Many thanks

Although the prequels are not my favs in characters and ship design (but the story concept is great), I kinda had to build these kits. I was winning them in a model contest for my McQue "Last Airborne" some time ago.

The kits are toy-like and not very accurate (wing thickness i.e.). Ok, the original film design looks like a toy, too.

So I needed some optical enhancement for a little compensation. Like 1 or 2 battle droids. Turned out I needed at least 5 or 6. Finally made 10.

Some impressions from the droid factory.

Including blasters and backpack, every droid needs about 57 pieces cut from sheet and profiles.

For better sense of scale: my cutting mat grid is 10mm.

Blasters:

Backpacks:
