Madmonk Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 As a slight distraction from normal modelling I picked up on of RetrokiTs latest Minion kits whilst at Smallspace3.In a bit of a mash up between Despicable Me and Star Wars the first of a small series is Darth "Bannana".A 3 piece resin kit that stands about 2 inch tall, the only parts you need to supply are the light sabre blades and Domi helpfully suggests using stretched sprue.I had a bit of plastic rod that I used for the light sabre and gave it a base of silver then a couple of coats of clear red.Normal minions are yellow but I am reliably informed by my daughters that the evil ones are purple!RetrokiTs are developing a nice range of movie Minions and soon to come are Arnie, Freddy, Scream and Jason as well as R2 and a Dalek!!Thanks for looking.Cheers,Warren 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks guys. Yes Matt, I designed and produced the lighting module for it. As with all of Domi's kits it's excellent. I also picked up his Martian tripod which for the amount of resin and white metal is a very affordable kit. Have fun with bee-do!
