IG88 Build

Here is the Fourth portion of the "CRL", the Hips.







His Hips are a little difficult to describe because they have a lot of unidentifiable attachments. It is a elliptical cylinder that is of greater diameter than the midsection, but similar shape. I have broken them down into pieces.

Piece #1: Is to the right top of the center of the hips. It is a rounded cube attachment.

Piece #2: Is the center piece, thin elongated strip, running down almost the entire hip region.

Piece #3: The "doughnut" looking piece to the upper left of the center. It has a cylinder running through the middle of the "doughnut".

Piece #4: Just below piece #1, looking like a rounded cube with a section missing near the bottom, and a bushing near the missing section.

Piece #5: Just below piece #4, looking like a rounded rectangular cube, flatter than piece #4.

Piece #6: Just below piece #3, looking like a rounded cube, with a rectangular bulge running down the hypotenuse of the cube.

Piece #7: Just below piece #2, looking like a semi-circle, tapering off near the bottom of it. The top of piece #7 has two side by side "greeblies".

Piece #8: Rounded cubes at the top of the hips section on the four corners of where the hips start to curve.

Piece #9: The rounded "ball hinges" attached to the front canisters.

Piece #10: Rounded "doughnut" rivets running down piece #2.

Piece #11: Bushing at the corner of piece #4.

Piece #12: describes the raised slats that run up from the top of the thighs to mid-way up the hips.

Piece #13: The side by side "greeblies" that are at the top of piece #7.

Specifics for Each Section:

The hips should be slightly larger in diameter than the midsection. It should also be slightly longer than the midsection.

Piece #1: Should extend from the top of the hips section and go down to the just below the front canister's "ball hinge" end. And not be wide enough to touch piece #9.

Piece #2: Should start slightly below the top of the hips and travel vertically down to near the bottom of the hips. It should be a flat strip (with the exception of the "doughnut rivets" with curved ends.

Piece #3: Should have a "doughnut" appearance and should have a cylindrical piece extending from the middle of it. It should start just below piece #1 on the other side of the center strip.

Piece #4: Should start directly below piece #1. It should extend (width-wise) past piece #1, and pop out further than piece #1. It should have Piece #11 on top of it.

Piece #5: Should start directly below piece #4. It should have similar length to piece #1, similar depth to piece #1, and should be slightly wider than piece #1.

Piece #6: Should start directly below piece #3. It should be roughly the size of a cube with a rectangular piece on top of it running along the cube's hypotenuse.

Piece #7: Should appear directly below the center strip. It should be semi-circular, and taper down in depth as it goes down vertically. Piece #13 should be at the top of this piece.

Piece #8: There should be four of these cubes at the four corners at the top of the hips.

Piece #9: Should appear as a half-sphere with a nipple in the middle of it, and attaching to the "piston rods" of the front canisters.

Piece #10: There should be three "doughnut" rivets on each side of the center strip.

Piece #11: Should be open cylindrical, be at the bottom right hand corner of the front of piece #4.

Piece #12: Should have about four strips running vertically up the hips from the thighs on each side of the hips. The vertical strip should taper off and disappear near the middle of the hips. There should be a horizontal strip that is just slightly above the thighs and goes around the bottom of the hips, framing the top of the thighs.

Piece #13: Should have rectangular bases that extend about the same distance as the cylindrical bushings at the end of the piece.

The back of the hips are not shown from any pictures, but it is assumed that it is similar to the front of IG88.

So you are staring a build?

Here is the Fifth portion of the "CRL", the Legs.

His Legs are also a little difficult to describe because they have a lot of hoses in and around them, the feet are not visible, and a lot of the shapes are not standard . The legs appear to be two different sized pipes, one for the thighs and one for the calves.

Piece #1: The round lip that separates the hips from the legs.

Piece #2: The shroud for the thighs.

Piece #3: The knee to hip "stabilizers".

Piece #4: The thigh. Seemingly a single piece of pipe.

Piece #5: An attachment to the thigh. Resembles a cross.

Piece #6: The knee. Slightly larger than the thigh with a knee cap attached to it.

Piece #7: A cylindrical attachment to the right shin.

Piece #8: A fork attachment to the left shin.

Specifics for Each Section:

Piece #1: Should extend from the bottom of the hips section, and should be separate from the legs. They should be slightly separated in between the legs. It is comprised of a small lip with a slightly longer section below it framing the legs.

