Nice work, Luke..I mean....REALLY NICE WORK on that dio set. And no photoshop means you actually have some real skills with that camera too. The competition just kicked into something serious now

  Awesome droid from you as well, Doc.  Nice lines and a clean paint job on yours. I knew I was going to be bounced around and slam dunked in this contest, so I knew you guys were going to rock in this competition.

Ok, I sure don't know where to start with all of this.  Every entry thus far has been absolutely spectacular, without a doubt.  I love seeing all of these fan fictions come to tangible life, and it's funny how so far, most of them have lived up to my ideas. 

Luke, I am completely floored.  I swear that is precisely what I pictured as The Guardian.  You did wonderfully on the use of so many parts, and the camera use was extraordinary!  Bravo, my good man.  Bravo!

Thanks  guys, I am glad some of the writers have chimed in and approve. I was hoping it didn't get too crazy, I had  few more things in place but removed them as it would become too much of a diorama. When I made the center part it didn't look quite right because it needed to be contained, it looked odd standing alone. So the back piece is styrofoam packing piece greeblied up a bit. There again I wanted to do more but didn't want to be looked at as too much of a diorama. I just used parts that seemed to make sense for an ancient super computer and try to keep it down to pieces that would accomplish the things written about the "figure." This again is all trash to treasure using free styrofoam, happy meal toys, a few pieces from thrift store for 15 cents ea. and random bits from the fodder bins. There are 2 pieces used from SW toys. One is from a vehicle the other from a playset. Can you find them?

Shawn, I brainstormed this for about 2 hrs in the middle of a pile of fodder that could be held in 3 big walker boxes. Then spent about 2 hrs a day for the last 7 days figuring out detail parts, gluing stuff together, painting, setting up, changing things, drybrushing all the silver, final touches. Then I spent about 4 hrs cleaning up, setting up for pics, and photographing. It was a lot of fun and a very different subject for me.

Ok,I've been looking at those pics again and I just found a piece I recognize that gives me a sense of how BIG this thing is!!

(I spotted the Dr. Lewis claw used as the "small" droid's legs...)

Nice to see my idea looks as good in execution as it did in concept!  ;D  Brendan and I were discussing the use of that claw for that exact purpose a few weeks ago.
