dchild=1&keywords=nibbler&qid=1630944263&sprefix=nibbler%2Caps%2C211&sr=8-8
Where did the nibbler come from?

@@TheSmugglersRoom thank you so much :)
I have a bunch of cell phone cases if you want.
Thank you, i appreciate it. Sadly I am totally out of space to store anything. Carissa says I have to use up what I have first! LOL
@@TheSmugglersRoom yeah landlords wife said not to bring anything to her husband anymore. Have hundreds of new in package cases. Oh well.
Burnt umber? You must watch SKS Props a lot? Lol
Indeed!
May I use your design in a Star Wars themed mobility scooter I want to build? I have been looking for a design with an R2 unit in the front to make it look like it’s controlling my scooter. I recently lost my leg to diabetes and I wanted to find a way to get around conferences and other Star Wars events.
Of course Justin. Can’t wait to see what you build!
@@TheSmugglersRoom thank you, I appreciate it.
This my Idea for Boyle hobby time doild
Story idea a rebel not like crash on Dagobah but as there was no sign of teachongy he became weaker and weaker so used bits of Y Wing and other doild parts he made arms and legs his staff is the KX5 of the Y Wing he has sent many calls for help he evenaty fould a robe of dead Jedi inside a hut he wears as a cape now still holding hope someone will save him
Gg
When I saw the plastic tank top my heart dropped. I am person who collects plastic military stuff. Although this was definitely cooler then what that tank could ever be it still makes my heart skip
Sorry about that. Between model parts and vintage cameras, there are always folks like yourself that we make cringe when we do this sort of thing. Hope you enjoyed anyway ;)
