I Turned a Crab into a Cyberpunk Chainsaw Monster | Kitbashing Project

In this Cyberpunk DIY build, I turn a real crab shell into a fully mechanical chainsaw monster. This project mixes kitbashing, sculpting, and a whole lot of weird creativity. Follow along as I build cyber-legs, wire glowing LED eyes, and create a working chainsaw-style pincer.

If you love model making, prop crafting, or just strange mechanical creatures — you’re gonna enjoy this one.

This build mixes the vibe of Cyberpunk, Terminator-style robotics, and worn-down steampunk machines. The exposed circuit board on its back really completes the cyborg look — like a crab that joined a machine uprising.

⚠️ Note: The crab shell came from a crab that was already eaten. No animals were harmed.
