I just about lost it when I saw the juice lid bit, I love those things and use them a lot in builds. I confess I am also a greeblie hoarder too, which kind of bummed my gf out until this Halloween when she decided she wanted to build a Borg costume haha. Now suddenly it’s all useful.
When walking out and about, keep your eyes peeled on the ground (using caution crossing roads!) I find the odd bit here and the odd thing there, some of which are the most interesting pieces I have found. Plus, you are taking rubbish out of the environment too!
This was one of the best videos on greeblies I’ve ever seen. Short but packed with info and good tips and an “out of the world” intro. Seriously, I was laughing so much at that.
Fantastic! I just recently disassembled a projection TV and have been bit diving on it for weeks now. Great resource. Also, you have a truly inspiring personality and infectious enthusiasm! Thank you....
Just discovered this channel and I love it. I mean I consider fairly decent at star wars prop building but I'm getting so many good ideas and tips from this channel.
"... and, I also enjoy toilet flanges ..." Classic. Hilarious too when taken out of context. Thanks for this video, I really thought the casting of molds from knobs etc. was a great idea, if there is only a single knob but you need a set of three or four or twenty, well hey, now you are in business!
LOL! Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Molding and casting this stuff really helps when you are making a lot of projects, hope it helps you on yours. Thanks for watching!
Awesome Video! Organization is key! I feel like I'm constantly cleaning and organizing in order to be more efficient. Its so awesome that you know exactly where all of your greeblies are!
This is fun, when it's the new year I'll be collecting an lot of parts and junk for my own greebling details, lol for what's happening in the background at the end of the video.
just awesome dude as a fellow builder of props and dioramas myself over the last year i have been collecting everything pop bottle tops to old plugs to ice cube trays that one am using on my Alien 1979 Tracker here in the UK we have £1 shops and charity shops and they are full of very cool greeblies from cheap toys to household items and like you i have been keeping them in stored boxes and bins with labels on to tell me what they are just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me again dude you rock
Adam Crump that’s fantastic!!! The 79 alien tracker is such a cool prop, it’s still one of those on my prop bucket list of must builds! Those inexpensive shops are definitely the place to go to find parts. Thanks for watching!
@@TheSmugglersRoom will you ever build that prop i am in the process of building one my self but its not screen accurate but pretty close they are amazing
Adam Crump 100% . . . But not sure when. It’s been one of those that I have wanted to make for a really long time. I’m sure mine won’t be screen accurate, I tend to get a bit to outside the lines 😬
@@TheSmugglersRoom i found the actually tv they used for the base of the prop on ebay for around $30 do you have a facebook page dude would love to send you the links to the screen accurate parts i have found on ebay
Adam Crump that is awesome! What a great price for the tv too. Yep, we have a FB page and would love to get details from you. If you go to the link in the description of this episode you'll see our FB link there. Thanks!!
I'm a chef, and the greeblies I find are amazing! Lids are great, of course, but you really have to look at some of the hand sanitizer/hand soap refills, the nozzles are incredible! Also, and you probably know this already, I hit the dollar stores not for the products, but for the vacuformed packaginng!
Robin Williams did kit-bashing as a kid before kit-bashing was a thing. Also, bottle caps....soda bottles, empty medicine bottles, pepper tin lids....all great to add to the greeblie pile
Great video and a fun intro! I've been doing the same things with my own collection of greeblies, nurnies and GNDNs for over 50 years and we use many of the same sources. (You could say that I was a "junk-basher early adopter".) In addition to the sized totes, I have a shelved wall full of transparent plastic shoe-boxes -- they work well for medium storage and pre-grouping small parts for specific project ideas.

I used to work for Douglas Aircraft back in the eighties. We had a salvage yard where the company would get rid of aircraft scrap a veritable treasure trove of greeblies. In fact I recall seeing several pieces that were used on the Empire Strikes Back. Just a suggestion if you can find an aircraft scrapyard you can find great stuff. Also I was at a local car show and guy had taken a seventies small postal service van and repainted the exterior to look like a B-52. He dressed the interior to look like aircraft with decommissioned ejection seats for the driver and passenger. I always thought this idea would be great to do as a Star Wars style vehicle-The mind boggles. Can't wait for the Polaris modification.
