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.

I want to make BT's eye interesting and true to the comic. I didn't realize it before but BT does have a lot of symmetry with the tubing behind the eye. It's one of the most consistent things about his design. I tried to emulate that as best I could with the materials I had. I did not want to 3d print the tubes. I didn't think I could capture the proper depth.

If I can find my leftover can of Testors Lime Gold Flake from Crow I'll use it for BT's yellowish gold parts.
