October 22, 201113 yr That's actually really nice, especially for your first MOC! It's pretty accurate, and you made good use of that big piece. I would like to see more of your work in the future.

October 22, 201113 yr Hi there, thank you for sharing this MOC. But in the future, pls. kindly observe proper capitalization in your posts. I've edited the title to a more descriptive one.
October 22, 201113 yr thanks, only thing i would like to make the arms a little longer.... That's a good idea, it would be more accurate. Maybe I'm picky now, but you might remove the 2x2 dome at top, as a probe droid doesn't have one. I would replace it with a longer antenna, as that would increase it's accuracy. But hey; just do what you like, I'm not here to change your MOC's. Edited October 22, 201113 yr by Hollander
October 22, 201113 yr Great work 'lego envy', though I happen to agree with your idea of longer arms. May the Eurobrick be with you !
October 22, 201113 yr Author Great work 'lego envy', though I happen to agree with your idea of longer arms. May the Eurobrick be with you ! thanks, i just need to figure out what to use on the arms..
October 22, 201113 yr That's easy, black BD arms the bent ones that is....remember in ESB it's arms hung downward if my memory serves me correct, just interlock into the current straight arms.
October 22, 201113 yr Author That's easy, black BD arms the bent ones that is....remember in ESB it's arms hung downward if my memory serves me correct, just interlock into the current straight arms. i tried them.. when you put them together they fit sideways.. That's easy, black BD arms the bent ones that is....remember in ESB it's arms hung downward if my memory serves me correct, just interlock into the current straight arms. also, somehow i need to add a type of hinge to the arms tyat way they can easily bend.
October 22, 201113 yr Try rotating those blue robot hands holding the straight BD arms.....then the curved/bent arms will point downward.
October 22, 201113 yr Try sandwiched plates in the fashion of lowlead's Probot. This way the stud connections double as joints. Also, lightningtiger is correct.
October 22, 201113 yr Author Try rotating those blue robot hands holding the straight BD arms.....then the curved/bent arms will point downward. that worked thanks... the only thing is i don't have enough arms to do it all.....lol looks like i will be on a hunt to get some, or figure something else out... thanks for the props guys.
October 23, 201113 yr The new arms are an improvement, but you may want to make them even longer to increase it's accuracy. As you can see here, the arms are not stretched, but they actually hinge at several places. Edited October 23, 201113 yr by Hollander

October 24, 201113 yr Hmmm.....I like your use of the drill bit for the base, and I can't wait to see the improvements!

October 24, 201113 yr Very nice work, especially for your first SW MOC! It's come a long way since the beginning, and the only criticism that I would have now is that the snow seems a bit too chaotic, but otherwise good job! This would make a great entry for the community build.

October 24, 201113 yr See, now it's perfect 'lego envy'.....and that vig with Han and Chewie.....matches the MOC perfectly ! AWESOME work and may the Eurobrick be with you 'lego envy' !
October 24, 201113 yr yes, i know the snow is funky ....lol i will work on it too... Basically it needs to be smooth. I'd say don't have so many random pointy thing sticking out of it and cover as much of it with tiles and slopes as possible.
