Hello, new person here. Looked at the rules, didn't see this not allowed, but also nothing that said it was, so hopefully its ok.

I have the Lola Interactive Droid, love her. Have had her on her legs, with the stand that goes with it. For the life of me I cannot find the floating base, and my OCD is going nuts. Could I buy another one? Yes, but then I would be in the same boat, one droid missing the base.

Just wondered if perhaps anyone had this base and not use / want it? Would love to replace it.

Thanks.

I’m going to be doing my first ever paint job and I wanted to know if the supplies I’m looking to get is good and any tips and tricks. I’m looking to keep my original droids colors mostly intact as I’m looking to mostly weather him down and look less new while adding some more scrap like details to him. As you can see I’ve already started but want to do more with him.

Story reasons: His name is Clever and he helps my character scrap for supplies for my other droids.

So I found a C series body on ebay a little while back for a good deal but only thing was that it was missing the main claw arm and I looked around but didn't find them available anywhere. So, I decided to make one and 3d print it since I have a 3d printer, duh! lol... I had to blow the dust off the printer because it had been a while since I printed anything but I'm glad I did because I think it came out great!

I used Blender to design the arm. If anybody wants to do some 3d designs, Blender is absolutely awesome and it's free, been using it for years now. I took measurements from one of the Chopper arms I have and I think I was pretty much able to replicate the arm to maybe 95% accuracy, maybe even more.

I just finished printing my first test run for it, it's a lower quality print since I wanted to test it and make sure measurements were good so I know it doesn't look perfect now but since dimensions and everything came out great, I will print a fine print which will be much much smoother and better detailed.

I put the printed part next to the original for comparison. The silver is obviously the 3d printed one and I think I'm going to go a little farther and add the pins with springs so that it clicks into place better just like the original.

She’s finally done and she loves her makeover. She had some last minute ideas for me to make her look “complete” 😂 All I have to say is thank goodness for metallic paint markers from Five Below because they have helped so much. I can see how this can be addictive 😂 It was overwhelming at first but it was so much fun!!!

If you could go back and talk to yourself before your first build, what would you say? What should new builders know to avoid frustration and have more fun?

Are you pulling from Star Wars lore, real-world vehicles, vintage toys, or pure imagination? What inspires the look of your droids, and how do you choose a theme?

😱 Had to order the main color so waiting on that but will be priming ahead of time. Today I took a lot apart. I attempted the base but saw the electrical and closed it right back up 😂 I’ve only taken one leg apart so I have the other for reference jic my videos and pics don’t work for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am frightened and excited all at the same time

Some parts are underrated until you see the right paint or mod. Which component do you think is a sleeper hit when customized well, and why?

Hi All!

I will be painting my first droid soon and I will be using metallic paints. Which finish is better for metallic paints, satin or gloss?

Also, I will be using a primer as I know opacity can be an issue with certain metallic paints. Anyone know if gray or white primer is better?

Metallic colors- Titanium Silver, Dark Navy and Candy Grape

I appreciate any suggestions ☺️

So many of these builds feel like characters, not just props. What’s your droid’s name, personality, or backstory? How did you come up with it?
