$5 DIY SCI-FI BLASTER CHALLENGE! DOLLAR STORE BUILD

[@ClintCarneyCreates]

Great job on the build and video buddy! I had a blast (pun fully intended) working on this challenge with you!

[@createscifi]

So much fun my friend! Looking forward to the next one!

[@mandoky1647]

@@createscifi You guys should do a sci fi rifle :)

[@TorontoJon]

What I love is both blasters have that "lived in" look. Both have a sense of history and tell a story. One could easily see either blaster in a sci-fi movie or TV series. Both Anthony and Clint have shown us how the possibilities are endless with the only limitations being one's imagination. Very inspiring indeed, gentlemen! :)

[@createscifi]

Glad to hear that !

[@saudade969]

Clint's looks more military while Anthony's looks more civilian use. Like the HK VP70

[@createscifi]

Agreed!

[@mudokin]

both really cool guns,

[@chesslover8491]

Lesson: everything can be saved with a great paint job. Very nice!

[@createscifi]

True that :)

[@Forcemaster2000]

They came out very different. I liked them both!

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@Rynax-]

This was great! Yours looks like it came from Ratchet and Clank, Clint's looks like it came from Fallout. I love them both! Would love to see more of these challenges :)

[@createscifi]

hahah nice

[@chaotic_goodness]

That's got a serious Flash Gordon 1980 vibe! You hit it with the metallic gold and I could hear the soundtrack's guitar riff going off somewhere in the distance. Very cool build.

[@TorontoJon]

What a perfect description! YES! Anthony's blaster totally gives off 'Flash Gordon' (1980) vibes (or 'Mars Attacks!' or 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' or 50's sci-fi vibes). Yes, the Queen and Howard Blake soundtrack for 'Flash Gordon' is playing in my head. :)

[@createscifi]

I was thinking Buck Rodgers too LOL !

[@BongoWongoOG]

OMG Buck Rogers. Haven’t watched that since it was originally on TV back in the day. Must go seek out an episode or three…

[@chaotic_goodness]

@@BongoWongoOG I recommend Season 1, Episode 5 "Vegas in Space." If any episode serves the vibe of the time, it's that one.😁

[@BongoWongoOG]

@@chaotic_goodness Thank you. I’ll definitely look that one up 👍

[@aaron2709]

Love the retro vibe.

[@createscifi]

me too :)

[@TheDarkBlackSmith]

Love It ! Need to make me some Blasters again.

[@createscifi]

Yes do !!!

[@TheDarkBlackSmith]

Ok ! I will come back once I have @@createscifi OK ! I will come back once I have ^^

[@createscifi]

Yes! Mine is Low Cost - High Impact

[@WernerKaffl]

Yay, as usual, great job. Love both guns.

[@createscifi]

right on

[@garystaud5022]

The stock gave C!Inc's the nod. I wish you'd have somehow kept the bent strainer handle, either as the trigger guard (below), or even curving back on the top. Both are fantastic!

[@TorontoJon]

Awesome! I love blaster mashups and starship mashups. In fact, I can't visit a dollar store or thrift store these days without thinking of imaginative possibilities as Anthony has demonstrated so many times here on his createscifi channel. :)

[@createscifi]

so true

[@TorontoJon]

We need a sequence showing Anthony and Clint armed with their custom blasters standing back to back for a duel and then marching ten paces from each other before firing. That would have been fun to see. Haha! All the best, fellas, and thanks for inspiring us with your incredible DIY sci-fi blaster builds. :)

[@createscifi]

Love that idea LOL

[@michaeldumas9203]

This is awesome!! I love the way both came out. You should do more challenges like this. Your blaster builds are amazing, but the computer you did with the word processor was EPIC!!

[@createscifi]

thx!

[@briarheart8028]

Yet another wonderful video from the master maker himself.

[@createscifi]

too kind !

[@The_Skwerlmaster]

The results from both of yours remind me of Ralph Bakshi animation vs something from Buck Rogers. I love it

[@createscifi]

Wizard!

[@TorontoJon]

Wow! Both blasters look amazing with Anthony's blaster looking right at home in 'Mars Attacks!' or 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' with its wonderfully retro, comedic appearance while Clint's blaster would suit the worlds of 'The Chronicles of Riddick' or 'Firefly' or any 'Star Wars' movie with its makeshift "lived in" characteristics. Well done, gentlemen, and I'm glad both of you survived your duel and left the field of battle with honour. :)

[@ClintCarneyCreates]

Thanks so much!

