    This is a true work of art, design and creativity. Thanks for sharing your love for this line of art. The character makes me feel like he is a humble tempol protector of families that live far away in the woods , the jungle. The people escape from the empire and are kind of one with the land. The kids love him because he brings food and make toys for them.

    Droid looks like something a former Imperial starfighter technician would build as a sentry droid to protect a hideout after deserting the Empire. Something Mando might come across in Season 3 while trying to find this important former technician for some reason.

    Various junk from astromech droids combined to form a vessel for a poor junker/scavenger dying of a lesser known disease, the scavenger managed to copy his personality into his creation, but after his creator died he left and started to form a personality of his own. What he is looking for is not very well known, but I can tell you that part of the junk he is built out of is an old lightsaber containing a kyber-crystal.
    Very cool droid, never expected the end result to have so much personality, yet look so much like a real Star Wars creation straight out of the movies.

    That cape is so jaunty! I love the idea of him picking it off of a scrap pile and thinking "yeah, this is class".
    Also I'm surprised that the design language of the Zaku kit meshes so well with the Star Wars parts!! It's funny, I've built a bunch of Bandai's Gundam models but none of the Star Wars ones. I'll have to remedy that soon!

  • @BoarBound
    @BoarBound 3 роки тому +37

    This Droid looks like it's been walking for a long time so I'd say that perhaps something happened to those who created it (perhaps bandits or the like) and they stole the droid's controller unknowingly (thinking it valuable) so rather than hunting them down to seek vengence for it's fallen creators- It's forced to track the bandits completely undetected by them in order to take it back. I figure instead of being motivated by emotion, this droid really just wants the freedom to get offworld and function peacefully. Whether or not you like that idea: there's plenty of room to build off of it or change it around. None the less it's an awesome build, you never miss.

    • @braydendopper1461
      @braydendopper1461 3 роки тому +3

      Nice! Bouncing off your idea, maybe the droid's goal is simply to find their creator, and the faraway signal device thing that would help it find them was hijacked/looted by said bandits?

    Since you said renfaire, I thought of a backstory for the *Squire droid;*
    _Once upon a time. There was a Mighty Warrior and their Droid. The Droid admired their Master so much, they wanted to be just like them. Many years ago, the Master disappeared one day, having left and never returning. Since then, the Droid has taken it upon themselves to improve their skills and abilities on their own._
    *_The Droid wanders that land as a sort of junior rōnin or knight; helping small villages, saving fair maidens, defeating monsters, and gaining strength, One day hoping to find their old master and show them what they've achieved._*

  • @tomasturbado3942

    Amazing build as always! The droid kinda gives me the vibes of an old mechanic droid left abandoned for decades after an imperial raid wiped out the rebel outpost it worked on.
    Maybe in the first order era? I don't know, it feels like a wise droid surviving undercover and passing on the knowledge and hope that the rebellion gave them.

    Another great build! For back story, the robot looks like something built from the junk pile by a group of people stranded on the planet (like the Kurt Russell movie “soldier”, good flick if you can watch). After the humans leave he was left to his own devices to wander around for hundreds of years looking for a purpose - pose, and use of gizmology was spot on!

    That's a rusty beauty!
    To me, it looks like this droid was supposed to be a companion or patrol bot, helping others pathfinder or defend against smaller life-forms. It's tall because tall droids are intimidating to most sentients, and the staff would provide rudimentary combat capabilities. It's definitely been damaged, or had parts wear out, and someone added bits to it to try and compensate. Perhaps it still serves It's purpose, or it could be just another forsaken droid, wandering aimlessly through the jungle.

    Phenomenal custom scavenger droid Boylei!! I love how you started with an astromech and built it out (and up) for more articulation, the colors do seem kind of subdued, but that fits the story and conveys the sense this guy has been around for a very, very long time.
    Possible backstory; "Rusty" was the astromech repair droid of a scrapper on a backwater planet that saw more than its fairshare of battles during the rebellion. As time went on the scrapper added parts to Rusty and upgraded his systems as tech was found to make him a more useful companion for the scrapper.
    Now, decades after his creator has past away, Rusty still wanders the planet doing what he has done his whole life, collecting junk and scavenging parts to repair and trade with others at the local spaceports.
    Another awesome scratch build sir, this could fit in with either your Star Wars or your Wild Imaginary West builds. Great stuff, thanks for sharing, stay safe and keep on keeping on!!
