Your original video about these guys is what brought your channel to my attention (I'm an astromech builder) and it's awesome to see more about them. I am constantly amazed at the content and quality of presentation in your videos. Thank you for all the work you do to make and share them with us.
Thank you very much Mark!
Someone needs to combine an astromech with the mapping technology of a roomba so they can roam around the house, cheerfully booping away!
100% agreed!
Soooo much fun! The more droids the better. Thanks for the great inspiration.
As a child I always found getting dirt on me was the one thing that proved I had fun while playing!
Awesome weathering job on the R2!
I love this scale so much!
Love the 2/3 scale droids! I'm a droid builder too. Gonk, mouse droid, BD1, Senate Cam droid etc. Hope to meet you at Celebration!
Awesome Andrew! Can't wait!
A little bit of paint and weathering really makes the difference, your droids are awesome 😉👍
I haven’t seen the Show in a minute. This show is Awesome!😁👍🏾
Both of the droids I built r2o5 and my unamed r6 approves of this video. Not doing celebration this year but I will be there in spirit
Thanks Jim!
This is absolutely incredible! I want to make a BD unit with lights and sound so this is amazing to see! Love all the details on this!
Lefty looks like the kind of astromech you could find at Peli Motto's hangar.
Lefty definitely has a little more oomph and sounds great too. thanks for video! I'm dying to build a R2 unit. Just need the normal stuff.....Time and money! :)
Great video and the Droid community is huge never hurts to have your side kick with you at a convention. They are also great ice breakers and conversation starters. Basically you just can't go wrong.
Absolutely agree! Great group!
Weathering was the perfect, final touch! Can't wait to see these little guys in person!
Thank you Bro!
I Love Lefty! He is super Fun!
Great episode. Always entertaining and educational. Have fun at Celebration!
Thank you Jamie!
You guys and all the projects you share to the channel are awesome. Very talented, creative, and inspiring. Love your work guys
Thank you so much
Could you please do a full build video of these smaller astromech droids. I'd love to build one with my son. Great vid!
We have plans later this summer to build Chopper from Star Wars rebels. Not sure yet when that series will start, but should be this summer/
Love these guys. Can't wait to meet them.
Love your droids! This was another great video to watch over my morning coffee here in LA. Love seeing your ever-evolving projects take shape and come to life. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you as always for watching! We appreciate you!
I love your droids
Much appreciated
amazing Job as always!, have tons of fun at Celebration
Thank you!!
I haven’t seen the show in a minute. Awesome 😀😃👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎👍🏾
Thanks, welcome back!
I thought I could just take my droid every where and this look will just happen 😂 looks amazing
Awesome! Thank you!
Ok so now I really want to build a droid. Thank you!!! I’m so happy to have found your channel and to support you. Hope you have a great time on your trip.
Awesome! Thank you!
Once again GREAT JOB@!
I know this comment is probably coming out of nowhere but it's thanks to you guys that I Decided to make a Two 3rd scale T3 M4 style droid Which his name will be T3 XT. I can't thank you guys enough for the awesome inspiration.
Awesome work! And thanks for sharing the info and links.
Thank you!
LOL!!! I Love L3-FTY....Great video brother!
Thanks bro!
First time I see this channel and video, I think this scale is better for a real life astromech, I mean, yeah, bigger means more stuff, but also gives way to be a problem if you need to move, you won't leave the mechanic, you need them!!
They're AWESOME 😅👍🏻
I wish I could afford one 🤖
I KNEW he was your dad!!!! Thought y'all could fool me 😂 lol great video man!
I can’t catch the show but I appreciate all you do! You actually inspired me to paint my Astromech from Disney. Keep up the great work and have fun at the show!
That is awesome!
L3-FTY is so very cool mate.
Thank you!
It's my dream to have a droid that would actually fix and maintain my car like an r2 unit should.
i want a 3.75 inch scale L3-FTY so bad. "They have everything you'd expect from a full-sized astromech in a smaller package" sounds like the ad campaign to sell the L3 series to the galaxy at large...
LOL!! You are correct. They have it all!!
YESSSSS excited for this one!!!!!
2/3 scale huh? What a GREAT idea! Love the light weathering on R2-Di
Would love to have one.
Thanks! They are a lot of fun. You can go to Astromech.net and find plans, 3D print files, and more to make your own. Just scale the files down to the size you want.
