In the early days of CGI when shows like TNG needed to build some quick space ships for something like the Battle of Wolf 359, this is exactly what they'd do. They took anything lying around (hi-liter markers became warp nacelles, for example) and glue it to pieces of commercial Star Trek space ship model kits.

The highlighters were torpedo pods on the New Orleans Class.

Most of the props created for shows like 'Stingray' and 'Thunderbirds' were created by Gerry Anderson's effects guys going shopping at Woolworths, and buying stuff with intriguing shapes, as well as thousands of Airfix model kits - from where the UK's 'Universal Greebly' comes - it's the support bracket from an Airfix Girder Bridge kit. It can be seen everywhere in Gerry Anderson shows. The ILM 'U.G.' comes from the Hasegawa Railway gun kit.

The great thing about these dollar store toys is that they come apart really easily, you got that right!

Love your kitbashing ideas and enthusiasm.

My kids have loads of unused and broken plastic toys and guns which would have normally gone to the tip ! Now they'll be used for bits, bobs and spare parts for my builds :) Thanks for the inspiration.

I really dig the end result, it's like something out of super cheesy 70s or early 80s science fiction. Gold is also a really underused color in sci-fi, I think. There was a small animated film in between Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick that had a really interesting Merc ship in it that was this huge art deco monstrosity that was white and gold and I think a bit of blue all on the outside. Looked like something really rich and unique.

First video I've ever seen and I don't know why but man this is entertaining. Finding a bunch of basically garbage and turning it into something awesome is just so much fun to watch, hope you keep doing stuff like this man!

Love it, but the plane fuselages still looks like planes. Perhaps fill in the openings and gaps with something? Also needs more color. But fun and inspirational. :)

I think out of all the ships you've made over the years, this is my favorite. I always find myself going back to watch this video again and again due to how perfectly you put all of these pieces together to make one seriously amazing form factor. Just had my own kind of moment where things just seemed to fit perfectly together making a ship for a film where an old squarish-shaped lotion bottle and a medicine bottle came together in a way that couldn't be more perfect with the medicine bottle becoming the cockpit area at the front connected to the lotion bottle at the neck. I got super excited and felt like I had to watch THIS video again before finishing my final sludge wash on it. Thanks, Anthony!

I have always loved those cheap toys, definitely going to try some kitbashing after watching how much fun you have

I don't know how I found this channel... but that was pretty awesome. I've always complained that the only model space ships you can get are "star trek" "star wars" and everything else that popular. I like generic designs you don't find in popular series.

reminds me of a tau space ship... anyone else? looks great.

Excellent work. I love the dry brushing technique and use that a lot - especially for creating fantasy 3D (real) landscapes in miniature. You can really bring rocks to a new level with multiple layers of dry brushing. Before I paint any plastic, I wash it with dishwashing soap and water get rid of the mold release compound. It is good to know there is another “out-the-box” modelmaker out there. My kindergarten teacher couldn’t get me to color inside the lines.

That's a great-looking starship for sure. :)

That is one groovy ship! Those wings kinda make me think of klingons.

One of my favorite dollar store kitbashed ships! Excellent video Sir!

kitbashing as a part of my engineering coursework, hopefully will go well... Getting some good tips and ideas from your videos thanks!

Great kitbash! God bless!

Didn't know about the buzz saw attachment. I always burn up my plastic builds. Thanks for the tip!

Baking Sosa drizzled onto wet crazy glue hardens instantly and is stronger. You can also fill grooves or create fillet welds between pieces with the baking soda, then apply ca glue overtop and then drizzle more baking soda. Creates perfect filler material and is stronger and dries faster. Yay, I do similar projects with scale Rc, so fun.

You rock. Great idea for beginners who want to get a start. That project looks great

I know that filmmaking and cosplay are the main focus of these videos, but I can see how someone could easily apply these to creating science fiction book covers. I'm more of a photoshop guy than an arts and crafts guy, but these videos are just full of great ideas.

The ship looks good but with a bit more time with the paint and just adding a few easy bits like wire straw tubing even some thick thread glued on. An array of nails guitar or piano strings become communication antenna maybe some smaller shuttle craft on the big wings would add a lot of interest.

Super glue and baking soda works awesome

I can no longer resist, and because of your boundless enthusiasm I've had a glue gun delivered today and I'm going to start to make sci-fi! No doubt this will happen while sticking everything to everything else and burning my skin with hot glue :o)

I'm so stoked to have discovered this channel! I'm a total science fiction enthusiast and a little bit of a writer, I am going to try to get into making some stuff like this, looks like some serious fun...

