What this video covers

VanOaksProps walks viewers through building Star Wars-inspired wall panels by repurposing discarded electronics and tech parts into sci-fi greeble-style décor. The project is framed as accessible and low-cost, leaning on creative assemblage rather than specialized skills. A series of spray paints — including matte black, granite grey, rust primer, and silver acrylic — are used to unify the salvaged components into a cohesive, cinematic aesthetic. The finished panels suit a home haunt, themed room, gaming space, or event set dressing.

Key takeaways

  • Salvaged electronics become convincing sci-fi wall panels with minimal cost
  • A simple paint workflow (primer, base coat, accent colors, clear coat) ties mismatched parts together
  • No advanced fabrication skills are required — creativity and found materials do the heavy lifting
  • The technique scales easily: collect more parts for larger or more detailed panels
  • Works equally well for Halloween haunts, cosplay backdrops, or permanent themed room décor

Who this is for

Fans, home haunters, and set designers who want affordable, eye-catching sci-fi wall dressing without specialty tools or materials.

Materials mentioned

  • old electronics
  • matte black spray paint
  • satin granite grey spray paint
  • rust oxide primer
  • red paint
  • silver acrylic paint
  • satin clear coat

⚠ Safety notes

Use spray paints in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate respiratory protection.

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
