- Today in the Smugglers Room we are providing a few Droid Depot Upgrades to our little R5 Droid that we built last year in Disney's Galaxy's Edge. We'll show you how we upgraded his paint job, added bits of details, a custom backpack, and a good deal of weathering!

The droid overall is awesome, but the backpack is absolutely genius.
THANKS! Hope you have a Happy New Year
Same wishes for you guys! May the Force be with you.
Great job. Any way we can get that backpack file? I just built a droid and want to follow y'alls lead with it.
Hi, how can I get the backpack file?
Yay, the boss is giving it her own touch!
HAAA! Right! Hope you have a happy new year!
I love how this droid mod turned out. It comes off as someone who's had it for years and has done everything they can to keep it running.
YAY, that was the idea! Glad you like it, and thank you for watching!
Excellent work Karissa!
Thank you guys so much!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Only a matter of time until Brian was replaced with a Droid...😉
Has a 3D printer ever been cited in divorce proceedings before? 🤣
How would you go about adding ‘battle damage’; dents, scratches, etc.? Not just paint effects but physical damage.
@@DougPalumbo take an exacto knife and make some shallow cuts in the plastic that looks like slashes and take a small drill bit and lightly drill shallow holes for laser fire damage
What an awesome idea to upgrade the droid that you got from disney. Awesome job and the backpack is genius. Excellent work Karissa! Great job on distressing the droid.
Fantastic video, the dynamic duo hit it out of the park again..
Thank you!
Fun video. For a moment I thought the chirps on the droid were to the music playing. I started putting my kicker (quick set, etc) into a dropper bottle. I felt like the spray was wasting too much, I really don't like the smell of it, and my spray bottle clogged up. It allows me to put a few drops where ever I want without getting it everywhere.
That's great!! and BRILLIANT suggestion! We're going to try that because I'm sure that we waste a lot of that quick set the way it doesn't aim well... thank you for that!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Glad to help.
I love that idea. I’m going to give it a shot. It’s stupid gluing a tiny little piece, then one spritz from the kicker covers the 3 square inches around the area I actually need it.
Wow. That droid looks amazing. I love the little greebles. The backpack is well made and the antenna on top is really cool and adds some much needed detail that the base droids lack.
Thank you
Oooo This turned out fanTAStic!! Great work you two!!
Cheryl! Fantastic! Nerd couples are the BEST right!!!??? Happy New Year!
@@TheSmugglersRoom YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Love the color scheme, now I must have a droid or four!!🤣😂
Right!! We think that you can not have too many droids around!
@@TheSmugglersRoom I do love those droids!
Will you share your droid backpack file? I love the design. It could house a lipo and bluetooth speaker.
OMG! How awesome is that!!!! Well, you know........."I want one!!!!!!!" I absolutely enjoy the videos with you two. Don't get me wrong Brian, you're awesome, it's just you two play off each other so well it just makes it so much fun to watch.
HA nice!!! we have a lot of fun when we do projects together for sure, glad you liked this one! Happy New Year Marie, thank you for all your support!
Congrats on your new Droid kid..... 🎉🤖
Thank you! Hope you have a happy new year!
@@TheSmugglersRoom The same for you and your family....
Nice! I am planning on painting a BB unit, so this gave me some great ideas and tips.
That droid backpack needs to be a purchasable item in the Smugglers Room store.
did this ever happen?
nevermind
Awesome mod! An accelerator trick I use to prevent overspray of it. I spray some in a small cap and use a small piece of wire with a small tight loop on one end and a larger loop on the other end to grab and prevent it from rolling off tables. Dip the small loop in the accelerator and put it on one side and glue on the other. When I say small loop it can also be just a small bit of wire turned back on itself. It just gives it the ability to transfer a measurable amount on the now improvised tool. Or you could use the ‘superglue’ then touch the ‘tool’ to the sea and let the accelerator set the edge area of the superglue for a slightly more secure bond. I have had accelerator effect painted surfaces and I too have over sprayed it myself.
Great idea
As much as I love the backpack, the true star of the show is the weathering. It really tells a story about that little dude. Great job!
Thank You!!! Carissa nailed it!
The wires look really awesome, nice touch to the droid.
Love it... what great looking R5... the backpack was a great idea!!
Stunning work Karissa 👏👏 that droid looks really great 😉👍
That came out awesome! I can't wait to go out to Galaxy's Edge
Thank you, we're excited about how it turned out for sure! Happy New Year!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Happy New Year to y'all as well
Well Queen you did a Awesome job! Enjoy your Build. Thank you for this video. 💥😀😆😄😁👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿
Y'all always make me smile!!! Love watching the creation process, makes me want to give it try too!
Thank you Katie!!!
This channel needs 1 million + subscribers....such great content!!!!!
