The Probe Droid Resin Kit Instructions Tread

Awesome work, J.

:thumbsup

Thanks, guys.
I recommend using Mr. Color Black cut with Mr. Color Self Leveling Thinner to hand paint the smaller eyes. They are now a rich glossy black, show no brush strokes, and were super easy to do.

Nice work mate
And like the colours as well

 

[moffeaton]

I do too - but this is definitely the kind of model that you could paint and repaint a half a dozen times and still think there's more to do. It's really enchanting, to be honest.

Masterful work on your PD Jason. I love what you've done with it. AWE INSPIRING!!!

 

[moffeaton]

I can't think of a higher compliment - the guy we have to thank (or blame, lol!) for getting the Probe Droid off the screen and into our homes liking it! Thanks, man!!

 

[roback]

Ufff.... Spectacular and amazing Job...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jkno]

This is simply insane!!!! thumbsup

 

[Gans]

Thankyou for your info on how to do the eyes
Please leave your pics up as I want to build this, this year if my 1yr old will let me
Great job

Sorry if this is a silly question but is the brass not painted on the legs because the real model wasn't or is it just so the legs move and will scratch the paint off. I only ask as I have seen a few PD with the brass not painted

Thanks

 

[moffeaton]

Both, I think!

Took studio shots (will post tomorrow)... Quincy said this shot:

Reminded him of this:

I can't stop laughing.

Spectacular job there Jason!

It was such cliche, but all I could recall was the Judd Nelson one at the end if Breakfast Club. Your example is so much better.

Such a beauty!!! Love the slam dunk pose!!!!

Actually...the "right" arm looks like it might be making a rude gesture. Who knew the PDs had so much attitude...

 

[moffeaton]

They're pretty sassy, for a droid. When I initially lugged it up from the studio, my wife asked "which one is the ass pinching arm" and I replied "all of them!".