@@TheSmugglersRoom I live in an apartment and did a search for anyone doing 3D printing around me, for the repair droids. like from the Mando show. I found someone was selling on Etsy. No such luck. Choice is buying the BIG bucks Fanhome monthly build kit or the 1/6 scale Sideshow one, for now.
Wow 👏 😮 👏 so enjoy your videos 📹 😀 please keep them coming 🙏 and here to help get your videos 📹 😉 out to everyone to enjoy 😉 😀 😊
Thank you!!!
Love these little guys.. L3-FTY has some cool upgrades.. Both look epic and ready for SW Celebrations 💯💯
Thank you
The Rebirth of L3-FTY I love it great episode!! I Am excited to see L3-FTY in person !!
Can't wait man!
I always enjoy your vids.
I’d love to start building a 2/3 or full scale astromech. I actually just got an R6 from the Droid Depot at Galaxy’s Edge. Idk what scale that is but it a cool
Your droids are so cool. you're going to have to chase Lefty all over the place cause he's gonna zip. lol. Have fun!
Thank you!! Enjoyed seeing you on FabWorks the other day too! Awesome stuff!
@@TheSmugglersRoom thanks!
This is brilliant and sooooooooo damn cool!! I NEED ONE OF THESE!!
I really need to pick back up my Droid project. I shelved it when I was moving house. I found an old broken Vax Powa 4000 vacuum cleaner. As soon as I saw it, it just screamed "I am a Star Wars style Droid in waiting". Just been stumped on how I want to do the legs.
Do it! Get back on it!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Aye, I've started thinking about how to make the legs now. I want Astromech legs.
R2D1(I) [lol] being Clean Makes Sense Its Fresh of The Assembly line and Has that New Droid [Car] Smell 🤣
LOL! True true!
I love our robot it veri cool
It would be cool to make a C3PO a human can hold a conversation with. It can be made using a small onboard computer connected to the internet wirelessly. It would run software to recognize spoken language and feed it to ChatGPT as a prompt. The response is given back through speech synthesis. Of course, C3PO was actually a person dressed in a costume, but you can get around the animatronics by carrying his parts in a backpack like Chewbacka did in the movie.
That would be cool
L3-FTY is quite a unique build. Love the creativity you put into that one. Hopefully you'll have your Mando armor done as well. Sadly I won't be attending this year so I can't come see L3 in person.
That's the plan! Sorry we won't see you this time. Maybe on the next one!
Have a good time at the SW celebration. When and where is it? Video was excellent by the way.
Very cool, however, in addition to building droids such as the 2/3rd Scale R2-D2, I was wondering what is the smalest scale droid you have ever built?
Now I'm craving a Bantha Burger & Onion Rings!
There is a guy in Australia who is making a droid with Roomba parts that will allow his droid to wander around a room map out a house and even avoid people and obstacles like walls and stairs while staying inside a geo fence. I just want to know if it has a timer and can self charge like a Roomba. How cool would it be to have a drinks tray on a droid just wandering around a room at a party serving drinks. Hmmm....now where have i seen that before....had to be in a movie.... ah the name will come to me later.....!!!!!
Fun video, I'll be at Celebration so I'll definitely be on the look out for your droids. You might say they will be the be droids I'm looking for... but I don't want to make too obvious of a Star Wars reference.
LOL! Awesome!
Im new to the channel and would Iove to see a concept art r2d2 if you haven't made one yet. Your work is incredible btw.
Thank you for joining us! Your in luck, we have a full project on a concept droid right here! ruclips.net/p/PLUy1-gPWrFRRzJNLyNfqQ0SUH3Ohj7pQ0
What is the average cost? Looks fun!
Thought about adding vents, heatsinks, and fans for the over heating motors?
unfortunately there is not enough room in the foot shells for any of that. There is barely enough room for the motors.
Droid videos are always good.
I would be *very* interested in more information on the motors you used on these 2/3 scale droids. What is their power, (final) geared rpm, what wheel size you use, and what their final top speed is and whether you wish it was faster or if it's adequate for what you need (or too fast and you never run them near top speed). Motors are expensive and doing this by iteration can be frustrating, a good place to start near the end of this process would really help.
I'll do my best to get that info to you!
@@TheSmugglersRoom It would be great to have that info but it might make a video in your "introduction to electronics" series?
Are you going to be at a booth or just wondering around? I would really like to see these guys.
