Silent Running drone – First scratch build (COMPLETED)

Re: Silent Running drone – First scratch build (wish me luck)!

Man, this thread brings back so many memories! Well done on the drone. Hard to believe they actually had people inside these little guys. Very clever.

That guy looks so perfect! I would love to see you make a Louie and Huey. Absolutely beautiful!
 
very nice build. I have all 3 of the droids, built from the Wilco models 1/4 scale model. yours is a more accurate representation... now get cracking, and get the other two done :)
 
Amazing work, really looks the part, this is your first scratch! Seezing the little fella brings back the memories of that film as a child, think I'd still well up now lol

Really impressive and inspiring stuff!
 
Oooh, are you a Ghibli fan in general or is it just the mecha?

Love the droids and their base.

Dewey came out awesome and while he doesn't need a base I am all about da base (you can shoot me now). Generally because the base is usually where I get to be creative, but since you scratch built Dewey anyhow hmm. Here is how I see it, I think Dewey came out awesome and deserves a nice looking backdrop more than a "base". I'd like to see him on an L-shaped base that could be modular if you later decided to build his bros. Just simple flat surfaces with some panelling and light weathering to emulate a sci-fi environment. You could make it like the nicest set of bookends ever!
 
Outstanding job, Auto! Hard to believe you haven't scratchbuilt before! He would look great displayed in a small diorama with scaled plants...
