Thats real model making, scratchbuilding and kitbashing man.
James made the hottest speeder for sure.
Thank you!!
Thank you! 👊
These are all amazing builds, really enjoyed taking part!! Thanks guys and well done all.
Thank you bro! So glad you jumped in. Love your build!
I was a part of the build and had a great time! Thanks guys! That being said ... still think James gets Best Overall! I liked Whitey's Material and I vote the Bugrunner for the backstory! Thanks again Brian and Carissa ... it was a lot of fun!
Thank you Shawn! Really appreciate you being a part of it!
Couldn’t agree more with the possible exception that I also LOVED Dennis’ “Coruscant Graffiti” build. What a visual looks like it jumped out of an old Lucas film….oh…wait.
@@sketchyguynv I know ... I was thinking the same thing! So hard to pick!
Because of this channel, I kitbashed my very own piece just the other day. After a lot of frustration, catching the Rona, and having to start all over once, I turned a Spartan V model into a Destiny 2 Titan/Anthem Storm type thing. I personally think it looks super cool.
That’s awesome! Hope the kitbashing helped with the Rona!
Jeepers Creepers, these are fantastic! And yours came out great as usual, Brian! I had a lot of fun with this challenge, my first kitbash (I'm #6, the Bug-Runner), and it's given me the itch to build more. Congrats to everyone who joined in, you should all be proud!
Thank you so much for joining in! When I read your description of why it was called the “big runner” I was dying! So hilarious! Great job!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Thanks!
James from Rebel base Build. But honestly I would have voted for yours in the end after thinking about it. Everyone did outstanding but James and yours are the stand outs for sure.
Much appreciated, everyone did an awesome job!
I know this is a year late but I just wanted to thank you for not including garbage, trash or junk in the title of this build. I feel it diminishes the art of scratch building especially when it comes to sci-fi. I’m glad you mentioned that you go to the store to get items, I find that cruising through the hardware store the craft store and even the dollar store provides inspiration for future scratch builds. Thanks again and nice work
you bet Frank! I agree with you. Scratch building is an art form!
I totally can't judge. They are amazing & inspirational. I will never look at my plastic junk the same.
That's the idea! Can't wait to see what you build!
Brian, this was great fun to watch - and the other makers joining in added to this.
I think your backstory (ha ha, a man after my own heart!), the many details, and the unique maple base,
are highlights of this scratch-build.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
I like that Apache/Vett kit bash, seeing Han and Leia made me think of American Graffiti but calling it Alderaan Graffiti
Also love that one!
Totally!!!!
I loved all of them but Wayne Bakken for the cardboard one cause that was amazing.
Wonderful Lisa! Thank yoU!
ty
Shout out to all the builders for doing a great job with their builds! I cannot wait until the next video Brian!
Thank you Robert!!
Tom's Bug Runner had the best story! And I think James' jawa speeder was best overall!
:)
Love it! Thank you!
I actually really like the Yoda speeder, it may be a little thought but it's 100% scratch built from recycled bits and it shows room for improvement, I hope they continue to model
Very inspirational. As a 3.75 inch action figure collector, scratch building things to broaden that world building aspect is great. Would love to see a large diorama as you hinted at in the 3.75 scale
Awesome Brandon! So glad to hear you like it. We have big plans!
This is an impressive community. Can’t wait to watch all of the individual builds. As for my rankings:
Most creative back story: Tom Hill Jr.’s Bug Runner
Most creative use of materials: Shawn Cash’s Rang Trooper Speeder
Favorite overall speeder: James’ Sand Searcher Jawa Speeder
Thank you!!
Total honesty. A junk collector, flying in a junk-made ship, filled with junk to trade for more junk is my space adventure/TTRPG character dream
Right??
What a heap of junk! I love it.
Great video and build Brian. Your speeder feels very in universe, like a B-Wing or a speeder from movie 8. My thought is that your engine intakes make the speeder look like it is flying backwards - at least from a certain point of view. The base and scene really work for it and if we could vote for your project I would give it second place, narrowly beaten out by the Jawa speeder.
