Hollander Posted October 22, 2011 That's actually really nice, especially for your first MOC! It's pretty accurate, and you made good use of that big piece. I would like to see more of your work in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XimenaPaulina Posted October 22, 2011 Hi there, thank you for sharing this MOC. But in the future, pls. kindly observe proper capitalization in your posts. I've edited the title to a more descriptive one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollander Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) thanks, only thing i would like to make the arms a little longer.... That's a good idea, it would be more accurate. Maybe I'm picky now, but you might remove the 2x2 dome at top, as a probe droid doesn't have one. I would replace it with a longer antenna, as that would increase it's accuracy. But hey; just do what you like, I'm not here to change your MOC's. Edited October 22, 2011 by Hollander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted October 22, 2011 Great work 'lego envy', though I happen to agree with your idea of longer arms. May the Eurobrick be with you ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted October 22, 2011 That's easy, black BD arms the bent ones that is....remember in ESB it's arms hung downward if my memory serves me correct, just interlock into the current straight arms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lego envy Posted October 22, 2011 That's easy, black BD arms the bent ones that is....remember in ESB it's arms hung downward if my memory serves me correct, just interlock into the current straight arms. i tried them.. when you put them together they fit sideways.. That's easy, black BD arms the bent ones that is....remember in ESB it's arms hung downward if my memory serves me correct, just interlock into the current straight arms. also, somehow i need to add a type of hinge to the arms tyat way they can easily bend.

lightningtiger Posted October 22, 2011 Try rotating those blue robot hands holding the straight BD arms.....then the curved/bent arms will point downward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel Posted October 22, 2011 Try sandwiched plates in the fashion of lowlead's Probot. This way the stud connections double as joints. Also, lightningtiger is correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lego envy Posted October 22, 2011 Try rotating those blue robot hands holding the straight BD arms.....then the curved/bent arms will point downward. that worked thanks... the only thing is i don't have enough arms to do it all.....lol looks like i will be on a hunt to get some, or figure something else out... thanks for the props guys.

Hollander Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) The new arms are an improvement, but you may want to make them even longer to increase it's accuracy. As you can see here, the arms are not stretched, but they actually hinge at several places. Edited October 23, 2011 by Hollander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oky Posted October 24, 2011 Very nice work, especially for your first SW MOC! It's come a long way since the beginning, and the only criticism that I would have now is that the snow seems a bit too chaotic, but otherwise good job! This would make a great entry for the community build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oky Posted October 24, 2011 yes, i know the snow is funky ....lol i will work on it too... Basically it needs to be smooth. I'd say don't have so many random pointy thing sticking out of it and cover as much of it with tiles and slopes as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
