DIY Star Wars Custom Scratch Built Walker - from Recycled Packaging
Вставка

- I wanted to make some kind of custom Walker but when I started I had no idea it would end up a Star Wars inspired walker. This custom scratch built Star Wars Walker is made from bits of Lego Bionicle parts and recycled packaging and a few Final Faction bits.
For my diorama I took inspiration from Boylei Hobby Time who does amazing work! I was even able to throw a few Stormtroopers in my Star Wars Walker build! : )
I hope you enjoy this custom DIY Scratch Build!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, have a great one!

"Mechaniclize"!! I love the sound of that!!
Bionicle ball-joints are a game changer. Strong, flexible, fuss free, model-glue compatible...
Just hard to find at garage sales!😂
Impressive diorama, imagine the Empire using this design to rule forest and jungle terrain planets in the galaxy.
Thanks so much!
I always get a huge kick out of seeing scratch build projects once they are primed, totally transformed into a professional looking model and no longer looks like random pieces of junk stuck together. Awesome video as always!
Couldn't agree more! It's almost magical! 😃
I love the use of the mint container with the floss containers. Also the fact that it still opens is a great feature.
Thanks! As soon as I saw it I knew I had to make something out of it. 😀
It would be my favorite stash spot
"I'm going to make this out of junk. here are some legos..."
me: cries
So sorry, you are 100% right... total respect to the LEGO parts, definitely not junk! 😃
They were actually amazing to work with and made the junk portions work.
You have such a great neighbour. My current neighbour sometimes has loud pool parties. One of my old neighbours had loud pool parties but instead way louder and also at night when I would try to sleep
Bummer!
Omg you replied to my comment, what an honor!
Using a vinyl cutter to score polystyrene is a neat trick! Good video!
Thanks! 👍

I really enjoy your work! Your content is fantastic! I like the way your mind works!
Thanks so much!

Thank you so much 😀
love the walker keep up the good work
Thanks.
Great Job Doc
Thanks!
Another great build 👏
Thank you 🤗
what impresses me the most most of the time about robot models is getting the joints right! takes alot of thought to make a real working joint, and if its a good replica of it, makes the model heaps better.
Yeah, I'm still learning... Legs and arms are a pain! 😅
Crushed it!!!!! Great job
Thanks man!
Dang! That's a fantastic walker! Nice one, Doc.
Thank you!
Awesome build!
Thanks!
gettin the neighbors in on it is NICE
😃 They were pumped to see what I did with theur parts!
great piece of work - love it
Thanks! Glad you like it!
This came out really cool. The legs are rad
Thanks!
That is outstanding, Dave! As a junk builder myself, I love how these things progressively evolve from the initial idea.
Yeah... when doing stuff like this you just have to roll with what feels right and pray at the end it looks good! 😂
Love the Modge podge And tile grout
You can also sprinkle it on like dirt
Super cool build. Great job 🙌🏻😊
Thank you 🤗
Excellent build! Your creativity, fabrication, and detailing skills are very impressive! Enjoying your videos!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Always an inspiration to watch. A real
Star Wars style Imperial Walker. Looks like a mechanized combat walker droid .
Love the storm troopers on the diorama
Thanks so much!
Epic sauce!! Such a cool build! I love the doors work to house the electronics.
😂 It was almost too easy!
Thanks.
This turned out awesome! I love watching you put toys together from scrap, junk building is awesome!!
Thank you 🤗
That walker robot looks fantastic , l love the sense of scale with the Star Wars troopers , great job 👏 👍
Looks awesome!!
Thanks!
Fantastic build Doc, great job on the base. 😎👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome ! This is one of your best man. Well done !!
Thanks a ton!
Awesome, just awesome!
Wow, thanks!
Great video 👍
This one really came together nicely! Interesting elements and techniques. The diorama base turned out perfect too. Thanks for sharing!
Looks amazing. I love seeing how it all comes together.
Me too! 😂
Thanks so much!
the amount of energy and joy you put in your videos is amazing . and your work is completely awesome
Thank you so much 😀
That means a lot to me.
I think this is one of your best builds! It really has the Star Wars look to it. For a four legged walker you could glue two of the bodies end to end to give you the length for the two extra legs. Thanks for sharing this fantastic build.
Thanks!
"outta the pahk." Great work.
😃🙏
Looks awesome! You got to come up with a name for this guy.
I sold this at D-Con but I agree he does need a good name. 😀
Another great build. Look forward to your videos!