This sort of collaboration is a great thing and I hope to see many more fantastic projects and videos from you.
Awesome, thanks
Great fun, Brian. I totally loved all of the builds and the brilliant minds behind them. James from RBB has my vote, however I would be remiss if I didn't tip my hat to Thomas for his Mando Hoth speeder build. Oh, and yours was rad too. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
Thank you!
Great stuff! Reminds me of all the hours spent scratchbuilding and kitbashing with anything we could get our hands on for Gorkamorka trukks or hordes of 40K orks. Always fun building projects out of whatever minis, models, and random bits are laying around. Kudos to all who contributed to this one.
Sounds awesome! Bet you had a blast! Thanks for watching
I recently bought a 1/6 speeder that I planned to work on restoring and this video really inspired me. Thanks so much for sharing, it was great seeing all the other builds as well 👍🏻👍🏻
What you did here is pretty much EXACTLY What the Original Modelers did in the first Star Wars movies! THIS is what's SO FREAKIN' FUN about Model building!
Take Different Kits and "Greeblies" and building something that COULD {or SHOULD?!} Exist in the Star Wars Universe! :D
Thanks! That was the inspiration for sure. Love how all those pioneers of kitbashing created those original designs.
Props to everyone, they were all awesome. As for the voting criteria, my votes are as follows:
1 Most Creative Back Story is The Bug Runner
2. Most Creative use of Material is Wayne Bakken
3. Favorite Overall is the Jawa Speeder by James......Like so much of what he does...its totally next level...even when he says its first time ever doing it.
👊👊 wow thank you!
Thank you!!!
I vote for all the speeder .They aren't all Awesome!😯💥👏🏿👏🏿😁😎👍🏿
Much appreciated!!!
Meant to say all areas Awesome!😁
James FTW, awesome Jawa Speeder!
Thank you
James from the Rebel Base Build wins on all 3 counts in my book. Wish I could have taken part. But I'm can't spare money for stuff like Patreon.
Great! I will let James know. Thanks
Fun kit bashing. My favorite was 5 Shawn from Try to finish something followed closely by James from thereby base build.
Also loved his speeder, great paint job
Wonderful! Both are great choices!
There all so great.. It's hard to pick just one... The Jawa speeder is my fave!
Hmmm….I’m not sure where my vote went. So, let’s try this again……
1: Most Creative Back Story. My vote goes out to The Nerdy Maker for his Z77 Super Skiff. Sounds like a story line you’d see in an Extended Edition, or Directors Cut, BluRay release of ANH or ESB.
2: Most Creative Use of Materials. I’m a bit torn here. First off, Wayne Bakken’s conversion of a Cheerios box into Grogu’s new speeder is brilliant. Pretty certain I would not have come up with that approach. Second off, Thomas Marchese’s speeder uses styrene, foam, model parts, and more to make a really cool looking scratch build. I really love the workings under the exposed panels. I think Thomas just edges out Wayne here.
3: My Favorite Overall Speeder has to go to James’ (Rebel Base Build) Sand Searcher. Great back story, amazing scenery, Jawas, and overall build quality. I was completely sold when I saw the sub-miniature greeblies (control panel, droid socket, crates, and more). Brilliant job James.
I’m kind of glad, and sad, that Boylei Hobby Time didn’t take part in this challenge. I’m sure he’d have blown everyone out of the water. But I would love to have seen what awesomeness came off his cutting mat.
That and I was excited to see Brian break out the guitar strings.
Thank you Deanna! Love your review! Much appreciated
Thank you! - great that you picked up on those small details :)
I agree with Deanna
Great episode! Love that you’re inspiring the community as well as involving and showcasing others. It’d be kinda interesting to go a build off of sorts every so often to see how the community improves, changes, and grows. Top notch!
Thanks Drew! Yes indeed. We plan to do this more.
So many amazing builds. I guess I have pick my top 3.
Tom Hill with the "Bug Runner " great back story
Nerdy maker for best use of materials.
