I Made a Star Wars Landspeeder Rat Rod

[@scaleffect]

Killer build Dave, great concept! Thanks for continuing to be the most upbeat modeler on KZbin, always a pleasure to see your Star Wars creations.

[@DRToysCreations]

You’re too kind. I’m just a nerd having a blast and happy to share with this awesome community! 😃 Thanks!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks!

[@SeorkMaxx]

Always good to see a new build pop up, great job 👍

[@DRToysCreations]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@diyfireking]

How awesome, such a great work 👍👍

[@DRToysCreations]

Thank you so much 😀

[@johnkelley9877]

What a great build and restoration! It looks so much better and more interesting. Thanks for sharing this.

[@DRToysCreations]

My pleasure!

I have 16x A3 size deep plastic tubs in 4 drawer units - full of everything from kit parts to broken electronics, DIY bits and Christmas baubles... AND I still look out for more greeblies wherever I go.

[@DRToysCreations]

💯!!! It’s to the point where my wife will save me little containers and packaging if it looks cool!😂😂😂

[@paulosborne6517]

@@DRToysCreations Oh well, don't trade her in just yet, then... 😊

I think the difference between Garage Sales and Swap Meets are that GS are "Get rid of it" while SM are "Make a profit". Additionally, without pre-labeling the art of a good haggle is lost when the other person is checking trending eBay prices to change the price while they're speaking to you or changing the price after telling you because you showed interest in something. Personally, I'd rather arrive with a full trunk and leave with a full wallet then to return home with everything I brought with me, but that's my take. As for the speeder; it looks great! Wonderful job as always! Thanks for the great video!

[@DRToysCreations]

You’re spot on! Even yard sales have become hit or miss because there are those people who really like their stuff a lot and think it’s super valuable forgetting that at the end of the day they’re gonna drop everything off at the thrift store. Oh, another thing that drives me nuts is everyone assumes I’m gonna just flip it… Come on, can’t a guy just wanna have a ridiculous collection of old junkie toys!😂😂😂 Thanks so much for the watch, I always love reading your comments.

[@georgemartinez1720]

Yup SM people are Crazy over price I had to walk around the whole Big Cypress Swap till I found a deal

[@georgemartinez1720]

It used to be better before Evil Bay Collectors n Know the value Sellers think they know

[@MakinHicks]

Man I love the paint on this one. And it’s 1:18. Just love it.

[@GeohToy]

Love that haggling story, glad you got it in the end! It can be so disappointing when you find something cool at sale like that and the seller decides to give it some insane price based off the first eBay listing they see 🤣

[@DRToysCreations]

The thrift stores have gotten that way as well… kinda takes the fun out of the hunt.🥹

[@JimboFettsToyTomb]

Another amazing build!!!!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks again!

[@Dizzy27021986]

thats a super nice custom and the story from pasadena fleemarked is funny 😂

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks!

[@MichaelHeffner-ky6pc]

Dave, you knocked this build out of the park this is absolutely fantastic one of my favorite builds that you've done. Also it's very inspiring because I have an old speeder the exact same one just laying around and I was wondering what to do with it, thanks to you I'm going to rat rod it out.

[@DRToysCreations]

Yes!!! Do it!😃 Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TheLeadWillWalkTheEarth-4d4m]

Awesome build and great to see an old speeder like this get a re-fresh. Love the Rat-Rod style.

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks! It was super fun!

[@MA-CINEMA]

I love Star Wars landspeeders, but I also love your Badr landspeeder. It's so cool!👍 Badr's aged paint is inspiring and instructive. It's always fun to see your cool creations.

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks a bunch! 😃

[@jazzmusician46]

Hey Dave. Once again, a fantastic build. I love the weathering on this model. I love how you transform bits and pieces into one dynamic piece of art. You have a gift of turning simple things into beautiful works of art. Thanks once again Dave. Graeme 🇦🇺

[@DRToysCreations]

Thank you very much!

[@MTB214]

Interesting changes to the land speeder.

[@leflstopmotion]

Beautiful! Great job!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thank you! 😊

[@modelermark172]

It was only a matter of time before someone "Ratted-Out" a Landspeeder. All I can say is, it looks great, and would fit right in the "Star Wars" Universe! Great Job! 136th Like.

[@DRToysCreations]

😂 Thanks for the 136th like and thanks for always watching my videos. I really appreciate it!

[@jodezero]

Nice job. That came out looking great

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks!

[@danjones3009]

Nice!! Great fun project, David!! I agree with you about the Pasadena Swap meet but fun to go.. Have a great day!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks Dan! If I ever go again I will definitely go with a different mindset, and maybe in the fall when its cooler!😂 I was a fun experience for sure. Hope you had a blast at Comic Con!

I'm glad you like it! Thanks

[@garzilla7123]

Super Cool Build my friend, you can see the awesomeness in things and turn them into that awesomeness, that is freaking amazing. 😊 👍👍👍 ps: I think you need a customized Tusken Raider and Jawa to team up together in that ride.

[@DRToysCreations]

Ahhh yes!!! That’s the perfect crew for this thing! I’m sure I have those guys in a box of figures somewhere!😅 thanks!

[@garzilla7123]

@@DRToysCreations Cool glad you liked the idea. Be cool to see customize the a bit to fit in like a renegade Han and Chewy paring. 😁👍👍👍

[@emillioheredia6253]

I love your builds!! Hey In the future you should try and implement lights to your moc up builds!!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks. I do have some builds with lights I’m just not great at LED and setting them up.

[@kevinkeys3556]

Cool Build

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks

[@marsgarage8217]

Very cool..

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks

[@charlymacias5369]

Awesome! I'm planning to do something similar but more colorful, kind of hot rod aesthetic.

[@DRToysCreations]

Awesome! I just saw on IG someone did the landspeeder like the car from Smoky and the Bandits.😂

[@CamdenZeiler-np2ih]

You should make something with a simply orange lid

[@DRToysCreations]

That is a really cool shaped lid. I have a few in my bits drawer just haven’t found the perfect use yet. I’m sure it will hit me at some point.😅

[@GadreelAdvocat]

I'd like to see the land speeder from Pagodon made into production,

[@shanebevin6688]

Great build and a great storytime to go with it. I love the "You'll never find anything dad!" "Challenge accepted!". You should really go back and show the stallholders what you did with your $5 investment :)

[@DRToysCreations]

As soon as she said it my number one mission was to find something cool!😂 She’s to cool to watch my channel…😂
