Hi Bob , at the end i didn't resist and i stared building it just after i wrote the last post on this thread, i re draw your plans on illustrator because i wanted to make it smaller, 1:2 scales based on your measures, in the meantime i was working on it i made some research and figure out that i could do some variations just to make it different as the internet references are not much, i wanted to add two back vents since iv'e learned the power droid is a portable battery. i made the structure in 4 mm high grade ply wood , and for the mechanical components i went around at the hardware store and a couple of other things that i recycled in my workshop. i'm stuck a bit on the feet , as i rebuilt it for the second time, still not happy whit it , i think i will try to redraw an updated version same as the one i've just seen in the thread ( sandcrawler screenshot ), i'm stuck also a bit on the weathering ( my friends says its ok), i choose to paint it grey green's and weathering whit some darker green , it reminds ma of Frankestein skin color, and it felt happy whit it as we are getting close to halloween.. i still have to add more weathering details and body parts i will use the red parts same as Bob , thats a good color contrast i think , ( please guy if you would mind any suggestion i will be happy to hear, also for the feet ) for the electrical panel i wanted to add some lighting , 2 different types , the standard kind of droyd ocular orbit, and a rectangular section , yellow that reminds me of the sandcrawler and tatooine... hope you guys like it and let me know what you think and many thanks to Bob! @
spacebob ,
ps.
if you guys want to save some times on illustrator i can provide the vector drawings i've draw based on bob plans, so you can scale it and print it for cutting patterns and part positioning .
