Scratch Built Cargo Vehicle - Sci Fi

I wanted to make a little Cargo Vehicle that could fit into a sci fi universe. This was a pretty simple scratch build using some Gundam parts, polystyrene and other little bits from my parts stash.
I didn't have any solid ideas on how to build this Cargo vehicle so I just started creating and the end result wasn't too bad!
Not really sure if you could call this a droid or a bot so let's just call it cool! : )
I hope you enjoy this custom DIY Scratch Build!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, have a great one!

[@eiloccorb2797]

I would love to see you turn old electronics into bits. I can just imagine what you could do to an old walkman tape deck.

[@DRToysCreations]

What a great idea! Thanks.

[@soonersciencenerd383]

i did a lot things like that long ago. i didn't have $$ for $tar war$ toys, so i made them. lot of fun!!!

[@soonersciencenerd383]

i took 2 digital am/fm radio cassette players, took them apart, removed the cassette player parts, and put small speakers, and now, i have 2 digital am/fm radios! (checked online, they are expensive..)

[@Nosculptor]

Your scratch builds are very inspiring. I love these!

[@DRToysCreations]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

[@mohammedfouadal-laham9149]

It looks so AMAZING MAN! a round of applause please 👏

[@DRToysCreations]

you're to kind, thanks

[@earlware4322]

What a cool little delivery/courier bot, an awesome scratchbuild Dr! I love the color 💙 and all the details and painted accents work really well. Just the right amount of weathering to make it look used without being rusted out. I could definately see this little guy zooming by in the background of a Star Wars film. Great stuff, thanks for sharing, and keep on keeping on!!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thank you 🤗

[@wollibar5263]

Another fantastic little project, I do like your work a lot, thank you very much

[@DRToysCreations]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kickingforchrist]

That turned out great! Love the aesthetic I can easily see this in Star Wars running secrets to rebel bases....Man if you ever write a novel about your droids I would be the first in line!

[@DRToysCreations]

😂 If I wasn't horrible at writing! Maybe a kids book...😂

[@garybuettner7920]

Looks awesome! Amazing how intimidating you could make a bubblegum container look. Bravo!

[@DRToysCreations]

😅thanks.

[@p11_studios]

Dude, this looks sick! It’s been a while, glad to hear from you. Totally surprised, but already in love with this model

[@DRToysCreations]

Hey, thanks!

[@samanthaadams619]

What a piece of art! =D I like it a lot. As another commenter said, I too can easily imagine that just tooling around and doing it's thing in the background of a Star Wars movie.

[@DRToysCreations]

You're the best! thanks for the nice words. 😀

[@astrozombiac3535]

I definitely enjoy your energy man. Very positive and upbeat.

As a fellow builder, I have to say, this is simply absolutely awesome. Not to much, just like it has to be.. nice job mate.

Dr. Toys: I don't know know what I'm doing Me: you liar, you're making art and you know it!

😄It's funny, at the start I never really know what the end result will be but you're right I'm really loving this little guy at the end! Thanks.

[@portablecity]

I can't believe how great this one looks - you greebled and nurbed it up so good!

I've started building Xmas-village Stars Wars dioramas past couple years now and came across your channel looking for ideas. So far you've become my favorite builder, your ideas and delivery are relaxing and inspirational. Love your enthusiasm man, it's contagious!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks Erik, I really appreciate that! 🙏

[@chrisspain6023]

Im so impressed with your creations. The best part is you seem to enjoy your self so much. Im in spired to try. Ill start collecting bits

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks 🙏 I appreciate that. I do enjoy it and it’s amazing to share it with the community as well.

[@paulfuryes203]

You're so meticulous with your details it just makes them pop keep up the good work.

[@DRToysCreations]

Thank you so much! Some times that's my curse... I always want everything to be perfect but sometimes that's not possible. : )

[@platonicbuu7454]

I'll never stop telling you how underrated your channel is. You're my favorite builder. You deserve a million subs

[@DRToysCreations]

WOW, thanks! Yeah KZbin is a strange beast that I haven't figured out... So until that day comes I just keep plugging away, slow and steady! 😂

[@dannysrecreationalspace4947]

Nice build man, and I really like the idea of the sand! Good job, keep it up!

[@DRToysCreations]

Thanks a bunch!

[@GertjanDeGlas]

Hey man, just wanted to say I absolutely love your work! I recently got into scratch buidling (mostly terrain) through other content creators, and while their work is obviously and rightfully awesome, what makes you stand out from them is that your builds are just so clean and precise. Carefully cut out, precisely laid on, pristinely sanded. I really appreciate that!

[@DRToysCreations]

Awesome, thank you! I'm kinda OCD when it comes to that and I always want everything to be perfect. It's kind of a curse because reality is I can never get it perfect and I need to learn when to let it go. I appreciate that you noticed, I dont feel as crazy...😂

[@justindunlap1235]

That's awesome, you just inspired me to make a droid to load/handle munitions for my newest scratch built bomber project.

Anyone else remember Mark Kistler Imagination station? (I'm definitely dating myself) This feels like this would fit in all those drawings I did as a kid but as a grown-up. lol I just discovered the online world of scratch/kit bashing. It's nice to know I'm not the only person who hoards plastic and metal bits and bobs.

The cargo bot is hit by lighting and turns on. Its last objective is to deliver its cargo to someone. So it takes off across the waste land to find the person. After a long journey encountering many things along the way it finds who it is looking for, Just to find out he has been dead for a long time. It opens up to reveal that its cargo was something that could have stopped the end of the world if only it got their in time.