Glad you like them!
Yes. This is my favorite type of content. Always so inspirational. Love the videos, already excited for next time
Awesome! Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant!!! Looks so polished, and so much fun!
Thanks! I appreciate that. 😀
Amazing work, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I like the back hatch on the walker it is like how the trooper would get inside, this thing looks awesome!
Thanks. 😃
love this!!!
Thanks!
Wow, I really loved this one, I've never thought to use dollartree toys for kitbashing.
You can't beat the price! 😂
Top notch, mate. You are super talented! Cheers, --Bo
Thanks a ton!
Those lego legs look awsome!
Thanks! Yeah they worked out great and I love how articulated the whole thing is! 😃
Awesome droid walker build Doc!! With your quality paint and weathering this thing looks like it could be a professional kit. I love it, you have really mastered the SW aesthetic. I wouldn't be surprised to see this with a squad of stormtroopers patrolling a rebel-infested planet.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing, and keep on keeping on!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words! 😃
Awesome build brother
Thanks 🙏
Awesome build I really like the out come of it. I'm going to build a Walker soon
Awesome! They're really fun to build! I have an idea for another one, hope I can pull it off! 😂
Really amazing! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do!
I love how every video, you're getting more creative and adventurous, keep it up!
Thank you very much!
You did a great job, I love the design of the walker!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. 😃
Another great build. I got the recommendation for your channel after watching Boylei Hobby Time.
Awesome! Thank you!
He is so goooooood!
Such a great build, would look great in a game of Legion...
Awesome! Thanks.
That looks Super clean!
👏👏😍 you Always give me good ideas. So I Just found out My buddies kid works at Disneyland At the build your own droid Store. I told him I would pay him for any broken parts if you ever find any 🤦♂️ I hope I don’t get hem fired lol!! But anyways another amazing project!. 😎👍
That is awesome!😃🤖
Well done man
Thanks, this was a fun one!
Love this 👌🏻 well done to you!
Thank you!! 😊
Try a Ice-pick and heat the tip just enough. Can Mold holes to almost any shape you want. Need bigger holes for bigger projects, Screw drivers work as well. Ice-pick is great for small and detailing square holes.
Great stuff. I love Junk. I see all sorts of stuff in some of the most mundane items. I save a lot of junk to play with.
Awesome ideas! Thanks.
Junk is the best! 😂
Dude this looks great!! I love the diorama look (one of my favorite things to build) and I love Boylei Hobby Time. His builds inspired some of my recent star wars dioramas (as well as your builds). Keep being that awesome toy nerd.
Thanks. Yeah I love all the stuff he does with LEDs... I need to up my game! 😂
@@DRToysCreations LOL yeah... I've only ventured into tea lights. His LED stuff is next level... and I'm not sure I'm ready to go there yet ha.
I found your channel while trying to learn about wiring up small LEDs but I really love your videos. Sharing your thought process, your enthusiasm, as well as the quality of your work is so great! Keep it up!
Thanks 🙏
Love it. Your videos are a blast, man. Great stuff.
I appreciate that!
Super cool, you do GREAT work!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much 😀
I just stumbled across you channel. Love these type of builds!!! So many great ideas. 🖖🏻
Awesome! Glad ya found me!
@@DRToysCreations Thanks me too!
Looks Great you always do a cool job man you have a great imagination.
Thanks 👍
I love it❤
If you plan on working with xps foam again, I would suggest getting a hot wire cutter (preferably with 2-3 tool attachments) they go for around $22 on Amazon. It will make working with foam much easier.
That thought crossed my mind so many time while I was cutting the foam... It's definitely on my list of things to get. Thanks.
👍 Really Really Cool.
Thanks!
You should get a KINGFOREST Pin Vise Hand Drill for Resin Casting Molds, Steel Hand Drill with 10 PCS Drill Bits (0.8-3 mm) from Amazon! They are only $7. The come with different size bits!
I actually just got that exact set... I have found the bits are kinda cheap and don't drill that well so I may need to invest in some better quality bits but I do like it! Thanks for the tip!😃👍
Your videos inspired me for my own Warhammer set up
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for watching!
@@DRToysCreations any advice for stuff in uk
@@sglenny001 Sorry, what do you mean by "stuff in the UK" Are you asking about supplies, toys...?
@@DRToysCreations yep
@@sglenny001 take a look at Bill making stuff (we have a couple of other native channels, but he's the only one I can name)
REALLY great building, my only problem is how build it in 28mm scale, the legs are the hardest part to do of a walker, this model show how menacing could be an imperial warbot! 👍
Thanks.
