The Penguin Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Ladies and gentlemen! ) I present you my latest custom minifig models: Commando Droids as seen in Star wars: Clone wars. ) Plus, i've added some of my other droid models which have already been shown, but not in this forum. ) Commando Droids: (My orange is indeed a bit lighter, but not that light in reality as on the first pic. I guess it's my camera..... ) Droid gunner: (Featured first in my MTT topic in SW forum. ) Firefighting droids: Camouflaged Super Battle Droid: Rocket Super Battle Droids: Who said droids can't be friendly? ) Thank you for your attention, ladies and gentlemen! ) Hope you liked them! ) Edited July 1, 2009 by The Penguin Quote
ADHO15 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I did indeed, Penguin! Those commando droids are amazing! They look really detailed and accurate. The orange is maybe a little bright, but that's not a problem. Well done! I've seen all the others before, but it was a pleasure looking at them again. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see more droids (or other things) soon. Quote
Skipper 24 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Excellent work on these custom droids. The Bright orange is perhaps better because I would never have called lego really accurate and the bright colours make it looks more cartoonish. Is there a reference pic for the camo SBD's? Quote
-JD- Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Is there a reference pic for the camo SBD's? I think they were a figure in Hasbro's toy line a while ago. I certainly do not remember them in the movies/series. Great MODs Penguin! I love your work. The Droid Commandos look stunning, and I take it the clone helmet fits on the head?

Mraz Skintas Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Indeed beautiful.) I think that those Camo Droids were supposed to be in the Battle of Kashyyyk. Will you be making more any time soon?) Now I'm doing the ) thing too.) Quote

Thanks a lot, ADHO15! ) I'm honored that you've found my humble attempts worth your kind comments. ) Indeed the orange is brighter that it's supposed to be: I guess, I should think of a way how to tone it down a bit.... ) Well some more droids are coming soon, for sure. ) Droids and other characters from CW. ) Excellent work on these custom droids. The Bright orange is perhaps better because I would never have called lego really accurate and the bright colours make it looks more cartoonish. Is there a reference pic for the camo SBD's? Thank you very much, Skipper 24! ) I'm pleased that you liked them. ) Well, the camo droid is my own creation, loosely based on the variant, shown by Jammiedodger714. ) I think they were a figure in Hasbro's toy line a while ago.

Greetings, JD EDIT: Link to Rebelscum.com article: Link Yes, thanks a lot for the link! ) Indeed this particular droid gave me an idea to make my own camo droid. ) Thank you very much, Jammiedodger714! ) Yes it does. Oh, how could I forget to take a pic of that! ) Indeed beautiful.) I think that those Camo Droids were supposed to be in the Battle of Kashyyyk. Will you be making more any time soon?)Now I'm doing the ) thing too.) Thank you very much, Mraz 'Skintas! ) Much appreciated! ) To my shame I can't recall now any particular battle, featuring camo droids. But perhaps you are right: planets like Kashyeek, are ideal places to deploy such troops. ) Yes, I'm about to post some other droids and/or other CW characters pretty soon. ) I see..... ) Good day, gentlemen! ) Quote
Sir Gecko Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Great work here Penguin! The fire fighting one look the best in my opinion. And, about the orange on the first Droids I wouldn't worry about it, I like orange. Quote

ADHO15 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 They look great with clone helmets on! Just one small point, the first pic is a bit bright and it's hard to see the helmet well. It's not a big deal though. Well done! Keep it up! Quote
-JD- Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 That is perfect Penguin! You should make a few more and sell them to me. Greetings, JD Quote
Mraz Skintas Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 The darkness of the orange is much more visible in these new pics. I am don't think that they (the Camo Droids) were actually seen, but were supposed to be there. The detail on the droids on Kashyyyk was hard to see. There were Cold Assault Super Battle Droids though. I think you should make one of these as well) And a pic of the Camo SBD.) Quote

Mraz Skintas Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Regardless of how challenging it may be, I faith that you could do it. ) Also, If you did start a business, I would surely buy from you. ) And I just realized that SBD has a blaster rifle in his hand, rather than on it. Quote

That, perhaps, may be the most challenibg thing to do here. ) But, I'll do my best. ) Good day, gentlemen! ) Quote
