Hi all,
Well my Astromech fascination continues (in between other projects), and although "almost" finished, here is R5D4

And another shot below showing more detail starting to be added.
Thanks for viewing,

I've always liked this guy, nice to see him get the attention that he deserves - excellent work!

I've always liked the R5 droids, even if they were the "lemons" of the astromechs. What are the chances of you doing an original trilogy R4 unit? I think they have cool "heads."
@Jas; hehe thanks, and yep will get a higher res version soon (with a dodgy motivator )
@evil; R4, yep definitely, I am doing a number of droids for the R2Builders club, and he is on the list
Another quick update, almost done on the right foot now
Oh and did you ever consider to build T3-M4 or the modell from The Old Republic? Would love to see one made with your skills.
But it all starts with a simple base of low ambient dirt and then layers of differing dirt types on top, and most importantly is adding the dirt in the right places (in areas it would gather, skuff marks on edges and moving parts etc.); you can have a lot of dirt on a model but if its not placed right then it looks off and is not convincing, and a lot of times less is better
After my current set of projects I fancied the Black Hole robots next, but T3 is now added to the list also
Yeah, me too.
Thanks, and really want to bang up old R5 even more so that my R2... so more to come
Happy Christmas all, have a good 'en!
I'd love to see VINCENT and Ol' BOB done well!