We are not at a booth, but we’ll be around all four days!
I'm still dreaming of building a 2/3-Scale Version of T3-M4 or T7-O1 one day. But until then, there are so many unfinished projects to be done.
That sounds very cool!
Lefty….lighty I’d say…
Di (her astromech) looks like they’ve seen a lot of action…all that carbon-scoring!
LOL!!!
Love what you put out, do you have a kit for your Droids? Thanks R
First time viewer. You do some awesome work there! Now here's a challenge for ya. That's if anyone else has thought of this before. You need to build a replica of Muffet Two from the original Battlestar Galactica series. As most fans know it was a chimpanzee inside the costume. I remember seeing John Dykstra on the Johnny Carson show showing off the chimp in costume and "peeling back the layers" of the costume to reveal the chimpanzee inside. Then throwing the parts to the side and humorously saying the show had been cancelled. To build a Muffet replica would a challenge
That is a great idea!!!! Would love to make that! Thank you, and thanks for watching!
@@TheSmugglersRoom 👍...and subbed!
RUclips never notifies me when you are on and so I thought you were gone.
Nope, still here, still going strong 🤓
cool
Thanks
how much does it cost to make a 2/3 scale r2d2 droid?
I just got inspiration for a project that combine my favorite tings, h left out purposely. 🤔🤖🙄
sweet
I want to make one, or two but don't know how or where to start. Please help me with this journey. Thank you.
You need to check out Astromech.net. There is a world of knowledge and awesome people there that can help!
And,, do you have any Advice for a very novice, on taking a plastic Chewi mask to put the voice activater on a Chewbacca mask I have made. Thanks R
A droid that's too heavy because of its lead ass-id battery. Hilarious! 🤣
❤
Thanks bro!
Hey Smuggler, what was the music track you used during the weathering segment?
we get all of our music from Epidemic sound. I think that track is called "Sunset Dew"
I would pay to see him build BB8
Thanks!
Are you using Arduino for the electronics?
@the smugglers room the artisan water mixable oil paint you're using on your Droid, can that stick to action figures if so how long does it take to dry? I got this cheap oil paint at Walmart and it doesn't stick at all.
Just curious because you know your stuff!
Thanks for another awesome video dude!
-Stephen
Hey there. I would imagine yes, it would stick. I use this on all sort of projects and haven’t experienced any issue, including on plastics. As far as drying time, it takes forever! Some projects it takes weeks to dry.
@@TheSmugglersRoom thank you so much for the reply! I see now lol, I haven't been giving it enough time to dry! Hahaha it's my first experience with using oils so now I know! Thank you! You just saved me a lot of headaches and money! I'm painting my black series figs by Hasbro. I absolutely loved your childhood Slave-1 conversion! It was the first video I watched of yours! Anyways, big fan!
- Stephen
Whares chopper?
why does lefty has a restaining bolt?
Have to keep him under control!
Lefty was acting a little frisky around that orange shop vac. It might be a good idea to separate them. (-; ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!
Nah, I am hoping they will produce a shopvac that cleans up with attitude!
@@TheSmugglersRoom LOL. If Lefty has a trist with your lawn mower, that'd be great -- better than any yard roomba.
What's up you awesome geeks?
not much, you?
@@TheSmugglersRoom getting entertained by your vids
How much for a scaled droid
It's far more satisfying building one yourself. I thought it would be impossible. But with the help and encouragement of other droid builders I now have a full size R5 and a BB along with various pit droids and gonks. It's an addictive hobby, give it a go
@@ambientsounds321 i dont have the equipment or money to build its faster to buy
🤠👍👍👍👍👍
Are those make up brushes
You bet the my are! 😜
Not all droid where dirty. There are many examples of pristine in the films.
Well, around here we prefer all our droids be dirty 🤷♂️
@@TheSmugglersRoom no no I didn't express that right. I was trying to say that they existed in the cannon. You would not find a dirty droid in a palace or on the death star. Just like you would not find a clean one in a dirty star port. I was just saying it was not correct to say they didn't exist NOT how you should choose to make yours. I frustrated my artist grandmother for years when she tried to teach me to paint, I have no tallent for it.i do have respect for those that can.
I always ask my self. Why are no droids in our LIFE ? IT do not have to be bullet proof .
Just one what can go shopping with my wife and handel the stuff she pay for IT.
So i can Stay Ad home and use the tv for starwars .
