Enjoy!

Try frog tape when you want to paint a part of the item. From what I've heard, it won't leave a sticky residue and it comes off clean.
That trick you did at 17:00 proves how much of a genius you are. Chris you seriously need to get into the movie industry, you could make props professionally no problem.
what trick?
Golden Assassin i hate you
He needs a top hat
Chris you are just nuts. How are you not working in Hollywood?
Hey Sam the man I'm trying.
Cosplay Chris don't move to Hollywood stay in Australia
I'm floored by how awesome this came out. Such a cool idea!
Should do a steampunk CP-3O
Jaw dropping detail as always...... hell of a job Chris......
Thanks Alan.
I'd like to see another one of these but maybe a slightly battle damaged custom astromech that we haven't seen before like what one you'd get if they real things
Wow Chris! Top notch..good way to think outside the box! Very nice indeed.
Thanks Shannon...
When I first started watching I thought this was going to be too goofy to be cool, but it's amazing. And apart from the monocle, I can see a Star Wars story set 1,000+ years after the original trilogy where an R2-D2 like this would make sense. Great work, yet again!
Amazing transformation of such a beloved hero! Your work is outstanding. Not just from a surface level but the storytelling aspect of these kinds of projects is creative and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing your work. Great job mate!
Lovely idea of the pocket watch too! Who's the artist? Maybe a mention of the artist in the description. Cool inspirational piece!
Warner thanks mate for your kind words...All the best.
Chris, this is Bloody awesome!! R2-D2 looks great. that rust and patina spray is a great idea
One of the best takes on R2-D2. Love it!
I love checking my subscription box and seeing these
York Altanin 👍
You honestly have no idea how excited I get when I see one of these in my subscriptions 💖
Thanks Josean...All the best.
A fan all the way from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷💖 haha
Omg Chris, these custom collectibles just keep getting better and better! this R2D2 looks so badass!
Thanks Sam...really appreciate your support.
WOW! Great job Chris! Love your videos, please keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the support Tim......All the best mate.
You truly know your crafting and you're even an artist at it!
It's amazing how much creativity this Guy has! Keep making these AWESOME vids!
i have never seen a channel so creative with great ideas good on u chris
Thanks Star...appreciate your support.
You sir, are a genius! Make sure you get crowned as King of the Geeks 😀
Hahahahaha thanks mate.
awesome work yet again mate. i love watching the stuff you go.
always picking up amazing tips from your videos.
I didn't even know clear primer was a thing. That's pretty awesome.
Not a steam punk fan but I am a fan of your work. Well executed, looks superb!
While I am not a fan of the whole "steampunk" thing... I think this is awesome and very educational in many ways when it comes to how to apply various finishes.
Hey Chris you should make a custom collectables playlist. it would be way easier to find vids!
Will Yates agreed
Will Yates ive had to make one of my own. but yh it would be great
Yes please
DerBeff it happened
Do a Custom Collectible on the Star-Lord Nerf Blasters from Guardians of the Galaxy! The sculpt is definetly there, but they don't look movie accurate at all.
PowerPro yeah awesome idea!
PowerPro yes he should
Excellent idea.
PowerPro That would be awesome
Yeah chris do that
Love the wacky wierd concept of r2 d2. Keep up the great work Chris 😁😁
Congrats man!! Pure professionalism 👍🏻👍🏻
Epic thanks man....all the best.
Probably my favourite custom collectable video
Thanks Finlay......Cheers mate.
As always outstanding work man. This has got to be by far my favourite custom collectibles you've done 👏👏👌👌👌. true inspiration man! as always keep it up!
Thanks for the support Lee. All the best.
Not silly, just fecking awesome!
I always thought that a Viking darth vader would be so cool, and wacky. Just imagine Vader with like a wooky fur cape, and an empire symbol shield.
We all know you got your hands full Chris with some amazing stuff, but that would be so amazing to see in the future, especially from you.
Chris this was my one of if not my favorite custom collectible love the imagination, and this one was extra special because you went above and beyond with the creativity, steam punk R2 came out great, keep up the great work!
Thanks Dan.
Wow that steampunk R2 is awesome! You have an amazing talent, along with an awesome imagination!
The monocle was genius!
Another amazing piece Chris but I feel like you missed the opportunity to create tracks in the desert.
I just recently learned those leather rivets and technique from Adam Savage's Chewie bandolier! damn good stuff
I love all of the toy and prop customizations you do! Keep them coming! I've actually learned a lot from watching you and tried out some of the techniques you use. Great stuff!
Awesome creation as always 😀
Love this, now I'll try it out on my 3' 1996 Talking R2D2 (purchased a second time since '98) 1st one stolen.
VERY nice! The only thing missing was the stovepipe hat!
This is so~oh A!W!E!S!O!M!E!
Great production , spectacular result !
Incredible! very good!
I thought the Storm trooper helmet you did was the best thing ever-....turns out this is the best thing I've seen- amazing
This is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris you are a bloody genius!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT! This is absolutely awesome. Great work dude. This is your best one yet!
