McQuarrie/Johnston Probe Droid

So I’ve been noodling around with this since 2018, but kicked it into high gear anticipating the ESB display at Wonderfest this June.

Here’s a video talking about some of the process from a couple of days ago:

Legs!

What's the scale on this thing? I love it! I didn't pay attention to whose post it was then thought "I wonder who this is?" and then "Of course..."

 

[moffeaton]

LOL yeah, well…

Scale - a very bombastic 1/6th or maybe larger? It’s big

Great workmanship...very sharp

 

[SCUDMAN]

looks incredible.

 

[Duncanator]

Beautiful work!
What paint is that? I love that bronze color, and would like to use it on a project I have going.

 

[moffeaton]

Thanks! It's a mix of greys (German grey with a smidge more black is pretty close to be honest) and then a mist coat of AlcladII Copper over top.

 

[moffeaton]

Radar assembly is done, and the internals below the hatch area!

 

[joberg]

Fantastic details in there

Beautiful work. I have never seen an image of the concept probe droid, but your model looks fantastic as usual. I have have watched many of your YouTube videos and loved everyone. Thanks for producing and putting your videos out.

Dang Jason!!!! That there is a fine work of art and creativity! Another impressive build up, incredible!

And that paint job/color is absolutely perfect.

Gonna be a masterpiece for sure!

So good to see the McQ work come to life.

 

[moffeaton]

next up - weathering and base!

 

[joberg]

Looking very sharp

 

[Analyzer]

Awesome!

 

[JediMichael]

Very nice. Most pictures of any models from Star Wars you can always "hear".

I also think of the SNES games.
Fought little ones, a bigger one, and this giant boss.

 

[moffeaton]

Added something to sell the scale of this big boy.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

I'm just imagining some Imperial officers watching the feed and the one telling the other "No just have it rip his macrobinoculars off and scare the crap out of that Rebel!"

 

[13doctorwho]

Really lovely work. The binoculars for scale is a beautiful touch!!

 

[joberg]

Love it
