Let's Make a Ship From Trash

  • I found a little model kit pilot and an eye drop bottle that was trash and thought it would be cool to make a scratch build/kitbashed trash ship. I kitbashed some model parts, gundam bits and other trash bits I've collected to put this together. This kitbash trash build came together pretty easy and with a little custom paint and some weathering I think it came out great.
    I hope you enjoy this toy customization kitbash video!
    Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

    Great kitbash. Simple but something I could see flying around in an old Heavy Metal comic.

    That cockpit idea is genius, and you made it look so good. The final ship is fantastic and believable.

    Be even cooler to sneak in a tiny LED to glow inside the green shell. That would be cool. Maybe if you find a more colors you can make a whole fleet

      Some sort of shampoo bottle or hand sanitizer bottle could make some sort of larger command ship, they often have see through coloured bottles

    I love how convincing a paint job can be! To think that this was once an eyedropper, that's just silly. I love the creativity and it's super inspiring.

    In older editions of 40k, GW actually gave instructions on how to build a land-speeder from a deodorant bottle. I myself am old enough to remember when they recommended making home-made terrain out of cardboard as a way to save money. Oh they were different times :D

    First time checking out your videos, and this one was an impressive trash-to-treasure build. Gotta say I miss the olive-drab wings and the stenciling on them, all-silver lost a bit of the character, but that's about the only thing I'd do differently. Inspiring mini-build!

    • @DRToysCreations
      @DRToysCreations  Рік тому +3

      I thought the same thing after I painted it... I definitely could have gone more green with the body and keep the wing... maybe on the next one.😀

    By all means, and I also definitely can, and do see outside and beyond the box. Always looking for odds and ends, as well as the little things to use in the biggest way. Secondhand and thrift stores are great for finding all of the little trinkets and treasures. We as the imagineer's, are so full of potential. The possibilities are only limited for the ones who do not dream. DREAM ON.

    This is so cool, as a former professional architectural model maker. I became jaded and haven't built a model for over a decade. I was thinking of getting back into modeling but plastic kits just don't do it for me anymore. it takes me back to by bits box, funny how great minds think alike I used to make robots from scraps of model planes and tanks.