Thank you Kevin, i never really contemplated it would be possible to access old aircraft scrap. I knew they did that sort of thing for the films, but I sort of figured it was out of reach for the average person. Do you have any suggestions on where to start? Would you just look up "Aircraft Salvage Yard" for information on the web? Thanks so much for the suggestion, its a great idea! Appreciate you watching!
I've got some great greeblies I've acquired through the years but never got around to using for anything yet. One example is some cool looking plastic parts that came in the packaging of some pool filter cartridges.
Ooh! Those sound interesting. I have greeblies that I’ve had for 10 years or more that are waiting to be used. Just can’t rush it right? Have to wait for that perfect fit I always say 🤣
Lenses are one thing can ALWAYS find a place in a star wars build of any scale. Very cool video today! I believe the word Greeblie was actually made up by George Lucas when talking to his model shop about accessorizing the starship models.
Mig Monkey indeed! They add a great look. You are correct about Lucas. He “coined” the phrase when trying to explain all those textures. I’m also a big fan of Nurnies, and I believe that was the term that most UK model builders used.
This really helps me out! I need some greeblies becuase I am planning to make a small scale droid. Thanks for the video! Keep up the good work! -Creator Everywhere
I'm an organizational hoarder as well. You should see what is behind me, I'm in my workspace and yes I save everything too! While I have not seen a greeblie Wookiee worm yet, there is something living under the shelves that is can never quite get a good look at! :-D Not sure if I should be
1/12 scale greebles can be a challenge if you dont have some spare toys or models lying around. Ive found I have to train my brain to see them. of course there are the obvious containers and straws. Cutting small rectangles squares and circles out of styrene is a must. The packages that printer ink comes in has big potential Need to hit up the thrift shops for some junk toys
@@TheSmugglersRoom Im currently building a Throne room for my marvel legends Dr Doom, but I'm doing a twist on it. Instead of the usual medieval look I'm going for more of a steam punk. So you can imagine the amount of pipes, control panels wires and various greebles i will.need lol
My greeblie storage and organization drives me crazy! Have you found the cheapest containers that can be found? That's my biggest issue, there are SO MANY options for storage containers and bins out there, and most of them aren't cheap! What do you prefer to use? I only recognize the large yellow Stanley type organizers that you've got. I have a couple of those, but they're overflowing, and they're expensive! I've pretty much settled on what I use for larger containers, the contico-style crates, with the two flaps on top. (That's what most folks in movies and TV use, Prop Masters and such.) But have you found good cheap options for the flatter type organizers?
Sorry for the late reply. I have never been 100% satisfied with my storage, nor the way I store them in the shop. You are right, the bin options are endless. I found the black bins I use at "the container store" several years back, and I liked them because they match, and they stack easily. They no longer sell the version I have, but the following link has similar sizes. If I ever find a better solution I will update you all. Here is the link to bins like mine: www.containerstore.com/s/storage/plastic-bins-baskets/sterilite-black-stacker-totes/12d?productId=11007874
@@TheSmugglersRoom cool, thanks for that! What I'm really looking for are the type with separators, or individual bins, for the smaller parts. Just haven't found the perfect solution. I've got a bunch, all different kinds, and they're either too shallow, or too expensive! I reckon there's a middle ground, but don't feel like I've found it, yet. Anyway, keep up the great work!!
Ok I went to buy some Renewzit air fresheners for my jetpack and they changed the design of the tip on top. 😫 Its no longer a flat tip, its a sharp angle or a flower design. I need 2 older ones like yours but cant find them now. 😭
The Smugglers Room: Make random cool thing Me: *spies random small object on desk* Ooh, a greeblie! Also me, 10 minutes later: The Great Greeblie Hunt of 2021 has begun!!
I remember back in 2011 at a Star Wars celebration, we had a squad and we approached some of the guilds/clans/factions (both rebel and empire side) and asked them if we could start a smuggler only group and we got shot down faster than Solo on a first date. We got laughed at, snarked at, told to leave by the rebels (even some smart ass B-wing pilot cosplay player made a smart ass comment about it. That's when I had to fire back and asked him him if he knew the craft that was the pre-cursor to the X-wing and he didn't. Told him it was the Z-95 Headhunter and I have piloted it in the sim, along with his precious B-wing, so go pound sand. =) ) This is when the Celebration was lacking in some areas. It had the Troopers, Bounty Hunters, all the Rebel pilots, Empire officers, Sith and Jedi. But no Smugglers. It would have been great to see a section modeled after a cantina with a bunch of shady characters just lounging around, conducting "deals". But oh well, we got shot down for our ideas with everyone we approached. I love your channel and I think you would go crazy with my stash. I have so many action figures, you would baby seal club me and steal them all.