Piece #2: There should be one shroud per thigh. The shape should be relatively curved and extend almost the way down to the knee.

Piece #3: There should be one on each side of each thigh. The outside ones should be a single bar that runs up, while the inside one has a distinctive piece in the middle of the bar. That distinctive piece should appear like two cylinders separated by a smaller diameter sphere / cylinder.

Piece #4: The thigh should be a single piece of pipe. The diameter should not change until it meets the knee.

Piece #5: The cross attachment to the thigh should look as presented in the picture. It should be attached to the thigh on each side in the front.

Piece #6: The kneecap and the knee. The knee should be larger diameter than the thigh, and be connected to the #3 pieces. The front of the knee should have a kneecap attached to it. The kneecap is a long rectangular piece that extends towards the shin.

Piece #7: This piece is a short cylinder with an attachment on the top for a hose and the bottom should have three small spheres attached.

Piece #8: Should be a "Y" fork with longer cylinders at the bottom. the top should be the single end with a hose attachment.

The feet are not shown, but most visualizations of them are a square bottom with the height resembling a trapezoid. Feet are necessary, but the exactly shape and size is not set in stone per the ESB pictures.

Here is the Sixth portion of the "CRL", the Arms.

His Arms are sometimes difficult because of remember the difference between the left and right arms. Both arms are identical from the elbow up, but the elbow down, they are slightly different.

Piece #1: The "ball joint" is a spherical type component with bulging slats in the middle.

Piece #2: The upper bicep is a cylindrical feature with bolts at the top, and a strip down the middle.

Piece #3: The lower bicep is just a simple cylinder.

Piece #4: The elbow is a piece of what looks like the "ball joint" at each of its end, and a collapsible rubber gasket in between.

Piece #5: The forearm is a simple cylinder with some attachments on each arm.

Piece #6: A domed attachment behind the separation of the upper and lower bicep. It has a cylinder coming out of it resembling a telescope.

Piece #7: A "hose-like" attachment on the top of the forearm for the right arm.

Piece #8: A rounded claw at the bottom of the right forearm. Looking like it was meant to support a blaster.

Piece #9: The right claw. Has a figure 8 type pattern to it.

Piece #10: The left forearm attachment. Is a curved piece of metal atop the left forearm.

Piece #11: The left claw. Looks like "C" claws.

Specifics for Each Section:

Piece #1: Should be about as large as the socket for the arm. Should resemble a sphere with 4 to 5 rounded discs coming out the middle.

Piece #2: Should have at the top a wider pressed disc with "nuts" around the rim. That will transition into the cylinder of the biceps. There should be a thin strip going down the center of the front and rear of the bicep. The middle of that strip should have a square bulge with a bushing coming out of it.

Piece #3: Should be of smaller diameter than piece #2. It should also have a smaller diameter coming out of it to the elbow.

Piece #4: The elbow should be bendable, and should resemble rubber.

Piece #5: The forearm should be a cylinder with a constant diameter until it reaches the end "hand".

Piece #6: Should be affixed between the upper bicep and lower bicep. It should have a raised dome feature with a small nipple at the top. There should be another cylinder coming out of the dome at roughly a 45 degree angle pointing towards the ground.

Piece #7: Should be mounted on top of the right forearm. Should be a cylinder with bar attachments on each side binding it to the forearm. A smaller diameter "hose-like" should come out of it, dip down close to the forearm, and end at the wrist.

Piece #8: Should be mounted to the bottom of the right forearm. It should resemble a "C" with the end of the claw having a smaller "C" claw.

Piece #9: The right hand claws should resemble a number eight. They should be separable. The base of the "8" should be larger in diameter than the top.

Piece #10: Should be mounted to the top of the left forearm. It resembles a wave. The end of the wave should be attached near the wrist, Two small stanchions should keep the other end of the wave affixed to the forearm.

Piece #11: The left claws should be curved so that each individual claw looks like a "C".

Hey Stormy320, I already finished the build. Just trying to get my application heard by the 501st.

With the Disney takeover, it is difficult to find IG88 images that are canon. I'm hoping there will be more soon.

What do you mean? There are only just a handful of photographs of the original prop.

Yes, there are only a handful of the original. But with new TV shows, games, and movies, hopefully there will be a reappearance.
