Weathered Kenner droids

[Ryan1982]

that's a pretty sweet model kit there. might have to look into picking one of those up. looks like they'd be fun to paint.

I must get mine out and finish it as well - it's stuck under my desk at the mo.

Hey Thundergod! I'm really sorry, I haven't sent you that thing yet. Been really busy at work this last couple of weeks. It's on the way I promise.

They seem to be a bit pricey in the UK, or am I just a tight git?? LOL

Probably a little of both...

Shipping would be high from the U.S. I'm sure, considering box size.

Don't worry about it DG , I'm up to my armpits in droids at the moment anyhow!
Speaking of which , I managed to repair my Battle droids broken hip , which involved completely rebuilding BOTH cylindrical hip parts . I had hoped to have this guy finished this weekend but I guess that ain't gonna happen! On a more optomistic note , my Super-Battledroid is 99% done so he WILL be done for the weekend . Pics to follow .

Can not wait to see pics Thunderpants

Here's a couple shots of the Super BD . Simple re-paint with a bit of added articulation to the forearms. Toyed with the idea of adding ball-joints to the shoulder and hips , but after my experience with the "regular" BD , decided against it .

Love the SBD T-God

...and that trooper... Wow! Go get a job at Sideshow mate. Show 'em how it's done.

nice Tgod v nice.
If you pop the hand on a radiator or heat it up a little you can cut through the hands like a warn knife through lard then re-glue them into a fist.

I kind of wish I still had all those Supers mind you they have gone to a goodhome

Love to see more pics TGod, and DG did you ever finish yours?

I was considering cutting the hand into a fist , but wasn't in the mood for more cutting/sanding /gluing ( fatigue brought about from work on the "Clanker"). The heating up technique sounds good though.
( And DG , stoppit , your making me blush!)

LOL you know me Mark, first out of the blocks, then run out of steam at 50m - I'l finish 'em one day, I've got three Regular battle droids, One SBD and the "STAP" kit (I think) when the rest of my Cloneobi's arrive and my SS EpII trooper it might spur me on to finish the droids.

...I'll need some caste helmets first though...

No need for blushes mate (unless your typing neckid in which case watch where you put that super glue!!) The work speaks for itself!

They've gone to a very good home, thanks Mark......more droids hopefully making the pond crossing soon enough

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

I got hold of a model STAP..... really cool. and the droids are very very good.

This is as far as I have got.

[Vivisect]

Nice to see you picked one up, is the articulation working out well?

 

[Ryan1982]

[Dorgmal Snow]

Cheers Ryan, as for the articulation Bill!! gonna need a lot of tweaking.
