Trash Bash Space Cruiser (188) made by upcycling plastic containers

#trashbash #kitbash #scratchbuild
On the bench today is a pile of plastic junk, Dollar Store trash, harvested electronic parts and random 3D resin printed bits that got printed but never used. In a radical departure from my regular diecast customs, I build my first trash bash space cruiser. I’ve enjoyed watching these types of videos on KZbin and thought I’d give it a try for a change of pace for me and for you, my viewers too. You’re watching me harvest parts, and figuring out how to glue things together and paint and weather a realistic looking spacecraft.

Just subscribed - from Michigan, United States - I started kit bashing way back in the 80s with my original Star Wars toys, now I still do it. I make speeders, swoop bikes, landspeeders and rail speeders, even a couple starships. This is an awesome build! May The Glue Be With You!

That is the most beautiful random assortment of garbage I have ever seen. This is the kind of stuff I wanna make I might try some hot wheels stuff once I can work on a smaller scale. you should be really proud of your work, I can’t wait to see more videos like this😊

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Aidan. In my opinion this is much easier than a Hot Wheels job. Those 1/64 cars are so small to get all the little details just right on. This is a much larger canvas and flying with no blueprint to begin with was the best part. Junk bits and glue and you're off! Have a great week, buddy. 🍁👊

That was a lot of fun Andrew and a wonderful escape from the little cars! That being said, there's one thing the little cars will always have over this type of build - ease of storage 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for taking us on this escape with you - much like the post apocalyptic builds, it's so much fun to see what can be created when people let their imaginations (and glue) run wild!

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Holy Smokes! You must have been one of the "Super Detailers" from 2001 a Space Odyssey. Fantastic space ship Andrew. By the way, I was the Chief Draughtsman at Godfrey Aerospace, which was purchased by Spar Aerospace (The folks who built the Canadarm). As an interesting aside, the Dean of Engineering at Centennial College, where I got my education, was an Engineer on the Avro Arrow project. He taught us one day, when our professor was sick. That was the best day of my college experience. Cheers 🇨🇦 🍁

looks great and properly ramshackle and thrown-together. :) great use of assorted tidbits and stuff. ^^ I think you started to grin at some point, when you saw somethign and knew it would go THERE. :) that canadian arm on the bridge bauble surely is there to pick up cosmic hydrogen to refuel a bit while roaming the outback, avoiding the regular patrol ships. :) and... "black highlight"? ain't that a paradoxon or two? this also made me think of the plastic trays inside a box of "Toffifee" toffees. thin, rounded, structured, and usually tinted gold like optical filters; I want to use them to create the top windows of a fabrication plant building, but I have no use for such... so, there. ;) there is this ancient german sci-fi series, "Raumpatroullie Orion", which was famous for using whatever they could find to make props, like using a futuristic clothes-iron to make the ship's manual control shifter... or plastic buckets for other stuff. but at least they had a tactical holo-display. Enterprise, take this! XD

@@MapleLeafCustoms do that, but watch your teeth, or else your favourite Dentist will have fun with you. ;)

I'm in Colorado, loving your style of kitbashing. I'd join, but I'll have to wait until I move into a place with more space

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

More space... I see what you did there! 🚀😂 I'm new at this type of thing, but had a great time. Always collecting bits and bobs for the next one! 🍁☕️👍

[@goatmealcookies7421]

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks for watching. More of this type of build to come! 🍁☕️👊

I just came across your channel I like it looks good

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Hi, Aaron. I'm glad you found my channel. I hope you'll enjoy the content! Have a great weekend. Greetings from Switzerland. 🍁☕️👊

[@timdaniels6044]

That turned out great, I need to try something like this. I'm in W. COLA SC

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Just gather up all the junk you've got and get some glue! Greetings from Switzerland. 🍁☕️👊

Watching from UK mate, that's a really bloody fantastic realistic spaceship!

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thank you! It was my first try at such a project. Cheers! ☕️👊

[@Lordrixson5489]

@MapleLeafCustoms I saw your video you posted yesterday, have you really gone? That would be a massive shame because you're a huge inspiration to myself and many others 👏🏼

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

@@Lordrixson5489 No, it's an April Fools video! I'm in it for the long haul! 🍁🍁👍

[@ricktedder4749]

Just quick tip when you're having to glue all these different types of plastic try flashing them with a blowtorch or open flame it seems to help. It was a youtuber that pointed it out I think it was bill making stuff channel

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Hi, Rick. Excellent tip. Thanks! I'm new to kit bashing, but I'll definitely be doing this trick on the next one. Always lots of glueing. Have a super day! 🍁☕️✌️

Interesting design. Parts made it. I'm in Tidewater VA.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks for watching and for the fine feedback. Greetings from Switzerland. 🍁☕️👊

This is an amazing ship.... Could easily have been a passing smuggler you see somewhere in a space or flying vehicle city scene through the course of Star Wars.... I think it looks super... Not to be messed with.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, Vic. It was my first try at this genre. Had a ball, and you can expect some more, here and there in the future. It was a nice diversion from the normal stuff I do. 🍁👊

[@centaur1a]

Well done on your first time in the “sci fi.” Just keep it simple.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Thanks, will do! Gathering bits for the next project. 🍁☕️
