Citadel Paint Bot
Рет қаралды 7,952
Күн бұрынI took an old Citadel paint pot and made a robot from scratch. One of my viewers recommended I make a bot from an old Citadel paint pot, the paint pot definitely has the shape of a robot so why not. I scratch built most of this bot from wood and polystyrene. There's one or two other bits from a Gundam and Star Wars action figure.
Woodworking is not a solid skill of mine so I learned a few things along the way. With a custom paint job and some articulation in the arms and waist this Citadel Paint Bot turned out pretty cool!
I hope you enjoy this custom toy build video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

Great build...but maybe a missed opportunity? A bot made from a paint pot could be holding...a paint brush or mini spray can. Tagger bot, courtesy of Citadel. Paint splatters on the body from all the previous work it had done, so many cool possibilities. So maybe the next one? Or, when I someday finish that pot of Athonian Camoshade I'll make one. Great video, as always!🖌🖖

I’m not really a woodworker, but I love crafting with wood and I think it’s really cool the results you get when you use wood for products. (I’ve mentioned how much I admire your stick-to-it-ness before, but I screwed up a step on my project and was ready to abandon it, but I was literally like “What would Dr. Toys do?” I mean, I cursed it up and down first and then went into problem solving mode. I think I fixed it.)

It would be kinda neat if you kept it as a functioning vessel for a wash or thinner or something you dip brushes in. That way it can be a part of the process all the time. Like a novelty coffee mug, only for a crafter.

Great job. Such solutions have great potential. If I may advise - use other wood (f.ex. birch, poplar, linden) because pine may crack (this was pine, yes?) - and small elements impregnate with cyanoacrylate :) This is nice style, of course. Try to find Jakub Różalski paintings, I think you will like them. Greetings :)

I went back and forth on that. I was thinking if he was in a snow environment it would be white for better camouflage, but I totally see your point. I still have a few things I would like to do to this so I may update that. Thanks.

I think it came out pretty cool as always. That was good luck with the hands and wrists. But you were sure having problems with those hips. I was surprised you decided to sand the hips down when they touched the body, I thought you would have glued a piece of styrene or a piece of popsicle stick to the pelvis rather than take the chance of messing up the hips again. But in the end it all came out awesome.
