Probe Droids "R" Us Club

Very nice!!!

Got 3 necks machined up , these have the curvature on the bottom part and slots in to rotate.
As explained before these will suit a electronic probe or a static one.
I think there's only material for 10 in total, not all are white and sown are already spoken for.
I thought mentioning this here as I know all the pd guys check this but will start a jy list for the ten.
Thanks

I have been gathering the bits for the M16 part on the under skirt.Looking a Guys ref pictures(Thanks again Guy) I think I'm seeing a new part?I drew arrows that are a little hard to see pointing at the part.

 

[marsattack]

I think Dave there is an underside shot better than this to see if there is another part present in guys pics.
Will try and see if I can help .
Not really sure what I am seeing in those or of its the back part showing through .
Anyone else??
Thanks guy got you down.

I think your just seeing the other side Dave

 

[dirtydave]

Hey Marcel,yeah at first I was thinking maybe it was part of a already ID part.The more I look at it,I think it's a separate part.
Can you also put me down on the list for the neck part.

Finally caught up to Mars :thumbsup. Not totally finished, still some cleanup to do but all the major bits are there.
Waiting now on a plastruct order so will start working out the legs. Started modelling tonight
to work out all the dimensions. I alway though the legs were the hard part but after the head
they will be a breeze (Famous Last Words)

I like test 2 the best with the sounds of the probe itself. Great job

 

[Guy Cowen]

Looks stunning, really great job

 

[qcfoundry]

INCREDIBLY clean work Rob. Looks fake (like it was 3D grown) in some places. really enjoying your build.

 

[dsp5500]

Thanks for the kind words, It's been fun collaborating with mars and watching it come together. Its super solid to, How do i know? Ive thrown it a few times against the wall when I've gotten frustrated with it :lol Definitely will reframe from doing that now the eyes are on.

 

[marsattack]

Hopefully there's more of you out there building this as it seems its only two of us!! Lol
Never mind, this weekend we started experimenting some paint schemes.
I am happy with it and Rob is too so here are some pics .
Any advise welcome .

It does look very different in different light so I did a few shots.
On the last two pics you can see the dark etch primer I had on before the paint and a comparison shot with the new paint colour to show how dark this paint is .

 

[dsp5500]

The effect you got really looks like heavy iron, It looks like it weighs a ton. Love the texture and the paint.:thumbsup

 

[Talkierg]

Wow,very pro job there Mars,its very tricky paint job,but you're nailed it:thumbsup
Superb:love

Wow! This looks amazing! I need to hurry and clear my bench so I can start mine (just the resin kit, but that paint job is inspiring!).