You know I have always wondered why there wasn't a "Smugglers" group like so many other groups. It's a bit shocking that it would get shot down. Seems like a perfectly logical group of Cosplayers. You certainly always see Smugglers at the conventions. Sounds like you also have one heck of a collection! Bravo!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Yeah, my friends, their wives were all on board for the smuggler cosplay. (she just wanted to be a better version of Mara Jade, minus the saber..and bigger..umm...anyways..) We were stock piling toy blasters from goodwill to start building our own custom blasters. I even bought a metric crap ton of military cold war surplus leather pouches, mag pouches, holsters, stuff you would see in the movies. Then I sent e-mails out to the certain groups that i will not name, since I don't want to look like I am trashing them. I got snarky e-mails back and it killed it for us. Now i'm building a retro computer to make it look like something you would find on the Falcon or an X-wing, using a older APU/mobo combo in one of those old school "rocker gamer" chairs that rest on the floor (plus they are big guy friendly and they allow for thrashing). But i'm mounting a flight stick to it. The System will work through Bluetooth and i'll be making a Rebel pilot helmet with Bluetooth that syncs to the computer. Once that is done, it will be time to boot up X-wing versus Tie Fighter and all the other X-wing games. I still have them all. Plus you can nab them off of steam. Nothing like doing the trench run in a Y-wing! If you ever end up forming a Smuggler guild or want to build the "X-wing chair", let me join!
Greg Gutshall hey there, not specifically for the pack in this episode. However, we do have two jet pack on the work bench to go along with a HUGE double Mando costume project that you will start seeing on the channel very soon . . . I promise!
@@TheSmugglersRoom That's going to be awesome! Boba Fett is my favorite Star Wars character and super stoked about the new Mando series. Subscribed to your channel, thanks for the great work!

Now i'm building a retro computer to make it look like something you would find on the Falcon or an X-wing, using a older APU/mobo combo in one of those old school "rocker gamer" chairs that rest on the floor (plus they are big guy friendly and they allow for thrashing). But i'm mounting a flight stick to it. The System will work through Bluetooth and i'll be making a Rebel pilot helmet with Bluetooth that syncs to the computer. Once that is done, it will be time to boot up X-wing versus Tie Fighter and all the other X-wing games. I still have them all. Plus you can nab them off of steam. Nothing like doing the trench run in a Y-wing! If you ever end up forming a Smuggler guild or want to build the "X-wing chair", let me join!
omg Mini-Gonk is awesome.
TheOldSkoolSP thank you!
Best intro ever?? Hilarious.
Thank you!
Maybe I missed your reply in the comment section, but you do have a DIY video for the Boba Fett jet pack?
Greg Gutshall hey there, not specifically for the pack in this episode. However, we do have two jet pack on the work bench to go along with a HUGE double Mando costume project that you will start seeing on the channel very soon . . . I promise!
@@TheSmugglersRoom That's going to be awesome! Boba Fett is my favorite Star Wars character and super stoked about the new Mando series.
Subscribed to your channel, thanks for the great work!
I just heard the term "greeblie" today. But this looks an awful lot like what one does when making a steampunk project. :)
It’s very similar

Certain deodorant tubes can be used to make scale Star Trek Federation Photon Torpedoes.
Great example! Yes!!!

You forgot ice trays. Never forget your ice tray.
John Smith I know, we totally did, but we remembered them here . . . ua-cam.com/video/kV7QlJzzs9o/v-deo.html
As a former mechanic I have collected many odd item's for build projects. I am like you if it is broken it gets taken apart lol.
Awesome!
Is the Greeblie worm copyrighted?
ebeeks ha ha!! I don’t think so . . . At least I hope not 😉
Literally everything I see now I see as a potential Greeblie or something. xD
Ethan Cox me too!!!! Thanks for watching!
