This airwick "stick up" (nice) air freshener has been stuck on the sunroom wall here for years and years and finally it twigged with me recently.

Just added a couple of plumbing o rings I already had and a coat of matt black I already had so it didn't cost me anything.

I'm just about done with this. The base toy cost $6 and the materials for the scratch building cost about $20 all up, so it's a $26 budget scratch build

This is something I started when ROGUE ONE trailers first hit YouTube. Since the film has hit Blu ray, we get to see this prop is greater detail and how far off I was with this. Anyway it is a something from nothing build so it will have to do.

It just bits of scrap plastic I had in my workshop and the handle is a bit rough as my plunge router died and I had to cut it out by hand.

I only decided to finish this because next weekend is Stormtrooper Weekend at Dreamworld. My kids will have their JAWA costumes and I decided to see how many people will even spot a Jawa carrying plans to the Death Star.

The Technotrousers from the Wallace and Gromit movie, "The Wrong Trousers"...

Not quite finished - have to add the rings around the top of the boots, a little more paint here and there, and some buttons on the "control panel"

The only two things I bought for this one are a poly-coupler and a copper pipe-reducer, about $6.
