Studio scale Probe droid, ID and build!

Re: Studio scale Probe droid build.

Great stuff Moe, its ace to see this subject getting some love.

Those are some fine legs mate, have you used some box tubing for the bulky parts of the legs or are they a total scratch?
 
Re: Studio scale Probe droid build.

E=MC2...nobody buddy, its long OOP, was released by Steve Neisen a while back, mastered by our own Rolando Guiterrez.
Quincy.... yes buddy, M16 is used a lot on this model, ive only scratched the surface...its kinda weird, not that many kits are on the PD so far, it seems they just used lots of parts, from the few kits they used....donor wise, its not too spendy....nowhere near the ATST.

bests......lee

What is the M16 ?
 
Re: Studio scale Probe droid build.

Can anybody help me with this part...thought it looked familiar, but cant lay my hand on it lol.

Re: Studio scale Probe droid build.

Sorry, the angle of the first pic was playing tricks with my eyes, i was thinking it was a combo of a few parts like in the pic below...imagine another ammo box cover on the other side sitting on another little bit in the front...the straight on pic looks nothing like it...

Oh, meant to say, ive not got one here yet to check, but these parts could be from the ROCO Gepard, there are two strips on the ROCO, that have holes in them, could be them cut, soon as my new ones arrive, ill double check.

Oh OK I saw the ones on buy it now from Germany, but there was a lot of 4 which was ending yesterday, I thought that was you, a fellow modeler probably won them ! :)

Yeah I need some Gepard for the ISD, I discover more of them every time I'm looking at it lol but as youo said, fortunatly there are several Gepards on the bay !

Keep up the good work, that will be very interesting and inspiring to see an accurate PD !
 
Re: Studio scale Probe droid build.

Ill have two resin turrets from the kit spare if you need them Julien, there average, but stuffed in a brim trench or whatever, should be fine?

Re: Studio scale Probe droid build.

Re: Studio scale Probe droid build.

Im sure Michelle would love that buddy lol.
Like to have you at yours too though, knock heads on the same much loved subject matter.
Whip it out this week ( the droid guys, just the droid) and get to it between nursing the band maybe, bagged another find just now, missing plastruct green tubing on the upper head, its not on the kit head.

Re: Studio scale Probe droid build.

Hey Lee,there's a block on the M16 door that looks close to the block with the 2 holes.
