OK so those of u following this project will know that I'm building the droid torture chamber scene from ROTJ. So the next character up is the creepy white dude who is cranking the lever to brand the poor Gonk droid. I've probably made him a bit tall but he needs to be visible standing behind the whole Gonk torture apparatus. Didn't really take any build pics along the way coz my phone died.

Anyway, here he is

Hope u like...obviously a bit difficult getting decent pix in a cluttered workshop but I'll shoot some more when the full set is staged properly

Good work! I can't wait to see the entire droid torture chamber. How do you get on new prop ideas that no one has done before? Your work is always so awesome!

That is pretty friggin' sweet! I've been kinda interested in that dude for awhile. What did you make him from? I was always thinking of mostly styrofoam (coated) and PVC pipes. With lots of other bits and details.

Thanks...he's mostly 3D printed but I used bits of crutches, scooters and shock absorbers for some of the arm/leg parts

I have to say, I've always loved 8D8 and WILL build one in future. This build is inspiring and would really appreciate if you could share the actual parts you used for the arms/legs etc.
Looks like you've added pieces to the arms to allow them to move too?
Best of luck with the rest of the build.

I also love 8D8. Something so sad about him. Being in that creepy dungeon, emotionless, torturing errant gonk droids.
