I have a static, blue Scrubber Droid, which was inspired by the Naboo Patrol Fighters. I'd seen countless yellow Scrubber Droids to go along with the Naboo Starfighters but never a blue one. I have a second storage bin masked off to paint yellow, that has been masked off for at least eight years. Now that Mando flys a metal color N-1, I'll have to make a metal colored Scrubber Droid.

I am a big fan of the "This is how I made something cool" videos because for me the creation process is often more fascinating than the end result. (which is really saying something given how epically awesome your projects turn out) But I have to say that the interplay between you and Bolts was so well done that I actually felt emotionally invested in the character and his relationship with you. You're an incredible maker, and quite the performance actor as well. Excellent work!

Sometimes it takes someone else's enthusiasm. I parked my hotrod before my son was born. Now 5, he was in the garage with me working on something and started looking under the cover. He was so excited that there was a "race car" (all cars with flames are race cars to a 5 year old) in the garage that he played in it for hours and talked about it to everyone for weeks. I rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump, filters, battery, bled the brakes, replaced front wheels and tires, redid the alignment, and cleaned everything up in about a month. We went for a "first" ride through the neighborhood today.

On this day May the 4th im in search of inspiration and it's source. Then just as I am about to give up hope and bring my search to an end that source presents itself and I am happy again. On this day we get to celebrate Star wars and with the help of two lovely presenters as a bonus I am reminded that star wars like the force it flows powerfully through us. As I sit and think about star wars and all of it's parts, I realise how much we all hold it dear in our hearts. So as I watch the latest video Il be reminded to build up my motivation and to start measuring, painting and cutting because I shouldn't waste my life and instead start building something out of nothing. May the 4th be with us.

Love it, what a great video. As a custom action figure creator I totally get where you are coming from. I start so many projects and don't finish them because I keep getting new ideas and starting them and so it goes on. But like yourself I go through my boxes and look at older projects again to rekindle the buzz from the first time I got the idea for the custom and I'm encouraged to finish them, one project at a time.

I know exactly what you mean about letting time and process be a thing when inspiration flows back and forth. It took me 6 months to finish a project that was supposed to be quick and easy. However disappointed at reasons for not finishing it on time , I loved what I created when I did finish it. And it might not have been what I wanted had I forced myself through it at once. Clearly, any delay was by design,…because Bolts is an enviable masterpiece. Awesome job Brian
