I Made a Robot From A Gum Container

Aside from being amazing gum this container is perfect for a robot! Just by looking at the shape I knew it had to be made into a custom toy Robot. I used some Gundam bits, Final Faction parts and the legs from a Funko Legion Titanfall. The shape of this Hubba Bubba gum container made the perfect body for this robot. I also added an LED light from a tea light for an added effect.
This was definitely another think through it as you go build and the end result turned out pretty cool!
Here's the link to "How To Use LEDs In A Custom Build - The Easy Way" I used on this Tic Tac Robot:
• How To Use LEDs In A C...
I hope you enjoy this custom toy build video!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

Those gum containers are famous in tabletop crafting circles. Most of us make generators out of them, since they look kind of like the field generators from Empire Strikes Back (Hoth battle). Makes a great robot. Very nice.

To my understanding, this is pretty much how most of the Sci-Fi designs in Star Wars and Star Trek were made- kitbashing random kits and bits together. When you consider that, I could really imagine your works being featured in Hollywood movies, among the most iconic designs!

[7:07] The spackle didn't stick because you need to sand the wood down. It creates a better surface for the spackle to bond to.

@dartmart9263 Жыл бұрын

Fantastic results! I’m inspired. On the base … I would have brushed on a layer of PVA or Mod Podge on the wood. Let it dry. Then, when it’s time to put on the spackle, or air dry clay, just put a drop (or two) of water to reactivate the contact surface, spread with finger to make it slightly tacky. Then apply the putty/clay, spread it out and proceed as normal.

@DRToysCreations Жыл бұрын

I normally use Mod Podge in my builds but I thought that would be faster…😂 Part of the journey.

3:38 - just in case you didn't know, the reason the tamiya doesnt stick them to the hubbabubba container is because the tamiya isnt actually a "glue" its a styrene solvent, it works by melting polystyrene based plastic and then evaporating leaving the plastic welded together. The pink container isnt styrene based so it won't work with it, you have to use something like superglue which is an actual glue

I haven't seen those containers since the 90's, that really brings me back! Great build, i need to find me some of these too. I feel like this could also make for a fun spaceship or drop pod build, that square part could make for a fun little window for the pilot to look trough and if you pop it open you could make some nice internal detailing into the container itself to look at as an easter egg. Imagine if we were allowed to break down our toys and knew we could make our own with the parts back when we were kids. Sid from Toy Story wasn't a bad guy, he was a visionary!

I totally loved your work, it was really cool and was very like to the dystopian concept of machine warfare, your art reminded me of the game Metal Slug too. In my opinion I would remain only put some yellow bands on the back of the robot, at the place of tank, behind the machine, so it would seem it carrying the fuel (like the danger bands on Monsters S.A screaming cylinders).

Rocks aren't grey. The basic minerals might be, but they're going to be influenced by the surrounding ground, either because they are made from the same minerals as the surrounding sand, or because they've gotten dirty or dusted by the surrounding soil over time. Grey rocks appear more in high elevations or areas of dense vegetation.
