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.
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
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!
You give me so much inspiration! To take something normally seen as garbage and turn it into a fun, creative, beautiful piece of art. Please keep creating! I want to keep watching these.
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.
The Hulky , Bulky .. Chunky legs are the highlights..overall it’s simply amazing to see how a normal bubble gum box turns out into a futuristic War Bot 👌🏼🤩
I literally found one of those containers this morning and thought "mini space ship".. it makes a sweet bot... you can make a great modeling "clay" with tissue and acrylic paint, it drys to a hard plastic liked material. its a variation of poor mans fiberglass
I was watching this video, and my 8yo step daughter came in and said, " that looks like a gum case." I said it was, and she was in awe at what it looked like now. I have to say I share her sentiment . Awesome vision and execution!
Great looking robot!! The bro with the best intro on RUclips! The color choice was great! I've got one of those containers, but mine is gonna be for an Aliens diorama.
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 got the gum at Walmart, it was like $2. It would be amazing to go back in time if we knew what we know know, we would be the coolest kids on the playground!
This is by far my favorite build you have done! It just looks so cool. The green paint makes it look like a futuristic military weapon and the light just sets off the whole model. Thanks for sharing this neat build.
I have watched all of your videos now and have been patiently waiting for this video. I wish you could post a couple a week, but I understand the challenges of life. I reckon this is a beautie! You have so much skill and imagination. I love your creativity and laid-back style. Thank you. (Now waiting for the next one!) 😀
Wow! Thanks so much and sorry for some of the earlier videos that were a little rough!😂 I’m currently in CA helping out my sister so I’m hoping to get another video up in two weeks.😬
you can make tuffs of grass by buying cheap brushes and trim a bit off. I usually just hold it with a tweezer and cut a little lower then it. after that I can apply a dab of superglue or like just glue it on and the brush gives ya tons of small tall grasses.
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.
I've said it before and I'll say it again you never fail to amaze me. I'd have to say now this is probably one of my top three favorites of what you've done. I totally love this machine-bot. It is so very very cool and awesome. Just a thought on the base when you put the putty on maybe it would go on easier if you scratched the top up first with a wire brush or something like that, I don't know for sure if it would work but it might give a rougher surface to stick to.
First time viewer here. Seeing something iconic like a Bubble Tape container turned into a droid/mech is pretty cool and seems like it'd be fun to do! And with the music playing, it was definitely giving me End of Stage Boss fight vibes.
Hey Toy Nerd i was thinking how cool it would be if you could do a short stop motion animation of a number of your awesome builds in action. Maybe have two or three separate factions against one another, sort of like a space battle if you will and maybe some ground action as well. I know this idea would be an enormous endeavor but I believe seeing your builds animated and in action would be insanely great. They do deserve this treatment. Anyway, I was just throwing out the idea. Let me know what you think. Take care...
I love that! I have so many projects going right now that most of my friends think I’m crazy! It would be totally cool if a stop motion animator reached out to me and take my character and make something amazing.😃
I love how you can take something that most people would just see as garbage and turn it into an amazing piece of art.
Thanks. There’s so many great bottles and containers out there begging to be used!😃
it was garbage, thats the point.
That’s creativity for ya

Nice!
If you make it show us
This robot looks great. The chunky legs really help give it bulk. Flipping the base was a good idea, too. I love all the decals and details.
Thanks. The packaging was begging to be made into something!😂

You’re too kind… I’m just a toy nerd having a good time!😀
I appreciate that, thank you.
[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.
You give me so much inspiration! To take something normally seen as garbage and turn it into a fun, creative, beautiful piece of art. Please keep creating! I want to keep watching these.

I normally use Mod Podge in my builds but I thought that would be faster…😂 Part of the journey.
I KNEW THAT CONTAINER COULD BE USED FOR SOMETHING
The only problem was I was four at the time and didn’t know paint existed
😂
The Hulky , Bulky .. Chunky legs are the highlights..overall it’s simply amazing to see how a normal bubble gum box turns out into a futuristic War Bot 👌🏼🤩
This was a fun package to work with…😃
It couldn’t have turned out any better! Nailed it! Absolutely crushed it!
Thanks!❤️

That’s a cool tip! Thanks.
A killer robot build, one of the best kit bash I’ve seen. Turned out great. I especially like those small details you added.
I agree!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Just having fun building and it as much fun to share! 😃
I was watching this video, and my 8yo step daughter came in and said, " that looks like a gum case." I said it was, and she was in awe at what it looked like now. I have to say I share her sentiment . Awesome vision and execution!
That’s so fun to hear! Maybe we can convert her to be a toy creator!😃
I'm from 1983, i too have had my fair share of Hubba Bubba in the 90's (they were in italy also, at the time).
Great taste for builds as ever Doc 👍😉
I haven’t had it for years and I forgot how good it tastes. And it great for making huge bubbles (3-4 pieces required).😂
Great job. I love the metal look.
Man I love those big chunky legs. Little guy looks simultaneously very badass and really adorable. Great work!
best description yet!😂
Thanks!
Such an awesome looking mech!!!
This honestly looks like a cool concept for Warhammer 40k.
Thanks
This is so awesome. It gives me big Final Fantasy 7 energy for some reason.
Impressive work as always Dave.👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
It’s a beautiful Warhammer terrain!
I love junk art made from the most unusual materials. True genius. Dude you rock!
Thanks!😃
Looks fantastic!
Great looking robot!! The bro with the best intro on RUclips! The color choice was great! I've got one of those containers, but mine is gonna be for an Aliens diorama.
Thanks! Yeah, the container is awesome. I hope your build turns out amazing!
Your enthusiasm is infectious and the build turned out great. Model on, Dave
Thanks! Will do!😃
Aaaaaaadorable and intimidating at the same time! I LOVE it!!
😃Thanks
This is incredible! Amazing work turning gum into a robot!!
Thank you so much 😀