Thank you, we certainly are working toward that! Is it too late to ask for that for Christmas? Hope you have a happy new year!
The truest comment made in 2020. Congratulations @N24RE
Wow! That droid looks awesome!
Love the colors you chose...thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Wow.... just wow.... I soo wanted to build a droid... but then seeing this amazing upgrade... I dont think I'll get one now cause it just won't even compare--- amazing looking droid!!! Thanks for sharing even if it killed my desire to build one :)
Awesome weathering detail!
Another great video you guys. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much! and Happy New Year to you as well!
The back pack is amazing!! And the weathering is phenomenal!!
Just a word of caution, something I learned the hard way, be careful taking your little buddy back to the parks as Disney gets really funny about exposed wires even if they connect to nothing. Wah!
Wow! That was one hell of a makeover! Well done!
Thank you! Have a happy new year!
Another awesome video guys! I built a very similar droid a few months back. I also added a Ring camera inside the droid head. Now he’s a sentry droid. Thanks for all the great videos!
So Cool!!! Happy New Year and thank you for watching!
SO. JEALLY.
Must see more of the final product. That was amazing!
This is so AWESOME!!!! Love the distressed look.
Thank you so much 🤗
Looking awesome! Gonna have to stay on a freighter, tho. Won't fit in a droid socket now 😃
I enjoyed watch this. I too change my droids my last one was the pink and white one from the force awakens. Oh my goodness so much work lol . I use the 1/6 r2 unit.
please tell me yall pulled a mold for the "back pack" and will be adding it to the shop...pretty please
Amazing work. Very impressed with your air brushing!
It's cool how you showed that with a little imagination you can make something off the shelf, so to speak, completely individual and one of a kind. Happy New Year!
Thank you!!! and Happy New Year to you too!
Wow, amazing transformation!
Thank you! Cheers!
Turned out great I sure like the droid having some weathered and aged look to it. Really gives it more character. Nice job!
for sure more character, it was amazing to see it's transformation and how much more realistic it looks after it's all done up!
that was amazing! your airbrushing is fantastic, but I'm glad you mention that it's somthing you need to work on, it gives the rest of us a hope that we can get as good as you
so much appreciated!
For sure, we're all about being real! If we stop trying to improve, learn and grow, then we stop progressing, right!! Thank you so much for watching and hope you have a happy holiday!
Really cool! I should've built a droid during my last visit to Galaxy's Edge. Instead, I got Chopper. Need to look up and practice weathering techniques.
That is so awesome that you have a wife that loves to build too. Nice.
A great final product! So fun watching the two of you play on this one
So happy that you liked it!!! We did have so much fun! Thank you for watching and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
@ 8:49, Arrrgh! That stuff splatters everywhere out of the pump sprayer. Open the bottle and use a throw-away paint brush or cotton swab to dab it where it needs to go and avoid the overspray.
Great job on the droid weathering, looks good!
Yeah for sure, those stupid bottles are the worst. Another commenter suggested a dropper as well. Either way you are right, it’s time to change it up!
That has got to be one of the best looking droids I’ve seen!!! Very nice work
Wow, thanks!
Great job, looks amazing!
Beautiful work!!
Great job that looks just awesome!!
That is amazing looking Droid with great work “ Thank the Maker “
Wow!!! It looks amazing, what an amazing upgrade!!!!!
Very cool, love the details.
Really loved this build! So much heart and laughter. This is the way!
Thank you this is the way
I love Galaxy's Edge and this channel! Good job!
Thank you!
This is Epic! Mrs. Smugglers' room did a fantastic job!! A Team!
Thanks big guy, really appreciate it!
Yay! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have a happy new year!
Very cool episode....and fun. The droid came out awesome. I loved the color choices you used.
Could you make a list of materials you used???
That droid is truly one of a kind ❤️
Hey Chrissa And Bryan(sorry if your names are wrong) I have only been watching your videos for 4-5 days, and it truly has left an everlasting effect. A couple days ago after watching about half of your videos I went into my garage and picked up a piece of wood and about an out later it was black and covered in greeblies. You also inspired me to create a droid ( I named him kB-430) which if have grown attached to. My mom thought I was crazy when I decided to buy super glue instead of toys. If it weren’t for you guys I never would have used the random crap laying in our garage. I have learned so many techniques from watching you guy. I got an amateur wiring kit, and after watching your videos I realized how the kit actually applied to real wiring. I am so happy that you have given the Star Wars and building community something to look forward to weekly( other than mando) I can’t wait for more projects to inspire me to build. Thanks 😊.
Tha m you so much, it’s so great to hear you were energetic about getting out there and building something! That’s the entire reason we started this channel. Good luck on your projects and thank you for watching!
Every time I say “ Mom I just spray painted every piece of recycling and now I made a space ship” she looks at me like I am crazy but it is because of your videos.
