Let's Make a Plane From Trash

[@asthmaticmonkey1]

As a WWII aviation nerd, this build is right up my street. Brilliant.

[@DRToysCreations]

Awesome thanks!

[@BPCustomCreations]

Wonderful little plane!

Awesome work as always my friend..👍

I dont know if kids still have imaginations anymore, but this woudl be a cool little toy line. Chibi bulbous planes with a little pilot inside.

[@DRToysCreations]

I always hope kids will find this and get inspired to build cool stuff. Thanks

[@dv8smr]

I've been saving recycle items for months, with the intention of doing exactly what you do on this channel, before I even ran across your work. Since I haven't started my projects just yet, naturally my family and friends thought I was becoming a crazy hoarder, saving my trash. lol Thanks to you, I was able to prove my sanity by showing them what I'm really doing. I just hope my stuff comes out as well as yours. Cheers.

[@DRToysCreations]

I love that! My neighbor now asks me if I want his trash that he thinks looks cool! 🤣 How cool/ crazy is that! LOL

[@dv8smr]

@@DRToysCreations That's awesome, I love it. Once you start, it's like it gives you special vision. You start looking for and appreciating the shape of everything, and the basic materials most things are made from. Plus, it's a purely positive thing to be doing. It's one less thing headed to a land-fill, becomes something a collector or kid will enjoy, and creates a way to make a little money as an artist. Of course, the greatest part is, parts are free. When you can make something valuable out of trash, to me, that's the highest on the accomplishment scale. It's inspiring to see your work, and know it can turn out that well, if you know what you're doing.

[@landenoba5581]

I'd love to see more of these WW2 inspired spaceships! Thanks for the great content, it looks awesome!

[@thomrade]

A great tip I got for blending in decals when they look too clean is to take a bit of your base colour (the oregano green) on a bit of torn sponge and dab very lightly on the decal after it's applied, it'll make it look worn and blend it in with the paint. Absolutely fantastic build too, very Studio Ghibli and it reminds me heavily of Metal Slug too!

[@DRToysCreations]

Great tip! Thanks 🙏

[@lofiworkshop]

Welcome back! Another fun flyer. Great work on the plane. I love the cockpit detail and the antenna. I see the Miyazaki feel for sure.

Bizarre! But I love it. keep making weird things!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks, will do!😃

[@wayneswonderarium]

Get yourself some step drills - they help a ton when performing sketchy maneuvers like drilling towards your hands 😅 also twist drills spin all wild because they bite into the material. Step drills prevent such events by virtue of their geometry Love the outcome!

[@DRToysCreations]

Yeah, I saw Adam Savage using them and I totally need to get some! Thanks 🙏

[@wayneswonderarium]

@@DRToysCreations I saw them used with thin metal, and tried it myself to great success... No whirly sheet metal death 😅 on plastic even the cheap harbor freight or princess auto options should work great!

[@DRToysCreations]

[@auntal3482]

Great kit-bash. Thanks

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidwarren9204]

Great model, nice job. A cheap step-drill is the thing for drilling large holes in sheet/thin material. You'll have much better control - they don't 'pull' themselves into the hole like regular spiral drills do.

[@DRToysCreations]

Good call! I just saw Adam Savage talking about these. Definitely need to get some!😃

[@earlware4322]

Fantastic little plane/space ship Dave!! I love the rivits and angled wings, it gives me steong vibes for a line of modela from the 70's -80's based off cartons. (They were similar to Rat Fink kind of designs, but other vehicles instead of just hot rods.) I do have to worry about the pilot's visibility though, he'd have to rely on his sensors to know what is directly ahead of him. Also, landing that thing has to be an amazing feat! 😱

[@DRToysCreations]

😂 I say he has a full screen display like in a Tesla.😂 And landing… we’ll, that’s his problem not mine!😂😂😂

[@Alwyn_Nito]

4:15 melt/sand the tiny bump a little bit to catch the drill tip (?) but wait for it to cool, you should buy a tiny brush for washing your finger nails and palm prints of plastic dust

[@DRToysCreations]

I get it. The more I do this I realize my brain sees the world a little differently than everyone else’s. 😂

[@PearlJam2k6]

I like the simplicity of it, has a very Metal Slug vibe to it with the chunky proportions. One thing i would've added, is another "railing" around the glass of the cockpit itself in the classic fighter plane H-shape (like two lines across, and one connecting), so it looks sturdier instead of one huge glass dome. Quick tip, from personal experience, if you use thread, always add it after priming. Thread tends to gorge up on paint and looks messy sadly :( Either that, or use fishing line that'll just coat evenly and that you can repaint after (or even scratch off if you want to keep it clear)

[@DRToysCreations]

Great point on the cockpit. Funny that you mention the string, that’s exactly what happened to me, so I ripped it off and added a new one at the end.😅 Thanks
