Enjoy!

That trick you did at 17:00 proves how much of a genius you are. Chris you seriously need to get into the movie industry, you could make props professionally no problem.

[@goldenassassin7995]

what trick?

[@mandomotionstudios3896]

Golden Assassin i hate you

[@jaxxzero5734]

He needs a top hat

[@Brawr183]

I'm floored by how awesome this came out. Such a cool idea!

[@mantismodels1207]

Wow Chris! Top notch..good way to think outside the box! Very nice indeed.

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Shannon...

[@alexrivers5425]

Chris, this is Bloody awesome!! R2-D2 looks great. that rust and patina spray is a great idea

[@warnermcgee8856]

Amazing transformation of such a beloved hero! Your work is outstanding. Not just from a surface level but the storytelling aspect of these kinds of projects is creative and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing your work. Great job mate!

[@warnermcgee8856]

Lovely idea of the pocket watch too! Who's the artist? Maybe a mention of the artist in the description. Cool inspirational piece!

[@CosplayChris]

Warner thanks mate for your kind words...All the best.

[@alanmccrum1241]

Jaw dropping detail as always...... hell of a job Chris......

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Alan.

[@misunderstoodtim]

WOW! Great job Chris! Love your videos, please keep up the amazing work!

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks for the support Tim......All the best mate.

[@ericrausch5122]

Love this, now I'll try it out on my 3' 1996 Talking R2D2 (purchased a second time since '98) 1st one stolen.

[@jasonsnothrillstoyreview7228]

awesome work yet again mate. i love watching the stuff you go. always picking up amazing tips from your videos.

[@taffanyhill8809]

This is bad ass!! You are inspiring me to do some stuff like this for my significant nerd (aka my husband)

[@meesmiddelkoop8327]

It's amazing how much creativity this Guy has! Keep making these AWESOME vids!

[@jessehunter1194]

I love all of the toy and prop customizations you do! Keep them coming! I've actually learned a lot from watching you and tried out some of the techniques you use. Great stuff!

[@themikereda]

When I first started watching I thought this was going to be too goofy to be cool, but it's amazing. And apart from the monocle, I can see a Star Wars story set 1,000+ years after the original trilogy where an R2-D2 like this would make sense. Great work, yet again!

[@liammoore3692]

i have never seen a channel so creative with great ideas good on u chris

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Star...appreciate your support.

[@AlexYadaYada]

Try frog tape when you want to paint a part of the item. From what I've heard, it won't leave a sticky residue and it comes off clean.

[@sam9m]

Chris you are just nuts. How are you not working in Hollywood?

[@CosplayChris]

Hey Sam the man I'm trying.

[@tf-jk8gb]

Cosplay Chris don't move to Hollywood stay in Australia

[@SammyWatsit]

Omg Chris, these custom collectibles just keep getting better and better! this R2D2 looks so badass!

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Sam...really appreciate your support.

[@JD7Videos]

Chris this was my one of if not my favorite custom collectible love the imagination, and this one was extra special because you went above and beyond with the creativity, steam punk R2 came out great, keep up the great work!

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Dan.

[@Kathalein77]

You truly know your crafting and you're even an artist at it!

[@RakeshPoluri]

One of the best takes on R2-D2. Love it!

[@Wildicon19]

Wow that steampunk R2 is awesome! You have an amazing talent, along with an awesome imagination!

[@hyp3rk1ll_aoc39]

Not a steam punk fan but I am a fan of your work. Well executed, looks superb!

[@cameronadams1125]

I'd like to see another one of these but maybe a slightly battle damaged custom astromech that we haven't seen before like what one you'd get if they real things

[@EpicLollipop]

probably my favorite collectable you've made so far!

[@kalyndahaaf]

Wow I was actually looking for a paint that does this effect. Looks very cool!!! Keep it up

[@forgotn42]

I didn't even know clear primer was a thing. That's pretty awesome.

[@OMCCsam]

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Chuck...All the best mate.

[@deathstroke1537]

Awesome creation as always 😀

[@willyates2787]

Hey Chris you should make a custom collectables playlist. it would be way easier to find vids!

[@LukeS-rn8gh]

Will Yates agreed

[@perpetuallyconfusedmeatsuit]

Will Yates ive had to make one of my own. but yh it would be great

[@leod.7163]

Yes please

[@mrschmiemann5798]

DerBeff it happened

[@ian3314]

Most of your Custom stuff is badass but this one I think is actually beautiful! Keep up the good work and loving the podcast too!

[@damagedjokes5795]

[@MatsuoLano]

You sir, are a genius! Make sure you get crowned as King of the Geeks 😀

[@CosplayChris]

[@mgabbard]

The monocle was genius!

[@Galactic_Factotum]

I just recently learned those leather rivets and technique from Adam Savage's Chewie bandolier! damn good stuff

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Fred......all the best man.

[@Predatorhunter1010]

Thank you chris !!!

[@manko8852]

Wow the details on this are fantastic!

[@1carlsworth]

I thought the Storm trooper helmet you did was the best thing ever-....turns out this is the best thing I've seen- amazing

[@thommothommo1520]

Another great job mate. And now inspired with more great ideas, I'm off to the shops...Again.

[@CosplayChris]

Hahaha......Thanks Thommo.

[@finz377]

Probably my favourite custom collectable video

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Finlay......Cheers mate.

[@ApeReduction]

My word, that's incredible! One of my favourite custom collectibles to date for sure. :P

[@vonshill]

Not silly, just fecking awesome!

[@ocastanho621]

Incredible! very good!