I loved building models as a kid. I'm 62, had some really cool original kits. The movie monsters, planes, cars, testors glue, uh oh..why didn't I think to do this?!! You can take credit my man, cuz now I'm gonna go full time crazy with this. I saw your supermarket kit bash video too. Great stuff.

Kit bashing is one of my favorite ways to design and create my craft. I can go out and find specific pieces in mind that might not be quite so easily made and work them into what I need a create my own custom piece from something similar that already exists. Great video! Thanks for the upload!!!

I love how on the packaging for the big jets it said it was an Airbus a380 but it's actually a Boeing 747

Wow, your dollar store is WAY better than mine. I'd need to spend like, $50 just to get enough items just for the greebles ALONE, and there are no toy ships large enough, so I've been collecting empty containers from work (ranch, mayo, hot sauce, etc), grabbing some junk I had lying around, and buying letter trays to build the general profile of a ship, and using the smaller, crappier toys I managed to grab to make the greebles, along with some poster board to build some of my own custom greebles when I run out (and some straws and wires for fuel lines and such).

@@createscifi I don't think using mainly the toys themselves is a bad idea, personally. If you want it to look better though, I humbly suggest creating not only greebles, but entirely original pieces of a main body out of layers of posterboard (and also popsicle sticks, small wooden dowels, letter trays, cut up clothing hampers for windows, plastic or metal wastebins, for some cool or eerie designs, etc), which can all be found at the dollar store. And if you can find any modeling clay, then you're REALLY looking to make something awesome. Then you can merge the toy pieces with your own ship design. There's this video I found where a guy makes a really awesome looking ship from scratch using only plastics and detailed paint work. I think something similar could be achieved with varying thicknesses of $1 posterboard and bits of junk: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e5eZmcuzqM-vgLA.html

VERY NICE

This is next level. If I wrote this movie, would you make my ships? Or better yet, what do you have lying around and I'll create my film around your existing work.

nice hobby.

Impressive finish! Looks about ready for the animation studio. The gold color was the perfect choice.

Awsome ship!

Very cool!!

Your enthusiasm is great. You obviously love what you do.

I think you should add a little more colour. I know it's a background ship, but it'll help it pop. From what I've read/observed too, the camera likes props with slightly more contrast. If you look at a blaster or a storm trooper they aren't just black, or white, but have various shades and storm troopers are slightly off white.

Thanks again Anthony. You are such a great inspiration mate. I really love your enthusiasm for the subject. 👍😁

Nice build, one addition, dont use superglue if you want to bind 2 plastic items. For that case you got plastic glue, which melts it together for a much stronger bond.

I'm so inspired right now! Thank you.

Oh man! Yes! I love that! I was thinking backwards wings from the moment you went with the split body.

That's a cool idea and good video, I think one of the smaller planes could have been a shuttle, or a fighter, otherwise I think it came out good, maybe a Lil too much gold in the dusting, but that's just me, interesting idea to make a cluster of engines for the ship, good job

The dry brushing really brought it all together. Made it look like a sketch

A good alternative to CA & hot glue could be two part epoxy glue, it:'s very strong and can be used as a sort of putty, plus some plastics didn't works well with hot glue. But the ideas are really good!

Instant sub.

Now that’s really neat !! Great concept, a set budget, and a finished product! From here I would use water slide decals and some detail painting to really bring the ship to life. But I have to admit, I love this video and a great inspiration!!

ta bonito

EXCELLENT! You are applying Model Railroading Kit-Bashing to Sci-Fi and it's great! The dry-brushing technique works really well! Keep up the good work!

That's what hat you get when you give a creative mind $5. Looks like a ship you could use as a VIP transport, starliner or something along those lines. It might just be the color, but I don't get a "Military" vibe.

You sir are delightful and infectious. Your tutorials always bring joy and a smile . oh yeah, and motivational! ok, excuse me while i run to the dollar store.....

I love how much fun you are having in making this!

Cool, man!

i do understand that this is a very fast build and that given more time the results would be a bit more polished...even if the results already are rather amazing...and one of the reasons i've added a sub to this channel....the other being i'm a huge geek

I play elite dangerous and I also 3d model in vr with Oculus Medium this has inspired me ty so much you got my sub

So glad I stumbled across this channel. As a sci-fi fan and film maker, I am looking for ways to create content. Given that I used to build plastic model kits when I was younger, and now seeing this video, I am inspired to create my own models. Now...where to go to get the parts.

To me, this ship looks like a luxury yacht or a cruise liner for the rich and powerful. I don't know why, but it just gives off that vibe.
