Diy: Upcycling An Old Spray Paint Can Into A Robotc

I had this old spray paint can laying around and I thought it would be fun to make a robot out of the spray can. This little guy ended up having way more personality than I expected and has quickly become one of my favorites upcycling builds!
In this DIY custom scratch build I will walk through the steps of how I took an ol spray paint can, a gachapon capsule, polystyrene and some wood stock. Oh, I even added some LED eyes!
I hope you enjoy this DIY toy customization scratch build video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...
"It's a great day to be a toy nerd!"

Have you ever watched the movie Robots? Robin Williams and Ewan MacGregor add their voice talents. This little guy immediately brought that to mind.

I absolutely love this. This style of robot hits just right. If you've ever seen the 1940s Superman cartoon "The Mechanical Monsters" or all the 1940s Warner Bros. cartoons with robots, that's the style that I love! I hope to see you build more robots, like this one. Great job!