The best thing about bubble tape is the container it came in.
💯!
this was a killer scratch build!
Thanks!
This one was sooooooo cool…as they usually are! Great job!! 😎
Thanks!
Great work 👏
What an amazing build it definitely turned out cool.
Thanks
Unbelievable transformation!!! Totally Rad
Thanks!
VERY COOL! I have like 6 of those in my bits bin.. might be time to put on on my workbench
Heck yeah!😃
This is by far my favorite build you have done! It just looks so cool. The green paint makes it look like a futuristic military weapon and the light just sets off the whole model. Thanks for sharing this neat build.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching!
I can really imagine this little guy hopping and trundling along in Metal Slug animation style
I definitely thought it had a frog vibe.😃
That might be my favorite divot you've ever made. To whoever suggested that, that was a great idea!
glad you did a bot in a Gum container
This build was 6 feet of fun! Awesome work as usual
😂
Also good for 20mm scale 'hover tanks', the turrets I use are the top from an artificial sweeteners dispenser.
that container was made for something cool. and on a different way like a flat surface will be nice to.
I totally agree! Definitely more bots to come from this packaging.😃
That gum was always so good it made me want to always swollow it lol especially the grape
😂😂😂 And it makes the best bubbles!
Oh wow, very cool!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍
Try using watered down pva on the wood to get it a little moist it should raise the fibers a bit and the sparkle should stick easier
Awesome tip, thanks!
YES A PERFECT BUILD WITH A PERFECT GUM
one of my favorites that you've done!
Thanks
I love the end result there, man. Really cool shapes coming together!
Thanks
Looks like the robots RoboCop I love it
I thought the same thing!😃
Thanks
This was a beautiful kitbashing project!
I love the creativity of it :)
Thank you! 😊
You need a mesh for the mastic to stick. I used burlap for a mosaic on pink foam board. Worked very well.
Great tip!
That looks so cool!
Amazing work!!
thank you, for your clips, love em....
BIG WELL DONE.
Thanks
Always feel inspired after watching your vids, THANKS DOC
I love to hear that! Thanks!
Looks amazing! Like something that stomped its way out of the imagination of some WWI tech designer! Color choices were spot on as well. Great work!
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Amazing robot!!
Great result man, the bubba pack literally looks like it was destined to be a little battle bot, love it
Right!
I think there’s other possibilities with this container as well! 😃
It's adorable and I love it
Thanks
This is doing so much for my inner child. I just stumbled across your videos last month and love each new build!
That makes me so happy to hear. There’s so much crazy in the world sometimes it’s nice to get away and be a kid again!😃
This one is awesome, I really like it.
Thanks
I usually try to obscure the original shape of trash bits but this works so well as is. Hubba bubba robot uprising? 🤔
Yeah, it was just begging to be used!😂
Omg ! As a kid I use to imagine those exact bubblegum tape dispensers where spaceships.
Right!!! Such a great shape!
I'm a 40k nerd an found your video by happistance but I love your work and find it inspiring!
That is awesome! Thanks for watching!

Love the whole process..it's great 👍🔥
Thanks
That is really cool, who knew you could build something great and have a delicious treat too, i really like your builds, look forward to the one.
That gum is so good!!! And it makes amazing bubbles!😂
One of the decals looks like the Myers Manx Griffin.
I thought this was going to be a functional desk sized Roomba, that being said your statue was awesome
😂
Thanks!
amazing work man!!!!
I've also seen people make some of the terrain power coils for warhammer 40k tables with these.
DR Toys, amazing work buddy, I'm new to your channel but already a fan...Kudos!
Awesome! Thanks Gary!
that looks cool!
childhood's favorite gum omg i want it so bad
😂
Too cool 😎 I’ve been doing some junk builds and mods. Thank you for your inspiration and videos. 😊
Sure thing, glad to do it.
Thanks for watching!
This looks amazing man. I love those legs! Someone did not skip leg day
😅
@@DRToysCreations were you able to find an Eve toy?
@@thestoryteller1920 Not yet. : )
Great video Doc!!
Thanks man!
That’s sick! I always thought those containers were cool.
Right?!
I'd gladly buy then and use then in a dnd campaign
Definitely feel like this has taken out a few of the aliens from starship troopers.

I totally see that!😃
Reminds me of the MFU-68 Laborer from Atomic Heart. I love it!

That’s a great idea, someone also mentioned to wet the base and it would go on easily.
One could also make a cool UFO thing or a different looking mech by laying the gum-box.
Totally! I think I may have a few more builds to make with this package.😃
