Such a simple droid, but when I got to break him down in design mode, I quickly realised my suspicions were; that this was going to be a bit of a time consumer. And it was, compared to the average stuff I make. Logos and so on.
It isn’t finished yet but I have it at the stage I wanted to do a release and show off what I am working on. Here’s some renders and screen shots from various stages up until today.

Eventually, the model is hoped to be released for 3D printing. It is NOT intended to be perfect and is loosely based on a few reference images. Still, with my father being said to have been one of the unnamed co-designers, and thinking of the SW world out there, I have done this with respect.
Still lots more to do. Some more reference images to check out and a few things to sort of what you can see, not to mention what you can’t see.
