Brickdoctor Posted June 7, 2010 Well, I built this for a contest over on MOCpages, but rest assured, it far exceeds the level of most MOCs on that site. I am aware that the STAP should be all brown, but the piece I used for the front of the engines is only available (as far as I know ) in gray. I decided, since it was the perfect shape, to use it and then make the 'wings' gray also. Overall, I like the effect, which offsets the use of gray pieces in the body. Besides, according to the Episode 1 Vehicles book, the Trade Federation used cheap paints and sealants on their vehicles, which is why many of the vehicles in Episode 1 were already 'battle damaged' and scorched. We can say the same for this model. Finished in May 2010, see more on MOCpages. C&C welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ras 74 Posted June 8, 2010 Great MOC Brickdoctor! If it was all brown alot of the details would vanisgh into the model. I like that it is not all brown. And battledamaged, it works as well. The droid it self is very well done as well. Good luck in the competition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickClick Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) That looks great! I love the UCS BattleDroid Edited June 8, 2010 by BrickClick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Who Posted June 8, 2010 That's a very nice MOC, Brickdoctor! If you plan on modifying anything, I would suggest trying to add fingers on the droid though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted June 9, 2010 If you plan on modifying anything, I would suggest trying to add fingers on the droid though. Sorry, don't see that happening at that scale. If it was all brown alot of the details would vanisgh into the model.I like that it is not all brown. And battledamaged, it works as well. Like I said, I like the effect and it accents the MOC well.

XimenaPaulina Posted June 10, 2010 I love how you did the battle droid and STAP on that scale, nice work brickdoctor! Your MOC is one of the most original I have seen lately since I rarely see MOCs of that scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickdoctor Posted June 10, 2010 Your MOC is one of the most original I have seen lately since I rarely see MOCs of that scale. Probably the main reason behind this MOC. I'm addicted to small vehicles (AT-RTs, 74-Zs, BARCs, and the like), but I wanted an original twist for the competition I was in. (suffice it to say that I would have been annihilated by the opposition had I chosen to build a minifig-scale STAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lt.Gonville brickhead Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) i think the stap and the battle droid are great :thumbup: Edited June 12, 2010 by lt.Gonville brickhead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ILikePi Posted June 12, 2010 This is brilliant! The brick-built droid looks very cool (I love the use of a droid torso for the neck!), and the STAP is nice and sleek! Did you ever think of also making a tactical droid? The body looks like it would work quite well. By the way, what does all of the Aurebesh on the pictures say? I don't want to look it all up.
