In this video I’m revisiting one of my favorite Star Wars prop projects — building a full-size Gonk Droid projector inspired by the galaxy far, far away. Originally released as a two-part series back in 2022, this marathon edition combines the entire build from start to finish into one long-form video.
Follow along as I design, fabricate, paint, weather, and assemble this custom GNK power droid prop using Storage bins, 3D printed parts, electronics, and a working projector system. Whether you’re into Star Wars cosplay, prop making, droid building, DIY fabrication, or movie replica builds, there’s a lot packed into this project.