My favorite out of all of the builds- Dennis (black market outpost) build with the Corvette amazing job for sure.
Definitely awesome work all around.
Not often that you get on UA-cam and find EXACTLY what you’re looking for! Been working on a Star Wars speeder Taxi for the last week!
Fantastic! So glad you found it!
All were amazing but I'd have to say David's Snowtrooper speeder was the best overall!
Thank you!
I think that's me right? :) Thanks so much El
Loved this video. And I loved how you worked in a juice bottle lid. I originally found your site about a year ago while looking for greeblie information for my 1:12 scale action figure builds. Even though you were full-size props, I subscribed after watching your greeblie info video. It was that good. Now the circle is complete. Full-size and miniature, best of both.
Thank you so much! I think you are going to live what we have planned for 2022!
Excellent work Brian!!! WOW!!! Love this video...Great work from all the builders featured!!!
Thank you bro
The inspired imagination, resourcefulness, out of the box thinking, and truly amazing artwork combined create a world Lucas would be proud of. Top notch work. You all make me very jealous.
Thank you so much for those kind words!!!
Brian, dude, everyone did great jobs on those speeders.
Thank you!!!
Brian, after rewatching the show. Since your build is off the table. I have to say James' build was the winner. It was definitely a hard call because everyone did excellent work. Bravo to everyone.
Thanks Chris! It was awesome fun!
James, build was my favorite. I loved the use of the coffee containers and Jawas.
Awesome, thank you Roger
All great builds!! James’ Jawa display is my favorite! Awesome video and great inspiration!! Thanks Brian! I’ll especially keep in my the guitar strings when I make one! Plenty of those lying around! Haha
Thanks Tony!
Thank you buddy!
I love your scale model stuff. So glad you are doing more of it and including other creators. Now I have more channels to follow.
Whooohoo!!! Thank you
I really love these kind of videos. Scale builds are amazing and not easy to do... for some. All the builds are fantastic since everyone has their particular touch in them. But I must say that my favorite over all (outside of yours) is Sand Searcher Jawa Speeder by James. You can tell he's into details and that's what I like. The details that make the builds look more realistic. Bryan, thanks for presenting us with such compilation of talents.
Too kind, thanks! Yup love the details! 👊
Thanks so much!!!
Great work by all in this video. That's my kind of model-making! Just a bit of constructive criticism, and I only mention it because it's so unusual, but this video suffers from some serious depth of field issues, Brian.
There’s only one winner and that’s James, because overall he’s demonstrated a clear understanding of design.
Thank you.
I like the Jawas sandspeeder is the best the Jawas are my favorite characters in starwars
All this models are amazing but I like very much the number 8 made by James from the ' rebel base built " .
Thanks you Brian to show all the wonderful items made by this other makers fans of the Starwars univers
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching!
I love the build! By the way those citadel paints are just fancy washes. All you need to do is thin down regular paint and you get the exact same effect for a fraction of the cost.
I’m glad you mentioned your larger tools and how you use big construction style fixings lol. I was surprised when I saw them. I was thinking….hmmmm my drill is the same…. And I use those screws and bolts lol. I’m also a big dumb giant. But I want to scratch build a speeder! I’m so inspired!
So glad you are inspired to try it! Can't wait to see what you do!
Fantastic episode I am so happy you gave use an opportunity to join you in the amazing kitbash challenge!!
So glad you joined us bud.
8. Love the character in not just the vehicle, but in the Jawas as well. Excellent craftsmanship.
awesome!
Very original. Like it!
Thank you! Cheers!
James wins for all 3 categories with his Jawa speeder.
Thanks Scott
All great builds! Hard to pick just one. All the stories are amazing and very creative. It’s an all around tie. Good job to all.
Thank you Jason!
Thanks Jason!
8. James from the Rebel Base Build. Builder of the Sand Searcher Jawa Speeder - for 3 Favourite overall speeder.
Thank you very much - was a fun build and so many great entires!
Awesome, Thank you!