[@TorontoJon]

@@ClintCarneyCreates, my pleasure, Clint, and I liked your video too. I'm a new subscriber to your channel as of several minutes ago, so I'm looking forward to watching your other DIY build videos. :)

[@createscifi]

me too :)

[@thetastywhale]

This blaster definitely goes "ZAPP!"

[@createscifi]

LOL it does

[@cynicalmamc]

I think Clint's is more retro Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon and yours is definitely more cartoony. A fabulous interpretation of The Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator as used by Marvin the Martian, or it's a Nuka Cola blaster from Fallout, It's great ether way as ever and I salute you sir 👍

[@createscifi]

yes Marvin !!! that was in my mind

[@seanmeadows129]

Just watched your video and then watched Clints. A great contest from you gentlemen, great builds and thanks for all the enjoyment and encouragement you both gave us.

[@createscifi]

Thanks !

[@DarrenLandrum]

I just bought your book. I should be receiving it on Monday.

[@createscifi]

Thank you so much !!! I hope you enjoy it

[@pedromimoso8804]

Nice! 👍👍👍 The Temu idea isn't bad st all!

[@createscifi]

I am leaning toward it :)

[@TheMichaellathrop]

Have you ever thought about either buying a toy makers lathe, or following one of the tutorials for one of the drill powered ones? when you were talking about wanting to use the handle wires from the spider as a sort of an art deco hand guard I thought that that would have been the perfect tool to cut down soap dispenser by the half inch or however much it was too long by.

[@createscifi]

great idea

[@mandoky1647]

One channel ill never unsub to ever :)

[@idiotluggage]

Really cool idea to buy the same part and see what everyone does with them. I like that you keep your ideas in the video even if you don't use them.

[@andrewjohnroberts9113]

I love this idea.

[@Loki-and-Thor]

Awesome video and I am always amazed at how your ideas come to fruition. Have you ever challenged each other to create something from items that you have picked for the other person?

[@createscifi]

Good idea

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

I'd love to see what you would do with an old bread making machine from Goodwill!

[@BongoWongoOG]

Hi Anthony. What a great contest. I'd love to take part in this for sure. Its very difficult to separate the two builds. one is fun and rounded, the other military and sharp. On a coin toss I'll give it to ... , sorry ... Clint. Is there footage of his build? Thanks for the continued fun.

[@ClintCarneyCreates]

Thanks so much! My build is on my channel if you'd like to see how it came together. 🙂

[@createscifi]

yeah check out clints channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4PXfWuBiNxsf5Ysi=DE5aZyT-jxXXsVv9

[@BongoWongoOG]

@@createscifi oh done that Anthony, thank you, and I’ve subscribed to his content too.

[@TioMostFrio]

You should get into aztecing with your new fancy laser to cut some vinyl. Would be sick and you wouldn’t need to be precious after that

[@createscifi]

such a good idea

[@TioMostFrio]

@@createscifi if you do it please please leave us a file for the community to use. Might even be a cool Patreon perk.

[@RevvyTone]

I like them both, but like you the stock adds something. BUT they both could fit in the same retro universe- yours to me isn't as cartoony as you think, at least to me. While I was watching I had a couple ideas of how to do challenges (though the temu list idea is cool) there's a "Big Bot Battle" challenge going on in the tabletop minitures youtube community hosted by Bill of "Bill Making Stuff" what he did is drew up a D&D style character D-20 chart where there were 20 adjective based variable for each attribute (Heads, arms, weapons, legs etc as well as one represent "Flavor" - like Shney sci-fi, retro future, post apoc) and each participant rolled a 20 sided die for each, then did a video building their bot based on what they rolled as well as coming up with a narrative... You could do that for blasters, ships, really anything. The other idea I had was you could set a rule like- you have to use an object or part of an object from each of these aisle- Dollar stores are all pretty much generic at least in how they organize stuff... so it could be something like 1 object from each of these aisles party supplies, toys, autmotive/hardware, electronic accessories, office supplies, kitchen/household and food/beverage (probably packaging) This was a fun video.. Good job as usual

[@createscifi]

great input !

[@gigaphonicon]

So as far as the Aztecing stuff goes since it is hard to find might I suggest finding the pattern for it and cutting it out of vinyl with a cricut machine? That would probably work great and you can get vinyl from the dollar tree also. Such a great source for so many things.

[@Gabrong]

you didn't shoot it!

[@createscifi]

I know :( LOL next time

[@MiamiMillionaire]

I like it and I love these kind of dollar store videos, but the best thing is that I can now watch another video like this 😁👍

[@createscifi]

true that!
