These were the droids I was looking for...

Something quick and dirty - the Bandai Star Wars Droids from the R2-D2/R4-D5 and C-3PO sets. All three droids have been built up out of the box using the push-fit and with mainly stickers applied - I used the decals for some of the smaller markings as the stickers just looked clunky - oh and C-3POs belly wiring was decals with gallons of micro-sol to try and get it down. The obvious exception to this is the bad motivator and cotton wool smoke added to R4-D5.
Two reasons for taking the quick and easy route; firstly to see how they went together like this as a friend of mine was thinking of having a go these with his young lad and secondly because I felt like some light relief after a four month build. The only annoying flaw with the results is the join across R2's dome which I think could have been avoided with a little more thought - but otherwise happy with these out of the box with relatively little effort.
Oh the base is just a chunk of cardboard from an Amazon box with a coat of Tamiya light sand textured paint.
I had originally planned something like this for Lysus's robot SIG but just ran out of time - sorry buddy.
Thanks for looking.
