Here we go!

After much research, delay and procrastination I have begun building my FX-7 Medical Droid replica. I used a simple illustration blueprint that I found online as a starting point, along with several reference photos of the droid from museum exhibits. I used those to build a base 3D model to get the beginning shapes and dimensions.

I then procured some 3mm foamed PVC from my new friends at Grimco.com (free shipping)! and went to work cutting the first circles for the top of the head.

  1. Excellent! I think I still have that action figure if you need further reference material!

  2. I am tempted to have you send it but I fear it may muddy the waters as to how it really looks!

  3. Are you using mm or inches to measure? I am assuming that this will be full size?

    1. I am using inches. Yes, it is going to be full size. It will be about 5'10" tall when done and 27.5" at the widest point on the base.
