While other folks here building up their fantastic SS Probe Droids i've tried my luck on this ugly little fellow, the Attakus Prode Droid.
It's a sculpted model made out of polystone. For a sculpted model, from a manufacturer that normally only make polystone figures it is a nice, very detailed model which shows a "hybrid" between the lifesize prop and the ILM Studio Scale model.
Things i wanted to change to make it more look like the ILM studio model:
- cut the three legs from the base and mount it on a pole
- cut the legs itself and put them in another position
- build a new cannon (the org. part had a wrong shape)
- add some of the missing details
- rebuild some of the lenses/"eyes"
- rebuild the whole area at the top of the head
- make a compl. new paintjob
here we go
... separate the legs from the base and cut the leg-parts
... mill-cut the top area of the head. Damn, that polystone is hard, heavy and toxic :sick
... rebuild the area
... the new cannon
... the re-sculpted legs
... the well known painting horror with the probot :wacko
i take the pics in the star wars chronicles for reference.
here the base tone with the first light filter
... some comparsion pics
... and finished :cool
thanks
