So a pretty simple build to follow the Landspeeder...although this is going to be part of a bigger project to recreate the whole droid torture chamber. Which means R2, 3PO and EV-9D9 which I've already done, 2 Gamorrean guards, 8D8 torturing the Gonk droid, and the little courier droid, 2-1a on the rack. As well as a load of kit lying around and maybe a broken CZ-4/RA-7. Anyway here's the Gonk
So thanks to a previous build, Spacebob, I think, it was established that the base boxes for the Gonk were Osmaflow 25 gallon water tanks. These haven't been in production for years and were only really available in the UK. So onto Fleabay and after a few weeks I score 2 of them for £20! The owners, like everybody else had no idea what they had been used for and didn't really know Star Wars (weird)
Finally, a piece of kit that's actually easier to find in Britain. They are huge too...much bigger than I would have guessed, but I s'pose they did have to house a little guy inside
I've already modelled and printed most of the other greeblie parts and the rest will be from my boxes of stuff
There seems to be many different variations of Gonk livery but I'm going for the classic Sandcrawler droid