Awesome droid build , !!!
Love the bsckpack.
YES!! Feels like they all need a backpack! Thank you for watching!

OMG! New Smugglers Room! 🐾
YOU ROCK!!!! LOL
Awesome Job!
I cannot lie. That’s a badass job! Love it.
Pretty cool guys. Not sure I am creative enough to do it though. Building my first droid in WDW next week 😁
That looks awesome!
Damn! That looks great!
LOL go for it girl! Sell, sell, sell as a droid has a shut off button. LOL
This looks great! Such an inspiration.
that turned out so awesome! you go girl! soooo can not wait to build mine in June!
Absolutely love this. It may actually be my favourite build of yours so far (sorry Brian).
No need to be sorry at all . . . she killed it and it was so much fun!
Have you ever made DIY cutting/masking tools out of old jigsaw blades. You can come up with some crazy custom ideas. Just use a Dremel or bench grinder and keep them cool as you make your design/cut and they hold a edge well. And a handle is easily made by dunking one end in a blob of bondo and sanding to shape when cured. I have a crazy huge set that I've been using for years and they never let me down.
Funny little guy! You ever thought about modifying a Roomba of some sorts? Greetings and a Happy New Year from Germany
YESSSS, we have one in the study all ready and waiting!!! Happy new year to you to!
this is an excellent work! I hope you had a good time this Christmas? I wish you many, many great Ideas and Projects for the next year!
Thank you!!! yes we did and hope you did too! Thank you for the new year wishes, that is a good one! Happy New Year!
awesome work!
Fantastic job! It looks great 👍😁⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Really Cool!!!
I love 💕 droids. This was a very fun video to watch. 👍👍
Turned out really nice
THANK YOU!!! hope you have a happy new year! Thank you for the support!
I live 30 minutes from WDW, and go often. I haven't had a chance to build a droid (mostly because of the stupid pandemic), but you guys just made me want to go do it! I loved the color scheme, and you really did a good job of making it look like its metallic, yet worn. Loved the video!
Yeah, right, dang pandemic, we got to go right before everything 'hit the fan' this year, so we feel lucky about that. This was a lot of fun, hope you could get your droid sometime soon!!! Have a happy holiday!
Great vid to end the year with. R33S3 did a great job. I love how she’s taking a more on camera role in the business. Y’all did such a great job on this. Love the backpack! Love the color scheme. Love you both. Y’all have helped this geek get through this wampa dung pile of a year.
Good riddance 2020! Let’s hope 2021 steps up and gives us far fewer catastrophes.
So thankful for you Deanna! Happy New Year my friend!
Aw, so glad to hear that! it has been a wampa dung pile of a year, but here's hoping to a better one for 2021!
this backpack is incredible! Good job
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I think somebody's gonna be getting their own show now!
Fantastic you two!!! Congratulations!!👏👏👏👏👏😉👍‼️
Thank you Ed!!!
this is the first video of yours ive seen and ..... Wow im lost for words of how much amazing detail you added to your droid.. the backpack ofcourse is awesome but i espcially love the little wires and chrome paints n little touches you glued on! disney should of added that wiring in the accssesorie port so it dosnt cover the spots to put in the tool kit accsessories they sell and still being able to close the doors.. that would be sweet the weathering is soooo cool to
Wow, thank you!
Excellent work!!!!
Restraining bolts are droid abuse 😂 nice work!
LOVED IT!!! Have a Happy New Year everyone!!!
Such a cool build and so awesome to see your wife in this episode!!
Love the color scheme ...stay safe!
Thanks 👍
Awesome as always you two! Keep up the great work! We love ya! :)
Love the outcome and absolutely love the backpack! Great work!
For the resin printing, I recommend you the washing and cure machine I use. It's from Anycubic and it helps you to save time and money (you can reuse the isopropyl alcohol a lot of times). And it's cheap enough.
So funny my friend. Just after we made this backpack I bought that exact unit. It’s a dream!!!! Thank you!
February this year! Wow, time travel is real😂😂😂 great work Guys keep it up.
Ps: when Disneyland opens up again can you do a bb droid please
Love all of you’re videos. Just a tip when you’re removing the supports from a resin print You’ll find it’s way easier and cleaner to remove them when it comes out of the cleaner and it’s still wet. They are more flexible and will come off way easier than after it’s cured. Keep making the great videos!!
Keep up the excellent work, you two.
Thank you! Happy New Year!! Thank you for your support!
Your droid came out amazing!!!!
Thank you!!!
I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these things. I love doing stuff like this! I was already planning to paint it after I got it but this video gave me SO MANY more ideas! It’ll be a while yet tho
Happy New Year!!!
and to you as well!!!
You two are couple goals for me and my girlfriend. Happy new year!!
Man that's awesome, thank you, and Happy New Year to you as well!
