IT-0 small size build - sgmorton - 07-02-2018

I recently decided I needed a break from the Astromech building and decided to do a little fun build. I am not trying for perfectly accurate but I do want the spirit of the droid to be remain.

I started with a model I purchased and 3D printed The size is roughly 14" around not quite the 18" of the original.

There was going to be lots of sanding in my future so I used XTC-3D to take off the edge and got to sanding.

First Pass

A trip to the local Electronics Parts Outlet(electronics junkyard) yielded some greeblies.

Another round of sanding and I am starting to wear off the details...

Next I started using my vinyl cutter to make the bits needed for details.

... and I hate it... I clearly have made the lines to thick so they are coming off

In addition I have some of the instruments coming like the forceps and test tube holder.

Nice!

Love the Original Trilogy stuff.

Very cool! 14 in in diameter would make it a nearly perfect scale match for my R2 units. Maybe someday we'll be able to snap a photo of them together. (never know)

Cool!

another day a little more done. bit by bit... I like how it's coming together so far.

I added a little top detail and the forceps, in order to mount the forceps I cheated. I used a torch to heat the ends up and then melted them right in place. I then cooled them rapidly with a few ice cubes and viola a perfect mount hole.

Fixed up the aerosol dispenser and mounted it as well.
