- And now for something a little different, geeks! Today we'll be pimping out the Jakks pacific R2-D2 figure with a steampunk/ rustic inspired finish.
Enjoy!
That trick you did at 17:00 proves how much of a genius you are. Chris you seriously need to get into the movie industry, you could make props professionally no problem.
what trick?
Golden Assassin i hate you
He needs a top hat
I'm floored by how awesome this came out. Such a cool idea!
Jaw dropping detail as always...... hell of a job Chris......
Thanks Alan.
Amazing transformation of such a beloved hero! Your work is outstanding. Not just from a surface level but the storytelling aspect of these kinds of projects is creative and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing your work. Great job mate!
Lovely idea of the pocket watch too! Who's the artist? Maybe a mention of the artist in the description. Cool inspirational piece!
Warner thanks mate for your kind words...All the best.
Chris, this is Bloody awesome!! R2-D2 looks great. that rust and patina spray is a great idea
Chris you are just nuts. How are you not working in Hollywood?
Hey Sam the man I'm trying.
Cosplay Chris don't move to Hollywood stay in Australia
Wow Chris! Top notch..good way to think outside the box! Very nice indeed.
Thanks Shannon...
This is bad ass!! You are inspiring me to do some stuff like this for my significant nerd (aka my husband)
Love this, now I'll try it out on my 3' 1996 Talking R2D2 (purchased a second time since '98) 1st one stolen.
WOW! Great job Chris! Love your videos, please keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the support Tim......All the best mate.
Try frog tape when you want to paint a part of the item. From what I've heard, it won't leave a sticky residue and it comes off clean.
i have never seen a channel so creative with great ideas good on u chris
Thanks Star...appreciate your support.
Chris this was my one of if not my favorite custom collectible love the imagination, and this one was extra special because you went above and beyond with the creativity, steam punk R2 came out great, keep up the great work!
Thanks Dan.
awesome work yet again mate. i love watching the stuff you go.
always picking up amazing tips from your videos.
When I first started watching I thought this was going to be too goofy to be cool, but it's amazing. And apart from the monocle, I can see a Star Wars story set 1,000+ years after the original trilogy where an R2-D2 like this would make sense. Great work, yet again!
One of the best takes on R2-D2. Love it!
Omg Chris, these custom collectibles just keep getting better and better! this R2D2 looks so badass!
Thanks Sam...really appreciate your support.
Wow that steampunk R2 is awesome! You have an amazing talent, along with an awesome imagination!
It's amazing how much creativity this Guy has! Keep making these AWESOME vids!
You honestly have no idea how excited I get when I see one of these in my subscriptions 💖
Thanks Josean...All the best.
A fan all the way from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷💖 haha
You truly know your crafting and you're even an artist at it!
I love all of the toy and prop customizations you do! Keep them coming! I've actually learned a lot from watching you and tried out some of the techniques you use. Great stuff!
Not a steam punk fan but I am a fan of your work. Well executed, looks superb!
I love checking my subscription box and seeing these
York Altanin 👍

