Thrift Store Grab Bag Kitbashing Toys Challenge!

Visit my website: www.fordabble.... to find out more of what I do online and help support the channel!
After watching @DRToysCreations make so many wonderful things out of kitbashed toys I wanted to try my hand at something similar. With no idea in mind I set out to my local thrift store and snagged a "grab bag" of random toys to see what I could come up with! I had so much fun with this that I am definitely going to do it again!

Very cool! Has a bit of a Pacific Rim Jager feel and color to it, I dig it!

[@encouragingthings]

Thank you! It's interesting to have my work compared to something so complex, but I absolutely appreciate the comment!

[@obscurage]

Ohh this was a delightful video! The process of sticking pieces together and finding what's cool was very fun to watch! I experienced the feeling of excitement when there were fitting parts that produced a further idea. And just by watching this. 😂

[@encouragingthings]

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to convey the sense of intrigue and excitement while putting this together! Hopefully I'll be able to do the same in future videos for everyone!

this challenge is so creative

[@encouragingthings]

Thank you! I think it’s a great way to fuel the imagination and help get past those blocks to the normal processes!

[@williambrown319]

Looks awesome. One suggestion, get some detail brushes for the smaller spaces. Less overstrokes and brush strokes.

[@encouragingthings]

Thank you! As I’m still very new at hand painting I’m using a lot of “whatever I have laying about”. It works for the most part, but it’s still difficult to know what size brush to use in some areas. Just something I have to get better at with time. Of course, better equipment may also help.

[@miked6288]

That’s actually a pretty great idea for a custom challenge.

[@encouragingthings]

Thanks! I want to do another one, but sometimes finding a good bag of kit that isn’t a bunch of cars or similar can be difficult. I’m still looking though!

[@cerisekappes580]

Looks great 😊

[@encouragingthings]

Thank you!

[@J0hnnieP]

Interesting enough that I subscribe, so I can 'borrow' a few techniques for the dioramas I'm currently working on.

[@encouragingthings]

Thank you! I hope you find my other content helpful and interesting as well! I think we all “borrow” from each other here on KZbin so you’re more than welcome to use whatever you find!

kinda makes me think of a minion dreadnought lol

[@encouragingthings]

The new Banana Pattern Dreadnought!

[@mrdeschain2456]

Looks cool bro Love it and love the electronics, makes it work well.

[@encouragingthings]

Thank you! It was hard to fit all of it in, but it eventually got there!

[@misanthropichumanist4782]

What did you do with the kitty toy? 🤔

[@encouragingthings]

Good eye! I originally wanted the face and whiskers, but the screws had crusted into place and without the correct driver I had to cut the head off. When I had to cut the whiskers off I could only use them for a Doctor Robotnic style mustache so I had to ditch them. Last was the tail as I was going to use it as an antenna to fill a screw hole in the shoulder but it looked like a tentacle! So unfortunately the kitty did not get used. But now I have a tentacle and mustache parts!