[@graydation]

While I am not a fan of the whole "steampunk" thing... I think this is awesome and very educational in many ways when it comes to how to apply various finishes.

[@ampwyo98]

I always thought that a Viking darth vader would be so cool, and wacky. Just imagine Vader with like a wooky fur cape, and an empire symbol shield. We all know you got your hands full Chris with some amazing stuff, but that would be so amazing to see in the future, especially from you.

[@carloslara8756]

amazing Artoo custom excelent job I love u your vídeos send hugs bro.

[@CosplayChris]

Hugs Carlos....All the best.

[@Egoz169]

[@andrewbrooks6265]

I love your work, keep it up

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Andrew.....All the best.

[@traebundy4268]

Should do a steampunk CP-3O

[@randompat5772]

Do a Custom Collectible on the Star-Lord Nerf Blasters from Guardians of the Galaxy! The sculpt is definetly there, but they don't look movie accurate at all.

[@japelma3457]

PowerPro yeah awesome idea!

[@directorliam]

PowerPro yes he should

[@lgerback34]

Excellent idea.

[@jarryn8678]

PowerPro That would be awesome

[@meesmiddelkoop8327]

Yeah chris do that

[@keithboaz9065]

Another amazing piece Chris but I feel like you missed the opportunity to create tracks in the desert.

[@juliocesarsilva928]

Hi brother, I living in Brazil, great vídeo, congratulations !!!

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Julio......All the best.

[@slashem9032]

[@tobyinei3624]

I love this kind of sci-fi stuff please do more !

[@11green11]

really sweet work ! I am curious if you ever considered using bondo to fill and smooth over some of the plastic casting seams and screw holes on the models ?? Not a huge concern i'm sure but it would add to the overall appearance to your finished work :D

[@Rdogg23]

Masterful job!

[@CosplayChris]

Cheers Ryan...Thanks.

[@thespiritus4440]

Love your creativity man.

[@sporadicamnesic]

"Force it up in there" Said Obi Wan Quagmire....giggety

[@richr115]

Bender...great shirt and awesome work as always.

[@mclovin7326]

[@Yanasui_]

Mc Lovin yes, that would be awesome

[@marinahanlon7888]

Your a Jenius!!!!!!!!!

[@derfymen6537]

"Jenius" Lmao

[@otischallenges5053]

I am mclovin the Hawaiian organ-doner

[@ej5628]

WOW. sir, that's just amazing...

[@philipd1979]

hi Chris yet another amazing video and just love what you did with r2 😄😄😄

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Phil.

[@JDRIZZLE15]

Awesome work! I love steam punk. One idea though, since　R2 had been driving, you may want to add some tracks in the sand.

[@jimmyrayburn6997]

amazing job as per usual man

[@marc6340]

VERY nice! The only thing missing was the stovepipe hat!

[@PoshOldPigeonOddOnesOut]

love your work man any recommendations on painting texture fabric like adding a batflek texture on to a bodysuit

[@-trinity-8059]

Awesome! An amazing job Chris!

[@aussiecookies]

hey Chris, i was playing Gears Of War 4 recently and just realized that you look exactly like the main character JD and i think you should do a cosplay of him! only if you want to but i think that would look awesome! have a good one mate. :)

[@knockoutchicken6571]

the r2 d2 looks AWSOME

[@SuknHoffStudios]

I've seen a lot of your vids and i'm constantly amazed at how creative you are.. I am in awe man, goes to show that you don't need to spend hundreds of £'s / $'s to make something look so amazing and yet so unique. A true genius if ever there was one... Have fun, be silly and of course... Cosplayers do it best :)

[@PaulsChannel]

Wow it looks amazing

[@tomlevier3615]

Great video. I have to try those rust and patina paint kits!

[@bert12256]

Never been this early, great work chris

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Bill.

[@gavinyoder6694]

Nice profile pic bro

[@dadspartan627]

this is a great video I have just started moding nerf guns and have learned so much from you and your videos thank you very much.

[@Andrew-el8xi]

Brave move on that model it's not cheap! ! Really cool idea and looks great totally steam punked

[@DevinGart]

Amazing work!

[@hamtheman222]

Absolutely incredible!

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Sam.

[@silverfoxanimations2716]

R2D2 at the last of his days, trying to survive.

[@electricneel]

I think R2 having the C-3PO picture is just so adorable.

[@SpicyGrievous]

I'm gonna be at Supernova on Saturday - hopefully I can meet you but sad I'll miss seeing your amazing Pirate Batman on Sunday :(

[@mikeevan4808]

I love the vid and the bot good job 😊

[@sc_art5408]

Can you do something related to krennic? Or the death troopers

[@motionmadness16]

Diggin' your wallpaper Chris! XD

[@robertbakerii5469]

R2D2 has never looked so real!!! WOW

[@jakecole9468]

That looks awesome

[@CosplayChris]

Thanks Jake.

[@dan0017]

Hey Chris, next time the tape takes the paint off, embrace it and use it as part of your weathering rather than fixing or repainting. it's surprisingly effective and the washes take to the paint layer well.

[@tim9504]

Lol when you said, "STEAMPUNKING THE SH*T OUT OF IT!!!"

[@paulturner4684]

Looks like you were using full on masking tape there. If you don't already know, they make blue painter's tape that masks off just as well, but is far less grippy on freshly painted surfaces. Perfect for modeling or customizing

[@VitorDuzarte]

This is amazing! And i still haven't seen the final reveal.

[@SoraSimpleAndClean]

Chris needs to be sponsored by Rust because he always uses that paint lol