This is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris you are a bloody genius!!!!!!
Congrats man!! Pure professionalism 👍🏻👍🏻
Epic thanks man....all the best.
Love the wacky wierd concept of r2 d2. Keep up the great work Chris 😁😁
probably my favorite collectable you've made so far!
As always outstanding work man. This has got to be by far my favourite custom collectibles you've done 👏👏👌👌👌. true inspiration man! as always keep it up!
Thanks for the support Lee. All the best.
I'd like to see another one of these but maybe a slightly battle damaged custom astromech that we haven't seen before like what one you'd get if they real things
You sir, are a genius! Make sure you get crowned as King of the Geeks 😀
Hahahahaha thanks mate.
This is so~oh A!W!E!S!O!M!E!
Great production , spectacular result !
Wow the details on this are fantastic!
The monocle was genius!
Hey Chris you should make a custom collectables playlist. it would be way easier to find vids!
Will Yates agreed
Will Yates ive had to make one of my own. but yh it would be great
Yes please
DerBeff it happened
Incredible! very good!
Wow I was actually looking for a paint that does this effect. Looks very cool!!! Keep it up
HOLY SHIT! This is absolutely awesome. Great work dude. This is your best one yet!
Thanks Chuck...All the best mate.
Most of your Custom stuff is badass but this one I think is actually beautiful! Keep up the good work and loving the podcast too!
Do a Custom Collectible on the Star-Lord Nerf Blasters from Guardians of the Galaxy! The sculpt is definetly there, but they don't look movie accurate at all.
PowerPro yeah awesome idea!
PowerPro yes he should
Excellent idea.
PowerPro That would be awesome
Yeah chris do that
Masterful job!
Cheers Ryan...Thanks.
I thought the Storm trooper helmet you did was the best thing ever-....turns out this is the best thing I've seen- amazing
Bender...great shirt and awesome work as always.
Another great job mate. And now inspired with more great ideas, I'm off to the shops...Again.
Hahaha......Thanks Thommo.
Probably my favourite custom collectable video
Thanks Finlay......Cheers mate.
the stuff you do is absolutely amazing! I've never done anything like this before but I really want to try it, thanks for inspiring me! keep up the great work
Da give it a go...Good luck.
VERY nice! The only thing missing was the stovepipe hat!
Another amazing piece Chris but I feel like you missed the opportunity to create tracks in the desert.
really sweet work ! I am curious if you ever considered using bondo to fill and smooth over some of the plastic casting seams and screw holes on the models ?? Not a huge concern i'm sure but it would add to the overall appearance to your finished work :D
I just recently learned those leather rivets and technique from Adam Savage's Chewie bandolier! damn good stuff
I love what you do Chris, And I take example on you to create my customization.
you do just a great job man!
Thanks for all this videos
Thanks Fred......all the best man.
Thank you chris !!!
I didn't even know clear primer was a thing. That's pretty awesome.
do you think you could make a steampunk Darth Vader?
Mc Lovin yes, that would be awesome
Your a Jenius!!!!!!!!!
"Jenius"

Thanks Andrew.....All the best.

hey Chris, i was playing Gears Of War 4 recently and just realized that you look exactly like the main character JD and i think you should do a cosplay of him! only if you want to but i think that would look awesome!

Should do a steampunk CP-3O

every-damn-time everytime you amaze me more and more Chris. You deserve so much more attention then you are already getting. Please keep amazing us, keep us say "wow how did he come up with that?!" Keep "doing it best"
cheers
Hey Christiaan thanks for the support - All the best.
Cosplay Chris Chris can you please tell me the name of the song at 20:08
I love this kind of sci-fi stuff please do more !
Awesome work! I love steam punk. One idea though, since R2 had been driving, you may want to add some tracks in the sand.
While I am not a fan of the whole "steampunk" thing... I think this is awesome and very educational in many ways when it comes to how to apply various finishes.
Too good! You kill it every time, Chris :D
Awesome! An amazing job Chris!
love your work man any recommendations on painting texture fabric like adding a batflek texture on to a bodysuit
My word, that's incredible! One of my favourite custom collectibles to date for sure. :P
amazing job as per usual man
the r2 d2 looks AWSOME
Fantastic job!
I always thought that a Viking darth vader would be so cool, and wacky. Just imagine Vader with like a wooky fur cape, and an empire symbol shield.
We all know you got your hands full Chris with some amazing stuff, but that would be so amazing to see in the future, especially from you.
Can you do something related to krennic? Or the death troopers
u have big talent !!
Wow it looks amazing
Diggin' your wallpaper Chris! XD
hi Chris yet another amazing video and just love what you did with r2 😄😄😄
Thanks Phil.
Masterpiece.
I'm crying here.
Absolutely incredible!
Thanks Sam.
That looks awesome
Thanks Jake.
Nice job 👍
I love the vid and the bot good job 😊
nice! looks great!
I've seen a lot of your vids and i'm constantly amazed at how creative you are.. I am in awe man, goes to show that you don't need to spend hundreds of £'s / $'s to make something look so amazing and yet so unique. A true genius if ever there was one... Have fun, be silly and of course... Cosplayers do it best :)
17:00 WOW! that was so clever :0
Brave move on that model it's not cheap! ! Really cool idea and looks great totally steam punked
R2D2 at the last of his days, trying to survive.
Bravo Chris !
You don't know how much I want one!
I also think it would be coo, if you did a custom collectibles WALL-E on a waste-land base
Never been this early, great work chris
Thanks Bill.
Nice profile pic bro
Looks fantastic :)
I'm gonna be at Supernova on Saturday - hopefully I can meet you but sad I'll miss seeing your amazing Pirate Batman on Sunday :(