Bad ass!
Thanks!
Oh man those feet!! Killer
Thanks.
Outstanding. getting better with every build ... would love to have you build me a Classic woodland camo Walker with forward and backward facing canons
Thanks
Awsome!!!!
Thanks!!
Bro! Love your channel!! Your awesome!!🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
I appreciate that!
Awesome!
Thanks!
They should really encourage people more and stamp PLEASE UPCYCLE on all the plastic greeblies :p
Totally!
Come to the dark side. Very cool
😂 Thanks!
I primed some of my first minis with gritty automotive primer. I knew I had done something wrong, but I wasn't sure what. Eventually I stripped them, very slowly with simple green. It took several soak/toothbrush scrub sessions but I was able to s save them
Were these metal or plastic miniatures? I've used Simple Green before as well, and would like to know if it is safe for use in stripping plastic.
Yeah... I'm gonna stick to the standard primer...😂
Fantastic job Dave! Being a diehard AFOL, I cringed when you cut up the lego. But...use what you got and the articulation makes it all the more fun in the finished piece. -DLH
Yeah, I've been getting a little flack for cutting up Lego but it was an incomplete Stormtrooper so I think it was a good sacrifice. 😂
You cutting the Lego hurt me, but it was worth it!
For the greater good! 😂
@@DRToysCreations yes
I have a funny story and it is gross as well. So I went to the Is grocery store in Albany, Oregon. There was a fart toy and I also had the dog rip it apart. It still made the fart noises for little while and laugh so hard as the dog broke it apart. It was the funniest memories and the dog was fine. He just had to much fun and I also laughed the afternoon. It is funny seeing a dog rip a stuffed animal that makes fart noises. Anyway happy holidays and I just hope you got what you wished for this Christmas.
😂 That's great!!! I love how little things in life can bring us so much joy! Have a Happy New Year!
I like it
Tums has a nice shape container right now. The one with a square lid. It looks they are switching to a round lid which ruins the look...in my head anyway. I go through like one large bottle per month unfortunately so I could make a fleet of Tums shaped rebel craft.
I'll have to check out the tums packaging. 😃👍 Thanks.
This looks great! What were those black peg/ball joints you used?
Bits from a Lego Bionical.
sweet little build. should have used the wash on the troopers as well to bring out the details
Good idea! I did already sell this so next time.
Thanks.
@@DRToysCreations how much do you usually ask for a build like this? Big demand for it or just strictly collectors and aficionados?
@@stevec9315 I would say more collectors, I think this went for $120 or $160. I honestly dont remember exactly but around there.
I love it DR Toys, my personal backstory for this thing, as i was watching it.. AT- PD All Terrain Patrol Droid, what do you think? also its awesome that you gave a shout out to boylei hobby time, i watch both of you guys. amazing job!
Love the name!!! Thanks
There are so many amazing makers out there and he is definitely one of them!
The AT-PD actually exists
I spotted those Lego pieces from a mile away, dawg.
They worked perfect for this build!
Really cool build. What is the vinyl cutter you're using as well as the drawing software? Thanks for sharing.
It's a Brothers Scan and Ct I found at a yard sale and I use Illustrator.
Thanks for the info.
This is a great video.
Did you scratch through the primer? Have you looked at scoring first then using a fine primer?
I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming, please
Thanks so much. Yeah I've done it both ways but a lot of times I like to do it after I prime it because once it's primed I have a better idea of the overall look and feel. When you prime something like this it's almost magical how it all comes together!
I wonder how big this would be compared to 40k miniatures, because it would make an excellent scratch built Sentinel walker/Stega-Tank
It was about 10 in tall.
🚀
🤖
Surprised how much stuff they actually use
😃This was a fun one!
AT-SD: All Terrain Strike Drone
What do you think of this designation?
Oooo thats cool
*droid
@@pacman10182 I thought of that. But given the size and function I thought a remotely piloted drone made more sense. Either way, it is only my personal suggestion. Ultimately the designation of the unit lies with the creator.
maybe you could teach piranha games a thing or two about ancient irreplaceable murder bots being... ancient
😃👍
Reduce, reuse, recycle!
😃👍
5 people don´t like starwars mechs!
😄 Can't make everyone happy...😄
poor lego
If it helps at all it was an incomplete set that I found used for cheap. Ang Lego is all about imagination and creation. 😃
Looks great!!!
Thanks!!