It is hard to choose when everyone put out a great build! But overall I chose number 8, due to the detail and paint job. Besides the Jawa story was a departure from any of the others. Yes more miniatures to be sure! Your cargo hauler actually wound up wicked looking! The wood base was a bit of a letdown, but I’m figuring you will eventually trade it out for something “other worldly”. Great video!
Thank you!! Yeah the wood base is just temporary. . . Trust me 😉
LOVE THIS!! My vote would have to go to the Jawa speeder! Very cool!! Great episode!
Thank you!
This is one awesome and detailed build Brian! Don't hesitate to build small scale Models. Your Ideas for them are so cool.
Thank you very much!!!
I'm so jumping in on the next Kitbash Build!!!
Can’t wait bro!
Fantastic builds from everyone! I gotta say if I have to pick a favorite I’d say James’ is the one that I liked most, it reminds me of something you’d see model makers do back in the 80s and 90s for movie miniatures… it just gave me that vibe, nicely done!
Wow what an awesome comment, given that I totally LOVE that era of movie making that means a lot, thanks! But totally agree some amazing inspiring builds!
@@RebelBaseBuilds I love how you used a tank hull and then added tank parts to everything it was just such a cool build! I also subbed to your channel!
Thank you!! James did a great job for sure!
@@LeoNelBuilds thank you!
All of these speeders are incredible!!!! Rebel Base Build was my favorite!!!
Awesome. Thank you!
@@TheSmugglersRoom you are welcome!
Thanks Cerise! It was great fun!
@@WhiteysWickedWorkshop you are welcome!!!
Rebel base build for #3.
Pretty slick and you can never go wrong with live edge maple.
Thank you Philip!
Pretty darn cool, awesome job everyone!
Thank you!
Well, since you're excluded LOL, My vote is for James' Sand Searcher Jawa Speeder. I was just floored by that design. But everyone's was brilliant.
wow thanks!
Thank you Jason!
Thanks Jason!
So hard to choose. Reminds me of the stuff I made as a kid. I made a pod racer out if kleenex boxes for my figures.
Totally!! Thanks for watching
Great build Brian. Check out the Trumeter 1/16 tank kits they are a bit pricey but some have interiors-lots of great greeblies! Also Tamiya 1/12 scale motorcycle and formula 1 kits are great for greeblies a staple of the old ILM model shop. I have got to mention Empire Toy Works for some great action figure dioramas, I wish I had the room he has. Again GREAT JOB!!
I think my favorite is the Jawa Speeder, good use of parts and the diorama display takes it over the top.
Wonderful! Thank you!
My vote is for James from the Rebel Base Build.
Thank you!
Thank you!
"I guess some kids never grow up, and I'm pretty thankful for that." In Art School it is taught "The creative adult is the child who survived."
I'm glad we have never grown up!!!
Finally a Rigid drill in a video ! They are so tough !
They are the best!
love the grown person who plays with toys and not giving a phuk
Excellent kitbashing Brian, and I love the concept, couldn't have done it better myself :-)
Thank you!!!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Do have to say James' Jawa Speeder looks legit
Awesome!
There's one prop I'd like to see you tackle: The Camtono. Functional, or display only. I can't be the only one who has an old, broken Hamilton Beach Ice Cream maker, just waiting to be turned into a container!
you and me both! I have an old Ice Cream Maker in the shop. It's not the Hamilton Beach unit, but I stare at it every day. One day I will get the courage to take it on.
Great minds thing alike Brian - as soon as I started watching I basically had your speeder as an idea in my mind.
Whooohoo!!
@@TheSmugglersRoom I’ll see if I can’t make my own rendition and send it via discord/twitter.
they are all great builds but James from the Rebel Base Build. Builder of the Sand Searcher Jawa Speeder is my fav
Thank you!
Thanks Xak!
#8 was pretty cool
Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you
I really like Wayne's build. Save those cereal boxes and add some model kit bits box to make something out of nothing.
Right??? Such a cheap and great resource!
