WIP Droid Lava Collector

Same design as Episode III. The photoreceptor color is supposed to be blue, I made a mistake there. If you have any suggestions, you can make one on LDD and post it in this thread or PM me. The "Collection Disk" is in place of the Collection Bucket, as I don't have any trash cans or buckets.

great idea... it's very original.

That looks very close!


If you need more information about it, heres the Site!

1 step ahead of you.

I was thinking of modifiying the arm piece... and maybe buying a trashcan off BL.

This is very nice Alpha, could be a good addtion to any MOC!

Very cool!

Is this for our Mission to Sullust?

I think I might make one of these... modified for Sullust or course!

Or should I steal this design since we are on the same part of the planet?

No, get a barrel and put one of those rounding pieces at the bottom.

It'd be impractical to have two designs of a droid in the same place and not see one kind.

So yes, use this design. I'll PM you with details.

The brown barrel? And what rounding pieces?

Wait, if you used a trashcan, how would you get the droid to hold it?

That trashcan thing with the handle. Bley? LSW II Mos Eisley?

And I'd just experiment with stuff. But I'm using this for now.

Oh whoops! I meant a barrel... I have one and it won't be easy...

Oh. Yeah. How would you make a barrel fit?

Hey I was just designing one for my Mustafar WIP but I couldn't get the eyes right. Still, these eyes are a little bit oversized as well but I guess it's pretty close. Could I use a modified one?

Oh snap! Looks perfect but I'd make the lava bucket a little deeper and thinner. Possibly a bley barrel piece?

Oh, and make the eyes trans blue.

I found a good way to let this droid hold a trashcan, I'll post it once I've finished my OH NO! entry. I've attached hands to the bucket and then let clips on the arms (used 2 clips and a telephone piece for the arms) old those hands. Not really study but it works.

Yes! Sounds legit I can't wait to see pics!

Here's the droid I was talking about. Pic = link

Veeery nice work DP! great design, is it your own?

Yup, it is. Looks a lot like the original in this topic.

Spiffing, top notch, fantabubulous, spleenarific, cool.

Ok, I got it. You can use it if you want.
