Yakfinities #70 - DROIDS - WINNERS POSTED

[darthvlad]

Wow! These are some pretty cool entries. Starchaser, I-am-Boba-Fett and darth_sidious. Love the backstories and designs.

Thanks guys, the droid is made from a little Micro Machines size vehicle that I sliced up and added greeblies to. I used pieces of blasters and even a hinge for the eye. The Jawa is just from the TBS 3.75 2-pack to show scale. I'm not sure any of my customs have been described as adorable before - I'm on a new level! It does look like he might be friends with WALL-E though, hahah!

I think i made it in time. Did I make it? Ye, simple head swap and a droid that went too far and now needs a hand...

BB-R2 & BB-R5
Here are my last two entries for the year just before I head out for festivities.

It was a fun contest and I wish everyone a happy New Year.



When X-Wings transitioned to the BB series, the original models had heads similar to their astromech counterparts. This was done so older pilots would be more inclined to upgrade.
Early models had the astromech personality uploaded to the BB units but that turned out to be impractical as the bodies were too dissimilar.

The heads are from the Disney (Mini Sandcrawler) BAD blind boxes. There are 3 different heads with 12 total different droids. I like them for their heads and they can also make a good forced perspective background droid.

- Do you plan on a "Robot Death Match" Photonovel? That would be awesome.

That does sound like an AWESOME idea.

However, I just don’t have the time to even make all the figures I want to make, never mind a photonovel.

For all the droids I made for this contest, I only actually made 1 of my top 10 droids I intended to make. A lot of these ones are just parts I threw together (which I might have sorted to make years before but never got around to it).

I think i made it in time. Did I make it? Ye, simple head swap and a droid that went too far and now needs a hand...

That GI-Joe head does make a great droid head.
Your second droid is fantastic! What’s the recepie?

Nice batch of droids there. What did you use for the head of the last one?

Once again, great job everyone. There were a lot of fantastic submissions.

To make Chewie's life easier for the round up, here are some group shots.













These last 2 shots are some of my unfinished droids. I didn't include my Gonks, Amp, or droids that were unrecognizable.

[my kind of scum]

A lot of great entries this time around! So many cool droids.

 

[darthvlad]

Well, my last couple of entries are a few minutes late, but hopefully they count.

By the timestamp I'm looking at (11:08pm), I'd say you're good... plus, I don't think Chewie is that strict.

I sincerely love you.

Agreed, they will be included.

I think in a week or two I'll have the roundup ready.

:wink:

 

[Evilivo]

These fighting droids are a lot of fun, Utinniii There's a lot going on there!
One more from me before the deadline, this time not just a repaint. By far it looks like an Imperial Assassin Droid of a kind. I like the glossy black on him, but the detail is not that visible. Probably will add more parts and change the colour later, will see

Fantastic looking droid. Do you have a recipe for "him"?

Thanks, darthapathy! I will post the recipe in my customs' thread when I'm finished with him

 

[johnmorog]

I wish I had more time over the holidays. There were a couple droids I had in mind I wasn't able to finish :/ Oh whale. I'll get around to them eventually. I've been slacking lately! Looking forward to this roundup

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I finally had a chance to start going through the roundup report tonight. It's gonna take a while - lots of customs to download, etc. Special thanks to darthvlad and Utinniii for compiling some group shots of their stuff - that will make it happen faster.

:wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Round up report almost done.... over 150 customs... wow.

:wink:

 

[Starchaser]

Thanks Justin, we appreciate the work you do on this - a lot!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

My pleasure!

Ok - it's time for the Roundup Report! Thanks everyone for your patience.

By my count there were around 150 custom droids made... which is crazy! I can't believe how many great customs everyone came up with. Awesome variety and imagination!
