OK, just got chance to check this thread out and there are some great entries in already. Also I love seeing the WIP pics of what everyone is developing.  Pat I really like that Lumia body for a female droid.I just started on my entry yesterday and have decided to finish the droid then show my pics. My entry is going to be kind of odd or atleast very different than anything I have done before. I think WIP pics will spoil the final result in this case. So I hope to be back by next week with the my entry.

Thanks, L.E.!  I put on some more touches today, painting the robotic a beautiful gold, and adding accents to the helmet.  I painted the lower tunic and upper shoulder sash as well.  The next go around, I have to paint the robotics on the legs, and then work on the upper tunic pieces to get them how I like them.  Then again, I may not: I think it's looking pretty nice without them.  I'd have to add in some features to the neck area, but I have ideas for those as well.

I gave my battle droid more of a shoulder width like the concept art shows, and also gave him a tan base coat. I can't wait till he's done. He's gonna look great.

Well I got 2 hours of free time yesterday and finished up my entry. It is a Steampunk Super Battle Droid. I know it is rather odd and if you have any questions just ask.

LS I saw the base figure you used at wal-mart today, I was correct in that it was an Iron man figure, but It wasn't the one I thought it was.  The original figure doesn't have ANY of those added gears and greeblies.  I'd realy like to know what you used for those and you realy should have shown us some WIP shots or before and after shots to show just how much you added....

Squirepec great job on the Air Battle Droid.

Thanks guys and Spudafett you are correct about my figure being Iron Man. I wish I could have found that M1 suit though. It is even more the part but here is the base figure.

These latest entries look great. I love all the greeblies that you add to your items L.E.  Dan, that air battle droid is a great concept too. If hasbro had continued to make great items like these I would still be in the one of each game. Great contest guys. Makes me wish I could customize!

Squirepec, that air battle droid turned out great! I love the balance of colors that you used.

LE, your steam punk droid turned out almost like I had imagined but I still was pleasantly surprised to see it.

Great job to everyone so far. This contest is rocken, folks.
