Yeah. In particular, how?

They look great. In the first shot I thought they were smaller, but in the later shots with the rulers I see that they may be 1/6- or even 1/5-scale? You got quite a lot of detail into them, too. Very nice work.

So... how?

If I recall correctly, the drones were played by amputees.

 

[Wakal]

Just so.

A fairly freaky way to make them "live"; I mean geez, you could have just put a little short guy in there...


Where did they come from? Why, here is a picture of the man who sculpted them and his little friend:

And where can someone get kits to build their own? Hmmm...check the junkyard

two guys and one girl IIRC.

their legs were off at the hip except for one who had stumps, he is in the drone with the longer base.

ingenius for the time.

Nicely done! I highly recommend seeing Silent Running if you've never watched it.
