A project log for Star Wars: BT-1 the Blastomech

BT-1 was introduced in the Star Wars Darth Vader comic books as a twisted mirror version of R2-D2. BT-1 is the first and only Blastomech.

Sorry about the pun. I couldn't help myself.

The MPCNC did a good job of cutting out the many, many dome support blocks I needed. I decided to give BT's eye box some depth and detail with parts I had leftover from building Crow. I'll probably pick up some more random sizes of that conduit because it works so well.

I am definitely keeping with the R6 style head even though the toy version of BT uses an R5 head. I just think it looks less comical.
