Now, I know that this isn't exactly a realistic addition to Star Wars canon, but let’s just pretend that after the destruction of the Imperial base on Scarif, somehow junkers were able to salvage a few remaining pieces of K-2 and miraculously, despite being directly in the Death Star’s laser blast radius, he’s still in relatively good condition.😅
Bro this might be my favorite one yet. Whipping up an eye out of random parts including an IKEA sink drain? That feels like what the prop builders on Episodes IV, V, and VI were probably doing. This build channels so much of that OG trilogy energy. Keep up the incredible work.
Hello! Great work, you have vision for sure. Your ability to whip up an eye socket out of some stuff you have around the house makes you a true prop builder.
@@brungerbuilds Amazing build. I love the level of damage with that hole blown out the back. I've just started making my own props and I'm realizing how difficult it is to get the correct level of damage, wear, and grime. It's so easy to go to far. The flickering lights are a nice touch.
HOLY this is amazing! I love the blown out effect on the back of his head. I feel like you could very similarly do a model of "Handles" the cyberman head that the 11th Doctor Who had in the TARDIS
I've said it before, but your builds look studio/ movie quality! Using the soldering iron to make the damage and then using the metal shavings makes this look so realistic. Well i guess it kinda is since you used real metal lol. Definetly going to have to try this technique the next time I need to apply wealthering. Great job!
Thanks so much! I come from a video production background and a love for the film look so I’m always trying to make my stuff look a little dirty and imperfect like film. Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
Something I like to think when doing battle damage is that the more damage you apply, either intentional or not, you do not have to recover it. it is supposed to be damaged so it is fine to go a little over board. If you were trying to go for a screen accurate look, then my process would fall apart. but since we never see K-2SO as a scrap heap, what you did is totally fine.
this is amazing !!! You should have a million subs. Really easy to follow and great end result. I'd love to do the same but I have so much work to get done and so little time...
Thank you! I know the feeling! Remember though, it’s all about the journey not the destination. A little bit here or there is better than never at all! ( I need to listen to this advice more often) 😅
This build taught me so many techniques I wanna apply to my Star-Lord helmet. The K2 build came out amazingly well done. Can I ask what you’re using to dry brush at 1:36? Keep up the amazing work and I’ll definitely be watching 🫡
Thank you! I exclusively use Vallejo’s Metal Color line to dry brush. To be honest, I haven’t tried any other alternatives because all their metal tones are so great that I feel no need to look elsewhere haha! On this build I’m pretty sure I used Duraluminum (maybe White Aluminum) for the mouth and Engine Manifold for the lower piece that wraps around the head. Might have also used Gun Metal Grey for a couple details too 🤔
Looks sweet, i think one aspect of the rust that this method doesnt get is the flakiness. Not sure how you would do that but whenever i see rusty metal it always looks very flaky and chippable

Also that clean copper shimmer does absolutely make it, great choice
Heck yeah! Thanks so much. Always trying to channel the energy of those OG ILM fellas
Yet another amazing build, I hope you're enjoying the making as much as we are watching, because I don't want these videos to end!
Glad to hear it!

Thanks so much! The parts fit like they were made for it 😁
These always blow me away bro. the final shot is literally mesmerizing. I watch every one of these to help grow my prints, slowly getting there.
Awesome! I appreciate the kind words and glad I can be of some help! Good luck on your builds ❤️
Bravo sir! This turned out incredible!!
Thank you very much!
such an underated channel its actually crazy
Hoping to get to overrated asap 😂😭
INCREDIBLE! You are TheCrafsMan of Droids :D
"Trust the process" is something i really need to take to heart ^^
Haha thank you!
Really nice work. Great idea for a display piece!
Thank you!
Another great video 😍😍
This turned out so cool and I love that you used random items like that Ikea drain thing :) keep up the good work! Amazing!
Thank you!
I'm commenting before I've even watched it, you had me on the thumbnail! Love K-2 and what you did with it. Ok I'll go watch now!
Heck yeah! Glad to hear it! ❤️

Thanks! I agree, it takes some getting used to in order to know when enough is enough. You can always add more, but can’t necessarily take it away 😅

Crazy, I was just thinking about doing a destroyed k2so build , this video is definitely my push to do it. Great Video keep up the amazing work
Awesome! Good luck on your build!
This is quickly becoming my fav UA-cam channel. Please change nothing...
Also please build an ESB EE-3 ;)
Definitely on my list!
Super cool 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Look into a wood scraper for the flat surfaces it’s LITERALLY a game changer
love the build!
Thank you!

You’re totally right! It’s always a little scary trying a new technique and I was just way too in my head 😅

It can depend on the rust, but you’re definitely right. I had hoped that would happen by applying the iron under the Tamiya paint, but it didn’t 🤷🏻♂️
👍👍

I 3d printed my own k-2 head although nowhere near as cool as yours, mine is about half the size.
Awesome! There’s definitely a time and place for scaled props. Certainly saves on storage space! 😅
thought this was brau 1589
Had no idea what you were talking about so I had to look it up. They definitely share some similar design elements!
