Fake Plastic Trees

Hello, Gallardo. Thanks for your input! Yes, I did try that piece, referred to on Bricklink as a 1X2 inverted bracket. The problem is that the bracket along with a printed tile sticks out too much and takes away from the cylindrical shape of the body. It ends up looking good from certain angles but only when you are facing the tiled piece. When I get home from work I'll show you what I mean. I have been wondering if there might be a way to use the minifig backpack piece (Neck bracket on BL) and place a single printed tile on top similar to how the new snowtrooper backpacks are.

Thank you for the compliments and warm welcomes! Markus, you're just the kind of guy I was hoping could come along and have some great ideas to improve these little droids. I am pretty satisfied with LIN-V8K but 2X-7KPR, particularly his middle section just needs something else. I tried using an existing astromech droid body but then that made him too tall compared to the other droids. He is supposed to be the smallest. If anyone decides to try building these I would be very curious to see the results.

Hello Eurobrickers, Long time lurker, first time poster here. I have seen some of the works of pure genius on display and I was hoping to tap into this vast vessel of creativity. Many of us myself included are loving the 75059 Sandcrawler. It comes with a host of droids but is missing two key droids present during the Jawa droid sale scene: 2X-7KPR and LIN-V8K. I have spent hours trying to come up with brick built versions of these two droids. It's difficult to achieve Too-ex and LIN's size relative to the other droids but this is what I came up with. I am hoping that some of the phenomenal builders here can improve on my versions; any and all criticism or suggestions are welcome! Here's a link to a picture of 2X-7KPR next to the R-1 droid. And another with LIN-V8K.
