Looks sweet as a nut J. How did you paint it? Spray can, brush or airbrush?

Reading some of the feedback from the first batch, I'll be sending batch No2 out as proper kits.

Making cleaning, wet sanding, any filing and painting much easier and getting them sent out much quicker also if you guys inadvertently break anything in the building process replacement parts will be much quicker and cheaper to ship /swap etc.

Is the inside of the body hollow?

They are yes, each Gonk is just under 1kg to keep shipping costs down.

Awesome so with a little tinkering we could add fibre optics or leds to these little guys. Very cool. I'm thinking a Battery box inside powering 5 leds. Have the two halves connect with magnets for ease of turning it on and off.

Oh man now I need a Version 2.1!
I think can live with the cylinders a bit lower. Big thanks to RustyJ and Scratch for providing such a clean and accurate ANH Gonk

Made room in mailbox- thanks!

Anyone else's shipment not showing any movement? Last scan was June 10 in the UK. Wasn't sure how long the wait usually was for it to hit the US.

 

[D.R.37]

Mine took just over a week (Los Angeles). No movement from the UK and no customs scan. Just a sudden notification of delivery day of

Just got mine, it is bigger in hand than I thought! Wonderful kit. Just to double-check, were there any lights on the Sandcrawler version? I could not see any in photos.

Looking forward to receiving mine. Paid the balance yesterday and will need to pick up a Coco base to display along with my second set of SS Jawas!

Any chance we can get a WED-15-77 Treadwell droid project next?...

I would buy a WED droid. Heck, I would take all the Sandcrawler droids.
