Final Star Wars/Kenner mini-rig!
My last Star Wars/Kenner mini-rig is the PDT-8 (yay……) Okay, why the ‘yay’? Because it’s a stupid vehicle! Like, if I was there on Hoth or wherever with the Rebels and we had to rush off to HQ I’d walk. It’s fine. Even if I had to walk a good mile or two across Hoth. At night. I. WOULD. WALK.
Anyways, it got released as a set and so I made it.
It’s not got the sharp angles of the original but I did build it out to give it some depth so I really hope that works. I even managed to get the stupid three feet to stick out like they did on the original like some kind of weird mutant duck that had trouble standing (can you tell I really don’t like the original rig?)
And hey! Unlike the original the doors to my set ACTUALLY REACH THE GROUND so the passengers can get off this stupid bathtub!!!
I was really happy with the result even though I know it’s a bit blocky but I do like to think it works. (Does it?)
Okay, and yeah, the photo I took here was from one of the other toy photo examples with Han and R2-D2 along with other Rebels. I did try copying the original using FK-7 using the one from the Hoth mini-set but it’s STUPID HUGE!
Yeah, that didn’t work.
But man, I really enjoyed doing these. Should I try doing the second series? There was some crazy stuff that came out with that!
So this was a real passion thing for me but also a practice run for my big project plan (which I hope works) that’s about my favourite musical/play/movie/opera (and maybe book? Cartoon? I dunno…) Anyways, I’ll say more soon if the integral/mechanical part of the set works… Sorry, early days and I like being secret dang it!
More soon! Bear hugs!
