#custom droid

Okay no more droid daycare for a while.

Finally have my custom droid from Disneyland's Droid Depot out! I decided on a purple BB-8 with a purple Scoundrel personality chip. Named it Cricket (CR1CK37). It's a very active bugger and I plan to do some custom paintwork on it down the line.

Also currently debating trying to add another red stripe next to the center seam to disguise it a bit better.

Also added an open panel on the head. Printed out a nice little bunch of internals, but forgot to account for the amount of plastic on the inside of the head. Ended up having to do some modification by hand. Also a little messier than I would like but it’s the best it’ll be!

Also stole an old gunpla sword as an antenna. It’s pretty solid, but I’ll probably replace it with a printed part eventually.

Pretty happy with how it worked out, definitely needed more hairspray though.

Second rainy-day project: Followed Ruthsarian’s tutorial on adding a tilt switch. Works perfectly!

Ngl this was supposed to be just a light dry brush of silver. Got a little carried away…
