Let's Make a Ship From Trash

  • I found a little model kit pilot and an eye drop bottle that was trash and thought it would be cool to make a scratch build/kitbashed trash ship. I kitbashed some model parts, gundam bits and other trash bits I've collected to put this together. This kitbash trash build came together pretty easy and with a little custom paint and some weathering I think it came out great.
    I hope you enjoy this toy customization kitbash video!
    Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

    Great kitbash. Simple but something I could see flying around in an old Heavy Metal comic.

    Be even cooler to sneak in a tiny LED to glow inside the green shell. That would be cool. Maybe if you find a more colors you can make a whole fleet

    In older editions of 40k, GW actually gave instructions on how to build a land-speeder from a deodorant bottle. I myself am old enough to remember when they recommended making home-made terrain out of cardboard as a way to save money. Oh they were different times :D

    First time checking out your videos, and this one was an impressive trash-to-treasure build. Gotta say I miss the olive-drab wings and the stenciling on them, all-silver lost a bit of the character, but that's about the only thing I'd do differently. Inspiring mini-build!

    It has a real 50's futurism vibe. A thing I find missing from a lock of scrapbuilt model ships is panelling and having the aerodynamic exterior compromised with extensive greebly usage. Realistic space ships wouldn't have core components and circuitry exposed or really anything that wasn't integral to function, modern ships in our world are mostly smooth and seamless looking, but up close are riddled in panelling and formed smaller patchwork-like parts. In the case of the ship made here, it looks as though the ship is a single metal form with glass cockpit. Carving in some groove lines to suggest depth between panels, or layering over thin sheets of film or paper to paint over can do wonders for breaking up the smooth body of scrap-built ships.
