I watch a lot of prop videos where something looks okay in the thumbnail, but when you watch the vid it looks pretty bad. THIS is OUTSTANDING!!! I am 100% glad I clicked on this vid. You did a fantastic job and should be very proud of your work!

Utterly astounding craftmanship!!!! It's at times like these you realise the 'like' button just isn't enough!

So much talent and hard work. Amazing. I actually prefer the after result of the baking soda reacting to the paint.

That is insanely good 😱 The metal is totally convicing, and the piston parts of hydraulics look totally real Wowsers Well done on the build- it's amazing 👏

Spectacular! Don't be afraid to modify your build, this is Sci-Fi not a museum piece. Now go lift the hood of your car, notice that some things are new and shiny like an oil filter because they get replaced every 3000 miles, other things get extra rusty because road salt splashes up there repeatedly. The FX guys over weather SW props for dramatic effect. If you want the six inch effects, then leave some parts new looking. Also consider that some oxidation will be white and green due to the base metal being aluminum or copper respectively.

If you would not have your 6 inch rule, I would not watch your making with these high interest. You are definitely one of the best creature builders here on you tube. You are a very skilled artist!

I've been a prop builder for over a decade and your videos always teach me some new technique to use. Awesome work! Keep making these videos!

Printing that whole thing in 10 days was definitely an achievement. I've just spent the last 4 days printing a single Westar35 on my P1P. I definitely need to learn to airbrush though, your finish with that is awesome, especially the weathering. Going to have to look back through your videos as I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of the droids that you've done as I've got an R5 sitting in my office that has been about 60% complete for the last 2 years, so this might give me the push I need to finish it!

Yay! Glad to hear the sander has worked out for you. I get it. I have a couple of projects that I went ahead and printed all of the pieces for and now I wish I hadn’t so that they could’ve been printed in a higher resolution/different filament to save me sanding time 😂

Haha, thanks! He’s actually been sitting finished since August but it took me until last week to get a chance to make Grogu and edit the video together.
