My 1:1 BB-8 on a budget

Looks good to me, nice work [emoji6][emoji1303] would like to have a go at one of these when I finish my R2 [emoji16]

I have to go back and finish my R2 when I'm done with BB8.

Haha the easiest trap to fall into, starting another droid before finishing the first [emoji57] I'm trying my hardest to focus on just the one [emoji6]

Here is a close up. Not as clean as a printed one, but I did it freehand so I'm pretty happy with it. Besides, as soon as you take a step back you can't even tell how rough some of the lines are.

That work is beautiful.
"Rough" is hardly the word I'd use.
For me, I'd take those freehanded lines over 3D printed ones any day.
I applaud your work.

All done painting. Trying to figure out a cheap way to add some lights and sound and possible head rotation. Really happy with the results. Total cost was under $150.
 
I don't have the dome dimensions anymore. I had used reference photos and measured them blowing the photos up to full size. For the body panels I just googled images of them and used those as a template.

Your BB8 looks amazing! It's so hard to believe it came from a simple globe and a sphere. Your scribing work looks fantastic. Great Job!
