Star Wars - Battle Droid Dec 29 2003 This is the Star Wars Battle Droid and STAP from Episode 1. This was built straight out of the box. This is a big kit and the Battle Droid is actually not bad. What was a problem was trying to get the arms and legs to fit on the STAP. The arms were not too bad but I have to bend the kit parts to get the feet to be on the pedals. |
The STAP was weathers slightly but I have not finished it or the Battle Droid. The Battle Droid looks factory fresh |
I will have to do a bit of weathering on the silver parts of the STAP |
The weight distribution of the battle droid makes it look like it is falling off or hanging on for his life sometimes |
I guess these droids do not feel pain as the exhausts from the STAP do not melt his knees |
The severe angle I had to bend the legs apart to fit the STAP |
So far the kit has been no problem and has gone together very nicely. The STAP is attached to the base with a metal pin. Nice and strong but the pin allows the entire thing to spin around. As I said the only problem was the joints would not move enough to fit on the STAP properly. Also I guess all the joints as things were too lose and flopped around to much. |