Thanks Chuck...All the best mate.
probably my favorite collectable you've made so far!
Wow the details on this are fantastic!
WOW. sir, that's just amazing...
Hey Chris, next time the tape takes the paint off, embrace it and use it as part of your weathering rather than fixing or repainting. it's surprisingly effective and the washes take to the paint layer well.
Looks like you were using full on masking tape there. If you don't already know, they make blue painter's tape that masks off just as well, but is far less grippy on freshly painted surfaces. Perfect for modeling or customizing
I love this kind of sci-fi stuff please do more !
Most of your Custom stuff is badass but this one I think is actually beautiful! Keep up the good work and loving the podcast too!
I think R2 having the C-3PO picture is just so adorable.
Hi brother, I living in Brazil, great vídeo, congratulations !!!
Thanks Julio......All the best.
What !!!!!!!😲
I love what you do Chris, And I take example on you to create my customization.
you do just a great job man!
Thanks for all this videos
Thanks Fred......all the best man.
Thank you chris !!!
do you think you could make a steampunk Darth Vader?
Mc Lovin yes, that would be awesome
Your a Jenius!!!!!!!!!
"Jenius"
Lmao
I am mclovin the Hawaiian organ-doner
amazing Artoo custom excelent job I love u your vídeos send hugs bro.
Hugs Carlos....All the best.
Another great job mate. And now inspired with more great ideas, I'm off to the shops...Again.
Hahaha......Thanks Thommo.
This is bad ass!! You are inspiring me to do some stuff like this for my significant nerd (aka my husband)
Wow I was actually looking for a paint that does this effect. Looks very cool!!! Keep it up
"Force it up in there"
Said Obi Wan Quagmire....giggety
R2D2 has never looked so real!!! WOW
Wow!! :D Again amazing work 👍🏼👌🏼
every-damn-time everytime you amaze me more and more Chris. You deserve so much more attention then you are already getting. Please keep amazing us, keep us say "wow how did he come up with that?!" Keep "doing it best"
cheers
Hey Christiaan thanks for the support - All the best.
Cosplay Chris Chris can you please tell me the name of the song at 20:08
the stuff you do is absolutely amazing! I've never done anything like this before but I really want to try it, thanks for inspiring me! keep up the great work
Da give it a go...Good luck.
Even if you do plan on priming it, it's always best to rub the whole thing in some steel wool in order to give the paint something to grab to. Paint hates to stick to glossy plastic.
Very nice work Chris!!
This R2D2 is a feast for the eyes.
The octopus looks like a hydra emblem
Thanks Goliath.
Any time!!
Wow it looks amazing
Amazing work!
Bender...great shirt and awesome work as always.
My word, that's incredible! One of my favourite custom collectibles to date for sure. :P
Great job dude freakin wicked!!
Thanks Scott.
HOLY CRAP YOU ACTUALLY RESPONDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I thought you were some pompous ass LOL
But totally wicked AWESOME you replied!!!!!!!! Anyway that's about as "fan" boy I go since this is in comment second. Email different story hahahaha
Love your creativity man.
He's the best at what he does, and what he does is pretty.
hi Chris yet another amazing video and just love what you did with r2 😄😄😄
Thanks Phil.
The bandolier looks very Witcher inspired because in the games Geralt carries 3 potions across his chest. Also the sphere filled with dirt looks like a witcher bomb. I guess Roach will need a two seater saddle from now on.
Awesome work! I love steam punk. One idea though, since R2 had been driving, you may want to add some tracks in the sand.
the r2 d2 looks AWSOME
some advice, a lower tack masking tape would have prevented the paint coming off (although it ended up looking quite good) and could have done with some tracks sculpting into the base, but again we could imagine the winds blowing, he's stood still and they've blown away, inspirational work as usual :)
p.s. made me think a white medical version of k-2so would look cool as well as a c3p0 style gold one :)
I love your work, keep it up
Thanks Andrew.....All the best.
If you can get your hands on some of the blue or green masking tape, go with that instead of the cream colored tape. You'll have a better time. :)
Awesome! An amazing job Chris!
Nice job 👍
Brave move on that model it's not cheap! ! Really cool idea and looks great totally steam punked
Can you do something related to krennic? Or the death troopers
I'm gonna be at Supernova on Saturday - hopefully I can meet you but sad I'll miss seeing your amazing Pirate Batman on Sunday :(
Masterful job!
Cheers Ryan...Thanks.
THE PICTURE OF C3-PO JUST KILLED ME, A W E S O M E!
hey Chris, i was playing Gears Of War 4 recently and just realized that you look exactly like the main character JD and i think you should do a cosplay of him! only if you want to but i think that would look awesome!
have a good one mate. :)
I wouldn't be surprised if you get hired by Hollywood one day.
I like how when ever he does "trial and error"... there is NO ERROR! IT WORKS EVERY TIME!
Masterpiece.
I'm crying here.
Too good! You kill it every time, Chris :D
Never been this early, great work chris
Thanks Bill.
