[@danielaatgracr9082]

This mans the Bob Ross of model making, he is so chill to listen to but you can still here enthusiasm

[@DRToysCreations]

😃 You're too kind. Thanks for watching!

[@danielaatgracr9082]

@@DRToysCreations you don’t need to thank me for watching, it’s my pleasure!

[@maxbrandt6]

It does look very much like Chopper from Rebels, now with legs!

[@DRToysCreations]

Your right, even the hight of the body is about the same! 😀 Thanks for watching!

[@jerrybailey5797]

That is a fantastic little droid packing a great cannon 👍 awesome job 👏👍

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks. This is one of my favorites.

[@Bubblestheghost]

I’m currently spiraling down scratch build rabbit hole, and this video is so inspiring! Can’t wait to start my first robot.

[@DRToysCreations]

That's awesome to hear! Glad I could inspire you a little! 😀

[@cernstormrunner7263]

I've been wanting to do something like an R2 out of an Advil bottle for a while now - glad i saw this!

[@DRToysCreations]

I highly recommend you do it! It was a lot of fun and with the shape of that bottle you kinda have to! 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@roberthanna4882]

Great build. I keep getting a Chopper vibe from the Advil bottle.

[@nohandle498]

The toy story skull brought the whole thing together at the end. Absolutely love it

[@DRToysCreations]

😄 Thanks.

[@rwilcox_71]

This may just be the build that gets me into doing this! I freaking love it! Going to start stockpiling greeblees....er......greebles? So much fun! I love watching you work and hearing your thought process! Thank you for sharing your creativity!

[@DRToysCreations]

I love hearing that! You got this!😃👍

[@occamsrayzor]

I just discovered your channel, and as an inveterate scratch builder myself, I'm loving your work

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks so much!

[@DavidBaral]

This was a great video idea, I love watching the process from start to finish and seeing how your ideas start to formulate along the way!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks man!

[@1970actionroger]

👍 I enjoyed this video. Was hoping you'd add some Star Wars arms to this robot. 🤔 That would have been interesting.

[@DRToysCreations]

That would be cool!

[@alessiodecarolis]

An incredible work, you could try to make a mold of the legs, so you've a standard pair for various bodies!

[@DRToysCreations]

I never done mold making before... it's a little intimidating but definitely on my to do/learn list! 😀

[@chanelvuitton1909]

Only YOU could take an old Advil bottle and turn it into something cool 👍🏻 Great job!

[@DRToysCreations]

😊

[@fracturedfingers]

That turned out so cool!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks!

[@Mike_Jones1980]

I've been eyeing up an Aleve bottle that the wife brought home for just this reason. Nice work. I'm gonna check out the rest of the channel.

[@DRToysCreations]

Thats awesome... as soon as I saw the bottle I knew I had to do something with it!!! The only problem was we hardly use it so it took soooo long to use it up to where I could have the bottle! 😂

[@patrickcook9199]

I could imagine this droid being used by the Bad Batch. LOL. Great video!

[@DRToysCreations]

That would be cool! 😂 I can't wait for that to come out!!!

[@Sazman]

I decided to look up kitbashing for items used from thrift/dollar stores and I came across a couple of your videos, but this is the one that made me subscribe👍🏼 this Droid turned out so great! I can imagine an army of these would be excellent to see! 💯 keep up the great work! Would love to see all your kitbashed toys featured in one video, like if you keep them displayed on a shelf or something!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks so much for watching. I repainting a Grogu (baby Yoda) Christmas ornament this week but I have an idea for another kitbash coming soon. I did do a toy room tour, but that is a good idea to do a video of my kit bashed creations... I'll see what I can do. Thanks for subscribing, i really appreciate it.

What kind of glue bottle is that? I like the thin nozzle, looks like it has great control.

[@DRToysCreations]

So those are glue applicator tips I got at Hobby Lobby.

[@anthonyshealy]

Great video! Will you please tell me where you got the precision tube for you glue bottle?

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks! 😀 I got them at Hobby Lobby back by the model glue.

[@anthonyshealy]

@@DRToysCreations Thanks for that answer! Right after I posted the question I saw your video on supplies needed to start building lol

[@traviss3913]

(As always) This is BRILLIANT!! I love this droid so much. I never noticed the shape of that Advil bottle before but you are so right it screams droid.

[@DRToysCreations]

It funny how packaging stands out when your looking for it. My wife was about to throw away a dental floss container and I saved it! 😂 I don't know exactly what I'll use it for but I have something in mind and when the time come I'll definitely do something with it! 😃 Thanks for watching!

[@traviss3913]

@@DRToysCreations Oh! oh! I pulled the innards of a dental floss container out recently. If you turned the insides vertical (of the brand I had of course) it had kind of a mechanical crane look to it with a wheel too (where the floss was originally wrapped around). I wrapped some .025" polystyrene rod around it to look like a cable and attached a hook to the end of it. I was making a Star Wars mechanics bay diorama with some rebel ships being worked on. The "crane" was a perfect addition to the rebel hanger bay mechanics shop. Dental floss to the rescue.

[@DRToysCreations]

@@traviss3913 Very cool, my floss was the freebie that the dentist gives out at a cleaning, it wasn't very cool inside but I check out a full size one for sure! Thanks

Do you ever put anything inside them to weigh them down or do they end up being pretty sturdy when you're done with them?

[@DRToysCreations]

Nope, thy are normally pretty sturdy although my Ramen Bot I had to glue him to a base because wanted him in a walking pose.😀

[@Chudders1982]

Fantastic build mate, very impressive. Only constructive criticism is I don’t think the golden colour goes with the overall gunmetal but overall an absolutely cracking little build.

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks so much. Yeah I kinda feel the same, it kinda makes it feel a little Steam Punk which is not really my thing personally. Thanks for the feed back I really appreciate it. Cheers.

[@aleccap5946]

I'd be very interested on how, arms and legs are made

[@DRToysCreations]

In this video I did walk through how I hade the legs. 😀

[@shawnj547]

Awesome job 👍

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks 👍

[@christiankremer9635]

Nice build! I am kind of late to comment on this video, but l noticed one thing: always drill the barrel of your gun out. It adds much more dimension to a gun when there is an actual opening on the end. (Oh, and that is a capacitor you put on the leg, not a resistor, but that is just me nitpicking)

[@DRToysCreations]

That's funny, I can't remember if it was on this vid but someone called out the drilling out the barrel thing and I do it as a practice now. Thanks so much for the feedback I do appreciate it. Cheers.
