The Empire strikes back - Probe droid hyperspace / hyperdrive pod scratchbuild resin

[Themodelshopman]

I started this project monday two weeks ago, thinking i would have a model ready perhaps by christmas. It is ready now - 99 % made from scratch
I doubled every meassurement on the original studio scale model. That resulted in am model 8 times the volume, 43 cm long it matches the SS escape pod

Next is doing a full paintjob and building a displaybase

Absolutely wunnerful build!
When stuff like this happens as fast as it did, you were ready, and it shows!

No "hobby speed" bulding here.

Very motivational/inspirational!!

Phenomenal work

Thanks -and yes, i am a bit dazed by how fast it was going. Most satisfying though

I could see those used as quad-pods in a PROMETHIUS type Space1999 Eagle II lay-out. A rover bay where the usual aft engines go.

Very cool!

I wonder if the Black Series Probe Droid would fit in there?

That is insanely beautiful! 2 Weeks? My hat is off to you on that as well.

What type of silicone did you use for the casting? I do not believe I have ever seen that red-ish color before.

Cheers,
Jason
