wokajablocka Posted December 15, 2011 After seeing Dapper-D2's astromech droid found heremade from the UCS Obi Starfigter head it gave me insparation to finnaly work on mine. Here it is. I tyryed to get a colour scheem going on this driod while trying to keep the proportions and scale right. Fount 3/4 side view Back view Frount view 2 legs, ready to interface into a control pannel Side view, 2 legs, ready to interface into a control pannel Its not bad and if I get time between my ROJ community build I will make a few adjustments. I wanted to get the legs a bit wider. C & C welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) I like the body, but I think the legs are either too long or too skinny. Despite this, solid MOC Edited December 15, 2011 by prateek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wokajablocka Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) I like the body, but I think the legs are either too long or too skinny. Despite this, solid MOC When I was building it I had a small hasbro R2 fig to work off. The proportions are almost correct but I think that the thin circular legs makes them look too tall. I want to work on them and change them as well. I would have like to get the legs and foot pivit like the real droid but couldn't think of anything in that scale.

JackJonespaw Posted December 15, 2011 I would change the body a little, maybe making it a little more detail while taking the risk of making it slightly less cylindrical. That could work well and make it more realistic! Try making the body like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That could work well and make it more realistic! Try making the body like this: I might play around with the body as well. I just want to keep it to the current colour scheem so part selection may be a problem, but who knows waht I might come up with. I dont have a great selection of dark red elements.

Mr Man Posted December 16, 2011 The front leg may be a bit too tall throwing the proportions of a bit but this is still a really great MOC wokajablocka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickmamba Posted December 17, 2011 very nice, maybe just a lil to tall/skinny? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted December 17, 2011 Looking at it again and I think the legs are fine, but the feet are too big/tall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Here's one that's not a toy: http://astromech.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2230&g2_serialNumber=1 And another: http://astromech.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2511&g2_serialNumber=1 Looking at it again and I think the legs are fine, but the feet are too big/tall. Going off the above pictures, the feet seem about right for me. If anything, I think that the gray piece in the middle is causing the body to look too thin. And yes, I think the legs could use a bit of beefing up as well. Nice use of the faucet piece, by the way. It's simple, but it adds that little bit of detail.

Huntleyfx Posted December 17, 2011 For some reason, I am really reminded of the Steam Wars idea (Star Wars+steampunk) Nice droid though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wokajablocka Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys for the C & C, I will try to get around to making some mods on this when I get time. Currently I'm working on my ROJ CB. I will try to shorten the feet and middle leg. I might try another approch to the body as well. Edited December 19, 2011 by wokajablocka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wokajablocka Posted December 19, 2011 I like it just the way it is! Kudos! Thanks Dapper, I would not of done it if I hadn't seen your and got motivated to build it. Ever since I got the UCS Starfighter I always wanted to build a maxi astromech but dint have many ideas running through my mind untill I saw yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
