Extremely cool. I love scratch built models. Its an awesome rendition of a probe droid. Makes me want to scratch build exclusively. Ohh yeah the guardian dio is spectacular as always. I was wondering if you would age obiwan he is perfect.

Cheers mate and doing a model or custom from scratch is a great way to let those creative skills loose plus it gets rid of alot of excess bits and pieces

Hi All,

When I saw HALCION's Probe Droid I knew that I had to give one a go and again thanks for the inspiration mate. The MK-V's were made 20yrs ago but are still used in harsher climate planets such as Tatooine as they are very tough and could adapt very quicly to almost any enviroment.
 
RECIPE
       
Probe Droid MK-V - is a mixer of an old webcam, tooth pick lid, revoltech joints, plasti card tube, plasti card strips, 1/6 scale parts,1/35 scale parts and 1/72 scale parts, Hasbro parts and Star Trek model parts.
 
Base - is a gaming base from GW and the sand is just a mixer of plaster of paris, fine sand and PVA glue. The rod is some left over plasti card tube I had in the bits box and has another piece of plasti card inserted in the centre for added strength.

Hi All,

Well I decided to start this dio before I head into surgery on Wednesday so the hard part is done as i won't be able to move around to much for the first few days (don't worry just getting my ankle done again 6th time lucky )

Anyway the vaporator is 85% complete I just need to add a few more little pieces, the main body is done from plumbers materials and the bits and pieces on it so far are parts from 1/35 and 1/72 scale tanks, hasbro part and plasti card.

I decided to chiller bars are made from plasti rod and the tops are 1/35 sclae rockets.

Cool. I like the design.

[Tamer]

Nice work Ron. Good luck with your sixth surgery. Geesh, hope they get that right this time.

Off to share.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Well best of luck with your surgery buddy! As for the dio, I am loving it! The use of the "slip fix" is just perfect for this scale and I hate to tell you this. I saved one from a job for this exact use. LOL! What glue did you use to attach the styrene to the PVC base? Can't wait to see you able to get back on this one!

[hemble]

Hi All,

JDeck, Tamer & Luke Sprywalker - Guys always apprciate the comments thank you and Spry and Shawn cheers guys and yeah hopefully this one goes well fingers crossed.

Spry I was walking thru my local hardware store to try find something larger enough to make an escape pod and cam across the "slip fix" and when I saw them I went I know they can be good for, as they say mate great minds.

I just used ZAP A GAP superglue to adhere the styrene to the PVC had to clean the PVC first and then lightly sand where I wanted to glue the items.

Hi All,

Not much happening with the diorama tonight except that I was looking at it with the sandtrooper and wasn't to happy with the sandtrooper then I tried two and still wasn't happy with the way it looked.

So I decided that since I have already done a snow and forest speeder diorama's I would do a desert one now.  As you can see by the dio I'll have the speeder next to the vaporator with the scout leaning against it taking a break.