1st David 👍🏽and a very close 2nd James
Rebel base build definitely 👏👏 great video smugglers room loved it from the UK
Thank you!!!
All of these were amazing. That being said my votes go to:
Back story: Bug Runner
Best material use : z77 superskiff
Best overall: Jawa Sand Searcher.
Great job everyone!
Great builds, all of them, thank you!
My overall favourite is the last one in the video
AND... IF You have one of the Star Wars "Speeder" TOYS... You can use THAT as Reference for building Vehicles that can/will Accommodate the 3.75 size Action Figs! :D
Awesome stuff! I really wanted to participate, but had too many projects on my plate already. Looking forward to the next challenge!
Don’t you worry my friend, we will have more and often!
Modeler's TIP: Don't be afraid to use "SHEET ALUMINUM" to make "Dented" metal parts like body panels, fenders, fuel tanks, etc. It adds "REALIZM" to your models!
This can be done two ways... Either glue together 3 to 5 sheets of simple aluminum foil and/or aluminum soda/beer cans. What's nice about using the cans is that that they already have a "Natural Curve" to them! :D
Great tip! Thank you so much!
The Jawa Sand Speeder is my favorite overall, and the Bug Runner had a fun backstory. The best use of materials really is a toss up. I saw plastic bottles, spray bottles, lots of model pieces, even what looked like that plastic thing off the top of a deodorant stick! If I can remember which build had that, they get my vote.
Perfect Eric! Thank you!
Fab video and phenomenal production values! Thanks to you both :)
Thank you Ben!
Brilliant build my friend! I need to make some cool project like this out of recycled material! Very cool💯 came out awesome
Thank you! Cheers!
Man, I would love to try this! I need to get some friends together to try this. This is some cool inspiration 💯Cool build👍
You should!
What a fantastic challenge and all the entries look great! Love the backstories as well! I'd say it's a tie between Whitey's Wicked Workshop build, and RBB.
👊
Awesome, thanks bud!
Thanks Ron!
LOVE THESE SPEEDER BUILDS. AWESOME VIDEO.
Glad you like them!
All were awesome!
Thank you!
Thanks K8!
Holy Crap, I didn't know that there were bigger nerds than me. I guess living in the ass end of space,on a back water planet, and a rural zip code at that has isolated me a bit.
Oh yes.... We're everywhere
Welcome to the group 😉
All are great work n nice bluid...
Much appreciated
Thanks Nycrone!
Awesome challenge, wonderful kitbashing models, all of them 👏👏
My favorites for each category are:
Best back story, number 1 Thomas
Most creative number 5 Shawn
And my favorite number 8 James
Thank you Ivan!!
Wow!! Very good. I am learning with you. I am Brazilian.
Thank you! 😃
RBB had the best build, really felt screen ready. But to be honest they were all great. I love kit bashing and trying new ideas on scale models. I am definitely checking out the channels you recommended.
Wonderful! Thank you!!!
Loved the kitbash thing! and thank you!
Thanks!
For your room build diorama you should light it like a hologram, just a thought
That’s a fun idea. Maybe a “hologram mode”
Very cool tinkering.
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you please do an updated room tour? Thanks and love your videos. 👍
We will soon
So far all of your videos have been awesome but me being a scale modeler I'm really digging the model videos.. but as I said all your videos have turned out to be pretty cool !🤙👍
Thank you! We are going to have more scale stuff coming this summer! It's going to be a blast!
I love your build and my favorite of the other builds is Whiteys Wicked Workshop's build
Much appreciated
Thanks so much Asi!
@@WhiteysWickedWorkshop you are very welcome . . . love your videos !
@@asilevinson1479 Thanks I really appreciate that!
Boss I loved you concept ,and say how you never grown up , and how you've always want to design your own vehicles and know I may get stoned for this but I've always wanted to build a star wars / star trek cross over ,can you see the falcon with warp engines like the enterprise? People dont hate me , but it's all about being creative right and its sci fi and outer space who's to say there paths didnt cross !!!
