discussion STAR WARS FLOATING DROID.

[eddiesolo]

This is something I have been working on for a while, all scratch made from a salt grinder, sweetie container and old camera parts, LED's fitted. This is about the size of a Gala Melon so not too big but a nice size. All weathered and worn.


This worn and battered droid floats around Mos Eisley gathering information for its owner...

This is a great build, i personally am a big fan of Star Wars and absolutely love the weathering and time you have put into that model, great work!

Thank you Louis, glad you like it.

Really like this Si. Weathering is particularly well done. Not being a follower of Star Wars, I have no idea what this is lol but I really like it. Great ingenuity in the construction.

Like this Si , although im not familiar with it ( even though ive seen most of the star wars films) . The weathering is top class its really got a look of battered metal to it , cheers tony

 

[Guest]

Nice one Si.


Great weathering as usual.

 

[Snowman]

Well SiFi you've done it again another great build from a pile of junk very nicely built and weathered

 

[eddiesolo]

Thanks guys, a fun build from just stuff that would in up in the recycle bin.

 

[Guest]

Up to your usual standard si a master of weathering.

 

[bazers]

Great work Si

 

[Guest]

I am calling the authorities! You can't be stealing props from movie makers and posting them online, claiming you "built" it!


Seriously, that is a very nice job. The weathering is outstanding. If you were to post that you bought this from LucasArts, or Disney, or whatever, I would have believed you. Very much looks like the real deal.

 

[Guest]

This is just... A genius work, no kidding! I just love the wheaterring!

 

[monica]

Jeez Barrie, coming from that is praise, compared to your builds this is nothing. The paint job is so simple, has to be for me lol. Just a primer coat, then a metallic coat, when dry just some water and salt, splash on sprinkle salt or rub on with a moist finger where you want the metallic to show through, then just add your top coat, leave to dry and rub the salt off.

Hello Si,


do me a favour painting is not my game I wish it was some people are brilliant at it getting effects and weathering just right you are one of those people, building is another I love to build but when it gets closer to the dreaded painting stage I tend to slow down, on some of my models you will notice I have just applied a primer coat so that people like yourself can do the magic and make the model into some else all together much better.


how far from Preston in Lancashire are you if you do not mind me asking, maybe I could drop a model off for you to do your magic on in the future. ( for a small fee of course )


regards Barrie ( the old guy who can not paint for toffee )

Very, kind of you to say so Barrie, although I doubt my skills are upto your builds. I live around 60 miles away near Wakefield.
