More Photos Spoiler Notes Spoiler The image below was my main reference, but Hutch has been heavily modified, so it deviates quite a bit. I just liked the idea of a big, gentle, nervous robot exploring the galaxy. The idea that he wears a bit of cloth like a cloak, as if it might protect him or maybe it's a security blanket, is funny to me. Thanks for looking!

Brick_Barrage101 Posted May 3, 2021 Wow dude! That’s so detailed, really great design, I’m just so, so impressed, well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starwarcam Posted May 3, 2021 I am a big fan of the colors and the way they pair with the scenery. The balance between symmetry and asymmetry is just right. Also thanks for introducing me to this clone wars artwork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marvelBoy123 Posted May 3, 2021 Really nice idea with the probe droid - so glad that someone used this episode to build something mech-like. I think the colours work really well especially with the bright sea. I think I slightly preferred the head design that you shared in the WIP stage - all the sensors looked really cool! The landscape is also really great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Bjorn Posted May 3, 2021 I was worried when you shared the WIP, that this would be too much mech. It is a little manga/mech, but also really well done... Not totally sold on it in-universe, but the model is badass! Great texture on the beach as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MKJoshA Posted May 4, 2021 I like it! Just Star Wars-y enough to fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n1majneb Posted May 5, 2021 I've enjoyed following the build of this, a very unique probe indeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvogon Posted May 6, 2021 Great droid! A bit Transformers-biased but still SW enough. Great details and surface! I guess I need to grab an Avengers set to get those ball joins . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
