DIY Star Wars Custom Scratch Built Walker - from Recycled Packaging

I wanted to make some kind of custom Walker but when I started I had no idea it would end up a Star Wars inspired walker. This custom scratch built Star Wars Walker is made from bits of Lego Bionicle parts and recycled packaging and a few Final Faction bits.
For my diorama I took inspiration from Boylei Hobby Time who does amazing work! I was even able to throw a few Stormtroopers in my Star Wars Walker build! : )
I hope you enjoy this custom DIY Scratch Build!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, have a great one!

It still made the fart noises for little while and laugh so hard as the dog broke it apart. It was the funniest memories and the dog was fine. He just had to much fun and I also laughed the afternoon. It is funny seeing a dog rip a stuffed animal that makes fart noises.
