Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

[D.R.37]

Living in California (40 min from SSC) sucks for buying from sideshow... tax plus shipping. This guy would be $290 by the time I got it

 

[D.R.37]

Just scored a super deal on a brand new one. Stoked no battery leakage. Much lighter and bigger than I thought it'd be. Back in box with batteries removed until I can make space and properly set him up. Glad I kept this on my hunt-list... got lucky on eBay once again.

 

[Ahab]

Ahoy!
Adding some elements to this ol' boy...

 

[D.R.37]

Nice weathering. Looks like the Empire has put that one to good use

 

[Ahab]

Indeed! I always figured the Empire would use and abuse these machines quite a bit. This guy's been on a few tours, at least.

 

[Aliaz]

Very Nice weathering!

 

[Patriot666]

Looks great Ahab!

 

[Kamandi]

Very nice weathering. For people who are looking for weathering reference for the screen used model this is the 1:2 scale on exhibit:

 

[Ahab]

Great reference, Kamandi! I've seen pics of that model online... a great resource indeed!

 

[Ahab]

Ahoy!
Home stretch...

Wow, very nice Ahab! This and your K2SO look great. What techniques are you using for weathering. Looks so good!

Noticed this is up for pre order at Sideshow again.

Third issue! Wow Sideshow, just.....Wow!

I would like it in my collection but with so much coming out it has not been a priority.

Still if I miss it this time I can catch the Fourth run.

Honestly you can't go wrong with this piece. It's a beauty. I have mine alone on its own shelf and it has a nice presence.


And killer weathering ahab.......

Ahab, that looks great! I'd also like to know your weathering techniques if you're willing to share.

 

[Kamandi]

That color pass on the weathering looks so amazing. Post some more!

Thanks Man! Dig the layout you have going there!

 

[Ahab]

Ahoy, and thanks everyone for the supportive words on the weathering!
I'm putting together a little something for my Tamashii R2 mods that will include some techniques and steps that are common to K2 and the Probe droid. I'll be posting those in the customs forum in the next week or so.

Cheers
