Listing of the bigbotbash results and a sketch of what can be made...
So I tried to see what my Big Bot Bash bot would be this year! Weirdo creature!
#bigbotbash #building #creative #billmakes #miniature
A green beetle robot, over a foot long, that fades to a deep magenta on the underside. It has 6 legs and long metallic arms with claws on the end.
A close up of the beetle bots face. It has 9 turquoise eyes and a silver grate where its mouth would be. On top of its head is a massive horn that turns from a deep brown red to white up the top.
The beetle bots shell opens to show a large flatbed to store cargo and it's sensitive electrical parts

I uploaded this on Instagram for Bill Making Stuff's #bigbotbash3 and felt it got very little attention, so thought I would share my 6 week long #scratchbuild with Bluesky too. I took the "big" part of #bigbotbash very literally and this model came in at over a foot long.
#scratchbuilding
I love Scratch building. Have I done any? Not in a very long time
Bill Makes Stuff is one of my favourite channels. Analogue, awkward, brilliant and just creatively awesome.
This is the third yearly #BigBotBash
I cannot praise #BillMakesStuff
highly enough.

photo of a scratch built robot. It's made from pens, beads, plastic spoons, plastic tubes, and dozens of other random misc. objects. It's painted off-white and red. It has a red cross painted on the left size. It has four legs. It's main feature is the three human heads on mechanical tenticles coming out of the front. It's painted grungy and dirty as though it's been through a lot of action.

For your consideration, my entry for #bigbotbash3
I want to post my work-in-progress shots I snapped along with my initial sketches. But! For now! Only bot.

Big bot bash guidelines for 2026. It is an artistically messy zine-formatted page.
#BigBotBash rolled. Now to think up a toothy, spikey-armed, bot with big feet and an exposed body... That I'm totally not gonna make nakey.
It’s time to get started on this year’s #bigbotbash. Herman needs a friend! To mark this glorious occasion, Herman has released his own line of Merchandise, available now from www.imakeartystuff.com

A close-up of a scale model comedic boxing fist on a spring. Made from a bottle cap and other junk parts.
I wouldn't normally go for the comedy weapon, but it just fit so well. Maybe I have a bit of #ork in me after all.

Lil dude has been primed! Now to wait till the weekend to paint the rest “hopefully”. #scratchbuild #junkbot #kitbash #bigbotbash
#bigbotbash by Bill Making Stuff. Decided to try it out (and keep to the recommended height 😬). This is a meaty bot with the Junkboy Generator results: Gooogly head, beefy arms, too many wires, hook hand, weirdo flavor. Haven’t thought up a name for it yet…
#scratchbuild #junkbot
since I finished the #bigbotbash? nothing, I cleaned it and it's drying, gotta take a couple days away from paint :)
